Mirin Template 5.0.1

Mirin Template Version 5.0.1

New Features:

• Mod name validation no longer applies to auxed mods (#69)

Bug Fixes:

• Esc->Play From Current Beat now doesn't do the funny thing.
• require now actually finds lua files in the plugins folder.
• set {0, 100, 'invert', 100, 'invert'} now doesn't confuse the engine.

Mirin Template 5.0.0

Mirin Template Version 5.0.0

New Features:

• Everything is in real Lua files now.

  • No need to download specialized plugins to get syntax highlighting, formatting, and linting.

• Use require to load more .lua files.

• There are outIn eases now, for those who want a complete ease collection.

• Clearer function names:

  • func is now three functions: func, perframe, and func_ease

• New blendease function!

  • It's kind of like flip, but takes two eases and combines them smoothly!
    (the precise definition is blendease(a, b)(t) = mix(a(t), b(t), smoothstep(t)))

• Ease params are coded better internally, but it means you have to call them with a : now.
  (outBack:param(1.1) instead of outBack.param(1.1))

• Testing code!

  • Versions in the future should be much less likely to break stuff because I'm using the wonderful busted framework for testing things.

Bug Fixes:

• No more ScreenReadyCommand
  • Files will work in Marathon Mode, and with Ctrl+R
• Probably more. I wasn't keeping track.

Things Not Added:
I don't trust the implementation of delay= enough for it to make it into this release, so it's not included yet. DM me on Discord if you want a build with delay=, because I don't want to support it.

Have fun, and happy modding!

Mirin Template 4.0.3

Important Bug fix

Fixes random crashes, flickering, and broken mod movement under certain conditions.
Files made in 4.0.0 - 4.0.2 should be retroactively updated to 4.0.3, because it fixes potential crashes and no other behavior is changed.

If you're updating a pre-existing file, you just need to replace the template/ folder.

Mirin Template 4.0.2

More bug fixes!!
Func now works again

Mirin Template 4.0.1

Fixes a major bug that prevents anything player-specific from working.

Mirin Template 4.0.0

Here we go! A bunch of bug fixes and cool features in this version.

New Features

• Time based mods !!!!!!!
  • You can now add a time=true to any ease/set/add/func/reset/acc to switch the units to seconds instead of beats
  • Time based and beat based mods can overlap with no issues
  • Time based mods behave consistently, regardless of globaloffset
• New shorthand forms for things!!!
  • Ever written a func that does just one thing? Now you can write it with the "everything eater" shorthand that works with any actor method:
    func {0, 'myactor:diffuse', 0.0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0}
  • Want to write a simple definemod or node? Now you can write simple definemods with this super convenient shorthand:
    definemod {'videogames', 25, 'flip', -75, 'invert'}
• New Additions!!!
  • You can now reset with only a small list of mods using only= with reset. It's like the opposite of the exclude= feature!
  • New acc function, which is like set, but relative!
  • New backToSongWheel function for when you want to convey an error to the user without creating an error box.

Bug Fixes

• Eases with parameters now work correctly with func
• Fixed instability when using "Play Current Beat to End" in the editor
• setdefault is now case insensitive
• reset's exclude= now deals with aliased mod names properly
• overwriting template provided functions, like running ease = nil no longer breaks things
• Stronger detection against mod names with typos
• Better error messages when the user calls template functions after the update loop is running
• and more!

Changes

• Huge code refactor.
  • Everything is now more organized
  • Error checking is done in its own section and doesn't get in the way of the logic as much
  • It should be a bit easier to tell what's going on in template.xml! Dive in and tell me what you think!
• Switching back from SystemMessage to actual Error Boxes again
  • Error boxes should only pop up once, not every frame
  • After an error box, the template stops running the update loop
• The get function was causing confusion, and it's now gone 🦀🦀. We'll miss you!

Mirin Template 3.0.1

Features:
you can now use .param or .params for eases.

Bug Fixes:
func's plain perframe form works again

Mirin Template 3.0.0

Features:

• New func variation for function eases for when you have a small function

func{0, 1, inOutExpo, 0, scx, 'P1:x'}

• Aliases are more precise, so you can do complicated things with alias:

alias
{'movex1', 'movex0'}
{'movex2', 'movex1'}
{'movex3', 'movex2'}
{'movex4', 'movex3'}

• New parameters for eases:

ease {0, 1, outElastic.params(1.5, 0.1), 100, 'invert'}

• New helper functions touch_mod(mod, pn) and touch_all_mods(pn)

func {5, function()
    touch_all_mods()
end}

Now you can run touch_all_mods(pn) after setting a noteskin with LaunchAttack to keep the mods on.

Fixes:

• if you ease a player that's asleep, it will have the correct mods when it is set to be awake
• reset and setdefault can now be chained (like, more than one {})
• zoomz now correctly defaults to 100
• grain now defaults to 400
• outExpo now is actually smooth, and doesn't end at 0.998 and then jump to 1.0
• slightly better error message for when definemod or node have wrong argument order (still bad)

Docs are still outdated, and still need touch_mod, touch_all_mods. The func string syntax still isn't documented either. I'd like to also have the docs cover the new .params.

Mirin Template v2.0

This version of the mirin template adds more quality of life stuff:

• definemod now is an easy way to use aux and node

• flip function to flip your eases

• get function, to read mod percentages

• setdefault function, sets the default value of a mod

• reset function, resets mods to their default at a given beat

• fixed: zoom on extra players being jank

• fixed: strange behavior with one of the debug variables

Mirin Template v1.0

This version adds node and aux, which allows things to be controlled with custom mods more elegantly than with poptions.
