Some thoughts on the release!
🕑 Added 2024-08-17 13:15:14 +0000 UTCSo the last release introduced cloud for interactions. This has been a long time in the making. I'm generally happy with the rollout - browsing, loading and uploading interactions has never been this easy and works just the way we want it to! We've also made many improvements and stability enhancements.
But, that being said, we have still identified areas in need of improvement:
1. Load times
This is taking far too long atm, really breaking the mood. I want to see if there's anything we can do to reduce the load times, leaving no rock unturned.
2. Memory Leak Fixes
Another significant issue that has been observed is the occurrence of memory leaks. These leaks cause the application to eventually crash after loading multiple interactions consecutively. This issue will be addressed to ensure the application remains stable, even after extensive use.
3. User Interface Improvements
Several adjustments to the user interface are planned to create a more streamlined and user-friendly experience:
Nodes Display: Nodes should not display by default, as this can clutter the workspace and overwhelm users who do not need them immediately.
Right-Side Menu: The right-side menu should also be hidden by default, allowing users who just want to play the interaction do so without unnecessary distractions.
Auto-Play Interactions: Interactions should automatically begin playing by default to reduce unnecessary steps.
4. Scene wonkyness
There's some wonkyness when switching scenes or steps. We wanna see if there's any way we can make that work better.
5. Reliable Property Editing
There's another issue I haven't personally encountered but that I'm aware of: when you edit a property, it might not always apply as expected because a timeline later in the stack of timelines could be overriding it, giving the impression that the slider isn't even working. Imagine for example the user configuring inflation size, but the change seemingly doesn't take. Very confusing and annoying!
To resolve this, I'm considering implementing a hidden, global, "overriding" timeline that would always be applied last, ensuring that any properties modified by the user retain their assigned values.
Note! This would be for the "consuming" animation playback mode. I.e. not for editing interactions - only for making adjustments on top of a playing interaction from cloud.
6. Introduction of a "Quick" Menu
Later down the line, I want to further improve usability by introducing a "quick" menu. So essentially right clicking an item directly in the scene (no nodes or outliner) will allow users to quickly adjust properties directly. For example:
Visibility Toggle: Users could right-click a garment to quickly toggle its visibility.
Breast Size Adjustment: Right-clicking a character could bring up a floating properties window, allowing users to adjust the breast size directly without navigating through multiple menus.
Unfortunately, reading the screen the way I want to in order to get pixel perfect clicks and fetching the related object would require quite a lot of changes that aren't really feasible until we migrate to URP. Or rather, there's no point in doing it for the current system if we're gonna have to replace it down the line anyway. So I hope we can introduce it sometime around the planned URP migration.
Conclusion
We have identified several key things we want to improve with the product. As always, we are committed to continuously improving the product and will keep working hard to enhance the user experience and address any issues that arise.
All the best.

Thank you! Speech bubbles are 100% planned!

Fantastic work so far. An amazing amount of detail in the RLD map. It would be nice to see something like a 2D speech bubble that could be added beside a character during interactions or pose mode.

I've tried to cause your issue by disabling internet, but I can't recreate it. So I'm fumbling a bit in the dark. I've added code that should disable the browser covering the screen (the dark gray one) no matter what, but I don't know if it'll work since I'm not sure what exactly is wrong with your client. Please let us know once we release the next build (probably late next week). If you share your player.log after causing the issue, I may be able to help you better: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\FurryVNE Team\FurryVNE\Player.log All the best. - odes

Will look into.

Not can not load the web page, is even the most basic software normal screen display can not do, including "editing" and "interaction" can not be displayed normally

The problem is the version of August. Before that, the version of July can be used normally, and I can also edit and interact without using VPN. 1, network authentication unlock software (must use VPN) 2, https://yl2-cloud.appspot.com (I often use VPN to access and view the information of this website, I can naturally access it normally) 3. After the software networking authentication is passed (my VPN is always in the startup state at this time), all functions can be used normally, including viewing and downloading. 4. After shutting down the VPN, start the software again. All functions can not be displayed normally, the software screen is gray, there is no interactive button. When I started the software, I checked the first warning, then the second warning, then clicked on "Create," and finally "Character" and "Interaction." No matter which one is clicked, it will first show loading... and then as soon as the screen is black, it turns gray. Just like that, nothing, no screen or button options, just a gray screen.

