GMOTA v1.5

Hoo boy. So I couldn't finish this mod in 2022. So this is what I'm bringing to the table. v1.5 may not have Samson but this is still an absolutely massive update. Blaz and Doomslayer have undergone some pretty drastic changes, and poor Kustam has been benched until 2023, he needs more work done to be brought up to the level Blaz and Doomslayer are at the moment, and I simply do not have the time. 

With that out of the way, let's take a look at the changelog!

CHANGELOG

==BLAZ==

!ALL ATTACKS REBALANCED

!Altered Blazter ammo system, heat, bullets and subshot ammo have all been streamlined into just one ammo meter, replenish it with punches, bullet gems, and dark gems!

!Revamped Blaz's HUD!

!SWORD TECH HAS BEEN REMOVED. The elemental effects that some sword techniques had have now been given to the subweapons themselves

!REMOVED BLAZTER SUBSHOTS. This was done in an effort to shine a greater spotlight on Blaz's subweapons themselves, as well as further drive home Blaz's poor range stat.

!Blazter is now bound to altfire, so switching weapons changes what altfire does: Between throwing subweapons, or firing the Blazter!

!Blaz now has new upgrades, smite multiple foes with Cleave, leave traps with Wall Shatter, blow em up with Stun Overload, and send them fleeing with Terror Bullets!

+Blaz now only needs to land 4 normal sword attacks instead of 5 for a powered sword strike

==GENERAL==

!REMOVED SPELL CUBES, MIGRATED SELECT SUBWEAPONS FROM CUBES INTO THE CHESTS

!Added a customizer menu, allowing for options like pistol start, and how much HP might rings give!

!Added a Subweapon lock key, now players have greater control over what they pick up!

+Added +DONTRIP to defensive actors like Blaz's shield, mainly as a safety precaution if paired with other gameplay mods like Corruption Cards

+Removed +COUNTITEM from armor pickups and ice cream, why the hell did I do that?

+Added +DONTREFLECT for all player melee attacks, this should help with addons like Corruption Cards that give monsters reflective properties.

=Cleaned up the code for spawning the hammer waves, you won't notice it, but god it looks a lot nicer under the hood.

=Disabled auto aim for all weapons, mainly as a precaution to avoid any future breakage

=Reduced the HP of chests to help compensate for the new damage values of player attacks

=If chests are telefragged, they just burst into particles and don't drop a subweapon, this was done to make sure you don't teleport into a chest and get something you don't want.
