Better Stairway

Description
This is a simple mod that does two things.

1: It will re-spawn the ladder spawned by The Stairway every time you go back into the starting room of a floor.
It will only do this for floors visited after after picking up The Stairway and not for the same floor.

2: It will make a path from the ladder to the upper door if there is no path. This means that in greed mode, the player will always be able to access the ladder. However, it will not fix certain custom starting rooms that have different types of obstructions than Greed Mode has. This probably won't be an issue for most players.
I might change this in the future.

What if you want to have the greed mode fix, but you don't want the ladder to re-spawn because that gives you an unfair advantage? All you need to do is change a single line on line 6 of the main.lua, setting one variable true instead of false. You can open the main.lua file in notepad, as well as many other text editing programs.

Report any issues in the comments of my the mod's workshop page.

Known issues: If a player re-rolls another item into The Stairway inside their inventory, a ladder will spawn on the same stage that they recieved The Stairway.

Found a crash! If you have The Stairway and are in the Home floor and you go in and out of the first room, The Stairway will spawn, entering it will crash your game!

Is this necessary after the latest patch?

Bug thats potentially unfixable: in Greed mode if you touch the Stairway you go into the angel room and you have to restart the whole waves again

@Smugless Great mod. If you need any help implementing MCM into the mod, I could help with that. :resmile:

@Fyre I am planning to add compatibility with Mod Config Menu, but I'm not exactly sure how to do so yet.There will be a new release once I figure that out.

You should probably see if you can add compatibility with Mod Config Menu

@Mizune I think the second feature of the mod should be official.
