What’s up Spinners,
This was meant to be a quick update to improve our calibration tool, with a little bonus UI polish. It ended up being a huge haul getting the UI looking universally excellent, so sorry for the delay on this patch.
We have now completed the Monstercat DLC levels, which only need backgrounds made for them. We plan to release these with 1.0.
Details below.
UPDATE 12 - CALIBRATION TOOL + NEW UI
HDR UI OVERHAUL
We have redone our entire UI in HDR. It looks shiny and delightful now, including the long neglected MIDI and KB&M mapping screens. Bask once more in the shiny glimmer of a new user-interface.
CALIBRATION TOOL UPDATE
There are a few big changes to the calibration tool. Firstly, you can now calibrate at any time during play, as the tool will appear as an overlay. This is accessible via the pause menu.
Secondly, we now include video calibration alongside audio calibration. Please note this isn’t input calibration, just an adjustment of when the video signal appears (useful for TVs that are slow, or don’t have a game mode).
We have also added a ticker in the calibration menu, so you can adjust your audio and video values and see the effects in real time on the ticker.
We want to include a heatmap somewhere on the wheel in the future.
MP3 SUPPORT
The patents for MP3s are all lapsed so we can officially support using them in customs. Does anyone even use these anymore? Either way, they work now! This should dramatically decrease the size of a custom chart if used.
Note that MP3s have a tiny amount (around 30ms) of silence at the start, a hallmark of the format and something which is unfixable.
