thank you ZettaiImproved chilloutvr:// links to no longer open the console for a split secondImproved DeepLink so it doesn't require Administrator Privileges and will be configured automatically without annoying promptsImproved the drone camera rotation to be similar to how the player camera is handledPros: No absurd camera roll when rotating up/down/left/right.Cons: Up/down is limited in a similar way as player's camera, but limit can be reset by changing actual drone roll.Improved the Freeze controller on disconnect setting so it is able to toggle on/off without the need of reloading/reconnecting the controllersImproved the reliability of jumping to get out of fluid zones when pushing against their edgesImproved the reliability of the parameter stream HeadsetOnHeadIncrease default menu opacity setting to 90%, looking into ways to increase readability on messy backgroundsKilled the Offline starting instanceYou will now default to an Online OwnerMustInvite instance when joining your Home worldKilled the PlayerMaterialParser CCK Component in favor of Shader Globals:_CVR_PlayerRootPositionsThe w component is the avatar height in meters_CVR_PlayerHipPositions_CVR_PlayerHeadPositions_CVR_PlayerLeftHandPositionsThe w component is left hand gesture value_CVR_PlayerRightHandPositionsThe w component is right hand gesture value_CVR_PlayerChestPositions_CVR_PlayerLeftFootPositions_CVR_PlayerRightFootPositionsThese are all Vector4 arrays capped at 255. You can get the player count with CVRGlobalParams1.y if needed.Made HoloPort setting be independent from VR and Desktop (if you set it on desktop will apply to desktop, if you set it in VR it will apply to VR)This will be improved further with UI updates (the settings will be touched), but for now it should address the issue of not being able to have different settings for eachMade instance types use pretty names instead of enum namesMade Quick Menu save new avatar profile workMade trying to join a instance that you have been kicked from too recently sent you to your home instanceMade ViewManager aware of Main Menu tab changesMigrated Quick Menu and Main Menu to CVRUIManagerBaseInput to simplify some initializationMinor adjustments to most parts of the Main MenuMinor clean up and style adjustments to basically everything elseHexagonification will continue, nobody can stop meTrust me it's totally minor... haha....Mitigated drag events not properly firing when moving in world space, as Unity only checks for screen space position changesMoved initial Main Menu settings update to markMenuAsReady instead of relying on BindCall from Cohtml sideMoved Logout to Exit menuMoved status text of Deep Link Status to line belowPotentially made rotating in 0G on Desktop more responsive & unbound from FPSPrevent negative & zero scaling of the local player VR rigProbably way more, it's been 2 months of touching things alot of stuff was fiddled!Redid FileDragDropHandler to hopefully not crash thingsRe-implemented the Telepathic Grab (Exterrata)If you hold trigger for a while it now times out. This should prevent unwanted telepathic grabsThe objects should now fly towards you in a nicer way, doing a nicer arcObject should now track your hand. They will go to where your hand currently is instead of where your hand was when triggeredPhysics objects will now respect physics properly, like collisionsRemoved deprecated tags from content filterRemoved fade duration from the highlight profile as it is broken and results is extremely bright colorsRemoved IsFriend checks on UserDetail view as it's unneededRemoved several things from the World Filter which are not relevant or unsupportedThis included avatar specific components, ones which were deprecated, and ones which never were even implementedRemoved the CVRSpawnable requirement for CVRCameraHelper to work, finally allowing it to function in Worlds without hassleremoved the GraphicsScreenSpaceReflections settingUnsupported in forward rendering 🙂Removed the Queue tab from the Video Player UI due to it not being implementedRemove onclick from user profile Avatar/Group button if it's a zeroed GUIDRemove VR Switch Setting and always have it enabledRenamed the Dynamics Removables setting names for props and avatar:Dynamic Bones -> Bone DynamicsMesh Cloth -> Cloth DynamicsDynamic Bone Collider -> Dynamics CollidersRenamed the IK Setting from Save Calibration to Save Calibration per Avatar to better indicate what it doesRename panosphere visual mod to capture panoramicReworked panoramic capture:Is now a mono capture (as stereo capture is flawed)Added option to capture with depth information in portable camera settings (captures same output as CCK for Portal images)Reduced hitch greatly when capturingCapturing a panoramic no longer also captures the main viewport as a screenshotReworked Create Instance panel to better handle Group instancesReworked Home Tab entirelyReworked how content metadata & tags are cached and compared against when queueing content downloadsConsolidated AvatarTags & PropTags into one definition which can chew through the different formats from API & GSReduced allocation when handling content tags received from GS content updatesReworked Portals (major help from