Compatibility Update!!
Glimmers Expanded now has proper compatibility with Chemical Curiosities! Since forever, its glimmers' names and descriptions have been buggy, but they now have their proper tooltips showing.

#

boom

#

enjoy

#

silver oriole I hath fixed the issue

Forth has come the bloating of the already bloated spell pool in my modded run

#

Such based

yipee

dusty grove Jan 3, 2026, 1:49 PM

#

new error, happened with Chaotic Pandorium glimmer

#

Arcane Alchemy glimmers btw

#

in order, these are Chaotic Pandorium, Condensed Gravity, Dark Matter and Static Charge

#

you should change the colour of light component too btw

#

since spark bolt had a noticeable purple tint around it for all the glimmers

silver oriole Jan 3, 2026, 2:33 PM

#

huh

#

why is set_additive broken

dusty grove Jan 3, 2026, 2:34 PM

#

assitive

silver oriole Jan 3, 2026, 2:34 PM

#

that has to do with sprite editing

#

i just woke up

Delete all color from spells

silver oriole Feb 25, 2026, 9:13 PM

#

Bugfix Update!
Both vanilla glimmers and glimmers added from outside mods did not edit certain sprites properly. This has been fixed.

#

@dusty grove I have fixed my mod

dusty grove Feb 25, 2026, 9:18 PM

#

W, the thousand year grudge between CC and GE has finally been broken as the mods set aside their difference and make peace at last

silver oriole Feb 25, 2026, 9:18 PM

yipee

silver oriole Feb 25, 2026, 9:20 PM

dusty grove you should change the colour of light component too btw

hmmmm

dusty grove Mar 16, 2026, 4:15 PM

#

cpand found an error, will investigate at some point

#

i presume this is some error relating to GE at least, maybe also CC

dusty grove Mar 16, 2026, 4:17 PM

#

something is really unhappy

#

i should test spell mods with cpand more often

#

cpand has a real knack for identifying weird edgecases unsurprisingly

silver oriole Mar 16, 2026, 4:19 PM

#

??

warm ruin Mar 16, 2026, 4:19 PM

#

random bullshit go test

silver oriole Mar 16, 2026, 4:19 PM

#

what is area_indicator_064_blue.png?

#

hm

#

hm

#

i wonder if

#

hm

#

i wonder if the function I wrote assumed everything was in data

#

it should, right?

#

isn't that the correct thing to do...?

#

looks like it found a png and not an xml, too

#

i dont recall if such sprites are usually xml's

dusty grove Mar 16, 2026, 4:23 PM

#

sprites on sprite components can be XML or PNG iirc

#

maybe also other image types other than png idk

silver oriole Mar 16, 2026, 4:24 PM

#

I'd have to look at that function

#

If you could isolate the spell that's causing it, that'd be awesome

#

from what I'm seeing, though, this looks like a spell-glimmer combo

dusty grove Mar 16, 2026, 4:25 PM

#

i could maybe attempt an isolation later but cpand is nasty cuz its great at finding an error but terrible at telling you where it is beyond just an error report in logs

silver oriole Mar 16, 2026, 4:26 PM

#

Is there any way for it to tell you the spells it cast?

dusty grove Mar 16, 2026, 4:26 PM

#

logging every spell cast it does is unperformant so i dont usually leave that function on

#

yeah but id need to turn it on in advance is the only thing

#

or catch the exact one that errored when it does- the wands exist for a few frames

silver oriole Mar 16, 2026, 4:26 PM

#

is logging every spell in a single line really that unperformant?

dusty grove Mar 16, 2026, 4:26 PM

#

but generally the errors show up after the spell is fired and sometimes its even in a payload

dusty grove Mar 16, 2026, 4:27 PM

#

silver oriole is logging every spell in a single line really that unperformant?

moreso printing it to logs is unperformant

#

its a print every frame

silver oriole Mar 16, 2026, 4:27 PM

#

Ah

#

hm

#

how are you testing cpand?

#

are you throwing a vial of it or creating a single pixel?

dusty grove Mar 16, 2026, 4:28 PM

#

oh i wasnt testing cpand, im testing noita rtx

#

i spawned cpand cuz it spawns lots of cool colourful bullshit

#

i spawns probably a few vials work, 20x20 square

#

2 vials worth roughly by the looks of it

#

since iirc 1 vial is 200 pixels, and 20x20 is 400 pixels

#

amount doesnt matter a huge amount tho, its moreso just a probability based thing, results may vary

silver oriole Mar 16, 2026, 4:29 PM

#

Ahhhh

#

gotcha gotcha

#

which mods do you have on?

silver oriole Mar 16, 2026, 4:30 PM

#

dusty grove something is *really* unhappy

oh shoot

#

i know exactly what glimmer was used

#

nullium!!

dusty grove Mar 16, 2026, 4:31 PM

#

lmao

dusty grove Mar 16, 2026, 4:31 PM

#

silver oriole which mods do you have on?

only important ones really were conjurer GE and CC, and spell lab maybe could influence smth

silver oriole Mar 16, 2026, 4:31 PM

#

and lava :/

#

hm

silver oriole Mar 16, 2026, 4:32 PM

#

dusty grove only important ones really were conjurer GE and CC, and spell lab maybe could in...

