Welcome to the BetterLegacy wiki! Here you will learn the hows, the whats and whys of the mod.

Why is BetterLegacy?

PA Legacy modding started as separate mods with the ideas being fragmented and unclear as to where to go. There used to be several mods that handled customizable player, such as PlayerTrail and PlayerParticles created by RTMecha and CustomPlayerShapes created by enchart. As time went on, each mod was cut down to only 8 with each representing a major part of the PA modding experience. However, with all the mods being separate, came a lot of issues with compatibility and optimization. So the mods were all merged into this one, BetterLegacy!

What is BetterLegacy?

BetterLegacy acts as an all encompassing mod for the Legacy branch of Project Arrhythmia. It heavily optimizes Legacy code, fixes a ton of bugs and adds loads of new features for creators to mess around with in-game or in the editor.

Will BetterLegacy be ported to Alpha / Public branch?

No, the mod depends on a lot of Legacy scene / code that it'd be unviable to port. Even if that weren't an issue, BetterLegacy is considered a separate fork of Project Arrhythmia at this point and its philosophy does not fit with modern versions of the game.

Why does it say version 4.1.16 instead of 20.4.4?

It's to keep consistent with versions before the year.month.patch format Semantic Versioning, and I figured that Legacy branch would have been version 4.1.16 if it had kept going with major.minor.patch.
