Notice

Some of you may have experienced VRCOSC refusing to open after 2023.428.0. This is because your install of Windows does not have a voice pack installed which it should've done by default.
I've removed the Windows Speech dependency from Speech To Text now so this is no longer an issue, but it does mean that because of initialisation problems anyone who has/had this issue is stuck on 2023.428.0 as the auto-updater doesn't have time to initialise.
If anyone has experienced this you will need to reinstall VRCOSC using the setup exe from this release onwards.

What's Changed

• Fixed some prefabs not initialising correctly after module restarts
• Removed Windows Speech Recognition dependency from Speech To Text
• Added Text Generating state to Speech To Text
• Ensure Heartrate Enabled is constantly up-to-date

What's Changed

ChatBoxV3

This is it! ChatBoxV3 is a brand new system built to support everything that anyone's suggested!

It can:

• Show multiple modules' variables in the same string.
• Provide support for events (Media now playing can now show up for X seconds!)
• Provide complete customisation for the 60 second timeline loop, where you control the priority and time of every clip
• Provide live updates for customisation while modules are running

A standardisation pass has been done on all variables provided by the modules so that there are no longer different delimitators for ChatBox formats. What was previously %% and $$ is now uniformly {}. All module variables available to a specific clip are listed in the screen

As with any change this large, your previous ChatBoxV2 (module based) settings will be lost. There's no way for me to do a conversion due to how different the systems are.

A lot of work has gone into this in the backend to make it as easy to use as possible.
More updates will be coming in the near future to improve the UX of the screen, as well as some inevitable bug fixes.
I'm super proud of it, feedback is very much welcomed.

New Module: AFK

• Allows for a ChatBox string to be displayed when you are (or aren't) AFK.
• 2 variables have been provided for the amount of time you've been AFK, or the time when you went AFK
• This is based off VRC's provided isAFK animator parameter

Other Changes

• Allow for tab switching even when modules are running
• Add weather condition to Weather module
• Fix synchronous hang when modules start
• Add more variables to Media
• Add smoothing filter to all Heartrate modules
• Add HeartrateNormalised bound editing
• Completely decoupled the Module base class from Component to simplify external module creation
• Refactored ModuleManager to allow for an infinite number of sources opening the doors for future sources (such as the internet)
• Warn for non-initialised Media hook. This should give an indication as to whether you need to restart your PC or not
• Updated libraries
  • osu!framework had an update to provide support for all different kinds of renderers so VRCOSC should be more performant on older computers and be less GPU heavy when in VR
