Reworked Tainted Lazarus

Description
Tainted Lazarus was updated to have a feature similar to this one where items have mirror items that can be acquired using Flip, so this mod is currently obsolete.

(If you are looking for the mod that adds items to the other Lazarus from the other item's pool automatically, it can be found here. Try both out and see which you prefer!)

This is a rough implementation of a proposed rework of Tainted Lazarus. The effect is the following:

When you play as Tainted Lazarus, all pedestal items will have a mirror item from the room's pool above them. If you use Flip, you can swap the two items around. If you take the pedestal item, the mirror item will not disappear, but you must use Flip to bring it on the pedestal and take it with the other Lazarus.

The mod has Mod Config Menu support and is very configurable, with many features being mostly locked behind it:
  • Curse of the Blind behavior: You can enable/disable ghost items being hidden by Curse of the Blind.
  • Flip recharge on item pickup: You can make Flip recharge when you pick an item up.
  • Flip max charges: You can make Flip fully charge in any amount of charges from 1 to 6 - note that this will NOT visually modify the chargebar, but it will automatically jump from the configured max charge to 6.
  • Flip on item pickup: You can automatically use Flip (without depleting charges) when you pick an item up.
  • Chaos mode: You can choose to flip automatically from every 1 second to every 30 seconds.
  • Flip behavior: Each kind of flip (normal (from room clear or item use), on item pickup, from chaos) can be configured to either flip all pedestals, only flip pedestals where the non-mirror item is empty, or only flip Lazarus. Each kind of flip can also be configured to cancel its animation.

Don't know what the ghost items do? There's also External Item Descriptions support for the ghost items!

Tips:
  • If you take an item and don't Flip before exiting the room, the mirror items are lost!
  • Story items and Key Pieces do not have mirror items generated for them.
  • If an item costs hearts or coins and you Flip to swap it with the mirror item, the mirror item will also not be free.
  • If you buy the item before flipping, however, the mirror item will be free.
  • You can use machines/beggars/reverse fool in certain kinds of rooms to give your counterpart items from that room's pool.

This mod has been tested and confirmed to work in singleplayer. It should work in co-op, but I have not throughoutly tested it there so if there are issues feel free to notify me.

KNOWN BUGS:
  • If you enable the setting, you can swap between two active items on a pedestal to endlessly recharge Flip.
  • While partially intended, Car Battery can seriously break the item swap mechanic.
  • Rerolling an item without a mirror counterpart will generate another mirror counterpart.

Hey, i remade old tainted lazarus and gave him compatibility with this mod, but i had to edit a bit the main file of this, Do you want to update the mod with my files or it's ok if i reupload it?

Chaos Mode is SO fun. Wish there was a mod to constantly enable Chaos Mod Laz.

please bring this back, even just for the charge-on-pickup and charge change mechanics

i agree with the sentiments shared by the last two people, the fact that flip doesnt affect newly spawned pedestals SUCKS

this mod is literally better then the official rework lol you did a better job than the devs did at making this character playable the ghost item looks better and i can actually tell what it is

The game's "official" mechanic for this only seems to apply to pedestals that were there when the room was first entered, and therefore the mechanic doesn't activate in boss rooms or when shops are restocked.

Maybe you could change this mod to simply "fix" that, rather than essentially obsoleting the mod?

Is there any way to put an option that allows to remove the mirror items that this mod puts? I love the options of this mod to customize tainted lazarus and I would like to be able to use them, with an option to activate or deactivate the mirror ghost item that appears by the mod (since there is already the one that they have put in the game) it would be fixed!
Is there any possibility to do this? Thank you very much for all your work! I love this mod!

Now that the mod's been added to the game, do you have any plans to release a separate Flip mod? I love having a 2 charge Flip and I'd rather not go back to 6 charges

Currently it does not work with the rework in the update (not even sure how they interact in some cases), but I could try updating the ghost item in vanilla to look like the one in the mod.

I will probably try repurposing the elements of this mod that are not yet ingame (like the ability to do flips without the animation).

I'm super excited that the added rework is similar to the mod in some aspects, it means more people get to experience the whole item flipping mechanic.
