Milestone 5: Spring Cleaning Update (v1.0.1.0)

The largest Nonsensical Video Generator update is here!
Quality of life improvements, localization, new features, and more!
[h3]New Features[/h3]
  • New "Image" root library type
    • Allows for libraries that contain images.
    • By default, there are no libraries; addons must implement their own.
    • Currently a work in progress and will be expanded upon in future updates.
  • New "Skip Intro" option in the Options tab.
  • Added colorblind-friendly theme to the default addons.
  • New click indicators with different rotating shapes.
    • Themes can add up to 9 custom click indicators; the default theme comes with 4.
  • Background music now plays sequentially, with the first track being random.
  • New music tracks added to the default theme's playlist:
    • Bug Crusher and Mystery by Bobby I Guess (contextual, playing during specific events).
    • Jazzy, which was also added to the downloadable soundtrack.
  • New Blog tab added for version information and latest events on Steam.
    • Shows a preview image and a small blurb.
    • The Game tab moved below this, where the Exit button used to be.
    • The Exit animation now applies when closing the NVG window (press twice to force close).
  • Waveform preview added to audio libraries.
    • Previewing audio files now brings up the media player to show the waveform.
  • Localization support added.
    • Currently supports English (United States) and Spanish (Mexico).
    • Community translations are welcome on GitHub.
    • Select a language by clicking the speech bubble action button in the Options tab.
  • Holiday themes are automatically applied during the holiday season.
    • Currently, only Halloween is supported; more to be added in the future.

[h3]Quality of Life Improvements[/h3]
  • Addon list filtering in the Addon Management menu.
    • Select between Effects, Post-Render Effects, Themes, or All.
  • Tooltips now appear over all other elements.
  • Addon type displayed next to addon names.
    • If an addon already has the type in its name, it will be replaced.
    • Workshop uploads are also affected.
    • If adding the type to an addon's name causes truncation, it will not be added.
  • Action buttons and social buttons merged into one floating column for a cleaner look.
    • The Socials window and the Actions graphic in the Content window have been removed.
  • Addons from the Workshop now have a "View Workshop" button in their settings.

[h3]Bug Fixes and Adjustments[/h3]
  • Fixed NVG freezing when loading addons.
  • Default start sound and music will not play at launch if a custom theme is set.
    • Ensures that the current custom theme's start sound and music play first.
  • Fixed freeze frames in videos after each clip, caused by encoding issues.
  • Scrolling in the addons list no longer locks when the mouse exits the window.
    • Up and down buttons navigate to the first and last addons if scrolling is out of range.
  • More verbose console logging added.
    • To view the console log after NVG has closed, add the "-console" launch option.
  • Fixed randomsound.lua stock effect bug that occurred if an input file name contained a space.
  • Default outro updated to reduce volume and simplify details.
  • Sound effect volume normalized, as they were previously too loud.
  • Media Player window adjusted to properly fit videos.
    • Added a progress bar when playing.
  • Fixed themes using old music from previously applied themes.
    • Caused by the music counter not resetting when changing to a theme with less music.
  • FFmpeg and FFprobe versions enforced.
    • NVG will require re-downloading them in-app if the versions are not compatible.
  • Button hitboxes made more accurate.
  • Removed unused graphics from the Theme addon template.
  • Updated localization files.

[h3]Minor Updates[/h3]
  • Addon names truncated with an ellipsis (...) if they are too long.
  • Workshop preview image error added for images too big (Steam limit: 1 MB).
  • Numeric addon settings fix: Ensured proper setting if the region's number style is incompatible.
    • Issue was indicated by an "Input string was not in a correct format" error.
  • Faster Workshop addons: Loading, downloading, and deleting Workshop addons is much faster.
  • Updated addon templates to support localization.
