V0.11.3

Date: 10/28/2019

Changes:

• Improvements
  • Improved the vendor JavaScript bundle size by removing unused code.
    • Refactored three-vrcontroller-module to use the three package instead of three-full so we don't duplicate Three.js.
    • Removed unused shims (PEP.js, webrtc-adapter).
    • Refactored lodash imports to directly import the modules that are used.
      • This helps with dead code eliminiation.
  • Added the ability to save and load files.
    • New functions:
      • server.saveFile(filename, data, options)
        • filename is a string and should start with /drives/.
        • data is a string of the data to store.
        • options is an object with the following properties:
          • callbackShout A shout that should happen on the server when the file is done saving.
          • overwriteExistingFile A boolean that indicates if existing files should be overwritten. (defaults to false)
      • server.loadFile(filename, options)
        • filename is a string and should start with /drives/.
        • options is an object with the following properties:
          • callbackShout A shout that should happen on the server when the file is done loading.
    • Note that the save file and load file tasks must be enabled via the onAnyAction() listener.
      • You can enable it via using this code:

      if (that.action.type === 'device') {
          if (
              ['save_file', 'load_file'].indexOf(
                  that.action.event.type
              ) >= 0
          ) {
              action.perform(that.action.event);
          }
      }
      

    • All files from USB drives are stored under the /drives directory and the USB drives themselves are numbered starting with 0.
      • To load a file from USB drive #1, use server.loadFile("/drives/0/myFile").
      • To save a file to USB drive #2, use server.saveFile("/drives/1/myFile", data).
  • Removed several options from the side menu:
    • Removed the channel name from the top of the menu.
    • Removed the login status from the top of the menu.
    • Removed the login/logout options from the menu.
      • The "Logout" option will still be available if you are logged in as a non-guest.
      • Once you are logged out, then the option will dissapear.
    • Removed the "Add Channel" option from the menu in AUXPlayer.
• Bug Fixes
  • Fixed an issue that prevented the removeTags() function from working when given an array of bots.

:rocket: Features

• Added an initial version of Builder.
  • Builder is a bot that helps you build things in aux.
  • Builder lives in the auxBuilder dimension and can be woken up by clicking it.
  • Builder currently has the following chat commands:
    • .. [name] - Wakes Builder with the given name. If the name is omitted, then the b001 Builder will be woken.
    • .sleep - Puts Builder to sleep.
    • .sheet [dimension] - Opens the sheet to the given dimension. If the dimension is omitted, then the sheet will be opened for the current dimension.
    • .new bot - Creates a new bot in the current dimension.
    • .download - Downloads the entire universe.
    • .upload - Shows the upload dialog.
    • .goto {dimension} - Redirects the page portal to the given dimension.

    • .show history - Loads the history and goes to the auxHistory dimension.
    • .mark history - Creates a new history mark for the current state.
    • .show docs - Opens the documentation website in a new tab.
    • .summon - Summons the Builder helper into the current dimension.
    • .new builder {name} - Creates a clone of the current builder with the given name.
  • Builder has a helper bot which will follow you around the universe.
    • If you enter an empty dimension, the helper bot will automatically appear.
    • If you enter a dimension that has a bot, you need to summon it using the .summon command.
    • You can click on helper to show a menu of possible options.
    • Dragging helper will give you a cursor that lets you teleport helper around or select other bots.
    • Dragging another bot onto helper will turn helper into a pallete so when you drag helper it will make a clone of the other bot.
      • Clicking helper will return it to normal.
• Added hotkeys to show/hide the chat bar.
  • Use the ~ key to show the char bar.
  • Use the 3342 finger tap code on mobile to show the chat bar.
  • Use a 5 finger tap on mobile to hide the chat bar.

:bug: Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where creating a bot inside a shout would prevent the new bot from being modified by future shouts.
• Fixed an issue where creating and then updating a bot that was not in the shared space would cause all the updates to be incorrectly routed to the shared space and dropped.

V0.11.19

Date: 12/31/2019

Changes:

• Bug Fixes
  • Fixed an issue where the "Create Empty Bot" button in the bot table was hidden when a mod was selected.

