does anyone know if the Save Extractor is still working? I used it to generate the save1.dat file and put it in the data folder and yet it still shows item's I've already picked up as not taken yet.

playing on the latest Rep+ patch

@huddy repentogon

@spooky how do i get that to work on EID

@Spooky, yeah, but it needs a save extractor or repentogon.
This mod works in itself, and also supports modded items.

external item descriptions already does this :(

Any plans to update to Repentance+, or are you waiting until it's out of beta?

Oh really? Perfect! Didn't seem to work though. I assume Repentogon isn't updated with all the latest patches coming out :P

If you have repentogon installed, you do not need to do anything special

Repentogon (among other things) allow mods to directly access your save file

What exactly am I supposed to do with Repentogon that will help me sync DeadGod Helper with my save file???

Thanks for the answer

Only visual, it doesn't touch the item generation

Is this a purely visual mod that shows an exclamation mark over items that have never been picked up before, or does it help find them by actually putting them in the game?

Rep+?

thx

I was just trying to figure out how to code this. Glad you beat me to it. Having this mod has been a "dead"god send

Still draws exclamation mark over a hidden second treasure room item on the alternate floors when set to not display it on blind items. Potentially can have the same issue with Broken Glasses trinket on normal floors, I have not tested this scenario.

thanks for making this mod people like you are truly a blessing

guys why doesnt it work for me? i have repentance

@Derkan's steps below worked for me. Thank you for the explanation as well as @Ayte for making the mod. I was hoping to find something like this.

Does this mod hide modded items in the item collection in the main menu before picking one up?

If I recall correctly, the way the mod is drawing the exclamation mark relies on a repentance feature, so that may not work properly

@supreme gentlemann the save extractor is not compatible with AB+. As for the mod itself, I haven't tested

does it works with ab+?

how do i use the save extractor? what do I do with it? how do I get this working?

is it good for the first dead god file

Haven't found the detailled explanation on how to make the mode retroactive by updating the save so here is how I did (on windows) :
1 - Install Python :
Go to https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3123/ and download "Windows installer (64-bit)" (presumably) then follow the instructions
2 - Download the save extractor provided by the author :
Go to https://forge.chapril.org/ayte/DeadGodHelper/src/branch/main/SaveExtractor/saveextractor.py , there's a download button in the top right corner of the script.
3 - Recover your steam account ID :
On the seam desktop application, click on your nickname in the RIGHT top corner and click "Account details". Your account ID will be the number below your account name

4 - Locate your steam save folder :
Its location should look like : C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\YOURACCOUNTIDHERE\250900\remote
Put the saveextractor.py file in this directory
5 - adapt the script :
Right click the saveextractor.py file
click Edit with idle
Replace the first line of the script by
#!/usr/bin/env python
Save and close the file (re-open it to check i thas correctly saved, it didn't for me the first time)

6 - run the script :
In your file explorer window, click on the current directory path to edit it.
Type cmd
This will open a command box
Enter the following command :
saveextractor.py rep_persistentgamedata1.dat 1
If you are not doing this for your first save of Isaac, change the 2 "1" accordingly
This will create 2 files in the directory of the script
eid_savegames.lua
save1.dat
7 - Locate your Isaac folder :
On steam, open your library, right click Isaac, click Manage thenk "Browse local files"
8 - Move the lua file :
From the isaac folder, open mods, then open the directory of the mod external item description
place the eid_savegames.lua file in that directory
9 - Replace the save file
From the isaac folder, open data, then open the deadgod helper directory
replace the save1.dat file with the one generated by the script
10 - Start the game and pray

I installed it but every single item has the mark over it. What whould I do?

seems it was saving in the system 32. thanks for your help tho

Can you give me more details on the way you tried to launch it ? If it was trough an IDE maybe they were generated in another directory

yea but thats the thing, it didnt

If it didn't print anything, that means it ran successfully, it created files in the directory you were when launching the script.

tried using the extractor to sync the mod up with my file, but when i run the command it seems to go through but none of the files are created. just recently reset my pc so not sure if theres anything else id need for it

you've solved the only problem your mod had, which was the fact it marked everything as new (since data and stuff). 10/10 mod good job

@HaVeNII7 If you have repentogon installed my mod can directly access the save file, so for vanilla items there's no need to copy your save ^^

Ayyyyy a while back I had asked if I needed to copy my save between devices if I wanted this mod to stay accurate, since I often play on my laptop or desktop separately. I'd been doing so for a while. Looks like with the update I don't need to do that anymore? If so, that's amazing.

And it's done, thanks to repentogon, you don't even need to run the extractor now :)

@Guantol
I just recently heard about Repentogon this very morning, and I was wondering if there was something like that available. Thanks for the suggestion I will look into it :)

Can you update the mod so that users that have REPENTOGON installed have more accurate results by using PersistentGameData.IsItemInCollection(CollectibleId)?

@Traktori Hi, this is intended if you didn't use the save extractor. The mod will still track the items you collect while installed.

I installed this for the first time and every item (even the one's that i've already found) has the ! over them. Pls fix

After returning the game to vanilla with mods, the mod stopped showing the ! , it helps me a lot when I'm rerolling but I don't see them anymore

@AManCalledGavin okay thanks for your feedback, I will try to fix it soon.

I was playing the game, exited it because i had to go do something, re-enter the game and suddenly all the items i found have the !, it's not something that affects me but maybe you should check that out

@VictoRowBot If you're talking about the game's save file, you need python installed, and my saveextractor.py file (that can be found here: https://forge.chapril.org/ayte/DeadGodHelper/src/branch/main/SaveExtractor) . There's also an example on how to use it.

I unfortunatly can't write/speak Brazilian, so I can't really explain it much better.
However, this mod still works without extracting the game's save file, so depending on your use case it might not be that big of a deal.

Also thanks @HaVeNII7 for your reply :)

@VictoRowBot Hey! If you're still needing help with this, just do the following

1. On your steam library, right click on Isaac and choose Manage -> Browse Local Files
2. Go into the "data" folder
3. Go into the "deadgod helper" folder
4. There will be up to three saves of the mod, one for each save file in game. So like, if you just see "save1.dat" that means you've got one save from the mod, and it's tied to your first save file in Isaac

Hope that helps. :)

how i can extract the save file
i'm kinda confused about this bc i'm not good at english, and i'm brazilian ;-;

@ayte thank you for the reply! I don't think that Steam syncs mod settings, unfortunately. It syncs which mods you're subscribed to, and auto downloads them, but not the settings. For example, when using EID I had to manually adjust the settings on both devices. It's why I copied my settings over with a USB, so i wouldn't have to configure everything twice.

I'll be sure to copy between the save from this mod to my laptop from my desktop then, since I play on the desktop a good bit more often. Thanks again ^^

@ayte That's what I wanted to do, just delete the save file. Thank you!
