Full changelog:
--2.4--
Major code changes:
- HUD is now in ZScript instead of SBARINFO
- In simple terms, making new content that works with the HUD is 10x easier now
- Game Level is now shown in HUD
- Level time is now shown in HUD
- No more Sidegrade or Durability tokens, instead the necessary info is included in the weapon itself
- Making new sidegrades or durability weapons is significantly easier now
Added boss spawn progression
- Bosses are split up into 4 tiers:
- Low tier (zombies, imps, demons, spectres, maybe lost souls?)
- Mid tier (hell knights, cacodemons, mancubi, arachnotrons)
- High tier (barons, pain elementals, archviles)
- Super tier (cyberdemons, masterminds)
- Low tiers will spawn normally through Game Level progression
- Mid tiers require 3 low tiers to be killed before one can spawn
- High tiers require 3 mid tiers to be killed
- Super tiers require 3 high tiers to be killed
Added Death Exit Behavior
- By default, death exits will be balanced:
- Lose all weapons except for Durability and slot 8 weapons
- Durability weapons will be broken
- Sidegrades are kept, and will transfer to new weapons
- Ammo is removed except for 50 bullets
- All inventory items are kept
- Can choose between three options: Balanced, "Keep Everything", and default
- "Keep Everything" will only reset your health to 100, all other items and weapons are kept
- "Default" acts like the vanilla Death Exit behavior, where everything is reset
- This option is not balanced around Pandemonia's progression, as Game Level is not reset
Added Pistol Start Behavior
- Allows you to choose whether or not each map should be a forced pistol start
- Like with death exits, there is a Balanced option and a Default option
Added Autosave Spawn Rerolling
- By default, loading an autosave after a Death Exit or Pistol Start will reroll all enemy spawns on the map
- There is also an option to reroll *every* autosave, even without a death exit or pistol start
Added Hell Prince Asch, hell knight boss (mid tier)
Added the Abyssal Savage, imp boss (low tier)
Added the Cyber Imp, imp class
Added the Brimstone Imp, imp class
Added the Scourge Zombie, chaingunner class
Added the Scourge Rifle, slot 6 weapon
Added Convergence, slot 8 weapon (dropped by Myrkura)
Added Game Level settings
Overhauled Myrkura
- New effects
- New attacks
- Will gain the powers of any runes you have active
- With 2 runes active, it will drop Convergence
Changed progression-based spawners
- Somehow, I forgot a check that determines whether or not enemies should be "skipped" in the list
- To cut technical talk short, spawners should feel a slight bit more varied depending on your game level

- Deals more splash damage, but less direct damage
- Less chance to stunlock enemies
