2024.10.4.923 - Easing functions, ban status privacy improvement and more

Hello everyone! I got another build for you! This one is more of a "cleanup" build, merging in and sorting out some of the issues that have been pushed to backburner for a bit with other stuff we were dealing with. There's a bunch of new cool goodies in this one! Lots of new nodes & functions for shaping/easing, more access to the eyebrow tracking data. You can now also mark worlds as "Readonly" to prevent accidental saves (e.g. when you archive things). There's also important privacy improvement in this one, which builds on the recent session networking handling rework: User's ban status is no longer included in the public API that can be queried by anyone - the information is now only accessible once for brief period when joining a session, which helps improve overall privacy. A bunch of things were fixed up too - issues with the finger posing system breaking, Resonite to Resonite account migration (this actually borked due to security fortification that was done a while back) and more!

New Features:

- Added a set of new easing/shaping functions (issue #736, implemented by @ryuvi) -- Following easing functions are now supported: Sine, Quadradic, Cubic, Quartic, Quntic, Exponential, Circular, Rebound (Back), Elastic and Bounce -- These are available as Tween CurvePreset property -- There are also three ProtoFlux nodes for each - In, Out and InOut - Added eyebrow drivers to EyeLinearDriver (requested by @hazre, @gourry.gabriev, @natbard, issue #2303, implemented by @ryuvi) -- InnerBrowVerticalTarget, InnerBrowRaiseTarget, InnerBrowLowerTarget, OuterBrowVerticalTarget, OuterBrowRaiseTarget, OuterBrowlowerTarget - Added InnerBrowVertical & OuterBrowVertical to AvatarRawEye data (requested by @hazre, @gourry.gabriev, @natbard, issue #2303, implemented by @ryuvi) - Added "Readonly" flag for worlds (requested by @stiefeljackal, @rucio, @medravr, issue #2793) -- You can set this by editing the world's metadata and checking is "ReadOnly" checkbox -- When checked, you won't be able to save the world in-place or overwrite it -- If you want to make saving the world possible again, uncheck the flag first, before loading the world again -- Please note that this is only "soft" prevention and not a security/permission mechanism. The goal is to prevent accidental saves (e.g. for archived worlds) - AppConfig can now restrict which login methods are available with `availableLoginMethods` list property (implemented by @probableprime) -- Currently Login, Register and SAML are supported login methods -- This is useful for coporations/organizations which want to restrict which methods can be used to login - Added `forceStartMicrophoneMuted` setting to AppConfig, which allows to override the microphone to always start muted (implemented by @probableprime) - Bezier Curve node now outputs the tangent in addition to the curve point (implemented by @bluecyro)

Tweaks:

- The hyphen symbol "-" is now a legal character in dynamic variable path names (requested by @badhaloninja, @gareth48, issue #3038) -- This makes it easy to directly use user/group ID's as part of the path

Privacy:

- Restricted access to user's ban status through the public API (based on feedback by @rucio, @stiefeljackal and @dantetucker, issue #2619) -- This prevents anyone from determining whether arbitrary user is currently banned or not just by querying the API -- When joining a session, the host is given one-time access key to query the user's ban status. This ensures that the information is available only for a brief period to a single user and only when the user initiates join to a session

Security:

- Improve validation when creating onetime access keys in the API

Fixes:

- Fix finger pose processing components breaking when one of the source components only provides rotations with no positions (based on report by @modernballoonie, issue #2964) - Added filtering to session update events to prevent local status updates being triggered by irrelevant sessions -- This fixes the underlying issue behind "Session updated, forcing status update" log spam (reported by CZakarya, issue #2909) - Fix regression causing data migration between two Resonite accounts not working (reported by RuiNtD, @tumnusb, @wattlefoxxo, @mvak, issue #2347) -- This was caused due to session token security fortification implemented a while back - Fixed output of Bezier Curve being wrong (reported by @zozokasu, @rhenium_nv, @orange3134, @rucio, @banane9, ColinTimBarndt, Kemono-Kay, issue #1268, fixed by @bluecyro)

Socialize with anyone

Online socialization and real-time communication whether you're in desktop or VR is the foundational layer of everything in Resonite. Being able to communicate and be yourself is an important part of the platform. To make this possible, we offer a number of key features:

Low latency voice - communicate in real time with other users in session with latency rivaling that of other messaging applications
Fully custom avatars - import, build and customize any avatars in-game and in real-time to look like the best version of you
Full body tracking, eye & face tracking - to maximize your avatar's expressivity we support 8 trackers (feet, knees, hips, chest and elbows) as well as eye and face tracking
Haptics support - with support for haptic vests such as bHaptics, you can increase your immersion and become part of the virtual world
Instant messaging - chat over text, send invites, voice messages or even arbitrary items to your contacts
Flexible session visibility & security - you are in control of the visibility and accessibility of your sessions, anywhere from public to fully private, with an access list you control. All validation and verification of joining users is done on your client - if you set your session to Private, you can be sure that it is private
Customizable UI - the user interface is your gateway to using the platform and just like everything else in Resonite, it can be customized and extended to better suit your needs and make your daily experience more comfortable
Self-moderation tools - we understand that not every interaction on the platform will be good and that's why we want to empower you with a number of self-moderation tools - moderate your own worlds with silence, kick and ban functions or easily mute and block individual users avatars or their entire presence. Our goal is to give you as much control over your virtual experience as we can.
Multi-world presence - just like tabs in a web browser, you can be present in multiple worlds and switch between them in a fraction of second

Play, explore and share

Socializing does not have to end at chatting with your fellow users. Resonite is a universe full of fun gadgets, avatars and games to explore, with features to make any session fun and exciting.

