Phase 2 of Overhaul Maps 2.0. Every other map was touched up in some way. I did not include large scale reworks for some maps like initially intended due to moving on to other projects while ROUNDS modding is transitioning to the new update. Once this process is complete, I will then invest more into ROUNDS projects again. (For now I'm doing lots of Lethal Company modding projects). Henceforth I am also switching to a cleaner changelog format I picked up.

Emulation:
Hotfix 2 for update 2.0 Phase 1. Very similar changes to hotfix 1.
Reworked Coalesce: Same scenario as Magmatic and Brickwork changes in 2.0.1; Removed the saws; Made OH logo dynamic component of level; Made platforms taller and adjusted spacing; Slowed down movement of platforms; Attached more ropes between platforms for stability and made ropes invisible; Added a mechanical themed background; Changed platform color
Reworked Weave: Replaced mechanical saw system with consistent animation system; Saws now fall in a straight line over 2 seconds and then pause for 2 seconds; Saws alternate between center and perimeter drops; Saws are all the same size now; Tweaked platform positioning; Moved hazard signs to top and increased opacity; Moved 2 spawns to have less immediate line of sight on enemies;
Fixed Cavernous: Forgot to add an OH logo
Tweaked Monsoon: Reduced color intensity of background, which should make it less faded and even slightly transparent, to improve map clarity; Further improvements to map clarity will be made across the board when image opacity bug is fixed
Tweaked Overhaul: Made level image opacity just a tad lower and increased the definition of the "M"'s legs a bit
Adjusted README images to reflect the minor visual changes made in hotfixes
Hotfix to the big 2.0 Phase 1 update - this is not Phase 2. Fixing some issues and adding in one map rework that was delayed due to a bug in a dependency mod (I removed a minor feature to work around it).
Renamed Tic-Tac-Toe to Criss Cross (I forgot how on-the-nose this name was when doing my other naming scheme changes.)
Reworked Magmatic: Swapped out blocks for magmatic rock sprites; Added a fitting volcanic background; Added a lava background to make the lava more clear; Added more platforms; Added a danger sign; Made tweaks to platform positioning and eruption mechanism
Fixed Brickwork: Note that this was going to be a delayed rework due to the same issues as Magmatic, but I am partially releasing it now having removed several planned features in order to hotfix an issue; Fixed the old image not loading in and replaced it with a brand new level image with much less clutter
Tweaked Herpetology: Lowered the bottom platforms and removed an oddly positioned "food" platform
Fixed Rotational: Background image was a tad too small
Tweaked Overhaul: Made level image brighter to outline all map elements better
Tweaked Kaleidoscopic: Removed bottom right lasers from level image as it was confusing
Tweaked Arachnophobia: Removed UI elements from level image
Tweaked Geometric: Removed UI element from level image
Tweaked Improvisation: Removed central text from level image
Restructured README
This is phase one of Overhaul Maps 2.0, where I plan to revamp all my existing maps and add tons of new ones over the course of a couple updates. I would like to thank everyone that has done playtesting for me during this process as well as anyone who generally gave feedback or support.
Added 20 new maps: Aethereal, Arachnophobia, Cavernous, Entomology, Geometric, Improvisation, Inspired, Kaleidoscopic, Last Resort, Monsoon, Necrosis, Progenitor, Purple Rain, Quackrobatics, Romantik, Styxian, Terrafic, Underwhelm, Vendetta, and Zuology (with many more to come in the future)
Renamed 3 maps to better fit current naming scheme: Holy Mountain -> Brickwork; Hyper Tubes -> Pneumatic; Pinball Machine -> Pinballin'
Reworked Oscillating: Swapped out existing components with more illusionary and mystical sprites; Replaced moving platform with two moving platforms that go in opposite directions and no longer move off the map; Added much more cover and ways to manueveer; Added a fitting background
Reworked Overhaul: Map is now square shaped via map boundary changes; Changed background to something morea akin to the (old) mod icon; Removed lettering and swapped in new letters from sprites and logos of various games (that are either represented or soon to be represented in the mod); Instead of one row reading "OVERHAUL", it is now a 4x3 grid reading "OVER HAUL MAPS"
Tweaked Pneumatic: Added a futuristic background; Added more force to downward force zones so they can't be easily bypassed
Tweaked Recursion: Added more cover; Added a recursive background; Tweaked some platform sizes a tiny bit
Tweaked Weave: Added more platforms for better manuevering; Added a factory-like background; Added some hazard signs
Tweaked Falling Down: Added a fitting background; Reduced the alpha of all platforms to remove the glow
Tweaked Pipe Dream: Added a fitting background; Added a friend to dodge pipes with you; Made pipes more opaque and slightly tweaked colors
Tweaked Rotational: Added destructible boxes to bottom as cover; Made map rotate slower; Made boxes black instead of brown; Added a fitting background;
Tweaked Origins: Added CRT scan lines
Tweaked Title: Added a background resembling the main menu
Tweaked Poltergeist: Moved one of the spawns to a less crowded area; Added a spooky background
Reworked Emulation: Increased size of all level elements; Broke the TV and increased map dimensions so that players can manuever to more areas; Added a error background to the TV and a living room background to the overall level
Tweaked Herpetology: Added a fitting background
Tweaked Homestead: Added a forests background; Reduced the opacity of existing background elements
Tweaked Ruins: Added a ruined city background; Shifted the position of the rightmost box
Tweaked Laboratory: Added a lab background
Fixed Wipout: Fixed minor visual error; Not revamped... yet!
Tweaked Elementary: Removed the saws; Not revamped... yet!
