Interactions:
– External Item Descriptions: Encyclopedia heavily relies on this mod to autogenerate modded items’ descriptions, it is therefore recommended to combine the two when playing.
Notes:
– While modded items get autogenerated into the Encyclopedia, it is still recommended to manually add support if you want to display your item's item pools, or more thorough descriptions than what EID allows (due to the limited screen space).
– If the autogeneration setting is on, you might experience a slight lag spike the first time you open a submenu.
– All the Wiki entries in this mod were autogenerated using a python script, so there might be a couple of broken entries, make sure to report them if you see them. And reviewed by hand!
– The Status menu doesn’t display items in order of collection, because that would be literal hell on Earth to implement
– It is also recommended to manually add your own characters, it’s really easy and doesn’t take much time (considerably less time than items, that’s for sure!). Otherwise, you run the risk of the character autogeneration not properly getting your character’s sprite or data.
IMPORTANT:
If the menu cannot be opened with the safe key [F1] or some wiki entries are missing, you probably got a download failure. The mod is pretty big and thus needs some time to properly copy over files when you launch it for the first time or during an update.
To fix it, follow these steps:
1. Unsubscribe from the mod.
2. Go here C:Users\user\Documents\My Games\Binding of Isaac Afterbirth+ Mods and delete the folder called Encyclopedia_2376005362.
—- 2 (REP): Go here C:Program Files (x86)Steam\steamapps\common\The Binding of Isaac Rebirth\mods and delete the folder called Encyclopedia_2376005362.
3. Go here C:Program Files (x86)Steamsteamappsworkshopcontent250900 and delete the folder called 2376005362.
4. Launch your game, and once the start screen loads, close it.
5. Resubscribe to the mod again.
6. Launch the game and DO NOT close it until the start screen loads.
Mods copy over files during the black screen when the game is launched, while it may look like the game froze or crashed, you need to wait until it loads properly, otherwise you will interrupt the process and get a download failure.
Localization
Sadly, there will be no localization for the Encyclopedia, as that would require maintaining all the wiki descriptions in other languages (which would most than likely need to be translated by hand). Not only that, but it would increase the weight of the mod by A TON which is unviable, but the biggest factor is that Dead Sea Scrolls (the menu library) does not support special characters like the ones used in other languages.
I hope you understand.
