Yet Another Spelunky Mod 1.6 (Inventory mod)

[Moloch]

Yet Another Spelunky Mod (YASM) v1.6

Some of the features include:
- Inventory system. Put away items for later use.
- You can sell your unwanted items and worn equipment to shopkeepers.
- You don't drop items when doing a flip hang.
- When wearing spring shoes, you can fall 50% longer before taking damage.
- You can increase the amount of traps or enemies generated in levels.
- Support for playing custom levels made with Editor Plus.
- Magic Signs 2.1.1
- Customize length of time before ghost appears.
- You can hold UP to fire the bow upwards.
- Fixes for many v1.1 bugs.



Most of the features can be turned on/off or otherwise adjusted to your taste by editing the included settings file.





Detailed instructions for using the inventory and selling items are in the readme file, but here is a quick rundown:
- Press SWITCH while holding DOWN to place your currently held item into your inventory.
- Press SWITCH any other time to cycle through all your items.
- In the pause screen, move the selection box over an item and press ATTACK to take it out. Press ATTACK on a piece of worn equipment to un-equip/re-equip it.
- Press PURCHASE to try to sell your currently held item to a shopkeeper. If he makes an offer, press PURCHASE again to accept.
- Remove a piece of worn equipment by pressing PURCHASE on it from the pause screen. You can then sell it like any other item.
- Shopkeepers have a limited amount of money. If a shopkeeper can't afford to buy your goods, consider purchasing something from his shop so he has more to spend.


Some more screenshots:
- These are with enemy and trap multipliers set to maximum: Mines, Lush, Temple.
- New enemies. (Several imported from Spelunky X. Only encountered in Bizarre Mode or custom levels.)
- Custom shops.
- Bizarre mode.

Fucking NICE!!

I didn't know imperial measurements could be converted to the (clearly superior and sense-making) metric measurements! Was it already built in or did you add the option yourself? Either way, good job!

I like the inventory option! Even though it does slow the flow of the game down a bit, and perhaps some way needs to be worked into it so the menu does not pop up all the time and so there's a quick way to browse through your items without opening an immersion-ruining menu, it still adds a very nice mechanic to the game and most certainly makes it easier to play!

Otherwise, the menu is nicely balanced so one can't carry heavy, non-items items (LOL?) like damsels and what-not.

My only complaint, except what mentioned above is how there's no option to make the window a bit bigger or make the game fullscreen! That option would much improve this near-excellent modification!

Finally, we need a more creative title for this mod. How about 'Inventory mod' (meh), 'Equip mod' (errm), or perhaps 'Wield mod' (cool!)?

THIS. MOD. ROCKS.

Suggestions: ability to sell items to shopkeepers?

Otherwise this mod is very cool. Adds an interesting new level of strategy, though it does make things a bit easier. Perhaps some new challenges need to be invented in order to balance this out?

Bug:  Equipping an item and then switching your item equipped to anything else makes you lost that item.

Also, you should go to this thread: http://mossmouth.com/forums/index.php?topic=1246.0 and provide this bit of programming to this project, I'm sure they'll go for it.

The metric conversion wasn't built in, but was very simple to add. I also acknowledge the metric system's superiority..

I see your point about immersion-breaking. An alternative could be just to have the  switch key cycle thru all your items without pausing the game, or something like the way you cycle thru items in the Rune Factory games on the DS.

Selling held items shouldn't be much a problem, i'm not sure how selling worn items would work yet.

I'll check it out. That sounds like a big deal!  
EDIT: The download link has been updated with a fix for this.

I can only say one thing about this mod...
EPIC.

[kinnik]

very nice work!  Did you use globals or an array/list?  I was about to get started on this for my mod, using a list array...  Will you post the code for me to look over and use in my work?  I'll put credits ect..

[Moloch]

Small update for those that wanted a way to increase the difficulty of the game to balance out the advantage of having an inventory. You now have the option of increasing the amount of enemies or traps generated in levels in the settings file.

New download link in first post.

Wow this is cool. thanks a lot!

[Delver]

First of wonderful mod.

Second, you can put items you haven't purchased into you backpack/inventory without angering the shopkeeper. Guess out of sight out of mind is true after all.

Edit:
But only when entering you backpack and set held item to nothing, down inventory "works" perfectly

Thanks for the comments and bug-finding, guys. The shopkeeper should now be aware of all shoplifting techniques!   The download link has been updated.

Is it just me, or does this break the Moai+Ankh behavior? I stood on top of the Moai and bombed myself... it opened but I stayed dead.

After some testing, I see that this happens in the original game too. In the instant you were revived inside the Moai, the explosion from the bomb you left on top of it was wide enough to penetrate the top of the Moai and kill you again. The Moai itself is indestructible, but it doesn't protect you from explosions on the other side of it.  Also, when your character is blinking for a second or two after being hit/revived, you are invulnerable to enemies, but not explosions. I've fixed it so this can't happen for the next release. Thanks for finding it.

Also, the current version is already fixed so you don't have to worry about being close the Moai when trying to get inside it.  You can die anywhere in the level and you will still be revived inside the Moai.. so if you like you can recklessly explore and not worry if you die and the Moai is far off-screen.

[ManaUser]

I see. I guess that kind of make sense. In the regular game I normally use ESC&F1 since bombing yourself or anything similar makes you lose your carried item, but obviously this isn't a problem in YASM, so that explains why I never noticed it before.

Thanks for investigating it in any case. Now I can go back to playing without fearing my efforts will be for naught.

P.S. While I'm at it, I might as well mention another very minor bug. When you drop off the Damsel at the exit, her icon stay in the top left until you pick up something else or leave the level.
