Version v2.2.0

- The Forest God stole some vfx from the red miasmal as well as its loincloth and gave them to itself and his minions.

Version 2.2.1
- SCAAR is now partially integrated into ACS.
- SCAAR animations will ONLY activate if ACS detects SCAAR is installed.
- If SCAAR is installed and enabled in its mod menu, ACS will use specialized behavior that will apply SCAAR settings, except for the dodges and rolls of certain movesets.
- If SCAAR is NOT enabled in its mod menu, ACS will still use specialized behaviors that apply SCAAR animations outside of combat.
