Merging in Cassidoxa's inverted mode.
I've still not fully reviewed the logic used in this mode, so it should be considered experimental, pending an in depth review by either myself or AA.
Does not include the server/client code or the rom writes
specific to it. Indeed it cannot write multiworld roms at
all right now, pending addition future updates to support
the official ALTTPR Multiworld client.
Includes some GUI changes by Alaszun

The few new features are properly documented in the README now. The included text file is a hint reference designed to help players understand the helpful hint system implemented in the ER.
Link's face is supposed to be on the sign north of his house. It was missing in error; this fixes that. I believe this is the last thing needed for release.
A longstanding issue is that Fairy Ascension Cave has been treated as a simple two way connector, but in reality bunny cannot "logically" go through the cave in reverse as it requires lifting some pots with super bunny. This super bunny state is effectively unavoidable and can really only be lost if you have Boots and foolishly bonk before lifting a pot, but for logical consistency fixing this is the right thing to do. The logic should now correctly see that the cave is a two way connection with no particular item requirements in general but that the reverse direction isn't bunny transversable.
Forever in ER, erroneously, the Map Chest in Ganon's Tower erroneously required Hookshot instead of correctly accepting Hookshot or Boots like the item randomizer. The root cause involved how regional connections were strung together with the assumption Map Chest would have the same requirements as the four DMs Room chests. This fixes that and allows that chest to be accessed by logic with Boots.
This update should fully fix the key logic for Turtle Rock. This involved fixing several longstanding bugs in the program we didn't realize we had until trying to really fix this issue. Notable inclusions are that now seeds generated with a count will be identical to similarly numbered seeds generated individually and that now the always allows actually work (key for key apparently actually never happened in ER before and we didn't notice!). This also required refactoring the item pool generation before rule setting and individually moving pendant/crystal placement out of item pool generation (it's not a separate step between rule setting and normal item fill). A few exotic seed generation fails are still possible involving multi-entrance dungeons being really, really inaccessible in non-keysanity, but they're now appropriately super rare instead of being as common as they were before.
This is just for review and isn't tested beyond seeing that it runs. In theory, this should fix the TR based seed generation failures and make TR Small Key requirements as precise as possible.
This fixes a typo in which a helpful hint referring to Thieves' Town would erroneously refer to it as Thieves' Tower. Additionally, the heart color selection now supports random which will randomly choose between the other four presented options. This random feature is also supported by the adjuster.
This causes items to use clear, specific names instead of the pedestal style ambiguous names. This also randomizes the order of the two items listed in the hints for Mire left and Swamp left. Part 2 is going to be a substantial number of changes/improvements to location names.
This fixes two issues:
-The same seed number was producing (subtly) different seeds. This was caused by misplaced random calls in the changes to the entrance shuffle; these calls to the rng were happening before the random seed was decided. Re-arranging that function should solve this. Thanks to hycutype for both noticing this and providing a solution.
-Retro mode was broken with the addition of hints. This was caused by the retro exclusive regions not having defined hints (for reasons I truly question myself over, they are defined in ItemList.py...) and then further by an obscure function in copy_world that builds the playthrough and deals with the sword cave not being updated for the new three parameter regions (region objects used to only require two parameters). This has been fixed.
This should now work fairly completely. I've added the IR's junk hint text, updated the base ROM to v30, added a checkbox to the GUI/option to the command line to control the hint system, and fixed a bug in the previous upload that listed Skull Woods final erroneously in two arrays. I also now shuffle the Silver Arrow locations before hinting at the first one (so if multiple Silver Arrows are in a seed, all of them are equally likely to be the one Ganon hints at) and now call out "Castle Tower" in hints as a unique location and not as "Hyrule Castle" (what was I thinking on that?).
The junk hints still need filled in. For now, they're just clones of the Tavern Man hints. Also I haven't really tested this at all beyond verifying it runs and the ROM it makes boots. That needs to be addressed of course.
