Bugs

Big icons will crop off - ✅

Hurt Notes crash the game if Enable Color Shader is turned off - ✅
If Color Quant notes are used, sometimes a sustain note will use a different sustain color than the previous notes - ✅
If you turn on Rendering Mode but turn on the rating popups, running popUpScore will make the vocals play, even if you don't want them to - ✅ (This is when you should become aware that.. the music isn't supposed to play when Rendering Mode is turned on.)
The Dave Engine and TGT V4 Score Styles crash the game, and their respective Time Bar Styles use the wrong font - ✅
Note types will show the wrong texture if a LUA script changes it - ✅
Note splashes are affected by note colors regardless of whether or not the color shader is actually enabled - ✅

@JordanSantiagoYT I saw a way to implement extra keys without breaking the note skins, I’ve seen a repo do it before

The base noteskin there is an EK noteskin (aka. one that uses more than 4 keys)

What I mean by breaking noteskins is that adding EK would make all the current noteskins in this engine (aside from the default one) unusable, because they don't support key counts higher than 4

yeah but checks for ek more skins can be added though, since the xml names and such are different, and we can check if they’re different or not

like this, but there’s other methods too
