NOTE: This update is relatively large. If you experience a **freeze after starting motion capture**, it is usually caused by a Link's data is corrupted **delete the problematic Link** and **recreate it** should solve the issue.
Major Updates
The Link no longer displays a CMD window during startup, and startup speed has been improved.
Ultra Tracking Mode for wrist-to-mouse has been temporarily removed. A new "Ultra Tracking Mode" has been added in The Link's "Settings", which can simultaneously track fingers and full-body movement (higher performance requirement). When enabled, custom hand gesture training can be added to any Link. You may enable or disable this mode depending on your model performance.
Added "Head Horizontal Rotation" Input, You can download and check the examples in "Basic Template" in The Link Setting, *Browse Models*. Adjust the input and output parameters to achieve smooth and natural head-controlled camera movement.
Keyboard recording now includes "Recording with Time Interval", which preserves the exact press and release timing of both keyboard and mouse input.
Added "Gamepad Output"(experimental): You can assign gamepad output to a specific Link. The required virtual gamepad driver will auto-install on first use. A hardware controller developed by MasonX that can interacts directly with Link logic is coming soon.
Page Toggle and Link Toggle now support **delayed activation and delayed deactivation**. (Note: When using multiple outputs, execution order follows top-to-bottom list order.)This provides finer control when toggling states dynamically.
Keyboard recording now supports **Speech-to-Text**. This simply calls the native Windows Speech-to-Text API. Huge thanks to **Pokeytoes** and **VVRunner** for this amazing discovery.
Experience Improvements
Voice recognition engine has been rewritten. Recognition response is faster. Try to avoid very short command phrases.If speech recognition is unavailable, The Link will auto-diagnose and show possible causes.
New Link Controller output now default set to **Hold** mode.
Wrist to mouse output now also defaults set to **Hold** mode.
Recording window now stays reliably on top of borderless games when recording poses or selecting trigger areas.
Improved coordination between link control instructions to reduce interference.
New improved new-user Guide.
For First-time installation Users, Default Turn off voice command change from "System off" to "System deactivate"
For First-time installation Users, Now get a new optimized **MasonX Favorites** preset.
On non-English systems, The Link will automatically switch the input method to English during key recording.
Performance and Stability
Cleanup speed on software exit has been significantly improved, reducing lingering background processes.
Optimized performance degradation that could occur after repeatedly opening and closing Link UI windows.
Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue where disabling mirror mode could cause auto-activation to fail.
Fixed an issue where deleting a Link without unchecking associated connections could cause a software freeze.
Fixed an issue where hover tooltips did not update immediately after saving a Link.
Fixed hover tooltips not reflecting real-time key logic changes.
Fixed an issue where creating a new model could reset auto-activation or raise-hands-to-exit to voice control mode.
Fixed occasional missing repeat-click symbols and hold indicators.
During recording, if a key is held while the mouse leaves the recording area, the release action is now completed automatically.
