Etterna 0.67.1 - Hotfix

[0.67.1] - 2019-12-23

See the comprehensive changelog in detail here (for people who want to see every little detail, otherwise continue reading)

Note

As always, back up the stuff you don't want to lose.

Changes/Updates

• The Random Song pickers (click Select Music or the current song group) should now properly consider the fact that you may have filtered out Songs. This means you can search and then hit the random button, and it always works.
• Removed the BPM/Tempo adjustments thing from Gameplay because nobody uses it.
  • If you used it, why?

Fixes

• Autosync Song stopped working in some cases for some people on some Songs, but should be good now
• CDTitles stopped updating because it's like a forgotten older sibling of Chart Preview
  • Style changes across Song changes didn't update properly when using Chart Preview
• Chart Preview completely forgot to exist when changing Songs and Difficulty at the same time
• Chart Preview disappeared when unfavoriting
• Chart Preview restarted when favoriting
• Chart Preview sucked when toggling
• Chart Preview worked correctly in some cases
• Evaluation didn't set Judge correctly on local Replays when it could have, so now it at least tries. The Judge in Gameplay won't match the Evaluation Judge, but the Evaluation Judge should match the score.
  • This won't apply for online scores almost always
  • This won't work for custom windows
• NoteSkin Preview in Player Options didn't take into account any Game other than Dance
  • Should work for pump, beat, and kb7 now
  • Only 4 columns of the Games are used, in a chosen order (look in the fallback scripts if you want to change it)
• Player 2 revived and it has been killed again (they could still hit Mines in Gameplay again)
• Rare Playmode crashes on gameplaysync screen
• Replays can desync in some rare cases. When this happens, the Player would start tapping notes at impossible distances
  • Now, the Player always taps the exact note that should be judged instead of picking any note at any distance
• Replays stopped applying Mirror correctly, but should now
• Toasties disappeared and you could still hear them in Practice, but now you can see them when they make noise always

Developer Updates

• Lua has access to Display Refresh Rate
• Lua has access to Replay Judge from the Evaluation Screen
• Music Wheel keeps track of the list of Songs after filtering, Lua has access to it

Etterna 0.67.0 - Translation Support, Replay Fixes, and Practice Updates

[0.67.0] - 2019-12-16

See the comprehensive changelog in detail here (for people who want to see every little detail, otherwise continue reading (I will admit that I wrote this one retroactively for the most part so some things might be missing))

Note

We changed the installer again. Bet you didn't see that coming. The changes are small. The installer will no longer name the installation folder Etterna 0.67 and will just use Etterna. This means you should be careful installing stuff as usual. That also means you should allow the uninstaller for the previous version to run as intended. It should only remove things that you did not add yourself. If you modified game files that were already there, however, those will be lost.
Things you would want to backup: specific Assets, specific Noteskins, all of Save. For the more paranoid or advanced users, backup Songs, Screenshots, and Cache.
Keep in mind that it has always been a feature of the game to allow you to load songs from a particular directory outside the game. In /Save/Preferences.ini the option AdditionalSongFolders= will let you give an absolute path to a directory which contains packs. For example, you could set it to AdditionalSongFolders=C:\OldInstallations\Etterna\Songs
In addition to that installer change, the shortcut that used to be shipped with the game is back. And we don't ask you to put the game into PATH anymore.

The uninstaller may fail for some. If this happens, just make sure your important stuff is backed up and perhaps consider installing into a completely new folder instead. It doesn't hurt to install in a new folder every time an update is released. Installing in a new folder will ensure that the core parts of the game are up to date.

