YoloMouse News

This one adds several workshop features including sorting, filtering, search, and ratings. Added default cursor options like resizing all unbound game cursors. Then the larger update, that will go unnoticed, was support for scripted cursors. So far only the existing Pyro, Prism, Petals were ported over so not much to see. But next update the full capabilities here are planned :)

Also snuck in an XBRZ upscaler for existing game cursors :D

Otherwise some QoL changes and various fixes. A few I couldn't get to in time however...

• Theres some issues while using Lossless Scaling thats more complicated than expected.
  
• Investigated HDR cursor brightness problem. Unfortunatelly this isnt an easy fix since its a Windows bug with no known workarounds. The only way around this in YoloMouse is to show the cursor via an overlay which can be done by enabling "settings > compliance > passive" but that has its own downsides.
  

UPDATES

• 1.12.2
  
  • NEW: use XBRZ scaling when upscaling original cursors
    
  • FIX: fix YM not working after some time when using default cursors. seen in wow and gw2.

• NEW: new super awesome scripted cursors

Added color and sizing options to effects. The collection tab now recalls your last configured app, instead of showing that intro message every time.

Then some fixes that may be significant for some folks. One involved the latest AMD driver update triggering HDR thinking YM is a game. Gamepass games should now work. And finally that stuck keys one which still persisted based on a few reports. It should now behave like it did before version 1.9. Why fix what worked ;)

UPDATES

• NEW: effect settings: added color+sizing for Scope and Halo.
  
• NEW: collection: recall last app configured.
  
• NEW: show warning when using Compliance Passive mode.
  
• BUFF: improve tutorial to avoid confusion.
  
• BUFF: support XBox GamePass games by allowing UWP apps to be targeted
  
• FIX: crash when deleting cursors with windows app selected.
  
• FIX: stuck keys again: revert to when it used to work.
  
• FIX: strange HDR-like brightness when using overlay cursors with latest AMD GPU drivers.
  
• FIX: cursor binding sometimes failing with multiwindow games like GW2.
  

TODO

• NEW: global resize option: will be size by % option under default cursor
  
• NEW: pixel editor to basic and animated image editors
  
• FIX: hidden+static option sometimes not working in GW2
  
• FIX: reported perf issue with having many bindings on many apps.
  
• 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

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 :)

Updated TODO list...

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
