8/24/2017: Tested and confirmed the version 1. 2 of this mod is compatible with the latest patch. 8/21/2017: 1. 2 release. Removed the white square from the selection screen. Thanks Morbidslinky! 8/19/2017: 1. 1 release. No longer conflicts with mods that affect EquipDevelopFlowSetting. 8/17/2017: 1. 0 release. Currently conflicts with mods that make changes to 'EquipDevelopFlowSetting.lua.' I'm looking into fixing that.
Thank you to tinmantex for the help. Check out his mod Infinite Heaven. It does what this mod does, plus WAY more. Original credit for this technique goes to unknown321.
