EID Community Collab

This mod allows people to create and share game info to use with the External Item Descriptions mod for mods that don't have their own info set up, without having to wait for the mod to be updated or for mod makers to add EID text to their mods.
(REQUIRES EXTERNAL ITEM DESCRIPTIONS)

Each person can have their own personal list of mod info, you can pick and choose what info you have based on the mods you use.

It works by loading item info based on a file on your computer, specifically the 'save1.dat' file in the zzeidcommunity folder. (found in my documents/mygames/afterbirth mods OR IF REPENTANCE Steam\steamapps\common\The Binding of Isaac Rebirth\data)

To add an item you can open the save1.dat file and edit the code, or just paste in code that others have written and shared. (make sure you spell item names correctly or it won't work)
If there's no save file just run the game and the mod should create an empty one.

If you updated the file while the game is open you can open the console (~) and use 'EIDRefreshList' to refresh the descriptions.

You can share the item descriptions you've made by opening your save1.dat file and copying relevant code and pasting in the discussions.

Save data is formatted like so:
~MOD1
@I:ITEM NAME:ITEM#DESCRIPTION:
@T:TRINKET NAME:TRINKET#DESCRIPTION:
@C:CARDNAME:CARD#DESCRIPTION:

~MOD2
@P:PILL NAME:PILL#DESCRIPTION:
@F:ITEM1:TRANSFORMATION DESCRIPTION:
@F:ITEM2:TRANSFORMATION DESCRIPTION:
@F:ITEM3:TRANSFORMATION DESCRIPTION:
@F:ITEM4:TRANSFORMATION DESCRIPTION:

(# is used for new lines but doesn't work for transformations, don't use : or @ in your text inputs as that will break the parser, make sure you use the correct letters, aka I for item, C for card etc, with transformations you need a line for each item that helps trigger it)


To ensure compatibility with 'Mod Compatibility Hack' you must update the hacks code, just open "documents/my games/binding of isaac mods/modcompatibilityhack/main.lua" go to the line that says "local loadDataOld = " and remove the "local".

If you are having the file automatically wipe itself or not picking up recent updates and you have edited 'Mod Compatibility Hack' to be compatible, check if you have any other mods that do stuff with save files and try updating the settings with that mod disabled.
