Hi Spinners,
We've had our heads down mainly doing optimisation for Switch and experimenting with some VR stuff. Daverwob has been doing some new levels including a 2Mello track included in this update!
We've also licensed new tracks by Meganeko, modus, Eli Way and two from Akira Complex
Working on some of these tracks lead to Daverwob requesting some much needed editor updates from Steve including proper swing support. More changes meant this snowballed into a pretty big editor update.
We hope you enjoy this mixed update! Details below.
Version 1.05
FEATURES
- New track! Cold Rock it by 2 Mello - a sick breakbeats / drum and bass tune with a smooth “secret ending”. This tune unlocks at level 8.
- Editor update!
- Scroll the timeline with the mouse wheel! (modifiers such as alt and shift work too)
- Zoom in and out with Ctrl + mouse wheel!
- Change timeline subdivisions with + and - keys; no more messing with time signatures! Your current selected subdivision level is shown on the editor left panel, and this hotkey can be remapped
- All keyboard keys can now be held for a stacking effect (to avoid repetitive tasks ie moving notes)
- Track turns are enabled for level editors!
> Change to the flight path using the button on the left panel, or the tilde key ~
> WSAD and QE to set and adjust a flight path F to extend and Shift + F to retract
> Shift + arrows to select multiple, Ctrl + arrows to move, also delete, copy and paste work
- P and Shift + P can be used in the clip info editor to slow down time
- Arrow keys are now supported for granular movement (with snapping!) in the clip info editor
- New calibration tool!
- You can now tap along to a tap note string to more accurately set your calibration
- Separate audio / visual calibration is available
- All wheel options are now testable in the options menu by clicking on the wheel “practice area”
- 4 New RemiXD levels! I See Lite (Swago), The Kraken (TreXDer), Revenger (HyperDash) and Air On Line (Pick)
POLISH
- Experience a fancy new 3D spinning menu logo
- New taskbar icon!
- Added a popup window explaining RemiXD difficulty on first unlock
- Options sliders now operate as left = lower, right = higher (instead of the current touch-screen style)
- Added a few new options menu tooltips
- Polished the beat hold release effect to better match its look pre-particle refactor update
- Wheel sensitivity (previously a very small number) is now properly displayed in input settings
- Editor: timeline subdivisions are now only shown on editable area
- Editor: All drop down options can now be scrolled and activated using arrow keys and return key - this allows for fast checking of background / colour combinations
- Editor: clip info editor fields can now be “tabbed” through (using arrow keys)
- Editor: the layout of the left panel has been improved with some redundant data removed
- Editor: hotkeys are displayed more clearly now (with modifier keys coming before hotkeys)
- Editor: you can now change the colour of hold notes by pressing C with any tail note selected
BUGS
- Fixed a bug where changing track speed override could look buggy
- Fixed a bug where entering practice mode and hitting N would jump ahead 2 sections instead of 1
- Fixed a bug where when deleting a track with a difficulty filter active, the chart focus would jump to the top of the list (it now jumps to the next chart in the list)
- Fixed a bug where “Green House” UI skin could have no highlight colour
- Fixed a bug where “Up To 11 Minutes” achievement could be completed with “no fail mode” turned on
- Fixed a bug where the HUD would disappear after failing a track and then entering the options menu
- Fixed “Don’t Give Up” achievement not popping
- Fixed a bug where editor timeline subdivisions would not display when zoomed out beyond a certain distance
- Fixed a bug where tabbing through difficulties in the note editor didn’t register very small f-step movements
- Fixed a bug where using options sliders could cause a memory leak
- Fixed a bug where using G in practice mode would ignore the set looping sections
- Fixed broken leaderboards (One Esk Nineteen Hard, Expert)
- Fixed broken leaderboards (The Kraken all difficulties - the tempo map was redone)
- Fixed a bug where enabling “rotating joystick controls” would break other inputs
- Fixed a bug where a glow effect was showing on one side of the wheel
- Fixed a bug where entering practice mode while in edit mode would maintain the editor overlay
- Fixed percentage display rounding up (it now truncates correctly)
