2024.5.28.94 - Avatar Facet Anchors - customize your UI!

6:46pm

Hello everyone! I'm very excited with this update, as I've finally implemented something that I wanted to do for a while - a sort of "cherry on top" of the Setting UI rework and other things - Avatar Facet Anchors!

What this means is that you can place facets (which includes any individual settings from the new Setting UI!) on your hands and your viewport for quick access!

This way you can customize your UI experience so you don't need to rummage through the dash for things you use often! As we rework more UI's into modular facet pieces, the power of this feature will grow even more!

There's a bunch of other nice things and improvements, both related and unrelated. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this!

New Features:

- Added Facet Anchors on avatar (hands & forearms) & viewport
-- This can be enabled in Settings under User Interface
-- When enabled, pressing the App button on the right controller will show/hide the on avatar facet anchors
-- This provides a number of additional spaces to place facets for quick access to UI, without needing to open the entire Dash

- Added AvatarFacetAnchor (under Users/Common Avatar System)
-- This lets you customize positioning of facet anchors on each avatar
-- When the component isn't present, default positioning is used
-- All full body avatars are automatically instrumented with the anchors for hands and forearms

- Facet anchors are always a laser priority
-- This prevents them from being occluded by the avatar colliders

- Add UserspaceLaserPriority component
-- When added on a laser target that's in userspace, this will force that target to be a priority - the laser won't be blocked by any colliders in world

- Added setting for legacy inventory/session gesture (requested by @art0007i, issue #1796)
-- Default is off, so if you want these to work, you need to re-enable it manually
-- Note that since these are legacy gestures, they will be removed completely at some point
- Add UI Edit Mode toggle to the settings (under User Interface) (requested by @epiceaston197, @zyro1331, issue #290)
- Added "Set Values" to DataPreset in inspector UI (requested by @_amplified_, issue #1338, implemented by @probableprime)

Tweaks:

- Grabbing UIGrabbable elements is now NestedCanvas aware
-- This means you can now grab UI elements that are part of nested canvases
-- This fixes the individual setting facets not being grabbable (reported by @stiefeljackal and @jackthefoxotter, issue #1706)
- Canvas laser pass through is now aware of nested canvases and will block the laser appropriatelly
- Avatar equip option is now shown when the avatar is held in addition to clicking on it (requested by @epiceaston197 , issue #2111)
- UserInterfaceEditModeSync now respects the Enabled status
-- When disabled, the value will always be false - this can be used to disable anything that reacts to the Edit mode state
- Settings UI facet grid is no longer editable by default
-- This prevents accidentally grabbing and removing settings
-- This allows setting facets being grabbed from the settings
-- If you want to replace the settings with custom ones, you can temporarily enable editability under User Interface -> Dash Settings - Allow Replacing Settings

Locale:

- Merged Japanese locale update by @.aesc
- Merged French locale update by @j4.lc
- Merged Korean locale update by @mirpasec

Security:

- Uninitialized enders will no longer grab world focus, preventing them from locking user into a world (reported via security ticket by kaylie, fixed by @probableprime)

2024.5.24.202 - Fix for strings with sprite glyphs breaking some UIs

May 23

A quick hotfix for an issue that popped up, sorry!

Compatible with current build.

Bugfixes:

2024.5.23.1416 - Value user gathers, fix for audio device freeze and more

May 23

Hello everyone! I'm still recovering a bit, so I went through some smaller funner things today. So here's a few small cool things!

Oh I also managed to fix the freezing thing when connecting/disconnecting audio!

New Features:

- Add ability to tint sprite glyphs (requested by @_deltawolf, issue #1469)
-- You can mark sprites to be globally tintable on DynamicSpriteFont, by checking "Tintable" on each glyph
-- You can also override tinting behavior using "tint=true/false" syntax for the sprite tag

- Add BooleanUserOverrideGather (requested by @jackthefoxotter, issue #1014)
-- This functions like normal ValueUserOverride<bool>
-- However it also computes aggregate values for all users present in the session (uses Default value if given user doesn't have an override)
-- The aggregate values are: Any, None, All, TrueCount and FalseCount

