v8 — maintenance, new menu tweaks

new year, new mental issues

Long time no see guys!

This is a small update that adds two new menu tweaks and acknowledges the new year. There's also small refactorings here and there.

Don't know if it's a common knowledge, but I found out that the game runs way better on Proton 9 as opposed to the one Steam uses by default.

Not really hyped on the announced return/reboot/remake/resomething else, but it just might be me being an old man and disliking the new stuff, a very old man thing to do.

Tested with the second 2025-12-19 release of Musynx.

Changelog

A lot of under the hood changes.

Repo itself

(mostly a test run for the other repo tbf)

• Converted to use the new and shiny slnx solution format.
  It has an "X" in its name, so it has to be at least 20% cooler.
• Introduced the Directory.Build.props file to define the settings shared between the mod projects once.
  Some projects only use the common settings and so their csprojs are now one-liners.

All mods

All the mods in the repo have been changed:

• Target MelonLoader version is now 0.7.1 Open-Beta.
  Up from 0.7.0, seems to work well.
• Built with net481 framework now.
  Up from net472, the last version I remember before switching to Core.
• Copyright message extended to include the current year.
  Mostly to show that I'm still (occasionally) working on them.
• Minor refactorings here and there, too minute to be listed for individual mods.
  Like converting stray CRLF files to LF; switching some nameofs to typeofs in patch definitions; you get the idea.

In addition, there are also some bigger changes to some of the mods:

Menu tweaks

Added two new tweaks:

• To use one of the two drop shadow colors for all white text in the big menu.
  Now you can't unsee it too ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
• To prevent the song switching when trying to select Inferno difficulty for a song that does not have one.
  Only for the list (small) menu.

Plentiful stats

• Fixed the unfortunate typo in the message shown when the mod is configured to do nothing.
  This is the third time I'm fixing this typo pasted to multiple projects xdd.

v6 — new mod

all according to keikaku

Long time no see guys!

This is an update that adds a small mod, bringing the total mod count to 7. The rest of the mods are simply re-released.

Tested with 2025-04-03 release of Musynx (I'll let you know when (if?) the version number changes).

Other things I'd like to point out:

• The supported MelonLoader version is now 0.7.0.
  I recommend to upgrade, as the console output is fixed (and colors are back for Proton too!). Old version, 0.6.1, still worked when I last tried it, though, so this is optional.
• Since this repo has no release schedule, you might be interested in an Atom feed for releases, available at https://github.com/bnfour/mx-mods/releases.atom (thanks, GitHub — it's also present for any other repo and more)
  Subscribe if you want to be notified whenever a new release is available.

Changelog

🥳 New mod, Quick quit and restart, released as 1.0.0

It's a mod to quicky (one key tap) restart or leave the level without opening the pause menu:

• Press Backspace in-game to restart.
• Press Delete in-game to quit to song select.

Let me know if you run into any issues or have other feedback.

Other mods

All other mods are unchanged from v5, refer to its changelog for the list of latest changes.

v5 — new mod, transpilation magic, and whatnot

booted up the game to perform a quick smoke test, but ended up setting a bunch of personal bests ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Long time no see, guys! (or Hello everyone)

This is an update that has a bit of everthing: there is a new mod, meaningful and label-only updates to old ones.

Tested with Musynx 1.5.1, released:

• 2025-01-02
• 2025-01-27
• 2025-02-18
• 2025-02-28
• 2025-03-03
• 2025-04-03

Changelog:

New mod, Menu tweaks, released as 1.0.0:

• A collection of "fixes" to the song selection menus, similar to Skin tweaks (10/10 naming, I know)
• Features including:
• • Fix for player rank sometimes using wrong suffix, like "eleventh" displayed as "11st"
• • Mute of menu sounds other than the song preview

Skin tweaks, now 1.2.0:

• now STG2D certified
• • I bought the DLC and can confirm the features I used to say "should maybe work, but unsure" did work the whole time!
• new tweak: background art for STG2D with configurable transparency
• • it was way trickier than expected to implement, I can see why it's not there originally
• (cosmetic) copyright updated to include current year
• • I only did this to assert that this is still a work in progress; the rest of existing mod were updated as well

Plentiful stats, now 1.1.1:

• rewrote some patches using the magic of transpiling
• • still behaves the same, but the code is prettier now and I'm equally proud of and terrified by my new byte-code alteration super powers; it was fun and educational, so I advise fellow dotnet devs to look into it too
• (cosmetic) copyright updated to include current year

VSync annihilator, now 1.0.1 -- cosmetic changes only:

• minor text fixes
• (cosmetic) copyright updated to include current year

Optional options, now 1.0.1 -- cosmetic changes only:

• (cosmetic) copyright updated to include current year

Hidden cursor, now 1.0.1 -- cosmetic changes only:

• (cosmetic) copyright updated to include current year

v4 — the score goes BRRR

i guess "just go do something else for a while and you'll think of the solution" works

This is an update for Skin tweaks, making it work like I originally envisioned it, but was unable to implement earlier. The rest of the mods are re-released.

Tested with Musynx 1.5.1:

• 2024-06-25 release
• 2024-09-30 release
• 2024-12-24 release

Changelog for Skin tweaks, now 1.1.0:

• Added a new mode to update the score on Techno2D (and STG2D?) every combo tick while long notes are held. See the updated readme for more info, key points:
• • It's enabled by default, the old behaviour can be restored by setting AdvLongNoteScoring to false in the config.
• • LongNoteEndScoring to toggle the feature was renamed to just LongNoteScoring — if you have it disabled, please set it to false manually again (sorry (シ_ _)シ)

Tested with Musynx 1.5.1 (2024-06-25 release).
