Sol And Luna Buff

Description
Another planetarium items enhancer I guess? These two items are pretty situational up to the point, where they are just useless on some floors, which isn't nice for items from planetarium. It's not like you have unlimited tries to get an useful item from it!
Effects
⠀• Sol:
1) You gain Sol effect* upon entering Boss room, instead of until killing boss. You won't keep effect, if you leave room uncleared.
2) After you beat miniboss, gains another Sol effect for a floor. If there is no miniboss on floor, tries to place miniboss room. Miniboss's room icon will be shown on map.

⠀• Luna:
1) in Blue Womb, places Secret room;
2) at Ascent levels, places Secret and Super Secret room;
3) at Home (after you sleep on Mom's bed) spawns 2 Moonlight effects**.

* By 'Sol effect' I mean 'damage and luck up' part only.
** First in Mom's bedroom, and second in closet, that is opened with Red Key.

Update v.1.3. In short: now instead of just spawning Moonlight effects, mod places Secret and Super Secret rooms.

It's simple but effective, I like it. It's certainly better than how it is currently. What if you release a mod with that effect for now, and then update it later if you think of a better solution? There's no other Jupiter rework mod, so it'd be better than nothing. Currently I just use the Item Ban List mod to remove it from the game completely lol.
But maybe, hopefully, it will get an official rework/buff in the update next month.

@Revalopod Honestly, I don't like Jupiter as it is either, but I lack clear vision what I want to do with it. I like how it's themed with farts, which were part of Isaac long before itself. But IDK where to take it from there.

Though, I actually have an idea, but I'm still not sure that is what I really want to do with Jupiter.

Just inversing how it affects speed. I mean, making it increase speed as you move, and lowering it when you stay in place.
If you think about it, just that would improve item a LOT:
1) In such way it will no longer slow you down, when you're just exploring/minmaxing the floor.
2) To stay in place to "recharge" item, you need to get away from enemies first, to what vanilla behaviour is once again detrimental.
I think, I could do that, but as stated above, I'm still not sure I really like this solution.

I hope you'll consider buffing Jupiter too, maybe as a separate mod, as imo that item is not only bad, but actively detrimental to the point I will never willingly pick it up. Planetarium items don't always have to be super amazing of course, but they should at least be good enough that you'll actually want to pick them up!

My suggestion would be to rework it entirely and remove or mostly negate the speed penalty, and remove the "stand still to increase speed, then run to let out farts" mechanic. That mechanic is clunky and never really worth making use of, so I don't think it's redeemable. So instead, maybe something as simple as every 1-3 seconds, fart in a random direction. In addition, Jupiter could give flight as well, as the fat wings costume looks funny, and it fits thematically because gas giant = big floating fatty.

Sol is a boring and weak item imo, so this is a really good change.
Luna is cool, when it can work, so this change makes it more consistently usable which is good too.

v.1.1.
Now Sol effects are limited to 3 at once.
Upon sin being chosen it's chance of being chosen again is lowered.

I know the mod doesn't affect sprites, I just found it amazing that I saw a sprite I never saw before from a different mod. I did have Sol during that run, and I found it weird that I kept consistently getting Super Greed specifically. This isn't really a huge issue, given that getting Sol itself is quite rare, and getting the same miniboss multiple times isn't an issue either. I just thought it could be this mod that caused that.
Roary  [author] 8 Mar, 2024 @ 3:19am 
@Nam Ehcatsoum sorry for late reply. Mod shouldn't change anything unless you have Sol or Luna, and miniboss is chosen depending on floor rng. Also, mod doesn't interact with sprites

i dont know if this is a bug to do with this mod, but i keep getting super greed as the miniboss. i saw the super greed scarred womb sprite from the unique sins mod

oh wow these are good and sensible buffs! i was expecting the awful shit isaac fans do where they buff a bad item by giving it 20 other random overpowered effects, but this is really nice
