LR V3.4.X [03 MAY 2015 UPDATE]

what's with the white line across the screen

It was his scarf ENTRAILS! OOOOAAAAAHHHHHHOOOOOOOOO!

And it wasn't just pixelated blood. It was really realistic blood.

Update pushed, download link in OP.

Added

-Rewind now possible. Hold CTRL/CMD to rewind your track. Includes setting in options menu to adjust amount.
-Frame scrubbing. While paused, the scroll wheel will scrub the track.

KNOWN BUG. There seems to be an issue with constantly rewinding tracks all the way back to the start, Issue appears that frames will be lost and time will become skewed. Not entirely sure if this affects the track as a whole, but desyncing does occur, so this feature should not be relied on for timing purposes. I have worked hard to fix this, but I haven't succeeded yet.

Changes/fixes

-Reduced size of file
-Other arbitrary stuff

yayy I love new versions

-Fixed rewind desync. It now plays properly when you resume playback and frames are no longer dropped.
-Added "Damn it, Kevans." to the title quips.

curious, how did you manage to figure that out?

i love these things, it's a little WRTL personalized touch on the game. My favorite is the matrix pills reference.

Here's some more quips if you'd consider:

Scenery ideas: haunted house, wonders of the world, amusement park, ski lodge, etc.

I noticed that it wasn't storing the frames correctly and wasn't calling them back correctly.

I noticed a few things about rewind: If you rewind with flag on and rewind before the flag, the game white screens in such a way that it cannot be fixed. No amount of holding a and pressing play, reloading the track, playing without flag at all, or anything after you white screen this way will fix it.

Ahk, I know why it's causing this, I can fix that up real quick.

Planned feature for everyone, demo recording.

So while I was farting around with the rewind code, I saw how smooth rewinding works. I took advantage of this and added an optimized fast forward where if the frame has already been recorded, it'll just skip ahead to desired frame instead pf running the simulation, and it was pretty damn fast. As soon as unrecorded frames occurred, performance took a nosedive since it had to start running the simulation.

So this led me to start making a demo system for LR. For those of you who do not know what a demo is, it's like the game having it's own video file type, or way to make the engine act as a video player instead of engine. idk if that's the best way to explain it. The way it works is that it will create a separate sol to save as demo. Due to flash limitations, I'm going to have to limit it to one demo file at a time, and one track per file. When LR opens this, instead of running the track simulation, it will simply read off the recorded numbers and play back the track as it's told to. Not only (in theory) would this solve recording issues, this will also solve platform differences for recording. No longer will we have to resort to lowering our flash player to play silent flame if the demo was already made! And other cool stuff...

YES THAT'S EPIC

does the fast-forwarding still work if you add lines?

No, it does not. This means this secondary fast forwarding will be activated with an adeed keystroke. Shift+space should do nicely.

You are such a coding God. Repre-fucking-sent that shit, kevans.

Stole the words I was about to type

If you add a tool to record the track perfectly, I'm sure everybody will love you 6ever

I did run a few benchmarks, and heavy scenery (IE archaeology) did lighten the load, but it wasn't the jaw dropping performance you'd expect. The lag if scenery is caused by having so many objects on screen, not running the sim.

Big benefit though is with demos, we can now have the ability to share tracks without worrying about mac/pc and flash player differences.

I think I'll start implementing that playback system I've always wanted.

Update has been pushed, download link in OP.

Added:

-Recorded frames are now saved in the sol per track.
-Optimized fast forwarding added. When track has already been played, holding shift+space will enable this. Release shift to stop.

Fixed/Changed:

-Fixed eraser not working in live draw.

Does rewind not work with tracks made before the update, or is there something broken on my end?

It's hard to tell when all I'm told is "it's not working". I need you to make sure you have the latest build downloaded and see if it still have issues. If the problem persists, relay to the exact steps you're taking, provide me a sol, etc.

Also I need to point out that the rewind only works if you've played the track. Rewind isn't making the physics run backwards, that's literally impossible. This is probably why it's not working simply because the rewind frames haven't been recorded in the first place.

Seems simply enough: https://www.dropbox.com/s/s2a6kux9zzu04l1/Screenshot%202015-04-19%2014.37.15.png?dl=0

this is the first good build

I think I'm the only person here who can get away with a quadruple post in a single day in the context of what's happening here.