- Add NumericUserOverrideGather<T> (requested by @jackthefoxotter, issue #1014)
-- This functions like normal ValueUserOverride<T> with T being a numeric type
-- It also computes aggregate values for all users present in the session (default value is used for users who are not overriden)
-- Aggregate values are Min, Max, Sum and Average

- Added RoundedCornerRadius to CircleSegmentShaderMesh (requested by @modernballoonie, issue #2080)

- Add MMC24 special badges (requested by @medravr, icons by @anthroanim)

Tweaks:

- Parameter parsing for RTF tags is now more robust and able to skip starting & ending whitespaces
- Add mechanism that inherits setting values from the machine settings when the setting first initializes for a logged in user
-- Some setting types are excluded from this - notably host access & bans
-- This fixes new user settings set in the intro wizard not persisting after user registers account (reported by @zbossgamer, issue #1951)

Locale:

- Merged Korean locale update by @mirpasec
- Merged Russian locale update by @shadowpanther
- Merged German locale update by @muppeq
- Merged Japanese locale update by @.aesc
- Merged Chinese locale update by modimobeikete

Bugfixes:

- Fix a deadlock when re-scanning audio devices on change, resulting in random freeze when audio devices are connected or disconnected (reported by @mrkbx, @shiftyscales, @ohzee, niddey, @dustysprinkles, dragos240, @inucune, issue #1739)

2024.5.22.1274 - Native Quest Pro eye & face tracking over SteamLink

May 22

Hello everyone! This is more of a "personal" update, since I've been sick with COVID for past several days >///> I decided to pick up a thing I wanted to do for a good bit, adding the native face & eye tracking support for Quest Pro since I have it with me right now.

This builds integrates the Quest Pro face tracking into our general face & eye tracking system. Since it supports more parameters, the general system has been expanded with new expressions and capabilities!

If you got avatar setup already, it'll work out of the box, since most got mapped to the existing parameters. But there's also whole bunch of new ones too.

If you're using Vive Pro Eye + Vive Face tracker, the system will also optionally estimate some of them for you as well - you're given some new controls to determine if certain expressions should be estimated or not.

Anyway I hope you'll enjoy this update regardless, there will be more cool stuff coming soon! :3

New Features:

- Added native support for Quest Pro eye & face tracking over SteamLink OSC
-- It should work out of the box as long as it's enabled in SteamVR
-- You can select which port to receive data on (9000 or 9015) in Settings under Devices

- Expanded generalized face & eye tracking support with new parameters (available on AvatarExpressionDriver)
-- Mouth Dimple (left & right)
-- Cheek Raise
-- Lip Overturn (Funnel) has been split between left & right
-- Lip Overlay / Underlay (suck in) has been split between left & right
-- Lip Stretch / Tighten
-- Lips press
-- Pout (pucker) has been split between left & right
-- Nose Wrinkle (snarl)
-- Chin Raise (bottom and top)
-- Eyebrow vertical offset for inner & outer side

- Eye tracking system is now aware of whether pupil tracking is supported or not
-- For eye tracking hardware that does not support pupil tracking (e.g. Quest Pro), EyeManager will automatically simulate it as normal
-- If you're accessing the raw data, the value will be less than 0 (-1)

- Face tracking system now communicates which sets of parameters it tracks
-- This ensures that data streams are setup only for the ones that are needed
-- AvatarExpression driver will try to estimate parameters that are not tracked when enabled

- Added EstimateIfNotTracked to expression drivers on AvatarExpressionDriver
-- Disabling this will not drive given expression if it's not directly tracked
-- Note that some expressions are never directly tracked at the moment, so they will never be driven if you disable this

Tweaks:

- SRAnipal will not be automatically started when running over SteamLink

Locale:

- Merged Japanese locale update by @.aesc
- Merged German locale update by @muppeq
- Merged French locale update by @j4.lc
- Merged Russian locale update by @shadowpanther
- Merged English locale fix by @_deltawolf and @muppeq
- Merged Finnish locale update by @airride91
- Merged Chinese locale update by modimobeikete

Help us decide our next major priority - IK or performance

May 21

With the Settings UI update implemented, we are now considering what is the next major project for Resonite. Our original plan was to rework the IK system, but after re-evaluating the current state of the platform, we feel that we might consider another goal: major performance improvements.
We’d like to ask you, the community - both new, old, both regulars and everyone watching Resonite from afar - what is most important to you, to help us make the decision on the path forward.

