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.
