great mod after playing it the game kept crashing

how do i play?

-->

oh shit, finally bloons TD in the Binding Of Isaac

🔥

I'm mid

how good are you at tf2 i see your playing it

That being said, so as to not end this on a sour note, this is the last version I'll release for the mod besides minor fixes (and maybe an alternate map or two once I get around to it). Thanks for the feedback, and enjoy the mostly-finished product! See you in the next crazy mod I decide to make (and trust me, I have a whole notepad of stupid things to try, so this will not be the last crazy things I make)

Alright, upon further examination, I'm putting the Chinese translation on hiatus, and I think I'm done working on this mod in general.

For starters, I am REALLY burned out on this project, and it stopped being fun to work on after roughly Day 3, and I'm on roughly Day 20. I pushed through enough to make what I would consider a finished product, but I'm fine with moving on from here.

The other major problem is that Chinese translation SUCKS when it comes to Isaac modding, since you basically can't use the API's DrawString functions whatsoever, and you have to convert everything to images.

I was able to do this with the Typing mod since all the words were in the same format, but it would take SO long to manually process each set of string individually so that they all fit in their respective cases, so I'm putting that aspect of the project on an indefinite hold until I can find a better solution (or until Nicalis/Team Repentance adds a UTF-8 compatible font. A man can dream, right?)

So what's next? Well, I want to touch up the visuals on a certain set of enemies (right now they literally just use the default sprites), then add a pause menu with a language select to fulfill a promise I made in the comments below, and then that will probably be all I add for this mod, since I'm a little burned out on tower defense, to be completely honest. This has been a lot of fun, though! Much, MUCH more work than I was expecting at the outset, but fun nonetheless.

-- PATCH NOTES (9/14/24) --

- Overhauled the wave system. The game now uses a pre-generated set of waves, similarly to Bloons Tower Defense.

- Fiddled with the stats of various enemy types to make them more/less threatening.

- Envy towers no longer scale with the damage of adjacent towers.

- Lust towers now buff other towers within their default radius, rather than their current radius (indicated by a pink circle)

- Added 11 new enemy types with varying degrees of power.

- Reduced the benefit of range upgrades across the board.

- Reduced the wait between waves, but waves now only advance automatically once all enemies have died (so in effect, this actually INCREASES the time between waves)

-- PATCH NOTES (9/10/24) --

- Added THIRTY-SIX new tower types, accessed by buying the last upgrade in the bottom column.

- Reworked Armor to negate all damage a percentage of the time (will be reworked later to be less obnoxious once I rework the wave system, but it helps with the difficulty for now)

- The game now actually shows you the level of your mana pool.

- Added a "skip wave" button to the top-left menu.

- The game now supports up to x10 speed! (up from x5)

- Refactored the code so that it's easier to add new things or link together pre-existing effects.

- Various bug fixes and improvements when issues came up during testing!

- I should have written down a changelog as I was going, but I didn't, and I think that's everything major that I changed ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nah, it’s just for fun. I mainly made it a challenge so that I could put it somewhere where it wouldn’t affect regular runs

Does the challenge unlock something or is it just for fun?

nevermind i had just rebooted my game after enabling rgon and it showed up.

there is a file in my mods folder called "tboi td" but the challenge still doesnt show up in the custom challenges. i had checked with and without rgon.

But to answer your question, it's in the modded section of Challenges. Hit TAB on the Challenges menu and it should come up.

People, there is a description for this mod. PLEASE actually read it before asking questions.

how to turn on that? how to turn on tower defence mode?

Very weird. I just reuploaded the mod, so hopefully that fixes the issue. Out of curiosity, though, is there even a folder named "binding of isaac td" in your mods folder? Maybe it didn't download or something.

The mod...Doesn't even show up in my mod list? Nor in challenges. Disabled everything, uninstalled repentagon. Made sure I had it subscribed to but just doesn't show up. Weird.

Huh, weird. It was made for normal Repentance but it should work for Repentogon as well

Maybe try it with Repentogon turned off and see if that fixes the issue?

seems like a very good mod but for some reason it wont show up in the custom challenges. is it normal repentance or repentagon?

I'll put it on my to-do list for sure! I want to make sure that all the text is there in English first before I add other languages (plus I kinda want to add a pause menu so I have a place to put the language select).

The thing about Chinese text is that it's not natively supported by any of the fonts in the API, so if I want to add it, I'll have to generate the text semi-manually, like I did for the typing mod. I have a Java program that'll remove a lot of the busy work, but like I said, I'll probably hold off on starting that process until I have all of the English text that I need to translate over.

add chinese please!!!

You can't. Official modding support wasn't added until Afterbirth+, unfortunately, so anything Lua-related is off the table for Rebirth and Afterbirth mods.

If you want Rebirth mods, your best bet is to go here: https://moddingofisaac.com/

how do i install this mod on Tboi:rebirth?

God I love Lua
It's so malleable that you can do basically anything in it once you lay the groundwork

The physical manifestation of "Isaac's modding api is my game engine of choice".

i bring a sort of full grid of towers to the map that the enemies don't really like

this is insane , good job man

Wait never mind I found the issue lol

The map was rendering in the normal game when it shouldn't have

For future reference, you play it by going into the custom challenges, and there should be one called "The Binding of Isaac TD"

That sounds like something broke in the mod. Is it printing anything to the console?

how do i play this, i launch the game and get into a run on my main account, all that appears is a trail with 2 cacti on it i can move around as isaac and play as him just not interact with the mod itself (ive tried with no mods aside from this one)

isaac.

I love how many different towers there are :) cool!!

This dude's like the DougDoug of Isaac modding.
Each and every new entry is some wacky bullshit idea fully realized and fleshed out.
Fuckin love it.

this is incredible

Pinned posts coming soon! The game documentation might take a little bit longer (you can probably guess why ), but I'll try to get that done as soon as I can!