We will keep this survey open until June 4th, because we want to give you enough time to read through it, digest it, discuss it with your friends and community before submitting answers. We will send a reminder two days before it closes.

Our current focus is on smaller bug fixes and additions. We will give you, the community, sufficient time to provide feedback before making a decision on which of these major updates will happen first and which one will be done after that.

View the survey

You can find more details on what would each priority entail in the survey itself as well as number of questions.

https://files.yellowdogman.com/apps/forms/embed/z8YB9CNpEZYSaTxDBm6i6zEf

Before you fill it out

If you'd like to ask us any questions about the priorities before you answer, we created a GitHub discussion here.

https://github.com/Yellow-Dog-Man/Resonite-Issues/discussions/2066

You can also discuss it here on Discord, but we might not check this as often as the GitHub discussion: ⁠Next Development Priority Thread

Anyway, thanks all for now! Thank you for your time reading this and filling it out, it will help us a lot to know where it's best to direct our focus to make most impact and help this platform grow and make it more enjoyable!

2024.5.7.505 - Rich presence settings, texture minimum size & more

May 7

Hello! Just a few smaller things from me today + a batch of cool stuff from @probableprime

I've been a bit dizzy through most of today, so I decided to tackle some smaller additions and fixes. This week might be a weaker on updates (and following that there will none for a bit), because I'll be travelling to the US at the end of the week and I'm preparing stuff!

New Features:

- Added Discord integration settings (implemented by @probableprime, issue #1738)
-- This currently allows controlling level of rich presence data shared
- Added Steam integration settings (implemented by @probableprime, issue #1738)
-- This allows controlling the levle of rich presence data shared
-- You can also toggle if you want in-game screenshots to be shared with Steam or not

- Added TeleportBlock component which prevents teleporting onto objects tagged with it (requested by @pollygeist, implemented by @probableprime, issue #1921)

- Added mechanism to manually register GigglePucks & always treat them as connected even if they're not detected on the network (based on report by @ryuvi, issue #1839 and request by @me_sideways)

- Add MinSize on StaticTexture2D which allow specifying the minimum size that the texture should be at (based on request by @gareth48, @shrikealvaron, @dustysprinkles, @flamesoulisand @spexcat, issue #1979)
-- This size overrides user's minimum texture setting
-- IMPORTANT: This is only for cases when it's absolutely necessary for the texture to be at this resolution - e.g. textures that encode data for ProtoFlux or when the texture would result in ineligible text that's important. You SHOULD NOT use otherwise - let the users choose their level of detail when they can
-- The loaded size will never be larger than the original texture. You can specify large number to ensure it's always at original resolution

- Add setting for auto-loading cloud home on start in the Profile section (requested by @shrikealvaron, issue #1986)

- Added internal command for granting storage awards from competitions and other events (implemented by @probableprime)

Tweaks:

- Added warning to the account website about missing functionality (implemented by @probableprime, requested by @dantetucker)
- Split new session notifications between contact & public sessions (requested by @epiceaston197, issue #1966)

Locale:

- Merged Chinese locale update by @flower_elf and modimobeikete
- Merged Korean locale update by @mirpasec
- Merged Japanese locale update by @.aesc

Bugfixes:

- Fix interactive/streamer camera not hiding custom badges (reported by @tahvostudio, @grayboltwolf, @shadowpanther, issue #1992)
- Fix package collision for Hardware.Info & update to the latest version
-- This might fix users getting randomly logged out due to this library failing to load, resulting in different UID, which invalidates current login token (reported by @j4.lc, @ohzee, @readun, @banane9, @shadowpanther, gameboycjp, @grayboltwolf and @exothewicker, issue #1924)

2024.5.3.526 - Texture default filtering hotfix

May 3

I noticed a small thing, where new textures would still default to bilinear, so this is a quick hotfix for that.

Compatible with previous build.

Update STRONGLY recommended if you're building any new content (or just manually set all textures filtering to null, otherwise they'll be stuck at bilinear)

Tweaks:

- Default new textures filtering to null
-- This makes them use the user default filtering in settings