Exterrata)Can now be dropped mid-airCan now be placed in offline instancesAre distance-hidden when far awayOnly instantiate & load once within rangePanorama texture creation adjusted to reduce hitchPanorama forward direction now aligns with initial drop orientation of the PortalThis change now means that you can expect a user dropping a Portal to have a consistent initial view within that Portal, giving you much more control of the presentation of your world through the Portal panoramaReplaced the OG grounded Portal with a floating spherical oneThis new Portal better suites the gravity & flight mechanics we have due to there being no baseThe 0G Portal will still spawn in worlds using CVRPortalMarker and will benifit from all the listed changes aboveAdditionally the animations for the 0G Portal have been spruced upStereo panoramas deprecated in favor of mono with a better shader:Stereo only worked correctly when viewed from the original forward direction and was fundamentally flawedMany stereo panoramas had inconsistent left/right images due to post-processing in-sceneThe new Portal rendering will only use the existing left eye capture of the panorama texture and do a parallax effect to give depthThis is a major improvement over the old rendering which relied entirely on the flawed stereo image to appear 3DRemaining lifetime of dropped user Portals is now displayed above the PortalThe target instance region and Portal dropper are now displayed above the PortalAdded Drop Portal button to the User Details pageThe Portal Dropped notification now no longer applies to only your own dropped Portals:By default, you will get a HUD notification if you or a friend drops a Portal in the instanceYou can also configure this notification to apply to Portals dropped by anyone or disable it entirelyThe rotation of your dropped Portal is now synced over the networkPortal panoramas now use the image cacheYou are now prompted to enter a Portal once nearby via input pressWhen walking up to a World Portal accepting this prompt will create a new instance & join itPortals now require the menu to be open or to have the mouse unlocked to open their detailsThis is to both make them consistent with how you select Players & Props and less likely to accidentally clickReworked scrolling in the menus a bit, it now requires a 50ms hold and a 50 pixel movement before scrolling is initiatedThis will also now prevent button clicks from firing once a scroll has begunThese values may get more tuning as we get feedback, but it's already SO MUCH BETTERAddressed some other elements that got funky from this changeReworked the native face tracking implementationEye tracking and mouth tracking have separated modules for processingAll Tobii and Vive settings are now merged into single settings block where player can select specific module to get face tracking data from,CVRFaceTracking supports old SRanipal legacy shapes (37) and Unified expressions (88),Unified expressions are packed into 37 networked floats without touching last byte of float, making sign and exponent not produce NaNs or Infs,OSC modules expect parameters of VRCFaceTracking name schemeOSC nodes for expected parameters are created only if don't exist in avatar's animatorFixed SRanipal face tracking looking choppy, it should now be smoothOSC module for Face/Eye tracking now only requires the parameter name to matchExample <any_path_of_parameter>/<parameter> is trimmed to <parameter> for better compatibility with existing appsAdded lipsync while face tracking toggle in the settingsReworked the TerrainFoliageFix to only run when the loaded World Asset Bundle Unity Version differs from the Client Unity VersionReworked Unity UI interactionsIMPORTANT: This may be a breaking change for some existing content. Please take a look!Now driven through the Unity Event SystemThis addresses several issues:You no longer need to shove colliders on all Unity UI elements to be able to raycast to themYou no longer will raycast to Unity UI through the Main/Quick Menus or other UICreating Unity UI that is not raycastable, (purely for visual, like a HUD), no longer requires you to crawl & disable the generated box colliders or switch layers at runtimeYou can now limit the interaction distance for your Unity UI via the CVRCanvasWrapper componentMost importantly, there should no longer be a disconnect with what works in Unity and what works in ChilloutVR in reguards to Unity UISeveral setups only work in ChilloutVR and not in Unity/PlayMode due to the old method of how Unity UI interaction was handled, and vice-versaSeparated the left and right blinking handlingRequires CCK 4.0 - to be released at a later dateThis allows the new separated blend shape mode in the CCK workThe Main Menu & Quick Menu will now remain in place while they are playing their closing animationThe on-screen keyboard is now displayed when clicking on in-world input fields on DesktopUnity UI drag threshold is now scaled with playspace scaleUpdated Magica Cloth 2 to v2.16.1Updated the Discord invite URL in the Support page of the Main MenuWhitelisted RectMask2D for SpawnablesNotes
- Group Management is only currently available in-game with Hub features to follow soon
