What's Changed

ChatBoxV3

This is it! ChatBoxV3 is a brand new system built to support everything that anyone's suggested!

It can:

• Show multiple modules' variables in the same string.
• Provide support for events (Media now playing can now show up for X seconds!)
• Provide complete customisation for the 60 second timeline loop, where you control the priority and time of every clip
• Provide live updates for customisation while modules are running

A standardisation pass has been done on all variables provided by the modules so that there are no longer different delimitators for ChatBox formats. What was previously %% and $$ is now uniformly {}. All module variables available to a specific clip are listed in the screen

As with any change this large, your previous ChatBoxV2 (module based) settings will be lost. There's no way for me to do a conversion due to how different the systems are.

A lot of work has gone into this in the backend to make it as easy to use as possible.
More updates will be coming in the near future to improve the UX of the screen, as well as some inevitable bug fixes.
I'm super proud of it, feedback is very much welcomed.

New Module: AFK

• Allows for a ChatBox string to be displayed when you are (or aren't) AFK.
• 2 variables have been provided for the amount of time you've been AFK, or the time when you went AFK
• This is based off VRC's provided isAFK animator parameter

Other Changes

• Allow for tab switching even when modules are running
• Add weather condition to Weather module
• Fix synchronous hang when modules start
• Add more variables to Media
• Add smoothing filter to all Heartrate modules
• Add HeartrateNormalised bound editing
• Completely decoupled the Module base class from Component to simplify external module creation
• Refactored ModuleManager to allow for an infinite number of sources opening the doors for future sources (such as the internet)
• Warn for non-initialised Media hook. This should give an indication as to whether you need to restart your PC or not
• Updated libraries
  • osu!framework had an update to provide support for all different kinds of renderers so VRCOSC should be more performant on older computers and be less GPU heavy when in VR

What's Changed

External module support!

VRCOSC now supports externally made modules. Head over to the Module Creation doc on the wiki to get started with installing a template and creating a module.

As always, I will provide as much help as possible. No feature request is too small to make it easier for you to create a custom module, so please reach out if you'd like something.

OSC Router

OSCRouter is a program that routes network data through other ports to stop port binding issues occurring. This is mainly to help with the fact that VRC only has a single OSC port.

Unfortunately, OSCRouter seems to be quite outdated, and also cannot handle VRCFaceTracking's data. To counter this, I've created my own router and embedded it into VRCOSC as a new screen. Hopefully this should be pretty easy to use and will mean that you can run as many OSC programs as you like while needing 1 less program.

The VRCOSC router will automatically start when the modules are started.

Other Changes

• Updated to use PolySharp to use C#11 features
• Added ticker functionality into ChatBoxText
• Fixed an int text box bug
• Fixed a COMException crash due to media updates
• Modules are now listed in order by type, then by alphabetical order
• Parameter names are now editable again
• Fixed Weather formatting bug when temperature was exactly 0
• Avatar ID is now passed through OnAvatarChange
