Moved to “Options for Sound Fixes Pack” folder.

— New “global variable files” for modders —
Added global variable files that can be changed by mods without changing game_data.sii.
Included files for this version (new ones may be added overtime) are:
* blinker_config.sui
* mirrorFOV_config.sui
* odometer_config.sui
* int_sound_config.sui
* ext_sound_config.sui

What does this mean? For example:

Mirror FOV mods are now able to be adapted specifically the Sound Fixes Pack game_data.sii
without overriding the game_data.sii itself.

To change the Mirror FOV, open the Sound Fixes Pack and copy file from
def/mirrorFOV_config.sui to your mod with the edited values.

Then enable the mirror FOV mod with higher priority.
[WARNING: Do not include def/game_data.sii]
