Tweaks

• Larger shotguns now have a recoil (relative to player size)
• Changed [Sizing]ItemSizeChangeStep from 0.5 to 0.4, as it's likelier that players don't want to make them disappear in 2 steps

• being small isn't a greencard for not being targetable anymore (they followed you like pets, unable to get their desired item which a smaller player held)
• hoarding bugs will grab players smaller than them on collision
• enlarging a hoarding bug will make any smaller players immediately grabbable
• they're not fully muted anymore.. yippie!

Compatibility

• Added config option [Experimental]UseLethalLevelLoaderForItemRegistration as a way to disable usage of LethalLevelLoader, which caused bugs when loading items.

1.0.0

What's new

• Enemy scaling!
• Configurable
• Enemies can be shrunken to death.. but be warned.. there might be consequences.
• Hoarding bugs can only grab smaller sized players. Maybe it's not wise to enlarge them..

• Support for LethalLevelLoader
• Our own Wiki!

Tweaks
