I know i'm a bit slow atm but keeping the Viewer up to date, maintaining it, fixing stuff and basically redoing everything you've done already proves a bit more of a time waste than i thought, especially if you're feeling an increased need to play some games here and there.
This is also the last update before i will focus on heavier UI modifications, which also include totally redoing the Preferences floater, i'm not entirely sure if it will stay a floater this time or if i'm going to do that Sidebar thing i was originally planning.... but hey, we'll see.
So....this update comes with alot of CHUI bugfixing aswell as MAINT, NORSPEC (Materials) and general bugfixes (BUG and, CHOP) and ofcourse my own rotation of changes. See the changelog for a complete list of changes.
General:
I squashed alot of bugs, like the Chat Range Rings not working correctly, the Topbar background going nuts on Mouselook/Minilocationbar switch, "Busy Mode" not working (its called 'Do not disturb' now), the empty Local Chat tab in Conversations beeing selected whenever you opent he seperated Local Chat floater among a few other things.
I also merged CHUI, Viewer Development, Cocoa and brought everything up to date.
Some cleanups inbetween (not too much right now as i will do that later in maintenance updates) and generally some small changes here and there that should give back a bit more of a 'Nirans' feeling...things like Reset View will not change your Camera Preset anymore, some layout changes in the Script floater and Machinima Sidebar aswell as some options that were removed due to them beeing obselete and/or not working anymore.
Rendering:
Best change for you probably is the implementation of Screen Space Reflections (again) from Tofu, which can also be toggled on/off just like before. Internally it is now using a permutation system (basically an shader file if/else system connectable with Debug Settings or Viewer internal code) which will also allow new little neat tricks in future :)
Also Tone Mapping defaults were slightly changed for a slightly nicer and especially brighter look to match non Tone Mapping a bit more.
Sometimes i would like to give the sky a slighly more blueish touch, not for me, just so you stop complaining about 'washed out' colors.
Snapshots:
Anyway, enjoy this brand new update.
Niran.
