Yet another item description mod
Created 8 years ago

I added a rebirth version to the zip, let me know if it doesn't work!



I was inspired to make this mod after seeing inconsistencies, spelling errors and various other little issues while playing with BlueSpike's Clearer Item Descriptions. So I took matters into my own hands, settled down with a fresh items.xml and pocketitems.xml and here I am, a day later, with something that I hope is free of the issues I had with his mod.

This mod is pretty simple, it does what it says on the tin: replaces most item descriptions with text that strives to be concise, yet descriptive (includes trinkets, cards, runes). As a not very experienced player, I tend to often have to switch between the game and platinumgod(shoutout to this site, it was of great help) to check out what items do. In creating this, I hope I can make playing the game a little nicer experience, with more shooting tears at poop and less alt-tabbing.

INSTALLATION: it's as simple as putting the two .xml files in your resources folder (Steam/steamapps/common/The Binding of Isaac Rebirth/resources). You gotta use the correct version (afterbirth/rebirth) for your game, too.

Feedback greatly appreciated, especially if you notice a grammar or spelling mistake.

- Added a rebirth version

- will prefix changes with AB, RB or BT for afterbirth-only, rebirth-only or both

- AB: Changed "Missing poster"'s description (unlock The Lost instead of giving out a hint)

- Uploaded proper archive with up to date files

- Minor fix to "D10" (added a word)

- Fixed "D4"'s description (it was entirely wrong)

- Fixed "Lil Charge"'s description (name was swapped with description)

- Fixed "9 Volt"'s description (changed its name instead of its description)

- Fixed "Eden's Blessing" description (was missing a "tears")

- Added a proper description to "The Pact" (somehow I missed it)

Mod worked perfectly, started crashing my game when the coin bum dropped something that wasn't a bomb. Happened three times.
The D4's description still seems to be wrong. Otherwise nice mod!
Thanks for pointing that out, I had uploaded the wrong zip for some reason, it should be up to date now.
FYI, if you don't have Afterbirth, your game will crash when entering an item room.
The D4's Description is Wrong.

The D4 Rerolls your items, not Enemies.
Thanks for pointing that out, I fixed it along with another item.