V0.11.0

Date: 10/18/2019

Changes:

• Improvements

  • Made the menu item count badge a lighter gray.
  • Removed the item count badge from the menu.
  • Removed the dropdown aspect of the menu.

• Changes

  • Made the menu item count badge a lighter gray.
  • Removed the admin channel and admin-channel specific functionality.
    • This means that there are no more user account bots or channel bots.
      • You can login as anyone from any device without requiring additional authentication.
      • You can access any channel. No need to create a channel first. (because there are no channel bots anymore)
      • The connection counts are now stored in the config bot of the channel.
      • Connection limits no longer work since they were set on the channel bot in the admin channel.
      • Username whitelists and blacklists still work, but they rely on client-side script execution instead of server-side execution.
    • It also means there is no admin role. For now, everyone has admin permissions.
    • action.perform() now needs to be used to run actions on the server.
      • You can send an action to the server using the remote() function.
      • The server will receive the action in its onAnyAction() as that.action.type === "device"
      • onAnyAction() has to detect remove events and execute the inner action via action.perform(that.action.event).
    • The following functions have been removed:
      • server.grantRole()
      • server.revokeRole()
    • The following functions are not executed by default and require a custom onAnyAction() to handle them.
      • server.backupAsDownload()
      • server.backupToGithub()
      • server.shell()
    • server.backupAsDownload() has been updated to accept a "session selector" which determines which session the ZIP file should be sent to.
      • ex. server.backupAsDownload({ username: getTag(player.getBot(), "#aux._user") })
    • Removed the aux._lastEditedBy tag.
      • This tag was automatically set to the ID of the user whenever a bot was edited.
      • Currently, it is extra cruft that is not needed and could be easily implemented via onAnyAction().
  • Centered the menu above the player inventory.
  • Increased menu text size.
  • Added in new camera range tags: aux.context.zoomable.min, aux.context.zoomable.max aux.context.pannable.min.x, aux.context.pannable.max.x, aux.context.pannable.min.y, aux.context.pannable.max.y.

• Bug Fixes

  • Removed hidden inventory dragging hitboxes when inventory is set to non-visible.

V0.10.10

Date: 10/11/2019

Changes:

  • Fixed an issue where sometimes DependencyManager would be given a bot that was undefined which would crash the simulation.

V0.10.5

Date: 10/08/2019

Changes:

• Improvements
  • Added the player.showHtml(html) function that shows a modal with the given HTML.
    • Optimized for embedding YouTube videos but works with any arbitrary HTML.

V0.10.4

Date: 10/08/2019

Changes:

• Improvements
  • Added onAnyAction() action tag to intercept and change actions before they are executed.
    • onAnyAction() runs for every action, including when a bot is created, changed, or deleted.
    • Every action is an object with a type property.
      • The type property is a string that indicates what the action does.
      • Here is a partial list of types:
        • add_bot: A bot should be added (i.e. created).
        • remove_bot: A bot should be removed (i.e. deleted).
        • update_bot: A bot should be updated.
        • apply_state: The given bot state should be applied. (i.e. a set of bots should be created/updated)
        • shout: A shout should be executed.
        • show_toast: A toast message should be shown on the device.
        • show_barcode: A barcode should be shown.
        • tween_to: The camera should be tweened to show a bot.
    • that is an object with the following properties:
      • action: The action that is going to be executed.
    • Forking a channel clears the onAnyAction() on the config bot.
      • This is so that you can recover from broken states and also gives the person who forked the AUX full control over the fork.
  • Added two new script functions:
    • action.reject(action): Prevents the given action from being performed. Returns the rejection action.
    • action.perform(action): Adds the given action to the performance queue so it will be performed. This can be used to re-enable an action after it has been rejected (you can also reject the rejection action). Returns the action that will be performed.
  • Added a local bot which is stored in the browser's local storage.
    • The local bot is a bot that is unique to the device and channel.
    • You can access the bot by querying for it: getBot("#id", "local").
  • Renamed onShout() to onAnyListen().
  • Added onListen() which is an alternative to onAnyListen() that is only called on the targeted bots.
  • Added ability to set duration of toast, plater.toast("message", durationNum).
  • Made the background for the menu label gray.

V0.10.3

Date: 10/04/2019
