GMC 0.1.1

Here's what's new in GMC 0.1.1!

Breaking Changes

Ducking
Audio ducking attenuation settings are now specified in a percentage range from 0.0 to 1.0. Previously attenuation was specified in decibels, but this is changed to be consistent with legacy MC and also easier to intuit. For example, attenuation: 0.5 will reduce the bus by 50% of its full value (after bus volume level is factored in), and attenuation: 0.2 will reduce the bus by 20% of its full value.

Configuration
The main config file (gmc.cfg) has been reworked to include a multitude of configuration options. The previous config file's [settings] block is renamed to [gmc] to make more sense alongside all the other settings groups.

What's New

• MPFCarousel has a lot more logging now, to help debug issues. Add an MPFLogger node to your scene and attach the carousel node to see debug logs.
• MPFTextInput class for text entry (still very early stages)

What's Improved

Sound Playback

• bus_player: config option for controlling audio buses directly, including pausing and unpausing buses (#8)
• loops: support for all audio types (#16)
• Support for MP3 assets

Widgets

• widget(name)_active and widget(name)removed events for better Widget handling

Video Slides

• MPFVideoPlayer option to preview video in editor

What's Fixed

• Fixed exception raised for nil float values by @bernarma in #9
• Converted volume to DB by @bernarma in #14
• Fixed stopping sound on bus by @bernarma in #11
• Fixed player variable tracking and initializing variables when players are added
• Fixed an issue where question marks in settings names would break the BCP parser

New Contributors

• @bernarma made their first contribution in #9
