Release 1.32

WARNING:

Please DO clear your settings on this release otherwise you will most likely end up with previous glow settings which will cause an extreme neon world with the new shader updates


NOTE:
Please let me also know if stability increased or decreased , aswell as overall performance increases , this Release has been compiled with OpenMP and im not sure if it works or hurts the Viewer in any way

Take the red pill , get a blue one!

User Interface:
The default Login Page has been set to Experimental from now on , that means from now on the background video is default and can be disabled in preferences - viewer - ui , if you havnt seen it you can either check out the last post in which i embedded it OR you can see it yourself in the login screen :)

Gestures can now be set to nearly all alphabetical letters and number keys which is a great way to use HUDs easier!

The Inventory Inbox panel has got some of my modding love , its translated to german aswell!

Same goes for the Outbox which has been modded and translated aswell AND i fixed the language specific initialisation error , you should now be able to initialize & use the merchant outbox in any language on windows and linux if the servers or your connection doesnt cut it before

NOTE: those 2 snaps have been made with German UI which clearly shows that outbox should be functional in other languages now!

Inbox & Outbox checkbox options have been taken out of the Viewer prefs as Inbox will occour automatically and Outbox is an extra floater

All bad or problem causing video options have been tagged with an (!) behind their label to show that carefullness would be good here

Also some more tooltips explaining some more graphical options have been added in this release

Double Click TP and Double Click Autopilot in Movement menu have been fixed , you can now normally turn on/off Doubleclick TP via shortcut!

Something that has been a bug since a very looooong time and as far as i know no other Viewer hasnt fixed (probably not even noticed) that IM Session Titles and IM History Titles can only show both Display and Username or just the Username , i finally fixed it (headaches @.@) depending on your settings you will now be able to have Usernames , Displaynames or Displaynames (user.names) in both titles!

You can now also finally disable attached particles and lights (facelights etc) via Graphics panel in Deferred Rendering YAY!

Movement:
This is going to hurt for you i know and thats the reason i do a tutorial about it how to revert it if you want, from now on (until i change it again or make it switchable via UI) you will be able to walk left with A and right with D instead of just rotating like it is (still) with the arrow keys , no need to hold Shift anymore , instead Shift will now change the controls back and make you rotate with A and D as long as you hold Shift.

If you want to revert that behavior , simply go into the Nirans Viewer unpack folder which should normally something like:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Nirans Viewer
or
C:\Program Files\Nirans Viewer
if you are on a 32bit OS
from there go into the folder called app_settings and open the file keys.xml with notepad or any other text editing program you wish , now find those 2

binding key="A" mask="NONE" command="slide_left"
binding key="D" mask="NONE" command="slide_right"
in "third_person" section and change the commands to rotate , it should then look like:

binding key="A" mask="NONE" command="turn_left"
binding key="D" mask="NONE" command="turn_right"
also dont forget to change

binding key="A" mask="SHIFT" command="turn_left"
binding key="D" mask="SHIFT" command="turn_right"
back to

binding key="A" mask="SHIFT" command="slide_left"
binding key="D" mask="SHIFT" command="slide_right"
which will turn A and D back to turn left/right and Shift + A/D back to walk left/right like it was before
please tell me what you think about this change , its even hard for me to get used to it but im making progress , so i might revert it back if its a step to far over the edge

Rendering:
The MOST IMPORTANT thing as first , SHADOWS ON ALPHAS! again...yay , i merged back n forth and fixed the alpha shadow issue , now we can haz shadows back on alphas! - lots of alphas looked HORRIBLE in dark sky presets in shadows because they were like fullbright....

I changed the glow and depth of field default settings to 1. prevent the newest changes from making the world glow like a neon world and 2. have a little bit of athmosperic look through a bit stronger and sooner starting depth of field which should slightly but softly blur out objects on distance!

Bugfixes:
As usual some tiny bugfixes like a not correct recognized ATI card , some ATI shader compilation failures , object discriptions which couldnt be deleted and some fixes for some memory leaks when selecting certain stuff =D

Snapshots:

isnt it cute? and it looks totally awesome too!

Tali! Wtf are you doing here?

Insilico is a good background!

as always i hope you enjoy my Viewer,

remember im putting a lot of love and time into it

no money can pay that!
