We have just released a new update for ChilloutVR on the stable branch.
ChilloutVR 2023r172
This update contains the following major changes:
Voice chat System:
We have made further changes to the voice chat system in order to improve performance and stability.
These changes are not compatible with the previous version. So we urge everyone to update as soon as possible.
Menu Rendering System:
We improved the resource usage of the menus when they were not in use, leading to improved performance.
Improved Animator Driver behavior:
If the animator driver is not in the main Avatar animator, it is considered a misc animator and is local only, the same as putting it in a world.
If a driver runs on a Spawnable, only the owner sets the spawnable value, remote users will still set an animator value.
If the local-only bool is checked, the driver will only run for the wearer of the avatar, or for the owner of the spawnable- remotes will not set an animator value.
World Custom Collision:
With CCK 3.6 You can now capture your world collision matrix to be applied in-game.
New Layers:
The new CCK brings new Layers for prop makers.
Layer 6: PassPlayer
This Layer will Block Default but lets players through.
Layer 7: BlockPlayer
This Layer will Block Players but lets the Default Layer pass through.
In general, props will now be able to use the following layers:
0: Default
1: TransparentFX
2: Ignore Raycasts
4: Water
5: UI
6: PassPlayer
7: BlockPlayer
12: Camera Only
If a prop contains an object on a different layer, it will be moved to Default.
