Jacob and Esau Overhaul

Description
This mod makes Jacob and Esau enjoyable to play.

Features
  • Control Jacob and Esau independently, simultaneously!
  • Use movement keys to move Jacob, and firing keys to move Esau!
  • Watch as Jacob and Esau fire automatically at your enemies!
  • Manually command their targeting with the drop input, or the shift keys on keyboard!
  • Experience a brand new Birthright taking full advantage of their new independence!
  • Customize them with an in-game menu (press C or click the joystick!)
  • Breaks horribly on AB+!
  • and more!

Credits
DeadInfinity - The mod
Ikaruga (through Sbody2) - The idea for J+E's new Birthright
Sodom & Gomorrah - Inspiration for two characters controlled w/ different keys.
Team Folio - Testing, feedback, generally being rad.
Melon - Earning ages worth of respect for good will, hard work, and brilliant thinking that made the idea worth trying.
Maria - "Was There"

Unintended Features
  • The API doesn't provide a way to prevent the drop input from freezing Esau in place. If you're on keyboard, you can use the shift keys instead to avoid this. If not, sorry!
  • The Mines escape sequence disables Marked. This means you have to manually command Jacob and Esau to shoot, via the drop input or the shift keys, which is a little inconvenient.
  • Red Bombs must be thrown with the drop input or shift keys.
  • This mod uses the MC_PRE_PLAYER_COLLISION callback, which is currently broken in the API and can only be used by one mod at a time. You can get around this with Mod Compatibility Hack.

Update: Pressing C on your keyboard with this mod enabled in online co-op seems to desync the game. When using this mod with your friends, just avoid that key like the plague I guess?

Seems to work fine in Rep+, even in co-op online! Just don't take eye of the occult, it basically made me lose half my dps due to it being bugged.

i have a problem cuz when Jacob and Esau walk away from eachother of close together they change dmg they have and it lags the hell out of my game, any help?

as a fan of the original jacob+esau (even the antibirth version), i have to say this mod is really well made. i don't enjoy using it, but i understand that this was not made for me. the biggest issue i honestly have with this is that they start with marked. it would be fine it it didn't give you the stat ups, but it does, giving you really good stats for the early floors.

also, the auto aiming makes a lot of enemies pretty weak against you, but i don't think you could have made it any other way, so i'll give it a pass.

блин это очень крутая переделка
особенно то что вы мотивируете держать их подальше друг от друга

is this fixed in rep+?

Shame this isn't being updated. J&E suck to play as but have the best unlocks by far.

Hi there! I've been putting together modlist for accessibility (audio, visual, cognitive, motor) and the auto targeting system seems helpful for allowing players to play one-handed or with a blow straw. It could even appeal to people who enjoy gameplay like vampire survivors. Could I ask you to make this kind of mod but for all characters? I can offer sending something over PayPal, since this might be asking a lot. Thank you!
