Black Dragon is MY Viewer, i decide which feature i want to add and which to remove, i share this Viewer to show the world that user base size is not important, i do rate quality by effort, thought and love put into the project, not some rough estimated numbers. I consider feature requests only if i you can name proper valid reasons i can agree on. It is my (unpaid) time i'm putting into this project, i'm not here to cater to every Joe's desires.

Black Dragon Viewer - Update 2.4.2

Update 2.4.2 Confirmed!

There are a bunch of changes coming with this update, a quick rundown is needed!


Multi-line Chat


Long ago when i started Black Dragon this was one of the very first things i removed in CHUI, it is horribly annoying and uses up half of my entire chat history because i tend to use small windows. Now i've re-added Multi-line Chat as option, you can find it in Preferences - Chat. I'm sorry i forgot about this so often.



Volumetric Light falloff


As promised i worked on making the falloff kick in smoothly instead of just suddenly appearing with no way to turn it down to minimal levels. Light Falloff will now go down to 0.1 in both the Machinima Sidebar and Preferences.


Hover Height


Yup. It's in there. You can now right-click your AV or attachment and select "Hover Height", a new floater with a slider will appear allowing you to permanently set your hover height, regardless of your shape and action, that means it also works while sitting on objects and stays over sessions. It's serverside and only people with this feature will see the changes.


Misc


There's quite a huge list of changes and fixes, including, depth of field and glow no longer turning off when clicking HUD's (yay), texture memory sliders working again, camera angle working again, a fix for the picture in picture issue some of you experienced, the sidebar button not working, a fix for "nolink>" and all other of my added commands that were malfunctioning as well as a huge bunch of LL changes.


I also installed the English version of WinRar 5, the installer should be English now.

You might also want to listen to the new Drax Files Radio episode, Drax interviewed me, you might find it interesting to hear my annoying voice.


Snapshots







Changelog


Added: Ability to toggle single-line mode in local and IM.
Added: Multi Line Chat option to preferences.
Changed: Make environment changes persistant across logins by default.
Changed: Depth of Field Resolution to 1.0 by default.
Changed: Raised Light Brightness max value to 30 up from 15.
Changed: Adjusted Hover Height floater.
Changed: Make light falloff step in smooth instead of suddenly appearing.
Changed: Allow Light Brightness slider to go down to 0.1 and up to 60 now that the falloff is smooth.
Changed: Lowered max value for Light Resolution slider down to 128, everything higher doesn't make any noticable visual difference.
Fixed: Compile.

Fixed: Chat going into multi-line mode even in single-line mode when copying text into the chatbar.
Removed: Camera is underwater condition for depth of field. It is supported by default since Materials.
Removed: Don't try to calculate the world view without UI because we use the entire window for world rendering anyway.

  1. Excellent work as always, but here's just a heads-up: the current version of Avast detects this as malware (Win32: Evo-gen). I have sent them a report about it.