Easy media sharing - drag & drop pictures, audio/music or videos into any world to share with other users with synchronized playback - it's that easy!
Inventory system - did you find or made something cool? Save it to your inventory! You can spawn any items, gadgets and tools in any world (as long as you have permissions to do so) - everything is fully synchronized too!
Dynamic avatar scaling - exploring the world or interacting with users at different scales can give you quite a different experience - you can change your avatar's scale anywhere, at any time (unless it's limited by the host of the session)!
High quality audio streaming - want to host a party and be the DJ? Streaming your system audio in full stereo in high quality is a few clicks away
World search & session discovery system - looking for a cool world to visit or what your friends are up to? Searching worlds by their names and tags as well as seeing which worlds your contacts are in will help you there
Stream to your audience - our in-game recording and streaming tools make it easy to produce captivating and dynamic camera shots, whether you're streaming or filming videos for social media
Custom locomotion - we don't limit you to just walking around - you can fly, noclip switch to zero-g or build your own customized locomotion system - ever tried to walk on a surface of a Möbius strip?

Build and create

If you have a creative itch, you may enjoy the powerful toolset that Resonite offers to you. Not only you can build and edit absolutely anything - from your avatar, items, to the entire worlds or even making your own tools, you can collaborate with others in real time and achieve true creative resonance!

Realtime collaboration - the collaboration on our platform is so seamless, that you will often forget it's there - our powerful engine ensures that the world and everything in it starts in perfect sync, no matter what you do - you'd be hard pressed to find any feature or functionality that'd be visible only to you (unless it's your private UI of course!)
Edit anything - everything you see in the world can be edited and customized with the game tools - in fact, we built a lot of the official functionality in-game with the same tools that are accessible to you - from the home world, default avatars, to video players, color picker UI or progress bar - you can take them apart or build your own from scratch and favorite them
Save anything - you can save literally anything on the platform! Whether you built a new item, an avatar or a world, or made modifications to an existing one, everything can be persisted with a single click of a button. You can efficiently store multiple copies as well - our deduplication system will ensure that any shared assets only get counted once
Development tools - our development tools range from simple brushes and procedural meshes to more advanced and powerful ones, similar to ones you find in classical game development tools - except that you can use them in VR with real time collaboration!
Cross-world synchronization and persistence - with our integrated cloud tools, you can easily preserve user data between sessions or synchronize state across multiple different worlds
Import 3D models - thanks to open source libraries, it's extremely easy to bring in large variety of 3D model formats - simply drag and drop your FBX, OBJ, GLB or other files and bring them in
Texture/Audio/Model processing - need to make a quick edit to a texture, audio file or 3D mesh? Basic editing functions are fully accessible in-game - from hue-shifting textures, normalizing and clipping audio to recalculating normals and tangents on meshes or baking them
Export content for external tools - as easy as it is to bring content in, it's just as easy to take it out! With this, you can make edits using external tools or make Resonite part of your workflow

Code and develop

ProtoFlux - ProtoFlux is the crown jewel of our creative tools - the most powerful visual programming language that our experienced team has designed to date, which lets you quickly prototype and build anything from simple interactions to complex games and systems - with full real-time collaboration support and immediate feedback
Script anything - ProtoFlux can interact with anything - the world, the items, your avatar and any combinations of these!
Websockets - thanks to built-in websocket support, you can easily communicate with external applications and scripts and build extensive functionality, such as your own game servers, fetching external data to integrating new and custom hardware, without having to depend on official integration
Async Flows - creating code that needs to yield or wait across different frames is a native feature of ProtoFlux, with full execution scope preservation - you can even have multiple async flows running off the same code, each with their own unique context, which is a highly powerful and flexible tool for simplifying your logic
Flexible storage system - locals, stores and data model - pick where you store your computational data depending on the desired scope and context, to build highly efficient systems

Resonate with anything, anyone, anywhere...

We are a team of passionate developers, who are developing more than just a piece of software, but something that we call a second home. We are committed continuous development, with frequent updates and community driven focus. This project is a combination of our dreams and visions of what digital spaces like this should offer and the collective needs, desires and aspirations of our community.

Much of our focus and vision is on giving you, the users and inhabitants of this virtual universe, as much power and agency as we can, whether it's over controlling your experience on the platform or being able to (re)build anything we do.

It would be our honor if you decide to join our universe and help us build it together. Whatever your background or interests are, we want to build a place where everyone can resonate together.
