Changelogs
Version 5.7
[MISC] Updated the mod to support Update 6.66 Rev 2.
[NEW] The remaining mod variations I haven't shared before ('NoHub', 'NoCameras', 'NoHub-NoIntro') will now be available from here on out.
Version 5.6
[MISC] Updated the mod to support Update 6.66 Rev 1.
Version 5.5
[MISC] Updated the mod to support Update 6.66.
Version 5.4a
[MISC] Deprecated the use of custom entityDefs due to them being more trouble then they're worth.
Version 5.4
[MISC] Updated the mod to support Update 6.4.
[MISC] Merged the Health, Armour and Ammo refill entityDefs into one.
[MISC] Moved all custom entityDefs to a whitelisted entityDef directory in an attempt to get DEternal_loadMods to stop listing the mod as "non-online-safe" (in theory this *should* work, but its whitelist system seems to be acting up).
Version 5.3a
[FIX] Fixed an issue concerning all .entities files -- especially the Hub -- due to a decompression issue (to put it lightly).
Version 5.3
[MISC] Changed the version number format around a bit; no point in having one I'm never going to update.
[MISC] Updated the mod to support Update 6.2.
Version 5.2
[MISC] Super Gore Nest, ARC Complex: Updated the Argent Cell and Mod Bot entities to match their current iterations in the Hub.
[FIX] Cultist Base: Fixed an issue where the Praetor Suit Token at the start of the level wouldn't give you anything.
[FIX] Super Gore Nest: Fixed an issue where you wouldn't receive the Ballista at the beginning of the level.
[FIX] Nekravol: Fixed an issue where you wouldn't receive the Unmaykr at the beginning of the level, even if you met the requirements.
Version 5.1a
[FIX] Exultia: Fixed a major issue where the portal to Hell would not open unless reloading from the checkpoint or entering the mission from the Mission Select (AGAIN!!!)
Version 5.1
[MISC] Updated the mod to support Update 6.
[MISC] Gave each variation of the mod their own unique descriptions in EternalMod.json.
[NEW] Reimplemented the automatic entityDef removal feature in full.
[FIX] The Holt: Fixed an issue where Phase 1B of the Samur fight would break if you reloaded from the checkpoint.
[FIX] Reclaimed Earth: Fixed an issue where the map's idMusicEntity played the Hub's tracks instead of the regular tracks.
Version 5.0a
[MISC] The automatic Entity removal function has been temporarily removed due to it being dramatically more incomplete than I had anticipated. It will be reimplemeneted in full with the next release.
[FIX] Exultia: Fixed a major issue where the portal to Hell would not open unless entering the mission from the Mission Select.
Version 5.0
[MISC] Super Gore Nest: The game will now only attempt to give you the Ballista if you aren't already carrying it.
[MISC] Nekravol: The game will now only attempt to run the Unmaykr check if you aren't already carrying it.
[MISC] The Fortress of Doom: Removed the unlockable Argent Cells and Mod Bots again due to issues (they'll still appear in their respective levels). The Sentinel Battery slots have been left unused.
[NEW] The mod now uses the new 'assetsinfo' feature introduced in DEternal_loadMods 6 to allow for modular custom entityDefs. The mod has been assigned a loadPriority of '2147483647' (the highest available integer, to make sure this mod gets loaded first, so other mods can override this one if necessary).
[NEW] Custom NoHub entityDefs will now be removed after they've been executed to prevent potential abuse/cheating.
[NEW] Exultia: Removed the sole Sentinel Battery in NoHub releases due to it being unnecessary, as well as altering checkpoints around the area to accomodate for the removal.

Version 4.0

[MISC] Progression item animation skips have been removed for the time being, due to certain problems arising with them.
[NEW] DLC2 levels are now supported.
[NEW] New mod variation: "Neo NoCameras-NoIntro". This variation excludes the 'NoHub' portion of the mod, for users who wish to keep it.

Version 1.0
Initial release. All code from the original mod has been ported over.
This mod will change the way the campaigns work by removing the hubs completely, in addition to removing most unskippable camera sequences and all campaign intros.
As the hub is removed, instead of going to it after each map, the player will advance to the next campaign level directly. The game can be 100%'ed anyway, since a few upgrades are given at the start of some maps the same way you would get them in the hub:
General
[NoHub] Ammo, health and armour are refilled at the beginning of each level you would transition to from the hub.
[NoHub] You will only return to the Hub after finishing the campaign.
Hell on Earth
[NoIntro] The intro scene will be skipped entirely.
Exultia
[NoHub] The Flame Belch, its codex entry, and ARC Broadcast Log I are automatically given at the start of the level.
[NoHub] A Sentinel Crystal has been placed near your spawn.
[NoHub] The Sentinel Battery placed before the portal to Hell has been removed.
Cultist Base
[NoHub] The Ice Bomb, its codex entry, and ARC Broadcast Log II are automatically given at the start of the level.
[NoHub] A Praetor Token has been placed near your spawn.
Super Gore Nest
[NoHub] The Ballista and its codex entry are automatically given at the start of the level.
[NoHub] Two Sentinel Crystals and a Mod Bot have been placed near your spawn.
ARC Complex
[NoHub] ARC Broadcast Log III is automatically given at the start of the level.
[NoHub] A Mod Bot has been placed near your spawn.

[NoHub] If you completed all six Slayer Gates, the Unmaykr and its codex entry will automatically be given at the start of the level.
DLC1 ~ UAC Atlantica
[NoIntro] The intro scene will be skipped entirely.
DLC1 ~ The Holt
[NoHub] The intro scene will be skipped entirely.
[NoCameras] The timings of the boss's spirit summons have been altered to accomodate for the fact that you are no longer being frozen in place by a spectacle camera.