You said noita rtx, what is that?

#

and cpand was on, so obviously cc

dusty grove Mar 16, 2026, 4:32 PM

#

shader test

#

likely not relevant here since its purely shader stuff- oh actually i think it patches some stuff with mats?

#

but i think it only modifies their gfx glow value

silver oriole Mar 16, 2026, 4:37 PM

#

Cool cool

#

I gotta know for spell content purposes

#

I need to identify which spell caused this issue

#

I have a filename and I know that both outside modded and inside modded glimmers break it, so that gives me a starting point

dusty grove Mar 16, 2026, 4:39 PM

#

one thing that can be set up for cpand is force it to use a specific modifier

silver oriole Mar 16, 2026, 5:25 PM

#

you wouldn't happen to have a clip of when the error popped up, would you?

dusty grove Mar 16, 2026, 5:30 PM

#

no unfortunately not

#

it likely wouldnt take long to reproduce

New Update!!!
Glimmers now modify the light projectiles emit! There is also a new mod setting that decides whether Invisible Glimmer invisiblespell turns those lights off (enabled by default). This setting can be toggled mid-run without a mod restart, allowing you to selectively choose which Death Crosses you want to use as ambient lighting for your base (just keep in mind Death Cross's player-homing that gets activated on a mod restart!).

#

Let me know if y'all notice any bugs with this update

#

Notably, if you see any projectiles glowing incorrectly, or glowing when they shouldn't be

silver oriole Apr 6, 2026, 3:58 PM

#

Interesting!! Death Crosses don't naturally light of fog of war, but the Light light spell does, so I'm comparing the effects of Lava and Void glimmers on light

#

#

It feels like the only difference is between the material used in the particle emitters. Lava is very glowy, while Void Liquid is not glowy

silver oriole Apr 6, 2026, 4:31 PM

#

Bugfix Update!
Glimmers now work with the Light light spell, and glimmers no longer disable light in certain spell configurations!

#

please let me know if invis glimmer causes certain sprites to show up. I've made it where invis glimmer shouldn't disable sprites that punch holes in fog of war, but I'm not sure exactly which sprites punch holes in fow that you wouldn't expect to

silver oriole Apr 6, 2026, 6:36 PM

#

Bugfix Update!
Modifiers that add sprites to projectiles (such as light and projectileareateleport ) no longer add bloat data. You should see very minor performance improvements on rainbow glimmer spam wands.

I've also optimized some code, and also provided a band-aid fix for .png sprites. I currently cannot change the color of .png sprites, such as from projectileareateleport or spell_tentacle , so I am simply not going to attempt to until I can figure it out.

Just came here to say thankzz!

#

tenkyu so much for the glimmers expanded :D

#

very useful!

silver oriole Apr 12, 2026, 12:03 PM

#

no problem!!!

dusty grove Apr 12, 2026, 12:41 PM

#

honestly the success of GE really surprised me considering how little attention modding often gets from the other groups in the community (wandbuilding, architecture and the such)
it has made me want to work on music mod more lmao

silver oriole Apr 12, 2026, 12:42 PM

#

dusty grove honestly the success of GE really surprised me considering how little attention ...

I'm certain it's, like, 3 or 4 people, but still

#

Im ASTOUNDED by where people have ran with this mod

dusty grove Apr 12, 2026, 12:43 PM

#

i think its more than 3 or 4 people? i think most pixel art stuff at least uses GE

#

like its not a huge number of people, but def more than 3 or 4 imo

silver oriole Apr 12, 2026, 12:44 PM

#

It's Darmi, Cx, Pandalin, and Slee, lol

#

Obviously they're not the only people

#

But they're giving it the most attention

dusty grove Apr 12, 2026, 12:45 PM

#

i see

#

it def is cool to see

silver oriole Apr 12, 2026, 12:46 PM

#

ikr??

dusty grove Apr 12, 2026, 12:46 PM

#

its a shame modded doesnt get that much attention, specifically thinking of twitch, there's maybe apotheosis runs here and there, and obviously plenty of TI, but rarely much else, qol mods, tweak mods and other content mods are decently rare i think

#

ik its been like this for a while but i do hope it changes as the years go on

#

GE is def one of the mods i recommend for people to throw on, its fairly lightweight and adds more simple not-balance-affecting colourful spells to the game

silver oriole Apr 12, 2026, 12:49 PM

#

After making Notes Expanded, I'm now really appreciative of how I kept the balance of glimmers active in normal runs

#

Notes Expanded was not a mod meant for a real playthrough, as much as I wanted it to be

#

GE was coded in such a way that it doesn't saturate the spell pool + is practical to use in regular runs
