why does every one of these mods say "nothing is free" ☹️

@Dosecat69 Sadly no, they both edit charactermenu.png and charactermenualt.png so you'd have to manually copy the item icons onto this mod's spritesheets to make them work together

Is compatible with "Item Icons on Character Select"?

Just pushed an update to the mod polishing some stuff. Let me know if I broke anything!

@kittenchilly Thanks for bringing that to my attention, I think that's actually a result of me being a goofball and changing something I shouldn't have.

I can definitely fix that, and will hopefully put something out for that soon™

Can unlockable starting items like D6 showing up even if you haven't unlocked be fixed? Or is it just something that you can't do anything about due to how the mod works.

Updated to be compatible with the newest Repentance patch. Let me know if I broke anything!

@En OST Sorry, I'm taking a look at that mod currently and I'm not sure if I could fix that. Both of our mods edit the same file is where the issue lies, although I think I can *maybe* employ a crazy workaround someday? I might try and look into it at a later point as currently I've got bigger fish to fry in terms of my mods.

This mod is not compatible with the Hit List mod, it would be nice if that was fixed if possible

@Gold_360 Haha yeah I just went ahead and decided to omit it. I think the blanket statement of "I do not intend on making any more versions of the mod" is a better fit since that hopefully stamps out more questions of "can you make X" version.

With each version I have the harder it is to maintain them all, and it's just a hassle doing it anyways. Plus I don't really like having a bunch of mods just be variations of the same thing. I have no issues with people uploading their own variations though.

you forgot to add "P.S. If any of you ask for a mod that makes this compatible with the "Boner" mod, I'm going to hurt you." in the description

@kittenchilly Yep! Just launched the update. Thanks for letting me know about it

Will you update this with the new portraits for the rep characters and tainted characters?

@S1REN Alrighty! Both the vanilla portraits version of ACS and the Tainted Names + eyeguy's portraits versions are live. Links in description! Lemme know if I messed stuff up

:0
Well now i'm hella excited again lol
And yea I totally understand, I do a lil modding for tboi and terraria and sometimes it can be a bit of a pain in the ass.
Hope it comes out well tho<3<3

@S1REN Oh no, that wasn't directed at you! I'm actually really close to being done with that alternate version of the mod and I'm hoping to have it released tomorrow in fact.

Sorry I've taken so long with it! I'll be honest: it's just a really tedious mod to work on lol

Aw shame, was lookin forward to the tainted names support, but i understand nonetheless.
Keep up the gud work<3

@Gold_360 Sorry, but I draw a line somewhere with mod supports. You can replace The Forgotten's name with "Boner" in charactermenu.png and charactermenualt.png yourself if you really want it to be compatible.

make this compatible with the Boner mod.

@PootisWizard Oh man, looks like you're right. Thanks for bringing it to my attention! This is what happens when I go off of speculation for items. I'll fix that and replace it with something else in a future update

Also to anyone else wondering where the vanilla portraits/tainted names versions of the mod are, I promise they'll be out really soon! Will link to them on this page once they're done.

I've heard that C-Section isn't Tainted Lilith's starting item, will that be removed as her 'starting item' from the menu?

@Nibblemuffin Hm... perhaps it's possible I botched that. Could you send me a friend request so I can verify everything's working as intended?

I just unlocked the Keeper and he doesn't have the same note in the bottom left that all the other characters have, I assume either I need to unlock more of his starting items for that to show up or the file's glitched because I replaced one of the character portraits in the files with one from another mod, either way reporting this just in case that's a bug y'all need to fix

If you wish, you may open this mods texture file in an editing software such as paintnet and copy the names from the alternate tainted names mod into their respective spots, although I'm not sure how well it will work out if the tainted names mod has its own animation.

Just remember that it you want to do this, you need to save the image as 32bit and Blue Baby's name is the top one in a set of question marks on the lower half of the page, not the one by the character names.

@Adero this is a fairly common question so I might as well answer it. Both mods change the same texture, with this mod also adding a different anm2 file. This means that if one of those mods has a higher priority for that texture OR a higher priority for its own anm2 file, the character menu will appear jumbled because the textures and animations aren't matched.

The creator has stated they are looking into making a version of this mod with alternate tainted names, but until then you should disable one of the two mods to avoid potential problems.

Is it compatible with the mods that changes name of tainted characters? Isaac > the broken for example. Asking cuz I have no option to check it currently, but I'm curious.

Ok,that sounds great! ^v^

@cadetpirx Nope! You don't have to enable, or even subscribe to the portraits mod for this one to work. Eye_Sakk's listed as a contributor to this mod so he still gets credit for his wonderful work this way!

is Eyesaak's character portraits a required mod?

tainted samson:"IS THIS WHAT YOU WANTED,ME GOING BANANAS"

Alright cool, i'll let you know how it goes xD

@Datboi_449 Well I'm flattered! Quite honestly, I'm not sure if there's an elegant solution for that, however. I can create some custom notes for your character, but I think the best you might be able to do is add some extra files accompanying the mod that if renamed, will overwrite the default non-ACS files w/ the ACS ones, if that makes sense.

If you can figure out a way to make it work without needing to mess with the mod's files though, I'd love to be proved wrong in this case! I'm all for making this mod as accessible as possible.

Ey yo, I got some character mod's in the making and would love to allow them to be compatible with this mod

please make a version compatible with the drake and josh mod (drakob ad joshau)

@kittenchilly Yeah, I can do that too. I'll try and put it up (as well as another alt version) today. They'll be unlisted mods with links to them on this page to avoid cluttering the workshop.

Will you make one for the Vanilla portraits soon?

:0 Hell yea, cant wait!

@S1REN And yes! I will try and do that soonish

@Samson Dreemurr I... did not know that actually. I'll find a compromise in that case!

Undying Rage should be added back because Tainted Samson can't actually die while enraged.

For Maggy's hearts maybe you could have only the top half of the bars fading? I dunno

Its fine if not ofc, i just think itd be really cool.

Could u make a version with the names from:
Tainted Names by wampXs
Thatd be really cool, those names add alot of character (no pun intended) and ide love to have both mods on at the same time<3

Thanks for the info! I'll work on getting all that fixed. Not too surprised to hear the stuff about the doors, testing that stuff would've been a serious headache so I admittedly got lazy.

And yeah, I'll try and reimplement that missing detail on Maggie. My reason for removing it was it's hard to distinguish from the soul hearts, but I'll probably just make it a *really* faint decrease on opacity.

Might as well drop some other stuff I noticed while digging through the files like a weirdo

What seems to be a unique sprite for T. Maggy's health doesn't appear ingame.
T. Blue Baby, T. Lost, and T. Keeper have their doors missing.
T. Jacob's door has some stray pixels from a character stat note.

@The Trollface Wow, no idea how I didn't notice that! Thanks for pointing it out. Will fix that

Jacob and Esau just use "Jacob" and not their actual name

Eden fucking ascends

@ItsHesus I know it's a bit of a pain, but if I don't require the mod for download then I'm basically just reuploading Eye_Sakk's Character Portraits which is crummy. I'll see if I can add him as a contributor to this mod too so I can feel the need to get rid of that requirement

@FinalDawn I can make an alternate version for it. Will probably make it an unlisted mod and link it on this page so I don't flood the workshop with my one mod lol
