update i'm very daft and failed to realise that the latest repentance update just... added champion boss sprites. that being said, yours are nice so you could just remove the code altogether and fix the file names to make this mod work again.

So I looked into why some bosses go invisible with this mod, and apparently the boss color index just... doesn't exist anymore? The current version of bosscolors.xml doesn't have colors as an integer anymore, but a suffix like "_green" or "_blue". Entity:getBossColorIdx() returns the boss sub-type now, so it tries to load red or grey boss sprites that aren't there. I'm trying to see if there's a concise way to get that suffix, but for now the only way I can see of fixing it is just a map of boss sub-types to colors.

Will this be updated to work with the new update?

The bosses went invisible. I got my ass kicked in the Boss Rush because I couldn't see half of them lmao

Doesn't work

There are a bunch of invisible bosses now. Great mod, but now it breaks the game unfortunately.
Mr. Panache, Pindos 17 Apr, 2022 @ 12:39am 
Mods is broke.

mod broken since last update, some sprites (e.g. pin) became invisible when encountered, hope to fix this

Will this be updated to work with the new game update?
Alphadas 11 Apr, 2022 @ 4:25am

@eywright It does actually... with the mod installed the bosses with new sprites are invisible ;)
We will just have to wait for an update.
Veggie Ice Cream™ 23 Mar, 2022 @ 2:08am 
Good while it lasted.
colin 22 Mar, 2022 @ 8:53pm 
o7 boys it was nice while it lasted
tofort 22 Mar, 2022 @ 1:44pm 
I think it would be nice if with the new update, you could use the mod config menu to choose which sprites override each other. Sorry if that's too much to ask.
Cyanmarker 22 Mar, 2022 @ 12:13pm 
Guess I gotta uninstall now o7
Revalopod 22 Mar, 2022 @ 11:50am 
does anyone have pics of the new sprites added in the latest rep patch?
infernalthing 22 Mar, 2022 @ 11:23am 
You could update so these sprites replace the newly added ones.
Jonathan 21 Mar, 2022 @ 6:17pm 
To this dear mod, I salute you. Although you can always just elaborate even further on the new sprites!
eywright 21 Mar, 2022 @ 5:52pm 
@scrumpyknight dude the update just came out. Also just because champion bosses have new sprites doesn't mean this mod can't exist.
Scrumpyknight 21 Mar, 2022 @ 5:11pm 
alas it do be like that sometimes
Scrumpyknight 21 Mar, 2022 @ 5:10pm 
sorry bro but this aged a little poorly

Is this compatible with the Sigmonstro mod? (this one https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2700801027)

@Stack Man Thank you for replying!
Stack Man  [author] 3 Dec, 2021 @ 11:31am 
@mixboy203 Mom's appearance is not effected at all by this mod. If you're not seeing a Repentance version of Mom's sprites, check your other mods.
mixboy203 3 Dec, 2021 @ 1:31am 
Can we expect an unpdate so Mom's appearance would match the Repentance update?
Flair 10 Nov, 2021 @ 11:36pm 
Great to hear! Thanks!
Stack Man  [author] 10 Nov, 2021 @ 11:35pm 
@Flair The entire sprite is scaled down for size, so there shouldn't be any issues with the recent update.
Flair 10 Nov, 2021 @ 10:34pm 
Has anyone tested Pink champion cage? Was updated in the recent 1.7.5 version of repentance.
Sass'0'Frass 10 Nov, 2021 @ 4:43pm 
What happened to the Antibirth better champions mod?

@Scorch Jonathan McShot go ahead

Would it be alright if I used this mod's files to create my own take on the concept? I love the idea and think it would be fun to create some custom boss champion sprites, but I lack the knowledge to recreate the changes to the code from scratch.
solamon77 30 Jun, 2021 @ 8:38pm 
Thanks Stack Man. I really like your mod a lot. As a matter of fact, I like it so much I've been fighting an invisible Pin for weeks now just so I wouldn't have to disable it! :-D Fortunately, even completely invisible, Pin is a pushover.
Stack Man  [author] 30 Jun, 2021 @ 5:06pm 
@solamon77 go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\The Binding of Isaac Rebirth\mods\

Open the better champion bosses folder and open "main.lua" in notepad. Select Edit > Go To... and go to line 597.

There should be two lines there starting with "mod:AddCallback". Add two dashes in front of each line. This should disable pin.
solamon77 30 Jun, 2021 @ 4:28pm 
I'm still having problems with an invisible Pin. Is there anyway I can just disable Pin? I really don't want to lose this mod.
Stack Man  [author] 9 Jun, 2021 @ 6:15pm 
@Jonathan Unfortunately, removing the boss tints overrides status effects tints as well. It doesn't seem like there will ever be a way around this.
Jonathan 9 Jun, 2021 @ 6:10pm 
Only bug that I found (which is REALLY annoying but I can forgive because the champion designs are awesome) is that status effects don't color the champion bosses at all. Might be something to do with the modding API being more restrictive than that of other games, but if you find a solution, I'd be happy to see it. Good work, btw.
solamon77 7 Jun, 2021 @ 11:07pm 
Is there any way to turn off just Pin? Because I can't lose Eternal Edition and I don't want to lose this one either.
solamon77 5 Jun, 2021 @ 2:23am 
My best guess is that it's Eternal Edition causing the conflict. It's the only one that mods Pin in any way.
solamon77 5 Jun, 2021 @ 2:23am

solamon77 2 Jun, 2021 @ 9:32pm 
Okay. I do have a lot of mods installed. I'll see what I can find.
Stack Man  [author] 2 Jun, 2021 @ 8:32pm 
@solamon77 It is compatible with repentance.

@(ㅇㅅㅇ” ) Double check your mods. If any of them change Pin's skin, it will make him invisible.

Pin looks perfectly fine on my end.
solamon77 2 Jun, 2021 @ 6:52pm 
I'll double chick, but I'm playing Repentance. Is this not compatible? I saw that the last updated date was in May and assumed it should work.
Stack Man  [author] 2 Jun, 2021 @ 12:59pm 
@solamon77 Are you playing on afterbirth+ or repentance?

Also make sure you have no other mods that alter Pin's textures.
(ㅇㅅㅇ” ) 2 Jun, 2021 @ 4:07am 
Yep, got the same problem with invisible Pin.
Might have something to do with the other mods I have installed, but I'm too lazy to check, lol.
