Bloom can now be toggled ON | OFF with the CT script as of v258 but the databin is still required for Blood | Hiding Bow on Ryu's back | Fixing Brown Ninja Head Decapitation | CHP2 Night Mode

As of V167 - the desired difficulty mod in the CT must be activated before loading into a level (I.E main menu). 

The toggle to change IS spam behavior and make it closer to NG2 will appear after the difficulty mod has been activated. Once it appears, simply set the value to 1 to activate. Same goes for skipping female chapters (simply activate the script and read the description!)

Mod Overview

5. Custom moveset (optional toggle)
6. Sigma 1 DS and Flail strings / UTs restored (optional toggles)

10. Custom delimb system that aims to make the delimbs as close to NG2 as possible

12. Weapons can be upgraded at all Muramasa shops with essence as form of payment regardless of if it's the blue or yellow store. The cost to upgrade ranges from 15,000-35,000 per weapon level based on difficulty chosen (cost is outlined in the CT file)

33. Field Of View Slider
34. First Buddha encounter in chapter 1 removed and second Buddha battle replaced with Genshin (Liz in Ultimate Ninja)
35. Liberty statue boss replaced with Alexi (HP is lowered and moveset is weakened)

38. Chapter 2 converted to night - MAKE SURE YOU ALSO DOWNLOAD THE MODIFIED DATABIN!
39. Female level skip (optional toggle) - IF YOU CANT MOVE IN STORY MODE WITH THIS ACTIVE, SIMPLY OPEN THE MENU or QUICK MENU AND EQUIP A WEAPON


Also included are some "fun" toggles

1. No Clip
2. Electric effect on hit
3. Disable delimb (enemy limbs won't pop off)
4. Modify image size
5. Disable rain effect in chapter 3 (may crash)
6. Freeze Enemies

Most aspects of the mod can be individually turned off. All instructions are laid out in the CT file.

There are some sections in chapter 14 and Chapter 17 where ninpo is disabled, this is not a bug and is intentional (ULTIMATE NINJA ONLY)

Known Bugs:

1.  Turning off the difficulty mod in-level and then opening the weapon menu with no difficulty mod turned on has a chance of crashing the game.
2. Enabling Female skip in CH1 will result in no ninpo - simply don't activate this script until after Chapter 1 or until you receive at least 1 ninpo bar
