New Charts

• Added 4 new EXTREME difficulty charts

  • FRONTLINERS

Changes

• Added the "Invert Colors" option to the ADV. INTERFACE category, which inverts the Early/Late offset colors

• Added "Hitsound Offset" option to the GAMEPLAY category
  • Also supported by Saved Offsets

  • Sound Effect volume will no longer affect Hitsound volume

• Added "EX Percentage" option to ADV. INTERFACE, which displays your current EX % in the score info section
  • Works with Subtractive Scoring, and EX Difference

  • The Audio Calibration system wasn't used often, it's more often than not that other people will tell players to just play the game and adjust sync as necessary

  • Existing play data will not be affected

Chart Developer Changes

• Added the -showmods command line argument, which now displays debug information in gameplay while Chart Developer Mode (-chartdev) is enabled
• Added column-specific #FAKE timing segments -- simply give a #FAKE segment an optional integer, starting at 0 for the left-most column
  • #FAKE,16,0 will mark the first column's notes as fakes for 16 beats

• Added #MEASURE_LINE timing segments, which optionally take a left or right argument for track-specific variants
  • Added xdrv.AddMeasureLine to modfile lua, which takes a timing value, timing type ("beat" or "time"), and optionally "left" or "right" for track-specific variants
  • Examples: #MEASURE_LINE,left, xdrv.AddMeasureLine("beat", 0, "right"), #MEASURE_LINE, xdrv.AddMeasureLine("beat", 0)
  • This change also optimizes measure line spawning, which should result in less frame drops where they're activated in large chunks

• xdrv.RunEvent and xdrv.AddMeasureLine now can have their first timing value and timing type arguments swapped without issue (xdrv.AddMeasureLine(0, "beat"), and xdrv.AddMeasureLine("beat", 0) will both be allowed syntax)
• Timing Segments without an = will now act as an empty Timing Segment of that type with no arguments
• Fixed Timing Segments with no arguments counting as 1 empty argument
• Fixed the "SetCheckpointLabel" event throwing errors when given values that can be expressed as a different type, such as an integer
• Fixed EnableBloomBeat events not working properly depending on the beat it started at
