🚂 Editor Upgrade: V4 to V6

We released the v5 editor in November 2021 and introduced v6 in August 2023. Both of these releases marked major upgrades in terms of the underlying technology and the way we store GMetri projects.

During the transition from v4 to v5, we did not automatically update older projects. Instead, we have continued to support the older v4 format in legacy mode for approximately two years.

Throughout this time, GMetri's feature set has expanded significantly.

We are planning to decommission the v4 editor in the near future. Fortunately, this change will not impact your deployments. This is because, for an extended period, v4 projects have been viewed using the latest viewer. In the viewer we update v4 projects on the fly to the latest version (to v6), without saving them back, to ensure that you can still use the v4 editor, while getting the benefits of our latest viewer.

However please be aware that before the next release, when you access older projects, you will start seeing the new editor instead of the older v4 editor.

✨ Improvements

• 🎭 Animations are now applied to compatible Characters selected even from outside of Ready Player Me.

• 📚 Updated UI used to create and add files to a Character element's Brain.

• 🆘 Better help options in the top bar of the Portal. More visible help icons on the Editor top bar.

• 📁 You can now select Character files from the File Manager for custom avatars.

• 🧑‍🎨 Added a configure avatar link in the deployment page (takes you to avatar preferences), and a few UI improvements.

• 🖼️ Better icons and thumbnails for Screenshare, Zone, Seat, and Embed3d in the “Add Element” page.

In The Viewer:

• 📝 Removed cursor instruction for third-person view (as they aren't needed there). Also, we now show instructions when scene changes from 360 to 3D.

• 🌐 The optimization that happens to a project while viewing a link - which causes dormant scenes to be removed from it, is no longer applied while previewing the project. This is because the editor might be working on a project that is currently inaccessible but might later link it into the project.

• 🇯🇵 Translation updates: Capture Input element's copy for Japanese.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• 🔄 When a browser tab with a GMetri view link was duplicated, the session id used to get duplicated - and viewer updates used to get overwritten. This is now fixed.

• ➕ Deleting an element and then trying to add a new element without selecting anything from the Structure Panel used to fail. This is now fixed.

• 📝 Entering text in input boxes should no longer moves the camera. This issue used to sometimes bring the camera down to ground level (because of the “e” reduce camera height shortcut). Fixed!

• 🧘‍♂️ The input box for camera height no longer loses focus while modifying it.

• 📊 Fixed viewer sessions table UI in analytics. It wasn’t being rendered correctly in case there a large number of columns as a result of a large number of variables.

🚀 Major Features

✨ Improvements

• ⚡ The Rules section now works better (around 5x speed improvement). The list of elements in dropdowns is now ordered according the Structure Panel.

Here's a before vs. after comparison when scrolling the Rules UI:

• 🧍‍♂️ Idle animations of Avatars improved.

• 🧍‍♀️ There are a few issues in some animations in female avatar. Changes were made to help fix that in the coming few days.

• 🛠️ Japanese translations in screenshare and multiplayer mode (when "Japanese" is selected as "Viewer UI Language" from Settings.

• 📈 The project body that gets sent to viewer is now being optimized before it is sent. Any non-reachable scenes, disabled rules etc. are first removed from the project before sending it to the viewer to save network bandwidth.

• 🎋 The right bar Structure Panel tree now works slightly better during drag-drop operations.

• 🎼 A new property "Background" added to Audio elements. Checking "Background" on an audio element loads it differently (using html5 audio). Background audios:

  • Take lesser memory (important if you are building for iOS)

  • Have a limitation on iOS that they can't perform volume changes using rules, and only work at volume 100% (so bake in the low volume into the audio in case you want lower volume)

🐛 Bug Fixes

• 🛠️ The editor has now transitioned to v6. Most of the issues cased by the v5 to v6 have been resolved.

• 💾 Code optimizations done to reduce memory usage.

• 🎯 Copying (ctrl-c, ctrl-v) scenes across projects now also copies variables that were referenced in the rules for that scene. (Note: global variables are not copied over).

• 📱 There were certain menu entries in some project that didn't link to any scenes. This is now fixed - the ghost menu entries should go away on their own the next time you open the editor.

• 📋 Duplicating large projects across workspaces no longer fails. There was a log limit that was being reached for large projects.

• 🛠️ Rules for audios used to get applied on audios twice. This had no impact on functioning, but used up more memory.

• 📝 Two experimental flags:

  • use_html5_audio=true: html5 is a new internal audio format for GMetri that uses lesser memory. It has a limitation that it's volume can't be anything other than full (100) and its volume can't be changed by rules. All audios that have 100 volume and don't have any volume rules on them automatically become html5 audios when this flag is passed.

  • ios_mute_videos=true: Mutes all videos & removes mute/unmute rules. iOS automatically pauses some GMetri experiences containing audios and videos. This helps prevent that by muting all videos & removing mute/unmute rules.

✨ Improvements

• ⚡ Slight performance improvement in the editor.

• 🔄 Rules can now be rearranged.

• 🛠️ Minor UI fixes in Rules top-bar.

• 🎯 Dragging and dropping in the “Structure” tree is now much smoother.

• 📱 Action bar no longer covers the joystick and caller options on mobile.

• 📋 Duplicate and ghost entries in the "Structure" tab no longer form.

• 📝 Copying and pasting a scene and an element now includes the element in the current scene as expected.

✨ Improvements

• 🎯 Trigger Radius default changed to 3M for all new character elements: Enjoy more intuitive and accurate interactions with characters in your experiences

• 🖼️ Improved Embed 3D element performance: Smoother rendering and faster loading times for your 3D models.

• 👤 Improved Avatar Selection for quicker entry into the experience: Jump right into the action with faster access to your chosen experience.

• 🇯🇵 Japanese Language translations for collaboration controls: Seamless navigation and collaboration with Japanese language support.

• 🎭 Better random Avatar names: Embrace a new era of diverse and appropriate Avatar names.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• 🔊 Fixed an issue where audio match rule didn’t work after seek to operation: Audio triggers now function correctly after seek operations.

• ⌛ Fixed an issue where timer match rule didn’t work after seek to operation: Timers now operate accurately after seek operations.

• 🔌 Fixed an issue where Agora was loaded even in non-multiplayer deployments, improving loading time.
