You can choose a tear effect in the menu
Created 9 years ago
This mod lets you choose your tear effect in the menu
The name of Challenges has been changed to Tears
In the Tears menu you can find 26 different tear effects
Every option shows the item and the effect

You don't need to have the challenges unlocked and if you complete a run it will give you the achievement

This mod has an Rebirth, Afterbirth and Afterbirth+ version



Extract the file and put the content of your version in the resources folder
You can find it in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\The Binding of Isaac Rebirth\resources"
If not, go to steam and right click on The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth and click Properties, go to Local Files and click Browse Local Files...



1. Did you look at the "How to Download" title
2. Did you choose the wrong version
3. Maybe another mod causes it

If it is still not working i don't know what the cause is



If you find a bug or have any ideas to make this mod even greater, put it in the comments

- Added Afterbirth+ version

- Added a Rebirth version

- The mod is now Mac compatible (Thanks pokedart9001)

- Added markers if the challenge is completed

- Added 3 effects: Lost contact, Continuum and The Wiz

- 29 and 30 are skipped (29 would damage you if you missed and 30 always starts with NiceLilith)

- Added 3 new effects: Polyphemus, The Ludovico Technique and Marked

- 22 and 24 can't get new effects (22 speeds the game up, 24 lets you die instantly) so they are skipped

- There will come more effects later

this mod chances all the gameplay

amazing mod for new expierements
Amazing Mod! You should make this for the afterbirth+ workshop too, cause you can add custom challenges!
there are three different versions when you download it, for Rebirth, Afterbirth and Afterbirth+
"If it is still not working i don't know what te cause is"
Its the cause. Must inform you of typo
When i put cause in google translate it gives me the right word (dutch translation: oorzaak)
"when you put in cause for a translation you got the right word" so what were you translating it from?
i have put in "cause" and i got "oorzaak"(dutch translation)
"reason" is almost the same as "cause" and could replace "cause" in my sentence
Do these tear effects disable achievements?
You can get the challenge achievements but not the normal achievements, but you can get the normal achievements with normal runs
I really wished The ludovico Technique challenge existed for Rebirth... Its still good tho, and it gives me the D6!
I love how you made the tear effect sprites on the menu.
Looks really cool. Can't wait to download it.
Yes, There is a Afterbirth and Rebirth version
Does this work for Mac by any chance

thanks so much (love the fast reply!!! best kind of mod makers)
Since you've got another 4 challenges left, might I suggest:
Chocolate Milk
My Reflection
Godhead
Rubber Cement
The 4 challenges i didn't use had hard coded side effects, such as Pay to Play has doors that cost a coin
It only has 20 effects because there are less challenges in Rebirth
very good and helpful thank you
this mod has more downloads then The binding of isaac : Hardmode.
But in popularity Hardmode has more points, a download counts as 1 point and a heart counts as 5 points
I can only have 26 items, there are 4 challenges i can't use
can you please make it for rebirth because I only have rebirth at the moment and I really don't want to wait a couple of months to get afterbirth
I have a good idea! Make it so you can combine tear effects!
(a.k.a. combine brimstone + quad shot so you can have quad brimstone!)
That would be impossible, sorry
What we can do with mods is limited, I made it so that the challenges are tear effect and you cannot combine challenges
btw this is a very good mod thank you for making it
that would be good what if you combine all the tear effects?
To get a cool tear effect at the start of your run
it woud be better if it woudent be like a chaleng
But now you have more tear effects
you cant earn achievments when you pick a tear effect...
I have tested it and you can, if you complete a challenge that you haven't completed yet will give you the archievement
no i meant like... unlocking things like blue baby or wire coat hanger. you cant get normal achievments beacuse they are disabled.
That is true... but that is something i can't change
In challenges you can't earn archievements
aww that sucks... . well i geuss there isnt much we can do about that...
How about a Cricket's Body or Cursed Eye tear effect?
I'm limited to 26 tear effects but i can replace some tear effects to more fun tear effects
I wish you could have more, because there's some items that you haven't got. Maybe make a second mod or something.
This Is What I Needed Thank You!
Downloading it! i bought Afterbirth for that!
It'd be better if you could choose the character you play as...
Other than that, great mod, and great idea!
If i did it with the characters i could put less tear effects in this mod
This make's the challenges real easy.
now i can knife monsters and explode them thanks
You need to have The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth in your steam library
You need to have The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth in your steam library
I LOVE IT!!! i dont know how you did it but its amazing
You need to set up your steam profile to like/download
Well made, very interesting mod. Love it. An idea, though, would be to maybe make the tear effect have some sort of marker when you complete them?
hey thanks for helping everyone bro

Owning the game on Steam is no longer required to download mods! All you need to do is login with a Steam account and you're good to go.
