v0.9 (r9) - Gamemode Flexibility

Versioning change, naming versions with a simple number now instead of v#.#.#.#... so you will get r### (revision) now. v#.# will stay for major versions.

Report any bugs, that are not listed here to me via issues or discord: Tayou#4820

Instructions for installing plugins

• start the game once, close it
• go into %appdata%\..\LocalLow\SupraEntertainment\RhythmicVR\plugins and add the desired plugins in that folder. (on linux it would be in ~/.config/unity3d/SupraEntertainment/RhythmicVR/)
• start again and everything should work

Currently missing features:
there are no filters,
scoreboard only shows local player scores,

Changes

• backend: plugins are unpacked in memory, no temp folder necessary
• backend: core plugins are included in the build
• backend: beatmap playing is handled by the gamemodes
• fixed a bug with note despawning on song exit
• fixed: when saving songs doesn't check for invalid characters, such as ?. Does however remove / (Uses Path.GetInvalidCharacters() now)
• fixed: UI buttons, which should, don't stay selected (visual selection representation missing)

Known issues

• all audio settings except for general and song volume (hit volume, song preview volume, etc..) don't do anything
• the VR keyboard steals focus from input fields
• input fields for typing don't accept keyboard input (idk why, gotta investigate.. probably an input focus issue aswell?)

for now change the config file manually, it is stored in %appdata%\..\LocalLow\SupraEntertainment\RhythmicVR

• velocity score calculation is broken (currently disabled)... needs to be thought through properly still.
