YoloMouse News

The Effects feature adds a visual enhancement to your existing cursor. The initial effects are Scope and Halo. These currently lack settings like size and color which will be added next update.

Effects are also the first to use LUA scripting, the future of how YM's complex/overlay cursors will be made. This may take a few more updates to mature, but once ready Editor and Workshop support will be added.

Additionally anticheat compliance options have been added, primarily to satisfy reports involving "The Finals" and Roblox. The "Stealth" option is meant to avoid a false blacklist by "The Finals". The "Passive" option makes YM fully non-intrusive and only behave as an overlay (except in Windows mode). This allows it to work with Roblox. Both options may apply to other current/future games.

And finally fixed the stuck hotkeys issue due to a Windows bug that Microsoft likely will never fix lol. Fortunately the alternative works perfectly :)

Another small update to address issues...

These came up as I was working on cursor effects which I thought was a great time to update the rendering engine in order to support scripted effects and cursors. So I got that part done and as a side effect it improved perfmance, yay! :)

Otherwise these fixes are fairly urgent so I had to push them out before features, especially the stuck input triggering unwanted hotkeys. The startup UX was also tweaked since too many people were accidentally changing their windows cursors when they didn't mean to.

The HDR gamma issue appears to be an unsolved Windows bug so its a little more complex but I have a plan on how to get around it. For now you may find that sizing up your cursor will work better than when its smaller.

UPDATES

• UPDATE: rework underlying rendering engine. this is mainly a step toward future features, but also improves current performance.
  
• UPDATE: dont immediately start UI into editing windows cursors.
  
• FIX: stuck input issue causing hotkeys sometimes triggering when they shouldnt
  
• FIX: crash when editing a cloned cursor (regular version)
  
• FIX: various minor UI issues and potentially a few crashes.
  
• FIX: not being able to hotkey cursors in while UI is open in some situations.
  

TODO

• NEW: cursor effects: like halos and screensize lines crossing the cursor hotspot.

This is a followup update with a few new features and some hotfixes for last update.

The mirror option (flip cursor) has been requested for a while and finally here. This should work with all cursors except the 3D ones which will supported in a future update.

Expert mode is to disable some noob features that some found annoying, like tooltips and the YM UI starting on launch.

Safemode forces YM to go full CPU mode (no GPU). This is mainly to fix issues on some systems. Note that any cursors that would have used the GPU will be quite laggy.

Otherwise several important fixes, especially with hotkeys and the create tab.

Some TODO items were pushed to next update due to the urgency of hotfixes in this update.

UPDATES

• NEW: cursor mirror option
  
• NEW: expert mode. currently this disables tooltips and disables showing the UI on launch.
  
• NEW: safemode to disable GPU use. WARNING: this can make some cursors laggy.
  
• UPDATE: slim down UI size to accomodate smaller resolutions and higher DPI settings.
  
• FIX: unresponsive hotkeys
  
• FIX: excess delay while spamming hotkeys
  
• FIX: various editor issues (create tab) + polishing
  
• FIX: in LOTR Online... and any other games that do janky cursor things ;)
  
• FIX: dragging YM window getting stuck in some multimonitor setups
  

TODO

• NEW: crosshair option: screensize lines crossing the cursor hotspot.
  
• NEW: global resize option: will be size by % option under default cursor
  
• NEW: compliance mode to prevent false positives on some AC setups like in The Finals.
  
• NEW: pixel editor to basic and animated image editors
  
• FIX: oversaturation of some cursors in HDR
  
• FIX: hotkeys not working when invoked by apps like director
  
• FIX: size consistency while cycling cursors using hotkeys

This is a fairly big one thats been in the works for a while. It pulls in from our crosshair app YoloX which includes a new UI thats now consolidated including cursor picker, editor, and settings and adds various usability buffs.

Its possible some unreproducible issues like blackscreen reports were also fixed as related areas involved partial rewrites. Hopefully new bugs werent added ;)

Expect more frequent updates now as this huge update laid the groundwork for faster iteration and new features. The TODO list below is directly from feedback and should be ready in about a week in case you were expecting these in this one. But I'd rather let this large update live on its own for a few days ;)

Btw, if you find the tooltips annoying let me know and I'll add an option to disable them.

This one took a while but thanks to user feedback I finally reproduced and therefore was able to fix it. This should also fix rare instances of lingering blackscreen as a result of the low memory condition.