Anyways here's 0.67.0. It's like the previous versions of Etterna but with more features, bugs, and stuttering*

New Features/Updates

• Player Overall calculation no longer drops the lowest skillset and is an average of all skillsets
• Translation support for almost all of Til Death & additional internal strings

  • If Score-invalidating Mods are enabled, text shows on the Screen at the start of Gameplay for an additional 2 seconds indicating which Mods will invalidate the score
  • Uncapped FPS gains: somewhere in the hundreds
  • Re-enabled Noteskin access to the Color parameter, but only if Fast Note Rendering is off. This causes a drop in FPS, so check your options

      • Set a Bookmark by Right Clicking the Graph once or pressing InsertCoin
      • Change to a Loop Region by Right Clicking somewhere else or pressing InsertCoin at a new position
      • Change back to a Bookmark by Right Clicking twice in the same spot or doing the same with InsertCoin

      • Press Backspace to immediately jump to the Bookmark or start of the Loop Region
    • Right Click anywhere outside the Graph to Pause or Unpause the music
      • When paused, the Mouse Scroll Wheel will allow you to scroll through the chart at very fine increments
      • Notice how NoteData will not load anywhere in the chart before your current position, thus allowing you to start a Hold/Roll "in progress"
    • Hold Enter for 1 second to exit Practice and go to Evaluation to view your Offsets & Judgments
    • Press Ctrl + Shift + R to reload the Song from disk
    • Press EffectUp/EffectDown to change the Song rate in increments of 0.05x

    • Nearly every tested Replay works as intended with high accuracy (see known issues)
    • Replay Snapshots have been introduced which allow quicker seeking in Replays among other things
    • Seeking to any arbitrary point in a Replay should set the stats to what they really are at that point without causing major lag
    • Replays will attempt to use the Mods that the score was set using except for Noteskin. To disable this, find the option for it in Advanced Options
    • Life Graphs & Combo Graphs are set based on the Replay and not the Gameplay
  • Evaluation
    • Offset Plot can be hovered with the mouse to show the Judgments & WifePercent at that exact point in time
      • Disabled if certain invalidating mods are used (Shuffle)
    • Combo Graph & Life Graph will recalculate based on the Judge you change to when you press EffectUp/EffectDown
      • Disabled if certain invalidating mods are used (Shuffle)
    • Title of the Screen should say "Replay Results" if the HighScore wasn't just now set by the player
    • WifePercent display had an issue where the numbers rounded inconsistently when converting the Judge, but it should be fixed and now consistently be rounded down
• Select Music
  • Theme Lua had some tiny updates to reduce lag
    • Main noticeable thing about it is that button highlighting is slower
    • Privileged users with scroll wheels that can scroll quickly will lag less
    • You may have gained like 5-200 fps
  • Ctrl + L will act as a Login/Logout hotkey for those people who really hate using a mouse
  • Song Search allows searching by subtitle by entering subtitle=
  • New Theme Option called Instant Search. If disabled, requires you to press Enter to search in Song Search. If you lag a lot when typing in search, this option is for you
  • Chart Leaderboards will show the Offset Plot of a Replay if you Left Click the WifePercent

Changes

  • Additive Mines is now invalid. This option replaces entire rows of taps with mines

  • Removed FailAtEnd
    • FailImmediateContinue does the same thing in a better way, so FailAtEnd does not need to exist

    • This occurs if you watch a Replay or View Evaluation
  • Select will not open the Chat Overlay in Multiplayer if Select is used as a modifier key for something else
    • This occurs if you use Select on / and use it to set half-rates
• Select Music

    • These tabs have right click functionality that collides with the Pause functionality

Etterna 0.66.1 - Hotfix

[0.66.1] - 2019-06-13

See the comprehensive changelog in detail here (for people who want to see every little detail, otherwise continue reading)

Note

This is the first release since 0.66.0 using the new installer. If you did not previously install that version or read the changelog for that version, read it first. There are a few critical notes at the top. I'll even give you a link to it.
Otherwise, it should work fine. Remember to backup your Save and any other files you deem important (any files you modified yourself). Allow the installer to uninstall the previous version.

