- Changes since v2.1.4 Old Engine-

[Additions]

- Re-added Sonic Boll v1.9.3's functionality to eyedrop the exact data of placed objects

- Instead of happening every time you eyedrop, due to the new family system, this is a new button (CTRL + Right-Click)

- The eyedropped object will be placed in a special 10th slot on the hotbar (use 0 key on keyboard)

- Added Activation Areas. these objects will activate every object within their radius as long as the area is also active

- These should ideally be used for small segments of a level, as using them in very large chunks may cause lag

- If an Activation Area starts and ends at the top and bottom of the region it will extend by a few tiles in both directions so that vertical wrapping objects don't get stuck on the edge of one

- If you have wrapping moving platforms anywhere in the level one of these is Required for them to work by the way

- Added "Testing Spawn" to the Lemon Editor. Place Small Fire Mario by Right-Clicking with the spawn tool to test your level from any location without moving the main spawn point

- Added "script_load" and "script_run" functions for modded script creation

- Added Spray Can Paletting for Skins and Charms to use

- Added New Skin Settings:

- Reroute (Sprite)

- Reroute Sizes 

- Connect

- Custom Sprite List

- Sprite offset x, Sprite offset y

- Use paletting

- Defaultspray 1-4

- Single Sheet

- Sheet Splits

- Multiple Box Sizes

- and more!

- Added a new console help menu (type 'help' in console!)

- Green Mode

- Not an addition but theres no "Removals" section of the changelog so:

- "Unadded" the Bios menu, There is now a discord button in its place

- Added new Random button in roster

- Added Time Attack to the main menu

- Added align to doors and warp boxes

- Many enemies now have a lemon toggle to face to the right instead of left

- Re-added Tokens from 1.9 with a new twist:

- Tokens come in three variants: White, Blue, and Green.

- The color of the token shows how persistent the token is:

- White Tokens will last for one level but return to you upon death. Things unlocked by them will not keep their state, your White Tokens will be refunded when you spawn.

- Blue Tokens, and the state of things unlocked by them, will last until you quit or finish a level pack. Spent Blue Tokens will never return to you for the rest of the run.

- Green Tokens are permanently collected, and things unlocked by them will retain their state forever. The only way to reverse this is to change their setting back to 0 or delete your save file.

- Green Tokens are tracked by name rather than an ID. These names can be the same across different level packs, but two Green Tokens in the same level pack cannot share a name. Objects that accept tokens as payment will check for Green Tokens that share a name with the object. (i.e. A door named "World 2-3 Door" will only be unlocked by a Green Token named "World 2-3 Door")

- Green Tokens will also show their name at locked doors and upon collection so it's recommended to give them more descriptive names than most other warps in the game. 

- Added reloadworld and reloadlevel console commands that reload the current world skin and level skin respectively (Contributed by KellyM)
