Changed

• Girlfriend and Nene now perform previously unused animations when you achieve a large combo, or drop a large combo.
• The pixel character icons in the Freeplay menu now display an animation!
• Altered how Week 6 displays sprites to make things look more retro.
• Character offsets are now independent of the character's scale.
  • This should resolve issues with offsets when porting characters from older mods.
  • Pixel character offsets have been modified to compensate.
• Note style data can now specify custom combo count graphics, judgement graphics, countdown graphics, and countdown audio. (community feature by anysad)
  • These were previously using hardcoded values based on whether the stage was school or schoolEvil.
• The danceEvery property of characters and stage props can now use values with a precision of 0.25, to play their idle animation up to four times per beat.
• Reworked the JSON merging system in Polymod; you can now include JSONPatch files under _merge in your mod folder to add, modify, or remove values in a JSON without replacing it entirely!
• Cutscenes now automatically pause when tabbing out (community fix by AbnormalPoof)
• Characters will now respect the danceEvery property (community fix by gamerbross)
• The F5 function now reloads the current song's chart data from disc (community feature by gamerbross)

• Made several layout improvements and fixes to the Animation Offsets editor in the Debug menu (community fix by gamerbross)
• Fixed a bug where the Back sound would be not played when leaving the Story menu and Options menu (community fix by AppleHair)
• Animation offsets no longer directly modify the x and y position of props, which makes props work better with tweens (community fix by Sword352)
• The YEAH! events in Tutorial now use chart events rather than being hard-coded (community fix by anysad)
• The player's Score now displays commas in it (community fix by loggo)