New Features

• MA/PA Ratio Indicators on the Evaluation Screen
• Support for 10k (Pump Doubles) added to CustomizeGameplay

Changes/Updates

• The Chord Cohesion indicator on the Evaluation Screen only shows when it is on
• Pressing Start on the Pack Downloader & Bundle Downloader will no longer exit the Screen immediately
• Random Backgrounds default to Off for new Saves. At some point, this feature became functional and it's just causing issues for people
• Toasties in the Asset Picker will no longer play a sound every time you click or select them. Only when moving the cursor to a new one

Fixes

• ALSA & DirectSound-sw never worked as sound options due to clang formatting and not checking the result thoroughly. Should be good now
• DisplayNames could be set blank, and everyone new to the game had no idea that you could set one anyways because the automatic trigger for it didn't work. Now it does
• Online Rankings & Ratings should properly update now
• Multiplayer Evaluation Scoreboards shouldn't error out anymore
• ScreenTextEntry alignment should be correct now for all cases including the Multiplayer Login screen
• Windows' Window Icon is no longer giant in the Audio Mixer

Developer Updates

• More specific information about Generators has been added to the Building Documentation
• CMake had some slight changes to fix issues with building on Mac & Linux

Etterna 0.66.0 - Asset Picking

[0.66.0] - 2019-06-03

See the comprehensive changelog in detail here.

IMPORTANT NOTE YOU SHOULD READ

Internally, a lot has changed with this version. You will most likely need to fresh install the game. To do this, move your Save and Songs folders somewhere else safe. Move any other folder you like (Noteskins is a valid option as well). Uninstall the original copy or pick a new directory to install this version into.
The Assets Folder has been slightly restructured, so copying yours over if you happen to have any modifications done to it will almost definitely not work.

Another Note
in order to fix select gameplay elements not saving their proper location when using widescreen and customize gameplay (judgment, combo, and tracker) they'll be loaded 5 pixels up and to the right from wherever you had them, if you are using widescreen and you are particular about this change, it can be undone by moving each of the elements one keyboard tick down and to the left (compiler flag)

New Features

• Asset Settings
  In an effort to centralize some popular customization options, we put together this screen.
  • Access from the Profile Tab or by clicking your Avatar
  • Avatars have been reset since we now use a different setting system for them
  • Displays Avatars, Toasties, and Judgments sitting in those respective subdirectories of the Assets folder
  • Double click or press enter on any Asset you want to confirm a selection on
  • Use the arrow keys, EffectUp/EffectDown, or mouse to navigate
  • Added the 2x6 Early/Late Default Judgment as an option
  • Added the old Toasty as an option
  • Toasties can load their own specific Lua file. An example is placed in the Legacy Toasty folder
    • If a custom Lua file is not present, a default one is loaded
  • Toasties must follow a strict naming scheme you can see by following the Legacy Toasty's pattern.
  • Judgments and Avatars may just be placed into their respective folders. Spritesheets (especially for Judgments) still require their appropriate suffix. The Judgements folder has been renamed to judgments for consistency with the rest of the program code so if you had judgments in there you may have to move them.
• ScreenSelectMusic
  • Added a Sort Button you can click if for some reason you can't remember UpDownUpDown
  • Clicking Select Music will select a random song from any pack
  • When on Group Sort, clicking the Pack Name in the top right of the screen will put you on a random song in that pack
  • Toggle Practice Mode by pressing Ctrl + O
  • Chart Leaderboard Entries increase decimal precision when mouse hovering
  • Chart Leaderboard filters CC On scores out by default

  • Lane Cover is in the Color Config
  • compilanym minaflags

Etterna 0.65.1 - Quality Patch

[0.65.1] - 2019-03-10

See the comprehensive changelog in detail here.

Note: If you are upgrading from a version older than 0.65, you should do a clean install. Empty your folder, backup your saves. First load will be slow regardless of whether or not you already built the cache because it has to regenerate.

Some of you may have chosen to avoid 0.65.0 due to what you heard about cache loading speeds. If you did, please also read those patch notes in addition to these.

