Cave Story Multiplayer

9/24/2022 - v0.1.1.12b-r3 (Unstable)

Maps
- PXA Tilesets can now have 65535 tiles in them instead of just 256. The tileset image must ONLY expand downwards, however. This means that tileset images are limited to 256x65280 in size.
Modding API
- Exposed DynamicWindowMode to the Mod API.

- Added score tracking to things like kills, blocks destroyed, NPCs interacted with, etc.
Weapons

- Fixed 'Fetch Player' not working.
- Fixed 'Revive Player' not working.
Capture The Puppy
- Fixed puppies sometimes moonjumping when running back to their capture point.
