Editors notes:

a lot of notes this time, sorry!
#1: this allows users to pay comets and lock the lift to a high difficulty (hardcore-champion) for 3 rounds
#2: this picks maps based on how many people survived the last round. if only 2 of 10 people survived, the difficulty decreases, but if 8 of 10 people survive, the difficulty increases
#3: these let you customize almost every aspect of the game. custom lobby music? map voting? force map events? we got it, and a lot more!
#4: this shows rewards gained from each map, what your streak was, and how long it took to complete the map
#5: as of typing this, theres currently an issue causing keybinds to not save properly. this is preventing the game from being able to read your data properly and as a result, will lock up on step 7 (now step 6 in 1.7) of the loading process
#6: ranging from map sfx, to button guides, to even champion announcements
#7: while tr2 has supported lighting fx long before fe2, those effects were always under the lighting folder. fe2 uses another folder under lighting called “Effects”, which tr2 previously did not recognize
#8: tldr if you use game.ReplicatedStorage.Remote.Notify for notifications, you dont need to change anything for it to work in tr2
#9: i did an actual npesta reaction when i got this