Changes/Fixes

• Song Caching
  • Moved a good bit of the loading stuff to Load From Disk. This means that your load from disk might be a bit longer than usual. This comes at the benefit of the cache not being slow
  • Cache load times are back to where they should be (fast)
• Practice Mode
  • Reduced seek stutter and lag a little
  • Holds and Rolls work properly. They may show up incorrectly faded, but will now function as intended otherwise
  • The density graph is now slightly smaller on 16:9 and 4:3 to force it to fit better by default
  • The lower rate limit is now 0.3x rather than 0.35x
  • Cursor was not showing up in fullscreen
• Gameplay
  • Error bar was not saving when you move it in Customize Gameplay
  • Playlists were incorrectly resetting the NoteField position
  • Modifying the rate in both Practice Mode and Replay Mode will now update the necessary information. This includes the Rate, BPM, Rating, and Length strings. The density graph will also update in Practice Mode, but slowly
  • Clamped the bound for life decay on Rolls to Judge 7. You can now hit Rolls with relative ease on Justice
• Multiplayer
  • You are now forced to log out of multiplayer if you reach the Title Screen
  • The above change fixes backing out of the pack downloader putting you in multiplayer if you ever log in
  • Some invalid UTF-8 crashing with pack filtering should be fixed
  • Charts should no longer crash or stop you from picking them due to "Invalid UTF-8"
  • Filtering by common packs is now on by default
  • The toggle for the common pack filter persists for the entire session. This means it does not reset to default (On) unless you restart the game
  • Pushed a weird userlist object away from your view
  • Improved the userlist display coordinate calculations for rooms and the main lobby
  • Songs should start at an expected, consistent speed. You no longer start a song instantly if you start it on 3x rate
• Color Config
  • You can now customize the color of your combo. This includes the label and the number
• Miscellaneous
  • CBs per hand now takes into account the number of columns instead of every column except the first 2 being counted as the right hand
  • Network options exit button was exhibiting unexpected behavior
  • Music wheel no longer vibrates oddly when you pick a song
  • Judge display in the lower frame should now update when you change it using the Player Options shortcut
  • The play counter was not updating after plays
  • Installer will no longer uninstall non default Noteskins
  • Installer will now ask to uninstall if you pick a non default location rather than only the default location
  • Fixed crashes when making any non-canceling input after picking a profile on the Profile Options screen
  • Reduced the number of choices in the Profile Options screen so you can't press buttons that don't work
  • Removed the Arcade Options menu as well as the last remaining preference held within it
  • Fixed segfault crashes for some non Windows users
  • Fixed some rare startup crashes
  • Fixed some theme errors you didn't notice
• Known Issues
  • Offset plots in multiplayer may not necessarily always work. Particularly, you might not be able to view your own plot if you click someone else's
  • Preview and Practice Mode seeking may go off sync. Report specific instances of these issues in detail. We want to get this handled soon
  • Internal cache and load changes may break some song assets like banners or cdtitles. Report specific instances of this happening, if it didn't happen in a previous version
  • Multiplayer user lists will appear on top of the Chord Density Graph if you turn the preview on. This is partially intended, but also due to the fact that we don't have a good place to put the user list. Feel free to suggest a better location. This applies for situations with and without the visualizer

Development

• Libraries
  • Removed libpng
  • Added STB Image Write to replace libpng. This could be used to replace the other image writers

Etterna 0.65.0 - Scuffed Practice Mode

[0.65.0] - 2019-03-01

See the comprehensive changelog in detail here.

Note: We recommend a completely clean install. Empty folder. Backup your saves.
Note 2: Cache versions increased, so the game will have to generate it again. This is because more data has been front-loaded into the cache, the caching process will take longer but the game will be smoother during general music select operations and particularly during use of song search.
Note 3: Customize gameplay and the error bar aren't working properly, this is known and will be hotfixed

Changes/Fixes

• Gameplay
  • The mouse cursor is now invisible in windowed mode
  • Added a CB Highlights option to the Player Options. This works how you expect
  • Disabled Alt+Enter for this screen only

Etterna 0.64.0 - Multiplayer release (boy it took like, a full week(edition)))

[0.64.0] - 2018-12-04

See the comprehensive changelog in detail here.

