Version 1.04

Foreword

Lots of changes here, a lot to get used to.

There is a video to accompany this release here:

New Features

Select tool

• Line Adjustment Tool has been renamed to the Select Tool
• Draw a box with the line selection tool to select lines
• Ctrl+X, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V act as cut, copy, and paste, respectively
  • Copy and paste locations are based on the center of the screen, this is to simplify animation uses.
• Control to toggle selection
• Shift to add more to selection
• Drag the selection corners to scale
• Right click the selection corners to rotate

Transparent Frame Overlay

• Shows the lines from the previous frame on screen for animation
• Toggle with V

.track.json Support

• Line Rider Advanced can now load and save .track.json files
• They’re more limited than .trk files, but compatible with .com

Key Rebinding

• Just about everything can be rebound now, you can even use mouse buttons
  • Notably, mouse buttons do not accept “repeat” events, so you cannot hold a mouse button to repeat an action

Changes

• Triggers now replace the previous trigger if two happen simultaneously. this helped squash a lot of bugs
• There’s now one proper “camera state” per frame including zoom level. Editing outside of that zoom level shows a little icon in the top right showing you how to reset the camera state
  • Default hotkey to reset the camera state is N
• Song sync really is tied to tracks now, so you can remove a song from a track now, etc.
• New ‘Track Info’ window – ctrl T
• Escape window opens a menu now instead of just preferences
• ffmpeg (for recording) is no longer bundled with the game. If you need to record a track or convert a song, ffmpeg will automatically download and put in ~/Documents/LRA/ffmpeg/{your platform}
• All settings are saved now
• Red line multipliers can now go up to 255 by manually editing the multiplier value
• Red lines can also now have their acceleration inverted
• Added in conditions for lifelock
• Renamed “Smooth Camera” to “Predictive Camera”
  • Another camera mode has been added called Soft Camera, which is intended to be an unoffensive smooth camera.

Visual

• New UI, you’ll want to feel around a bit. It’s quite different.
• Timeline functionality has changed, any frame on the timeline is the “real” state of the frame.
  • Flag can no longer be wrong. It acts as a fixed frame marker on the timeline
  • Flag can be dragged along the timeline
• New visual indicators for the Select Tool
• Scarf has increased flutter

Fixes

• Interacting with UI with the Pencil Tool and scenery line type selected no longer erroneously draws lines.
• Fixed an issue causing the game to crash while loading and drawing lines
• Fixed an issue causing a flag ghost to show in recording
