this mod aged very well honestly

oh if only he knew, if only he knew

It shows up often in Repentance, cuz quality 0?

In fact, this item can work with rep, but its bomb map is distorted if you don't get other bomb items.

does anyone knows if this works on rep?
this seems a little better than the rep brimstone bombs

funny

this sprite is alot cooler than the repentance item lol

lol

and it's now in the game... kinda

sorry your item is diminished by the real brimstone bomb

PYRE, it an item therefore its in an item pool

How do I use it?

great idea

Actually, according to the comments it doesn't work with scatter bombs. I haven't tested that myself, but it'd make sense for it to behave like that.

holy crap, imagine getting this with scatter bombs

2 times for some reason idk why

This person copied it! Just FYI.

Woo

Added 5 bombs on item pickup! Thanks @Erfly for telling me the bombs field works!

If it wasn't working before it's certainly working now. Just made a few test items with it.

Oh, does that really work? I've heard people saying it doesn't and for some reason never tried it myself, I'll try it tomorrow and see how it goes, thanks!

Here's a way to consistently add bombs, with next to no chance of breaking anything. Just state bombs="n" in the items.xml file.

If scatterbombs gets synergyzed with it, then the scatterbombs brimstone should be 1/4 the normal brimstone damage. It would be awesome and less op.

I think scatter bombs should work with it, someimes we need Op in isaac.

KubeRoot: Cool, thanks for answering, keep up the good work!

Excruciatingly Innacurate Hawk: I might add the bomb sprite to the bomb if I get around to it, making the brimstone wear off faster is only possible to an extent because the fuse can be prolonged indefinitely from external sources, not being included in scatter bombs was not intentional but i known (I can include it if people want it), it is in the bomb beggar item pool, the brimstone lasts indefinitely and Mr Mega increasing range would be an interesting synergy, I'll think about it.

Thanks for your comment!

This looks awesome!

Just a couple suggestions:
-Would you be willing to add the bomb sprite to the bomb itself?
-You might try to make the Brimstone wear off faster than the bomb explodes, dunno if that's possible or not.
-Was this purposely not included in Scatter Bombs? If so, keep it that way. That would be OP.
-This would fit really nicely in the Bomb Beggar item pool (Not really sure if that's possible, just thought it would be cool).
-Does the Brimstone last for a set amount of time, or as long as the bomb is alive? Because this would be an interesting synergy with Remote Detonator!
-Just a thought, it would be cool if Mr. Mega and Polyphemus made the Brimstone have longer range.
Anyway, those are just some thoughts I had while testing it. Great mod, keep up the good work!

Ok, thanks for explaining that to us.

The point is, to do that I'd have to detect exactly when the item is picked up - I can do that, but I can't guarantee I'll do it properly. There's no supported way to detect when an item is picked up, which means detecting that with diplopia or rerolls is going to be troublesome. I'd also rather wait for them to implement it rather than give them an excuse not to implement because "You can already do that!" or something, after all, the communication isn't very good.

or spawn 5 bombs on pickup
that shouldn't break it right?

My apologies, I'm not too sure of the technical terms.
But yeah, an item pickup callback is certainly something we need.

Cache update would make no sense in this case - bombs aren't reset and recalculated whenever you pick one up. What is needed is simply a callback on item pickup that is guaranteed to trigger exactly once every time the appropriate item is picked up/rerolled into.

Yeah that is true come to think of it. There's no cache update for bombs.

Yeah, it might be a good idea, but I decided not to risk it, as there doesn't seem to be any straightforward way and I'd rather not break it.

Might be a good idea to give the player 5 bombs on pickup, a bit like other bomb affecting items.

What a bummer.
I'm just gonna subscribe and wait until you can update it to spawn ingame.
THanks for lending an ear, or rather, an eye, tho.

The problem is that if you do that, it's going to completely break when multiple mods that add items are installed, because the item ID changes based on the order in which the game loads the items. I don't like hacky stuff, at least not when it's caused by MY laziness.

So yeah @KubeRoot if you even understood what I said (I can't articulate myself in english that well if it's about more complicated procedures) you could try putting a custom item pool list in the files so people can add your item manually.

One of the mods I subscribed to had a custom item pool list in it that included the modded item somehow. I loaded it into the item pool editor to see an item with the number 511 I think, after that I loaded the original source item pool file and it was still there. I added the item to a few item pools and I think that it can now spawn in my game. So I guess we have to do it manually but I don't really know if it works or how to include a custom item pool list in a workshop item (because I haven't uploaded any mods yet).

No, sadly I have no idea how to properly add items to the pools and don't know anybody who knows the correct way, I'll happily update it if somebody shows me how to do it though.

is this item auto added to the item pools?

oh k :(

You can set the thumbnail inside the mod uploader tool, no idea how does it work steam-wise.

And if u want to try my mod it's called GreedBreaker

one question. How do you change the thumbnail of your mod because i have made a mod and i don't know how to change it. BTW Ur mod i great and i hope you make more like it