It seems like it is unable to load the web-page unless you're using the VPN. But other than that, if you choose "Create" instead (either Character or Interaction), those bits work, yes? Are you able to load this address in your browser w/o using VPN? https://yl2-cloud.appspot.com

It's really depressing. I have done exactly as you suggested. The folder in the registry was also deleted. The August version of the software still cannot be used normally, and I have to turn on the VPN for the whole process to use the software normally, even if it is only for local editing and interaction
FurryVNE Team
Press WinKey, search for "Registry Editor", right click it and select "Run as administrator". Then navigate to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\FurryVNE Team\FurryVNE and delete the folder. All the best.

I have done according to your suggestion, but still can not solve the problem, can only hope that the next version update can solve this problem. Of the three solutions you give, the first two I have deleted, the last one can not be deleted, the system says I do not have permission. To continue to use the current version will increase my unnecessary consumption costs.
FurryVNE Team
Try clearing: 1. %appdata%/FurryVNE/cache 2. %appdata%/FurryVNE/ZFBrowser 3. WinKey + R, "regedit", Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\FurryVNE Team\FurryVNE All the best. - odes

In August, the latest version of furry vne had an issue that could not be used normally. The situation is that I have been using a "VPN" to access downloads and the Internet to unlock authentication software. After that, I was able to use it without the VPN on. (Local editing and interactive features) But now if I do not start the VPN, the program will not load normally, after starting, after selecting the first two options, the screen will appear gray, without any interactive buttons, only gray, without any screen. After starting the VPN, the software will load normally. I'm not sure what caused this, but it also caused my July version of the furry vne software to not work as well, and before that, my July version was working as normal. If this problem is not solved soon, users in Asia will be confused and frustrated, and the cost of VPN is also very high.

@Zexiara yes will fix that!

I want to add to that though it may be irrelevant; I wish nodes were disabled by default when switching scenes/loading an interaction. Pressing Shift+H is dandy until you gotta do it so many times in those the multi-scene interactions...
FurryVNE Team
It took a bit longer than expected, but yeah, made it during the summer at least! POV isn't implemented yet but it will be! Probably around VR implementation. All the best. - odes

Obviously not a deal breaker, but I prefer interactions to be paused on start up. A lot of times in YL1 I was opening an interaction, taking a moment to find the characters, and figuring out where I want the camera. For me pausing would then be an extra step at the beginning of every interaction. And if I let it run too long and want to start over I'd have to open the hidden right-side menu. Food for thought.

As promised, you made cloud interactions in the summer. I would also like to know if it is possible to include a first-person view here

> root scaling in interactions It's not currently planned. But create a suggestion for it on the cloud so we can track it. > Is there some way to re-enable disabled Parts when importing a cloud character for uploading? Generally, only parts that have been exposed are available in the interface. But you could use Shift+F1 to open the developer menu and enable it from there. > Driver Source? You essentially make one property drive the value of another one. Either a one to one copy, or you can invert the value or change the range etc. > Copy paste. Will happen. You can already use Middle Mouse click to create a new keyframe at cursor, sampled from the current timeline location. All the best. - odes

I got questions, dont know if i should ask them here or on the discord. Do you know if root scaling will be available in interactions someday so tinier characters dont get stretched & vice versa? + Is there some way to re-enable disabled Parts when importing a cloud character for uploading? + I figured out DriverPerlin and DriverLFO with experimentation, but how does Driver Source work? + What are the chances we'll see Copy/Paste for keyframes? TimelineEvents? Steps Across Scenes? Thanks, anyone
