Pngify.me news & patch notes

These changes have been live on the beta branch already, bringing them to the main branch:

Changes:

• added a drag/drop overlay for imagelayer, textlayer and also spritebased setup -> this should make it far easier to select a location to put stuff

• detachable settings: you can now detach settings into a standalone window

• streamdeck update should be coming soon, sorted things out with elgato

• added a variety of hotkeys to the program, for example delete key on selected item

• you can now start the programm with a startup parameter to select start profile: add "--profile "to select it

Another collection of fixes and smaller features:

• fixed wrong hypetrain version in 2.5.1.1

• fall back to alternative port for twitch auth in case main is blocked (main: 9797, alternative 9898)

• fix: switch to newly created profile crashed app

• prepared new stream deck feature, stream deck app isn't live on store yet you can get new version on discord in the meanwhile

• time limit for states: add a time to auto switch to default (for example you can wink with a hotkey and set a time of 2 seconds to automatically go back to default state)

• show temperature layer: shows cpu and gpu temp, cpu temp requires you to run the program as admin

Updated some depencies which should (hopefully) introduce fixes for audio. Also added more logging there.

Linux build should now actually download all the files, some settings on the steam side were messed up. Other fixes, features:

• handle ttspet startup better to prevent crashes

• image layer: fade in/out, move in/out with transition time, might have to check other layers where a feature like this makes sense

• fix: path with spaces on profile saves broke import/export (probably also other special characters)

• added all possible triggers to state changes in the basic image setup

• some code refactors

Bigger update, main focus is switching the audio engine to something more reliable and cross plattform compatible to allow linux/mac builds. Changes:

• switch audio engine from naudio to soundflow, this should hopefully be more reliable and will also allow a linux/mac version

• fixed loading of settings, should be 4-5x faster

• new spout version with hopefully less weirdness

• crash window which shows you detailed crash infos and links to support discord (only happens on complete app crash)

• full logs can now be viewed in user interfaces

• fixes for hotkeys, ignore numlock and cleaner startup

• random variance for character blink, this time is added upon the interval (so by having the interval at 2 seconds and the variance at 2 seconds as well, blinks will happen every 2-4 seconds) -> defaults to 0

Features:

• twitch follow and raid as trigger for just about everything (layers, tits, etc.)

• twitch chat commands now have options like cooldown, subonly, viponly, modonly

• reset button for twitch authentication (so you don't have to delete twitch.json)

New Layers:

• change to random state

• change to inactive state (like sleeping, no speaking time based)

There is now a discord specifically for pngify.me, it should be updated in most places already: New Discord

https://discord.gg/BkumTYqM5W

• handle error in saving screen position
• move logs to a subfolder

• fix: extension of images are no longer case sensitive (couldn't load .IMG files but could load .img files)
• splash screen that immediately shows instead of loading forever
• limit how often an object can collide in throwing system
• use local images

• drawing tablet layer with default tablet to use (you can bring your own) -> this does support gifs
• throwing system has the same triggers as layers now for custom triggers (subs, redeems, bits, hotkeys
• updated some translations and added new ones
• fix: pause render whilst applying settings, this caused a crash sometimes

• english
• german
• french
• russian
• brazilian portuguese
• simplified chinese

• pngtuber plus migration progress
• tuned llm parameters for TTSpet
• fixed GIF images not working after restart
• make linux build "work" -> this is only available on itch.io as it isn't stable enough to be release ready on steam (same goes for mac) -> working on this though
• resize T.I.T.S. items by 50% and resize based on render size
• fix: better logs, should now also log startup crashes to help with debugging especially on non windows

• you can now use multiple sprites to build your pngtuber, this makes it so you can do far more advanced models
• models can be migrated from PNGTuber Plus
• new layers like for example the "TextRenderer" which turns your png into text {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45299069/65c72ee4a48b75ecf8c29c15fa505d8d724299a2.png
• stream deck plugin that's live in their store: https://marketplace.elgato.com/product/pngifyme-e7d02258-4bc9-46a2-a073-c6ed6c749c91
• performance optimizations for regular mode
• new safe files which now include the images in the save file
• auto image optimization: cut off unneeded whitespace to allow for quicker rendering
• websocket server that allows apps like stream deck to control PNGify.me
• lots more

• ttspet just read now also works for chat messages and redeems
• improved status logging, more accurate
• throwing system now uses all emotes in "%localappdata%/pngifyme/emotecache" not just the downloaded ones (must be .png and square)
• errors are now shown for 5 instead of 3 seconds

• streamdeck integration
• fixed an error that caused errors to crash the app (how ironic...)
• adjusted credits
