Known Bugs              : Unmodded seems bug free. Mods that change monster properties (size, making enmies fly etc.)
			  might break some maps, namely map06 if SMM is changed.
                          
Patch notes	        : - v1.1 includes various visual bugs/issues fixes - HOMS, slime trails, bleeding midtextures etc.
                          - Minor adjustments to MAP02 and small balance changes to MAP09.
                          - Revamped secrets, mostly biggers buttons and few reworks to make them easier to find and activate.
			  - v1.2 includes fixes to NoMo parameter runs.
			  - Minor adjustments for pacifist speedruns.
			  - Minor gameplay chanages to Map07. Monster TPs from cages, added few more monsters.
			  - "Futureproofing" Map11 - added death exit and "secret" continuous play exit.
                            (To open the continuous play exit, hug the normal exit for about 10 seconds.
			    and then quickly use revealed exit sign on the left wall (on automap). Irrelevant RN.)  
			  - Minor visual fixes (incorrect textures, bleeding midtextures, misalignments, added block lines on scenerey).
			  - Fixed incorrect difficulty tag that prevented 100% kills on map10 on skill 1/2/3.
