Toggle in-game?
Is there any way to toggle this on/off while in-game? Such as a keypress?
If not, would it be possible to add in?

Sometimes the text really gets in the way of combat in a room.

A way to configure the text size would be really awesome, too. Thanks.

The text size can be changed in the config.lua file. But right now, there is no way to toggle the descriptions off/on ingame.

Thanks, I'll look into that.

As for the toggle, I'm sad to hear that. I'm not sure how hard/easy that would be to implement.
One of the "True Co-Op" related mods (True Co-op HUD Stats) has a way to toggle font size with the F1 key.

IMPORTANT! Since the last time I updated my mod, several of you asked me about an update. Since I am no longer able to do it, I recommend to you a improved version made by treks (I haven't tried by myself yet):...


Not sure if you are taking suggestions or requests, but this would be really awesome to include a way to toggle the feature On/Off.

Places like the Sacrifice room and fighting angels can be a bit overwhelming with the text overlay. Or like Bumbo, which covers half the room:

Thanks for the response either way!

I decided to dive into some Isaac coding.

Anyone interested in customizing it themselves, see below. Otherwise, tweaking the font size, and the width of the "text area" was a Huge help. Thanks @Wofsauge !

Anyway, here was my solution:

At the top of main.lua, where main variables are declared, I added a new local var:
local EIDEnabled = true

Near the top of the function related to "MC_POST_RENDER" I added this:
-- (F2) key toggle if Input.IsButtonTriggered(Keyboard.KEY_F2, 0) then if EIDEnabled == true then EIDEnabled = false else EIDEnabled = true end end

And then I wrapped the main logic checking of EID with this code:

-- custom keybind EID toggle flag if EIDEnabled == true then ... original code here ... else return end


This way, you can press F2 to turn the descriptions off & on.

You can now toggle the descriptions by pressing F2. Thank you for suggesting this feature ;)
