2021 October Release 1

This release adds the following new features:

• Target colors can now be specified in the target, overriding settings from the experiment or session (#285 #266 )
• Added an option to invalidate trials with too much motion during the pre-trial phase (#329 #325 )
• Added referenceTargetHitSound configuration option (#321 )
• Improved the functionality of the HUD banner score, timer and progress (#314 )
• Added an option for .Any outputs to use JSON formatting (#316 #315 )
• Additional options to configure decal behavior (#322 #323 )
• Added support for programmable variable frame rate (#319 )

This release fixes the following bugs:

• Fixed a bug in waypoint motion (#330 )
• Fixed a bug with waypointEditorMode (#328 #320 )

For developers, the following were improved:

• Documentation added about the rendering pipeline (#327 #306 )
• The sound is now muted during the tests (#324 )

This release was built using G3D revision 7167, the first revision that added the Any serialize to json parameter.

Known Issues:

• The auto-generated experiment config will fail to run correctly. This release should only be used with experiments you designed yourself to be correct. (#335 ) You can work around this issue by running until the crash, then opening up the startupconfig.Any and changing jsonAnyOutput to false, deleting the experimentconfig.Any that was generated, then running FirstPersonScience.exe again.

2021 July Release 1

This release adds 2 new features:

• Adds support for randomize pretrialDuration (#311 #309 )
• Adds 2 sample experiments which will show up in the experiment list when in developer mode (#310 #307 )

2021 April Release 1

The main feature of this release is the addition of more entry points for shadertoy style shaders and buffer sizing. (see #122 , #303 , #300 )

2021 March Release 1

This release adds the following new features:

• Experiment configs are now validated on startup with better error messaging #290
• Miss decals are cleared on new sessions and have more options for control #293

This release fixes the following bugs:

2021 February Release 2

This release fixes the known issues from the 2021 February Release 1.

• Startup config generates and allows a default experiment to run on first run #278 #277
• "Resume" button in the user menu works as expected #283
• OptiX.6.5.0.dll is correctly provided with the build #284

2021 February Release 1

This release adds the following new features:

• Added new default sounds #268 #276
• Startup config now supports experiment lists that the UI can select among #262
• Support for autofire weapons at near-frame time firePeriod values #269 #273
• Question dialog box improvements #274

This release fixes the following bugs:

• Remove duplicate insert of playerCamera into scene #265
• Fix target sounds not playing #268
• Update test startupconfig to new style #272

The changes in #269 and #273 are fairly large around weapon dynamics, so please report any issues you find.

Known issues:

• The first time you run FPSci without a startupconfig.Any, that file will be generated, and the application will close. You can work around this by just running the application a second time, after which it will start up correctly. There is no problem if you run with a working set of config files available.
• optix.6.5.0.dll is not found on startup. You can get this file from somewhere else to make it work.
• The "Resume" button in the menu doesn't work. Use the escape key to work around this issue.
