Changes:​

Bugfixes:​

Removals:​

• Level Limiter
• RU (Retro Underground)
• Custom Birdcam SFX

Returns:​

• Mountain Chog

Additional:
All romhacks, and their levels supported by Flood Expanded, do NOT have voting icons. This is an intentional choice to conserve file space.

The level limiter was removed because I have yet to see a single soul on this planet use it. It was also getting unreasonably hard to maintain, especially with romhack compatibility.

Following the mostly negative reception of RU (Retro Underground) I have decided to sub it out for Mountain Chog. With this replacement the achievement for RU has been changed to be for MC instead.

The Flood Expanded Reference Sheet has also been retired, I feel it is no longer necessary to keep with the new inclusion of the Flood Menu.

v2.4.0 Credits:
@birdekek: Creator of Flood Expanded
@MaiskX3: Music / Sequence Ports
SuperRodrig0: Porter of SM74
@djoslin0: UV Scroll Library
rxi + nikeinikei: JSON Lua Serializer

One last thing:
This could be the last minor update (X.4.X) for FE done mainly by me for a while, potentially up to a year or more. I’ve had my fun with Flood Expanded and I'd like to move onto other projects.
This update brings a lot of the last little things I wanted to add to Flood Expanded, like romhack compatibility.

Expect at least 1 bug patch though lmao

CTT had to be stripped of its fog. I couldn’t figure out a way of fixing it by keeping the fog, as fixing one problem brought others.
For the next update in a quadrillion years, expect to see a statistics menu, and more lobby songs.
