xitemsmugglerbonusmodifier console variable to change the scaling factor of the smuggling detection bonus.

xItemLib Sampler Pack Added
Mine Cannon Plus, two Mine Cannons in one pull! All Mine Cannons are equipped at once.
Hostmod scoreboard tips for all custom items.
Changed
Pipe now spews out items after a while. The chosen items depend on its placement relative to other racers.
DKR Self-Magnet has been overhauled; it now locks on to a target and fires an energy projectile. This projectile needs to connect with an opponent to drag them backwards.
DKR Self-Magnet can now be used either by holding and releasing or by tapping twice.
Stone Axe's passive speed and acceleration boost now uses the same distance calculation as the item odds calculation.
Stone Axe now visually conveys its passive effect (via Potion of Swiftness particle effects.)
Adjusted the odds of all Sampler Pack items.
This update serves to publish unreleased work on the mod that was completed before me moving on to other projects (and later the release of Ring Racers). Featured are changes to the most favoured items of the pack to introduce more interesting strategy to games that run the Sampler Pack:
Pipe's use as a roadblock, while useful on occasion, pales in comparison to more offensive / defensive items. The item spewing mechanic should encourage racers to strategize their placement better, to try to create items for future laps, at risk of being stolen by lower ranking players.
Stone Axe's passive speed / acceleration boost mechanic was originally meant to be uncommunicated, as it originally only served to make chasing targets slightly easier. With changes to the power and distance requirements (as well as the addition of the Lingering Potion of Small) to further encourage catching up to and chasing down top racers, this effect is now better communicated to the wielder and other racers.
DKR Self-Magnet recieved an overhaul contributed by Altiami. This overhaul aims to better communicate the usage of the item, via the use of a Jawz-like projectile, as well as introduce counterplay for the victim, allowing them to destroy the attack. Additionally, the item can now be activated both by using the original input (hold and release) and by using inputs more standard to SRB2Kart (tap twice).
This update also serves to tie up loose ends and complete my work on the xItem Sampler Pack. I enjoyed creating custom kart racer items, and I hope players got to enjoy the results. xItemLib will remain on Github, open to contributions if anyone wishes to improve the script and addons further, but otherwise will remain in maintenance mode. Thank you for playing with and creating items for xItemLib!
Now up to date with the source code hosted on the GitHub page, including its enhancements and changes.
Downloads for extensions will now be provided on GitHub.

This update aims to improve the development cycle of future custom items by speeding up testing turnaround, making adjustments in certain commands to improve their overall usability. This update also addresses numerous concerns with some Sampler Pack items' usability, and updates some item behaviour to better match the currently released base game version.
Many changes have been requested by user Ashnal. The fallback fix was found necessary thanks to user DarkyBenji. Thank you for your contributions!

Other
Introducing xItem MultiSlot, a sample xItem Extension that gives players more item slots!

multislot_eggbox enables a check against Eggman Monitors giving items in the extra slots. On by default.
multislot_powercooldown makes the cooldown for power items (items with the XIF_POWERITEM flag) longer when transferred to the main item slot. On by default.
A compatibility extension for Battle Plus is provided with this release, to fix issues with interoperability between xItemLib and Battle Plus. (Note: both xItemLib and dependants, including this compatibility script, must be loaded after Battle Plus for the extension to properly function.)
