Pushed out a small bugfix update for NoteTweaks yesterday that fixed bomb outlines always being colored white when bloom was disabled across the game. Also fixed UI lag when interacting with some setting sliders. You can grab 0.12.3 from Encore, or here: git.gay/TheBlackParr...

My code is now an ifdef mess too in order to support all of these versions, but I don't expect any major changes past this point (except for more ifdefs once URP is "officially moddable"), so.

I've added support for older versions of Beat Saber (1.29, 1.34, 1.37, and 1.39) in OpenMapVoting, some better UI indications for voting actions, and BetterSongList upvote/downvote filters in case you want to play things you hate (i guess). Grab it here, or through Encore: git.gay/TheBlackParr...

Pushed an update to EfficientCoverImages for Beat Saber 1.40+ that speeds things up just a tiny bit more, and lets the game cache more cover images. 0.1.1 should go out through Encore shortly, or you can grab it here: git.gay/TheBlackParr...

Updated EnvironmentParticles to allow particle spawners to follow a recommended spawn shape, since some environments play better with spheres over hemispheres. Some don't play well *at all*, too. 0.3.0 should go out through Encore here shortly, or you can grab it here: git.gay/TheBlackParr...

Fixed some things with OpenMapVoting and added color settings. 0.0.1 should go out through Encore here shortly, or you can grab it here: git.gay/TheBlackParr... yay color

I've also modified DiTails to use the mod if you want it to update vote statuses in the map list: github.com/TheBlackParr...

OpenMapVoting: a mod for Beat Saber that ended up existing because I got fed up dealing with BeatSaverVoting and didn't want to follow through its coroutine hell to fix things up a bit. git.gay/TheBlackParr... Other mods can utilize the voting functions as well, this was another pain point for me.