Warning: If you have automatic score sync enabled the logic has been updated to auto upload scores that should have been eligible but previously weren't, so you may experience some slowdown or stutter (esp hdds) the first time you run 0.64 (if you dont save your profile the scores wont be flagged as updated), though those functions don't run during gameplay. As always back up your save folder.

IMPORTANT NOTE YOU SHOULD READ

Multiplayer is not entirely stable, being connected to the multiplayer server can cause crashes, even while playing alone or in single player. If this is an issue disconnect by going to the main options, and then network options.

Changes/Fixes

• Ett Multi

  • fixed selectmusic clicking
  • Added chart requests (No UI/front end yet)
  • mp goes buggy 2 electric buggyboo (see known issues)

  • fixed/improved touching the top right score list and made it sexy
  • net eval uses the scoreboard to change visible score (click)
• Song Load
  • stray songs inside Songs/ will no longer idiotically force crash the game, they'll get placed into an "ungrouped songs" group on load so you idiots can put single files directly into Songs/ and then complain about not knowing what or where "ungrouped songs" is

  • Added building and building-docs docs
  • Added a decent amount of lua-docs docs
  • did some stuff that might increase your fps
  • experimenting with replacing outdated image libraries/functions with the much superior stb_image, this is disabled by default since it hasn't been thoroughly tested, you can enabled it in preferences.ini under UseStbImageLibrary

Known Issues

• Multiplayer
  • /help displays wrong
  • most music select tab functionality hasn't been thoroughly tested while in mp rooms, this includes things like replay viewing, eval screen viewing, playlist starting, tags, etc. Most behavior should be benign but it's possible some interactions are less so
  • for example, messing around too hard playlist manipulation, specifically creating new ones, while chat is active, can cause softlocks
  • double tapping enter at room select can load both the main lobby and the room at the same time; it's funny- until the game crashes when you try to go back to the main lobby, because you already loaded it and there's nothing to go back to
  • there are unknown issues
  • The force start/ready buttons dont always reflect the actual state (They're reallly just toggles :D )
  • Some charts can't be selected due to invalid utf 8
  • Sometimes when a line ends in a color, and the next one start in another color, the first character of the second line gets bugged color-wise
  • rescoring is horribly broken in multiplayer and has been disabled
  • most of the hard crash potential in multiplayer has been eliminated but some still exists
  • cool stack overflow crashes when connected to eo multi server (not the site..probably)
  • ui is generally clunky
  • non us keyboard layouts will have a fUN time
• Misc
  • replays use your current judge for scoring (this has always been the case but i wanted to clarify. converting judges should work as intended.)
  • older online replays won't have great fidelity with their source, though this should be improved fairly rapidly (newer ones uploaded with this version should be fine)
  • replays may have inconsistent wife % values compared between gameplay and the real score
  • some replays are really broken and to cope with that we turned on NoFail in them (and that means your favorite replay of you failing on a file no longer fails)

Known Missing Multiplayer Things (Don't ask for them, we know)

* /changepassword, /kick user and /invite user commands are missing
* Friendlists
* Seeing players in each room in room selection
* timestamps
* Spectating

