Sacrifice Rooms Reworked
Useless Sacrifice Rooms No More!
Created 8 years ago
SUPPORT FOR AFTERBIRTH AND REBIRTH!

This mod changes the Sacrifice Rooms into something more useful.

There are 32 new and different Sacrifice Rooms.

All Sacrifice Rooms require you to lose HP, but all of them will reward you acordingly for your losses.

To install, select your game (afterbirth or rebirth) folder, and extract the "rooms" folder inside it to Steam\steamapps\common\The Binding of Isaac Rebirth\resources\

I'm trying to make it so when you pick an item (in the 4-5 item rooms) the others disappear. I'm not sure if it's possible, but I'll see what I can do.

Narrow rooms are now in the mod!

Now works with Rebirth!

KNOWN ISSUE:
After the new patch that added some utility to the Sacrifice Rooms (including the fights against the Angels and teleport to the Dark Room), an issue appeared with the mod:

Each set of spikes has it's "reward counter". For example, the angels are at counter 9. Hurting yourself in different sets on spikes, won't count towards an global counter, but towards a specific counter for each spike set.

So in order to get the rewards as supposed to, you'll need to hurt yourself ALWAYS in the SAME SET OF SPIKES.

This doesn't mean you can't walk through other sets of spikes to get your items from the mod, it just means doing so won't count towards the new Sacrifice Room mechanic added in the last patch.


If you find any room that doesn't allow you to leave it without taking damage, please let me know. Also, if you find any room underwhelming, say something. Your feedback is important!

Feedback is highly appreciated!

Thank you guys!

- Changed most rooms so they would be more fight-friendly, since now you can actually fight monsters there.

- Had to remove a couple of rooms that were impossible to fight in. I'm still figuring out what to do with them.

- KNOWN ISSUE: Since my rooms have multiple sets of spikes (unlike the vanilla ones), the game isn't coded so the hits you take stack with each other. This means that, in order to get the rewards from the mechanic presented last patch, you need to hurt yourself ALWAYS in the SAME SET OF SPIKES.

- Added 10 new narrow rooms!

- There was a Room (31) that had a fire that was not symmetrical.

- No more devilish (no pun intended) rooms that won't let you leave. No more monsters inside the rooms, they were never a good idea.

- Tweaked a couple of rooms that had bugs (and were not symmetrical).

- Added 9 more rooms.

- Fixed the rooms you couldn't exit without taking damage.

- If you find any bug, or any room that makes you take damage without letting you exit, please let me know.

- Added 5 new rooms.

- Added Rebirth Support. If you find some bug please let me know

- Rebalanced a couple of rooms.

- Added rooms with only 2 possible doors.

- Added 7 more Rooms.

- Rebalanced some of the rooms.

- Decreased the Weight of some stronger rooms.

This mod would have been great before they made sacrifice rooms a bit better. Although I'm glad they buffed them, nice job trying to fix it yourself. Haha.
How do you edit rooms, please give me a link of the old Basement Renovator, you don't know how much I want that!
https://www.reddit.com/r/themoddingofisaac/comments/3thi8y/tutorial_how_to_createedit_rooms_for_afterbirth/

I made a tutorial how to edit the rooms there.

It also has the links for all the tools needed!
I can't download the Windows one, and the Mac one is coded in .py ...Please help me with this, it's nice that you actually gave me the lnik but that is not the problem...
Mods like this are why the lack of official mod support,or at least some sort of fan-made mod loader,really sucks the root. I want to go back to using this mod,but I'd have to give up Adminfrog's Insane Item Rooms since they both edit the same file.

I tried to manually merge the two with Notepad,but I can't seem to identify which rooms are yours. Would you perhaps be willing to give a quick rundown on that so we can try to merge your mod with other special room mods?

These are all the rooms from the mod. Just copy them to the XML and paste them after any .

If you want to delete the original ones, just use CTRL+L (or CTRL+F in notepad++) to look for this line - room type="13" - and delete all the rooms that you find.

If you need any help, let me know!
That was precisely the information I was hoping for,my thanks. A little Notepad surgery and everything's gnarly. Now I just need someone to fix those worthless curse rooms so I'm not paying health for a spider to the face.
You're the best. Thanks for this.
Well, can't wait for Afterbirth+ that adds lua modding support.
Found Poliphemus in a narrow sacrifice room in the Womb 2.
Mod of the year nominee right here.
For Asriel, if you've unlocked the razor blade, I think it takes priority over the nail.
Awesome! You made the game more useless room into something usefull! Downloading, ill wait till i have Platinum god to install :P
That was the whole point. Thank you very much!
By the way, i left a comment in your reddit post, can you answer it please? Ive been also talking with Chronometrics, he says that he doesnt has a set time for Basement Renovator Afterbirth to release, but for what ive been reading, he is close to finishing it! Maybe for the end of the year he will finish it? I wanna read your thoughts on that! Imagine all the things you could create, faster than before.
You will no longer have to set Coord by coord!
This is I think one of the best mods ever!!! Thanks
no... thank you!! how do you even make mods like this?
I made a tutorial about it!

when i downloaded this i didnt get any folders just sacrificeroomsrework_1.5.rar and im not 100% sure what to do with it
Extract the .rar file to the location in the Help page: http://moddingofisaac.com/help/
I really would love to know how you edited the rooms...
I just created a HUGE tutorial about this in /r/themoddingofisaac. Give it a look!

why does it delete itself everytime i restart isaac? like the data in the rooms folder deletes itself. i dont get it
I don't really know, never happened to me on any mod. Maybe your steam thinks the file does not belong there?
why would it do that? its really annoying i like this mod :/
Its still broken, you can't bomb the door because it won't break
Version 1.4.1? There shouldn't be any more locked rooms.
It is still impossible to leave the rooms! The one with lots of key blocks and 8 Invisible Devils waiting. I have only one health and no keys!
Is it the one with 8 devils in the middle, or the one with them split?

If you're using the latest version, the rooms should have a bomb in order to bomb down the door behind you.
http://i.imgur.com/CQQvkNc.png this room needs to be REWORKED... its SO UNFAIR...
Are you sure you're using the latest version?

That room was reworked in 1.3, you can see in the screenshots, the last one is the reworked room.
There needs to be a way to leave the sacrifice room even if there are enemies in it. I don't want to be punished for accidentally going into one... You should only have to take damage if you want to get the item.
I've corrected the two rooms where you can't leave without taking damage, and will be updating later today.

Thank you!
Awesome. I love the ideas. Balance might be questionable, but I see that you are working hard on improving it. Keep up the good work!
I'm trying to make the items disappear when another item is picked in the 4-5 item rooms, but it's proving to be a challenge to do so. It would really help balancing things out.

Also, just released the fixed version for the sacrifice rooms with enemies!
I donwloaded newest version like you were saying. The room looks a bit different, yet I still cant move, unless I kill myself on spikes...
You should have a bomb in the middle of the room so that you could blow up the door, no?
Did you make these using Basement Renovator or just by editing the XML for the rooms? (I ask because I didn't think the AB version of BR is out yet but if it is I need to know where to get it).
It's kinda tricky to explain.

I used the BR version for Rebirth, since there isn't a Afterbirth version yet. But I manually altered the Afterbirth XML, to include the rooms that I created in the Rebirth file using BR.
