NoStageEffects

Tournament-ready mod to disable distracting stage animations and effects.

General Changes:

• Disabled shockwave and glitch effects upon hitting the ball
• Disabled all eclipse effects (stage transformation when ball speed reaches 250)
• Disabled heaven effect (pure white stage when ball speed reaches 1,000,000)
• Disabled KO Camera in local games
• Disabled stage intro cutscene in local games
• Force game/video settings:
  • Screen shake off
  • White flashes off
  • Fixed camera mode

Stage-Specific Changes:

• The elevator on New Rise District (Elevator) no longer leaves the 1st floor
• The train on The Subways (Subway) now continues straight without turning or stopping
• The screen on Paradise Field (Stadium) is now turned off
• The blimps on Abandoned Pool (Pool) no longer pass right behind the stage
• The iron buckets on Workbot Factory (Factory) no longer appear
• The drones on Central Streets (Streets) no longer appear
• The submarine on The Sewers (Sewers) no longer appears

Note: Effects can be toggled back on in the config file or with MrGentle's ModMenu, but this mod is intended to provide a drop-in tournament-standard visual experience. For more extensive customization, check out StageTweakerReborn and EffectsSettings.
