Release 1.39 (1277)

IMPORTANT: If you are experiencing black flickering flies on sculpties , clear your settings and cache!
NOTE: Not saved transparency settings is NOT a bug! you have to edit the transparency , then select the color picker and just press ok , the color picker is important as it sets the color , NOT the transparency slider!

Phew...
it was a real pain , i was about to pull everything together and suddenly people came out of their holes and nuked me with bugs everywhere.... darn... one worse than the other , i cannot release with the knowledge that those showstoppers exist , so i had to fix them first!

but finally , half a day too late... Release 1.39 coming with lots of homebrew fixes!

User Interface:

Niran hit really hard here... really really hard , some of you might have seen my "secret" project already which wasnt that secret then anymore.... well i cannot keep such awesome news sorry , i can only keep booring secrets like you murdered someone ...something like that...but Graphics? , User Interface? no way of beeing quiet! anyway , my "secret" project was a little revival of the Sidebar known from Viewer 2 , but stripped down and redesigned from scratch for Machinima use , its called , The Machinima Sidebar! tadaaaa



what is it? basically a panel like the sidebar which slides into your User Interface and reveals lots of important options for Photography and Machinima! how does it work? Space Magic! , however in this release it will push Toolbars , Floaters , IMs and your IM Chiclets away and will retract them on hiding , next week i will release the second version of it that acts like shown in the video , as overlay which will not slide into your UI , it will slide OVER your UI , not pushing anything aside , but it will overlap chiclets , maybe toolbars and floaters depending on where they are placed and what screen resolution you use

Theres more , i temporarly moved the Progressscreen below the UI and on top of world rendering , that will cause your Viewer to appear while TPing , so dont worry , thats not a bug , i will later add the ability to switch that to old behavior where the UI is hidden during TP , for those (like me) that do not want the UI in a progressscreen...

Optimizer floater has been removed , the machinima sidebar is now the "new" Optimizer

The place profile has been revamped....well better said it has been taken from my old Kirstens mod.... im curious why no one ever noticed that... me included...

I added Texture Refresh and Inspect to some missing places in non-pie menus and pie menus and translated them aswell as the rest that were missing

oh , probably a very funny but maybe buggy feature is the ability to switch the tools floater to old layout via a simple checkbox option in User Interface - Customisation , in Experimental section below Experimental login in page , it will need a relog!

one of the most enjoying things before you even log in , specially for new users is that media sound now works in login page , meaning that my video will FINALLY play with music! , go and watch it again , it feels different with that sad music!
for those that cannot watch it for some reason , i recorded it :)



oh and before i forget , yes , the blue topbar and sidebar are default now , dont be surprised , i think it looks very nice so i´ve set it as default , you can however revert it back to black if you want

Bugfixes:

Recently i checked my log because someone had a problem again... and what i found...was everything else than funny , error lines.....warning lines... thousands of them.... crazy , so much widgets that cannot be found because i revamped the UI and didnt reflect those changes in code , alot as been done now , the log should be WAY more error/warning free on initial start and User Interface initialisation resulting in a cleaner log , maybe a bit faster Viewer , sometimes a bit less code meaning a smaller and cleaner Viewer , and less bug stacks that might lead to a crash or more bugs :)

Rendering:

Only trivial changes have been done here , nothing you will notice anyway , i just removed the old hoverglow feature which was introduced with Viewer 2 and were also available in Kirstens S19 (which worked way better there than in V2) because it didnt work with shaders anymore , if it ever gets fixed , tell me , i would be more than happy to reimplement it!
