NOTE: PLEASE LISTEN TO ME , ONLY ONE TIME! - RESET ALL YOUR SETTINGS OR YOU MIGHT GET RRRREAAAL EVIL PROBLEMS WITH RLV , REZZING ETC
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Nirans Viewer and delete the user_settings folder!
make sure to do a backup!

this Test Build comes again with a HUUUUGE amount of changes  , so lets start
the most notable thing is probably the new IM Control Panel i made , i completly redid it aswell as the Conversations Floater to fit this new Control Panel and cuz i was happy and people want customisation i also added the abbility to switch between vertical (new default) and horizontal tabs

then we have the big task to implement RLVa ,... i´ll say it simple: Its done and functional! :O it took me extremly stressing 10 minutes to implement it and fix it the merge errors , a really REEEEALLY HUGE thanks to Kitty Barnett who was so nice to give me a completly done patch file for the whole RLVa , which saves me from checking all 1000+ files manually and merging all lines

*aplauds to Kitty*
Thank you so much!

please have a laugh with me Kitty, at this pic i made with RLVa Game items!

i mean , isnt that a reason to go totally high and drunken?

heres also a Video of me running around totally high and drunken with RLVa xD



back to Customisation , i added the abbility to customise the Topbar even more! you can now enable/disable all 4 Topbar texture layers , layer by layer... for if you want a more transparent topbar or a completly transparent one!

theres also the possibility to disable the top toolbar to give floaters the space up there back , so they can be moved to the topbar (see first pic)



the UI has had some maintenance too , i aligned and eye-candy´d some sidebar floaters to make them look more readable , less space missusing and look better in overall

(left is new / right is old)

also a really ninja-like bug sneaked into my Viewer (which came from my new Topbar layout) which i fixed aswell , the X Y and Z Coordinates at the top screen part were hidden behind the Topbar itself making it nearly impossible to read them , no i assasinated this ninja

for gods sake ...and the failure of Local Bitmaps 2.0 i implemented the Local Bitmap Browser like Firestorm has it until Local Bitmaps 2.0 works again!

Next section is the render pipeline , Runatai has made some fixes which all have been included , as example the bug that caused this to look wrong

the most notable thing in the render pipeline will be the new SSAO settings and the according new SSAO which forced me to redo them , so please use the default SSAO settings ok? otherwise it will look ugly

heres a comparison of old / new
