How are you supposed to pet cerberus?

It's the same button for summonning a companion.  So that's LT by default on a controller and 1 by default on a keyboard.

Hi all,

A mod update!

I had some ideas based upon my runs over the last 24 hours, so I coded a few new things which I hope others find useful as well.  Details below:

  • The doors, rewards, and shop menus will now display your health and obols count at the top, above the selectable items in their respective menus. Note the shop menu always displayed obols, but now all three menus display both health and obols. I got tired of constantly having to dismiss the doors and rewards menus to pull up the resources menu to check health/obols when deciding whether to open a trove or pick a door through which there is an elite fight or a centaur heart or whether I need to buy food in the shop, etc.  Now the info is always right there in all three menus.

  • Doors that lead to rooms with boss or mini-boss fights will now state "Boss" or "Mini-Boss" instead of the generic term "Elite".  Elite rooms that are not boss or mini-boss rooms will continue to be indicated by the word "Elite". I discovered yesterday that there are in fact visual indicators to make this distinction, so I figured the mods should do the same for blind players.

  • The resources menu will now display your equipped weapon, its current aspect, and the level of the aspect. This can be handy if you have to leave in the middle of a run and come back hours or days later, as it is easy to forget which weapon you had equipped.  Determining the weapon was always easy simply by hitting the attack button, but remembering which aspect you were using, as well as what level that aspect was at, was much more difficult.    Now it's shown in the resource menu.

  • The sacks of obols that sometimes spawn in Charon's shops have been moved from the shop menu to the rewards menu, given they are not purchasable items. They simply make a lot more sense to be shown in the rewards menu.  This will also have the added bonus effect of causeing a ding sound upon entering a shop if a sack is present, making their appearance more prominent.

As a reminder, the latest version of the mods can always be downloaded from the new website (under construction but operational).

That's all for now; enjoy!

I wish soem of tehse options could be disabled. I am afraid the screen will get too crowded soon and the OCr operation will be hard

quick question, to update the mods, do you have to run the .pi script again, or just copy the folder?

2021-08-07 14:44:12

questions, 1, when i get  into house, how can i get to the next run? i can not find how to escape out.
2, if you will update the mod, how to update it if i get a new one?

2021-08-07 15:47:30

Any tips for meg? She's owning me really hard. Spear is my current favorite though, and the bow is the least favorite. Bow takes ages to reload and if something's charging at me i need to rapid deal damage or dash away.

You should always run the python script with each new mod update.  Some updates require it and some do not; it depends on the nature of the update.  As a result, it's always a good idea to run it, as it only takes 5 seconds and guarantees the update will be applied.

You have to walk from the main part of the house into Zagreus's bedroom, then through the bedroom into a courtyard where the escape window is located.  I recommend you watch the video I posted in post #1 in this thread; it will give you a solid overview of the game and answer the question above.  The description of the video shows all the chapters, so you can skip to the part of the video that is relevant to you, although I strongly recommend all new players watch all of it.  The tour of the house begins about 1 hour and 18 minutes into the video.

Note that the video was recorded using version 16 of the mods, and I just released version 28 today, so there are some new features not discussed in the video; details are in the changelog.

2, if you will update the mod, how to update it if i get a new one?

Follow the identical instructions to installing the mods.  Updating is the same process.

2021-08-08 01:59:56

i'm guessing the video will show how to play the game so that is fine, but what about tts support for menus, that feels needed at some point with this just adding more and more info

@34: TTS for menus is complicated for Hades for various reasons.  Others have attempted it and have been only partially successful, and it never hit mainstream.

I personally find it as a potentially nice feature, but the game is 100% playable with OCR with very little inconvenience, and I see no benefit in spending weeks and months trying to get TTS functionality working when what we have a perfectly accessible solution already.  All the menus are easily navigated with OCR.

Just so everyone understands my personal motivations, I did not decide to take on this project because I wanted to make Hades accessible in the absolute ideal way to the masses.  I did it because I wanted to improve my own gameplay experience, and I am fortunate to be able to share what I am doing with everyone, in the hopes they too can enjoy the game as I do.

Hi all,

A mod update!

A relatively minor update.  Just a couple of bug fixes to account for rare circumstances.  Details are below:

  • Fixed a very rare bug where Cerberus would show up as a valid NPC in the rewards menu when he was not in the house.

  • Enshrouded doors that are infernal gates will now be indicated as such, rather than simply stating elite.

oh i new about the tts being optinal, and if people havent gotten it working then thats fine, but has any kind of working tts mods been relesed

If TTS, or at the very least clipboard output, could be done, that would be amazing. Yes, the game can be played with OCR, but it does get tiresome... also, for some of us who are probably not as smart *cough* me *cough* some of the menus, like the broker, are a little hard to understand when reading them with OCR. Just my opinion though, and maybe I'm just missing a very obvious trick. Pity that noone has gotten tts to work, even more of a pity supergiant doesn't seem to want to consider adding it.

2021-08-08 08:09:26

Yeah, that's true. Playing without TTS is possible but TTS could add a lot to the gameplay. Broker is just one example as there are more places you will not understand fully just by using OCR (housecontractor for example).

So, I just hope someone will work on that as there's some stuff that could help but in the same time the game is just amazing and playing without TTS support is really, definitely possible. smile

I made this sighted guide video for BlindPress and a challenge I'm getting her and Rattlehead to do (if he wants to. If he doesn't, then I guess she'll be getting paid for it eventually.)

Hope it helps. I stumble with directions. Sorry about that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3384LJqrPuo

You know how annoying is the feeling when you beat meg? Zip through asphodel without ever losing any health, don't ask me how i did it, then the hydra owns you like hell? Sigh

#41 I've got you one better. That run last night when I made the video? I ended up losing all my lives, getting them back at the last minute, and losing the final fight down to the wire. The last boss only had a sliver of health left on his final health bar.

Fuck!

That sucks. smile Though that was the first when i fought the hydra so yeah. Getting athena's divine dash could have helped, reflecting those volleys back could have done the job perhaps.

Btw, the enshrouded door chaos curse seems to make the mod freeze for a bit, is that normal? Or am i just unlucky? I keep awoiding chaos stuff because of this, don't like abandoning a run in the middle because me choosing enshrouded doors.

2021-08-09 15:25:51 (edited by hllf 2021-08-09 15:33:45)

@45: Choosing enshrouded makes what mod freeze when? That should not be happening, and I have used enshrouded twice the last few days and have not noticed anything abnormal. Please be very specific as to what you think you are experiencing and how to reproduce it, so I can check if there is anything unusual going on.

Also, I'm very confused by your comment that you have been avoiding Chaos entirely because even if you think you are experiencing something odd with the enshrouded curse, you don't have to choose it, so why would you be avoiding chaos?  And why would you be abandoning runs as a result?

2021-08-09 20:28:54

Nevermind, probably it was my pc playing a prank on me, i tested it and it works fine.

Assuming you're on controller, you just walk up to the person and press the right trigger.
