Amethyst Technical Preview (KTVR1.0.2.1)

Amethyst v1.0.2.1 Technical Preview

Short Commit ID: 9ea9886 (Amethyst)

In case you wanted to know what's changed since 0.9...
Better ask what's NOT been changed. But that'd be stupid

Setup instructions are also available on discord
For help with, please hit 公彦赤屋先#5023 or #development

Pre-requisites (You need these to run the app):

• Install VCRedist 2022
• Install .NET 6 Desktop
• Install the latest Windows App SDK Runtime
  IMPORTANT:
  • Enable developer mode in Windows
    (Go to: Settings→For developers→Developer Mode)
  • Run the installer file as Admin, it's very important!

Actually doing the thing:

• Turn off the K2EX/KinectToVR driver in SteamVR add-ons
  If you don't do this, when setting up Amethyst's driver, SteamVR will crash on launch, blocking your access to the add-ons list, and you would need to edit %localappdata%\openvr\openvrpaths.vrpath by hand to remove the KinectToVR driver.

  This happens because glog (the logging library used in the K2EX driver and in the Amethyst driver alike)
  gets loaded into the OpenVR assembly, but it can only be loaded once. So when the K2EX driver tries to
  load after Amethyst's. Everything explodes.
  
  Considering this, if you rename the name entry in the vrdrivermanifest for the K2EX driver so it's
  alphabetically before Amethyst, like `0kinecttovr` then Amethyst will load second and take over the
  existing glog instance.
  

• Download the ZIP from the latest release.

• Create a new folder, e.g. C:\Amethyst

• Extract the contents of the release ZIP into that new folder.
  In the case of the example folder, you would end up with C:\Amethyst\Amethyst.exe

• Once Amethyst is launched, Click re-register SteamVR driver and follow the prompts.

It's unsupported but please help me anyway!!!

Before asking for help with unsupported beta release software, try these:

The app doesn't start after updating it.

Update the Windows App SDK Runtime the app is built against the latest version (except in cases of build failure) You can always refer to the release "changelog" to know which version is used.

My SteamVR gives me Error 203 and won't start no matter what I do.

You have the Amethyst and K2EX drivers enabled at the same time. They use the same logging library and conflict with each other on startup, causing the entirety of the SteamVR backend to crash.
Close SteamVR, then either delete or edit %localappdata%\openvr\openvrpaths.vrpath if your file says null in it after you edited it, go learn JSON, and WTF are you doing on GitHub????

I have some other unrelated issue.

Unless you're actually braindead, you may possibly have run into a bug, reporting those is important to building a stable application for release. See just below on how to report bugs.

Important!
You have to update the driver too, or everything's gonna break big time

Amethyst tracking stutters every 15s!
Sorted out and waiting for the next release push. In the meantime, please uncheck the
Check for and disable already existing trackers checkbox in the Settings page.

Note: Please disable/unregister K2EX's (KinectToVR) driver in SteamVR
as it's being quite hostile when it comes to forwarding logs, and kills Amethyst & SteamVR.
If you really really want to have both K2EX and Amethyst running at once,
you have to change K2EX's (KinectToVR) driver "name" property to 0KinectToVR
inside K2EX's (KinectToVR) driver's .vrdrivermanifest file (probably at C:/K2EX/KinectToVR)

Note: Amethyst >=1.0.1.8 uses different protocol addresses
and won't work with the previous SteamVR/OpenVR drivers.

Time for your move:

We're currently localizing (translating) Amethyst, crash handler and devices.
If you know (or someone, you know, knows?) more languages than English
(preferably intermediate), please consider committing to the project.
You can find the instructions, FAQ, and files here

Important:

Described upper, Amethyst is now being slowly localized.
If pages are loading way slower than they should, please:

1. Ignore that, it may be fixed soon enough
2. Consider buying a faster/better drive

WASDK was updated to 1.1, so make sure install/update it

You can register VR manifests and enable AutoStart with SteamVR inside Amethyst.

As for now, the road to the official release goes like:

• (Maybe) Strengthened filtering in near-flip and near-laying conditions
• Some funny docs about AmethystのAnythingVR

Changes after v1.0.2.0

• Crash handler and logging tweaks
• Calibration points number should now be loaded properly
• Cosmetic: The NavigationView isn't "stuttering" anymore
• Reset/Restart is now using proper WindowsAppSDK methods

These changes were already included in a hotfix:

• Fixed owoTrackVR plugin settings not loading occasionally
• Fixed KinectV1 plugin settings not appearing the first run
• We're back to forcing vampire (dark) mode on you, it's just better

Changes after v1.0.1.9

Amethyst's core was completely rewritten (Though it may not seem like)
Trackers are now stored within a resizable vector, and you can dynamically
add/manage/remove them. The corresponding UI elements were
un-hardcoded and moved to new object wrapper classes. Additionally,
the calibration was redesigned to suit the whole app's design [^Ella]
Generally, a lot of backend stuff has been changed since.

Reports:

• Record the issue (or at least describe it as well as you can)
• Send us the log files from %AppData%/Amethyst/logs

WASDK was updated to 1.1, so make sure install/update it

App window now looks and acts a bit different, control buttons are now the same on both win11&10
Added Mica backdrop effect (Windows 11 only) like in Windows 11 apps (like Settings, Store, e.t.c.)

You can now register VR manifests and enable AutoStart with SteamVR inside Amethyst.
In previous & this release, PSMS was reworked a bit, thanks to Externet

Changes after v1.0.1.8

We've begun moving the strings used in the UI to various resources (.resw)
This will allow localizing Amethyst for several new languages.
(Note: Interface language is selected automagically by Windows)
For now, the only localized thing is the crash handler (to 'fr-FR')
As for Amethyst, there are plenty of hidden things we want to test first.
Other changes: Amethyst API now uses wide strings;
freeze button was moved to GeneralPage; the rest is hidden

Reports:

• Record the issue (or at least describe it as well as you can)

Time for your move:

As you may read in Changes after v1.0.1.8, we're currently during
the process of localizing (translating) Amethyst and K2CrashHandler.
If you know (or someone, you know, knows?) more languages than English
(preferably intermediate), please consider committing to the project.
We'll start asking more widely and provide the files after the next release.

Important:

Described upper, Amethyst is midway during the localizing process.
If pages are being loaded way slower than they should, please:

1. Ignore that, it may be fixed soon enough
2. Consider buying a faster/better drive

Everything (or at least a bigger part) in the project has been renamed
from KinectToVR or KinectToVR (Amethyst) to just Amethyst
Aside from unhealthy speculations, this may have caused some things
and dependencies to break. Don't hesitate to tell/report to us
if you see so (e.g. no big ame icon in the info/credits page)

PSMoveService Crashes

The device plugin's been linked to a different CAPI version from the one in files.
Temporary fix:
Replace the CAPI dll in devices/PSMoveSer vice/bin/win64 with the one from the previous release (ONLY THE CAPI DLL FILE) OR from https://github.com/psmoveservice/PSMoveService/releases/tag/v0.9-alpha9.0.1 and wait for 1.0.1.6

Amethyst Technical Preview (Ame97)

KinectToVR v1.0.1.1 / Ame97 Technical Preview

Short Commit ID: 996421f (K2App)

This is the last release before a full versioning system change.
With it, the UI's app name will be changed from the codename
to the real one (KinectToVR / KTVR / K2App).

In case you wanted to know what's changed since 0.9...
You better ask what's NOT been. Yeah. Just the name...

Setup instructions are also available on discord