New Features

• Chord Density Graphs
  It's like nps graphs but better
  • In the MSD tab
  • Updates when you settle on a song to avoid lag when scrolling. Updates instantly when changing steps.
  • Darker bars are bigger chords.
  • Taller bars are more notes/notes in chords
  • Horizontal bar marks 70% of max nps
• Chart Preview
  This is pretty self explanatory; you would think there's no room to liberally interpret the concept unless you were trying really hard
  • Toggled with spacebar (a song and general tab must be selected)
  • Seek bar is overlayed onto a chord density graph above the notefield. Don't spam seek, it's not instant. I don't care that you may go through the rest of your life mindlessly mashing keys.
  • Right click toggles pause. You can seek while pausing.
  • Starts at the preview music position and sets the preview music to the whole song while active
  • Auto hides/restores when switching to another tab or a landing on a pack
  • Uses most of your current player settings
  • Updates when changing songs/steps/styles (you can compare difficulties in real time)
• Customize Gameplay
  A SUPER lot has changed with customize gameplay. Default positions were changed for some things. Elements that had hacky relative coordinates (judgecounter, displaypercent) may not be in the same upon updating. You are recommended to screenshot your playing field for a reference and you should backup your playerconfig file. I would pay careful attention to combo/judge/target tracker positioning. The mouse ui is functional, but only works with repositioning, and has just the amount of mouse control refinement you would expect out of a game that only had keyboard input for 15 years. Yes I know this is annoying, on top of not caring, the large amount of refactoring and standardization is better for the longterm.
  • added support for leaderboard/replay buttons, also lifebort
  • active element is now a toggle instead of a hold down (right click or press the button to cancel, press a different one to switch)
  • added borders to moveable stuffs
  • added mouse control for moving elements to the borders
• Misc
  • Title screen category in the color config: change the color of the title screen shapes specifically
  • Holding shift + ctrl + p will reload force reload from disk (fully reload) every song in the pack. This will not load new songs, it's meant for forcing updates on wip packs.
  • Chinese translations by RainFallen for most of the easily translatable strings in the game.
  • New crazy cool title snark that definitely contains 0 shots at those existing somewhere between a smudge on the lens and a functional member of society

Changes/Updates

• StepsListDisplay (the difficulty list) improved everything. It now persists on general, msd, and scores tab, and is clickable to change the difficulty and style while on those tabs. Display behavior is updated as well.
• MSD/scores tabs have been standardized in appearance to reflect the difficulty list persisting on them
• ClearType added to general and scores tab
• Judge displayed in Scores tab
• Added a button to the bottom right of the music select screen to run the differential reload (Ctrl+Q). Replaces num favorited.

Fixes

• Chart Leaderboards not updating when changing rate when set to Current Rate
• Crash on cancelling out of Select Profile screen
• Crash on playing a newly edited file if you logged a score before editing/reloading it in the same session
• Clear Types are now calculated with hard logic and should display properly
• Background Changes and movies not working when loading from cache
• Clicking on Game Start/multiplayer wasn't functional
• A large number of bugs with the stepslist, it should work fully as expected in every scenario, please report the current/expected result of an action if it doesn't.
• Avatars not loading in Select Profile screen
• Permamirror breaking replays
• The 3-choice Abort/Retry/Ignore Dialog now is now be of doing slightler more corrective grammar topology splains.
• Removed default player 2 back button that was causing EffectDown to be bound incorrectly to nothing if you unbind the default button for it.
• Update Game button was only half visible. You'll notice next update.

Known Issues

• Preview points may act strangely in certain scenarios while using the chartpreviewer. If you do something like turn it on, go to the scores tab, change songs, and change back to general, the preview point may not be set correctly. Preview music may not loop instantly when ended and in one instance a crash was reported while just leaving the chart previewer on and going afk.
• Chart preview seekbar may both render and behave strangely apart from the preview music.
• CD graphs are restricted to 4k (in theme, the lua bind gives data for all columns) and won't scale with currentrate, and may be slightly desynced with the notedata for some charts when loaded with chart previews.
• Stutter when switching styles (keymodes) if the Chart Preview is opened.
• Chart Preview has the wrong offset on some files.
• Preview pause behavior can be inconsistent
• Very VERY rare crash when saving profile after a play. Please report any instances of this, especially if you get the special crash message I placed where I think it's happening.
• MSD/scores tabs went through a lot of overhaul so some theme elements may not behave as expected, please report instances if you find them.

Developer Updates

• Verbose logging changes allow slightly finer control of the log.txt. You can set VerboseLogging in preferences.ini to 0-2 for the different levels.
• Reduced compile warnings
• Slightly more Language file based theme stuff (specifically for some Player Options)
• Lua can access Game Volume
• Lua has more access to stepslist display
• Lua has access to musicselect's changesteps function
• Lua has access to whatever it needed for chord density graphs
• Lua has access to more other stuff that hasn't been documented but if you find the right thing and feed it dumb enough input you can definitely crash the game super hard
