==General
-ACS scripts updated to v5a???
--Giant mess of ACS scripts cleaned up to a single edited GLOBAL/WEPACS (Sorry Jax. ~Celebi)

=A large amount of projectiles have lost DONTBLAST (flung by RollSwing and old LeafShield)
=Several projectiles gained DONTREFLECT so certain shenanigans don't happen with JewelSatellite.

-Homing changes removed due to vanilla changing to A_SeekerMissile

-MirrorBuster, +THRUGHOST > +THRUSPECIES

=Armor values have been removed from the classes, and have instead been converted into raw health.
--Here is a basic conversion list.

HardClassBase 0.5x > 200 hp

HeavyClassBase 0.55x > 185 hp

ToadClassBase 0.65x > 155 hp

DocToadClassBase 0.728x > 135 hp

SturdyClassBase 0.8x > 125 hp

DuoClassBase 0.896x > 115 hp

ClassBase 1.0x > 100 hp

MegaClassBase 1.12x > 90 hp

Light 1.2x > 85 hp

ProtoClassBase 1.333x > 75 hp

Glass 1.5x > 65 hp

-Due to the above health changes, small/big health on a map give a percentage (15%/40%) of your max health rather than raw health (15/40)



==Vanilla related

-EnergyBalancer no longer does bonus effects for DocRobot, instead it just heals him 10% health like a Robot Master would get.

-Due to the Atomicfire change, DocRobot and EvilRobot were unable to fire a full charge shot.
--Atomicfire full shot ammo cost 15>14, damage 130>100 (this was increased to 130 for CBM due to armor)
-Atomicfire damage reduction after first hit 0.0x > 0.1x

-SkullBarrier, swap delay when shield is up removed.

-CentaurFlash has been added to the LMS weapons.

-The following classes have a 50/50 chance of dropping either of their 'two' weapons.

==New Classes

==OriginalDuo

-Mainfire fires a quick short range fist that does a small explosion
--Charging mainfire fires a larger fist with more range/damage than the short range version.
-Altfire does a very short range punch.
--Charging altfire causes the player to charge forward ramming players.
---During the ram, the player has armor and can easily be slowed down by hitstun.
---Players hit are immune to further rams for a decent duration.
-Item use at full ammo begins the meteor attack, which lasts as long as you have ammo.
--Mainfire during the meteor causes the meteor to explode.
--Altfire during the meteor cancels the meteor and causes the player to charge at the ground.

-Is able to use Copy Weapons. (Deals less damage due to Copy Nerf)
-Gets half ammo similar to DocRobot.
--Is unable to pick up ammo to refill the weapons.

--Once activated, all collected weapons have their ammo refilled, a spreadrune is gained, and the player takes 1.5x more damage.
--The spreadrune and lowered armor last as long as you have ammo.
--During this enraged stated, the player can then hit altfire with different weapons to do different Giga attacks.
---These attacks are mostly similar to the EvilRobot boss fight.
-The Giga Attack performed with the base weapon fires an Evil Laser that causes a debuff to enemies, lowering their damage by 75%.
