Disclaimer

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 64x - Update 5.6.0 "Favorite Dragon"

We back baby!

Does this update contain:
A: Changes?
B: Fixes?
C: Features?

The answer is: ALL OF THE ABOVE. (And probably new crashes)

HORRAY... not for the crashes.

Either way. Several crash fixes for the Pose Creator. Starting, Stopping, Previewing, all resulting in crashes... NO MORE. As a bonus, it should no longer break and corrupt your attachment slots anymore either!

Crashing on uploading .ANIM files? BEGONE.

I CAST <b>FIREBALL</b>

Crash died.
Crash died.
Crash died.
Crash died.
Crash died.

Wait, 5 crashes died? Yup. A startup crash was there too somewhere.

What else? We got 400 changes! Well idk what they are. They are Linden stuff. No one cares, they probably gonna break sum of ma shit!
"Niran, did you put features into the Black Dragon Update?" Dumbledore asked calmly... with the force of a thousand suns.

"Yes!" *puts on shades*

SMAA T2x, aka SMAA + Temporal Reprojection (essentially like TAA but less ghosty, woooooohooohhooo).
You can now also toggle off dates in snapshot names. Hopefully.
And finally... there's a secret.


WUHUHUUAHAUAHAUA.

CHANGES! Improvements! They are all the same.

Better Screen Space Reflections, working in High Resolution Snapshots now!
Better (hopefully) Chromatic Aberration.
Better shadow blur weeeeeee!



Certainly a spectacular release. Not so spectacular is that the Inventory issue might still be around. I don't know. Hopefully not.
