* Rewrite FX and animation generatorsyum2022-10-23
| | | | | | | | | | * Fix bug where facial animations cause already-written letters to change (!!!) * Add libtastt.py to hold abstractions layered over libunity * Fix * libunity: Fix bug where integer equality state transition conditions ignored the threshold * libunity: Support placing animator states at different positions
* reimplement animator merging in yaml parseryum2022-10-14
| | | | | | | Object IDs are allocated optimally now, but it's a bit slower due to long parse times. Also fix minor bug in generate_fx.py.
* Add ability to leave board in worldyum2022-10-11
| | | | | | | | | * Add VRLabs' World Constraint as a submodule * Add animations for world constraint * Add toggles for board * Add libunity.py (no content yet) * Support >30s transcription * Add board FBX
* Add osc_ctrl.ResizeBoardyum2022-10-04
| | | | | It's a little buggy; it likes to overwrite cells on the board. No idea why.
* Board is now blank by defaultyum2022-10-03
| | | | Also update README.
* Add 4th layer of indexingyum2022-10-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Double board size from 6x16 to 8x22 * Reduce parameter bits used (thanks to extra layer of indexing) * Rename template.anim to template.anim.txt to prevent Unity from constantly rewriting it * osc_ctrl.encodeMessage now pads the message so that all empty space is overwritten * Delete osc_ctrl.sendMessageCellContinuous. Now that we use a single 'Enable' bit, this idea is sidelined. * We can probably achieve the same effect by making TaSTT.shader a little more clever. For example, if we pass it the current cell number, it could render a time-based 'fade-in' effect which simulates smooth streaming.
* Use a single Enable parameter instead of one per layeryum2022-10-02
| | | | Even more reliable now.
* Paging now works for other players at 40 characters per secondyum2022-10-02
| | | | | | | * Shorten animations to 1 frame * Eliminate fx internal transition delays * These were causing the shader parameters to interpolate, causing the inconsistent / flickering letters I was seeing
* Add 'Do Nothing' animationyum2022-10-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Per the VRC docs, state behaviors may not execute if the total length of time in the state is < 0.02 seconds. Adding a 2-frame 'Do Nothing' animation to the top of every layer seems to help with stability. *shrug* More cleanup: * Generate a unique return-home transition for each terminal state instead of reusing the same one. * Use globally unique state names in animator. * All animations are at least 2 frames long.
* Add parameters to resize board (likely broken)yum2022-10-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | ... and a bunch of bugfixes: * Shader is now transparent * Simplify shader row/column calculation * Add punctuation to texture * Fix generate.sh * Add lorum_ipsum.txt * Fix how long text is scrolled * Simplify encoding logic in osc_ctrl.py
* Redo FX layeryum2022-09-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Apparently the same avatar parameter can only be updated so quickly before VRChat starts dropping messages. So now we divide the board into "groups" of 8 characters. Each group can be updated relatively slowly, but all groups can be updated in parallel. Thus we can update the board group-by-group, pausing between each group. * Fix shader bugs - now there are Row05 parameters, and row00 refers to the topmost row instead of the bottom-most. * Remove outdated layer/group names files * Extend osc_ctrl.py to support encoding & sending messages * Add generate_params.py to handle creating TaSTT_params.asset * Add generate_utils.py for common code generation facilities & parameters.
* FIRST WORKING PROTOTYPE!yum2022-09-29
| | | | | | | | | Can't get much faster than 0.1 seconds per character with the current design. Still, a good first step! * Simplify parameters: only use 3 8-bit ints + 1 boolean. * Rewrite FX generator according to new params. * Rewrite osc_ctrl.py to test in-game display.
* delete SetLetters.csyum2022-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Doesn't work in game. Also change # of characters per slot to 80, down from 128. Also realize that VRChat supports 256 BITS of parameter, not 256 BYTES. Next design idea: * 3 8-bit parameters: letter, row, col * 1 boolean parameter: active * one animation for each slot/letter combo, as usual * one fx layer like this: if !active: do nothing if row == 0: if col == 0: if letter == 0: play row00_col00_letter00 animation * because write defaults are off, we should be able to "save" letters by simply setting active = false * thus we don't need to simultaneously address the entire board, saving memory
* Generate 128 animations per cell (up from 60)yum2022-09-28
| | | | Also generate the full 6 rows instead of just 3
* big code dumpyum2022-09-28
Summary: added generator for animations and FX layer. * add generate_animations.sh * generates an animation for every cell (14*6=72) and every letter (60); 72*60 = 4212 total animations * add generate_fx.py * seems to work in-game * drives every parameter needed * add {group,cell}_names.txt * name of every group & cell parameter * the STT has 72 individual character slots called cells. They are grouped into 4-character groups to save on parameter bandwidth. Thus each slot may be indexed with 8 bits. * add SetLetters.cs * this thingy looks at each group parameter and uses it to set each cell parameter. The generated fx layer hooks the script in. * check in SDK-generated assets as references until code generators are complete
