    So sometime last week Serri asked me if it was possible to use TSC flags to have entities convert from their vanilla state to custom code and while I could have just given a straight "yes" answer and just gave some 3 lines of code on how to do it, I decided to dust off this "thing" I've had...

    Move Cave Editor to Defunct Tools

    Because literally the only thing BL doesn't have that CS does is the sprite display of Faces and items/weapons. Like what? Haxinator? Weapon hacking? Map adding? *coughblackbackgroundscough* Ever since 3.5.1 BL has been at equal to CE and 4.1.4 has surpassed it by a very decent amount...
