Sticks Aim Trainer news & patch notes

Patch Notes

Battlefield 6 Converter!

• Go to Game Profiles and create a Battlefield profile.

• Currently only supports standard and linear curves; more curves will be added as they are mapped and tested.

• Aim assist sliders will be added after more thorough testing.

Quality of Life

• Simple UI has returned! To use it, please create a new profile — we couldn’t convert old profiles due to lost advanced settings.

• Increased scoring scalar so 100k is more attainable.

Bugs

• Fixed FPS showing as 35 in new tasks.

• Fixed random crashes when completing a task.

• Fixed workshop saying "tasks" instead of "game profiles" when creating a new game profile.

Roadmap

• Continue to analyze player task performance for leaderboards, scoring system adjustments, and feedback system improvements.

Patch Notes

Tasks System Overhaul!

• We have converted to using Sticks Studio for all new tasks going forward so now the community can build and share tasks! The old tasks are still available, but analytics may be inconsistent.

• We have 20 tasks that come pre-installed, players can delete them if they don’t like them and go get different ones from the workshop as players upload tasks.

• Modifiers had a complete overhaul, and players can now adjust scale, health, speed and game time. There are also dynamic versions of all of these settings so players can set a minimum and maximum value for the target to use when spawning. Adaptive values are on the roadmap!

• Modifiers are percentage based so players should be able to adjust them to their needs for optimal training.

• Tasks use the new analytics system.

New Analytics System!

• Overhauled the analytics system. Note: Legacy tasks may have inconsistent results as this was built with the new task system in mind.

• There is now a dedicated analytics menu that shows all task historical values along with individual task history charts.

• Flicking analytics include accuracy, time to target, under and overshoot values, precision, and more.

• Tracking analytics now include accuracy, average time on target, bot juke recovery times, under and overshoot times, and more.

• We also now track analog stick input per frame and display that in a chart to show stick input usage throughout a task.

• We are analyzing all of these analytics over the next few months to get a good baseline for future calibration level, ranking, and leaderboards.

Sticks Studio Now Live!

• Added the ability to upload tasks, bots, and levels to the workshop now.

• Tasks now have a required tag for upload either flicking or tracking. This lets the system know what analytics and scoring system to use. So, tag your task accordingly!

• Levels now have an optional “Open Source” tag that will allow others to reupload the level after making changes. We wanted to try and eliminate from someone stealing others work as themselves, you know in case you guys make an iconic map from some game! Warning! Once set to open source that can never be undone, even by the original owner!

• Downloaded tasks will go to playable tasks and will not go to the Sticks Studio task screen. This means nobody will be able to reupload your task either, we thought this was best because the core of a task is in the level and bot which makes the task configuration screen fairly trivial.

• Bots will work like every other workshop item where users can download and reupload as the last editor, we do ask that if you are reuploading that it have meaningful changes and is not just the same bot with no changes.

• Expanded spawn groups to A, B, C, D, and E

• Added bot health in seconds.

• We look forward to seeing what the community creates! 

Quality of Life

• Players can now favorite the new tasks and playlists.

• Modifiers on the new tasks are remembered.

• Favorites appear first in the list.

• Syncing and deleting tasks and playlists are now done in the modifier or details screen.

• Targets health per second is now triggered per frame and not from a weapon firing.

• Targets will turn green when being damage or the player is on target and able to fire.

• Added health bars to targets that have more than 1 health and are not invincible to let the player know the health left on the target.

• Added togglable descriptions to the review screen.

Bugs

• Fixed losing navigation when looking at weapon or game profile workshop info.

• Fixed Sticks Studio using game modifier game time.

Roadmap

• Add Apex Legends ALC converter

• Analyze player’s task performances for leaderboards, scoring system adjustments, and feedback system.

• Players can now skip tasks in the playlist from the pause menu.
• Removed menu drop downs and now show them as submenus, hopefully that makes locating menus easier.
• Removed workshop menu when creating curve and playlists. Users can go directly to the workshop screen for that now.
• Custom and workshop playlists show first when going to select a playlist to play.
• Resized parts of the workshop screen to remove UI clipping.
• Adjusted workshop info screen to wrap text to better handle long names and multiple tags.

• Changed how tasks work so now when deleting a task it should not overwrite the task above it.
• Fixed an issue where the first 2 bots would be bugged.
• Updated descriptions for bot flying movement.
• Fixed issue when selecting test task that default values would be loaded on the first launch.
• Fixed issue where multiple bots assigned to a group would not save and load correctly.

• Fixed not being able to navigate from featured to favorite task.
• Fixed an issue when going to edit or make a crosshair that R3 would prompt to delete crosshair on all menus.
• Updated all prompts to now show the correct name and description instead of the default “character” description.
• Fixed an issue on Steam where users would lose navigation if creating a new profile and pressing the space button.
• Fixed first playlist in the playlist profiles list losing its save name.
• Fixed issues where random playlists would be overwritten when uploading to the workshop.

Create Custom Bots

• Create bots that navigate waypoints or have strafing behaviour such as random, mirror, or counter strafing.
• Choose whether you want the bot to fly or be on the ground walking then setup jump and crouching behaviour.

Create Custom Levels

• Create new levels in game and designate spawn points, waypoints, and more.

Create Tasks

• Make a task using the bots and levels created.
• Tasks, bots, and levels are all independent of each other so therefore interchangeable.

Patch Notes

New Converters!

Marvel Rivals

• Rivals is now available as a game profile.

Black Ops 6

• Black Ops 6 and the new Warzone settings are now available as a game profile. We did leave the legacy settings just shifted it down further towards the bottom.

Game Improvements

• Added a view mode option in Hipfire settings. This will allow players to select whichever view mode they prefer (1st or 3rd Person) and this is set automatically when creating a game profile.
• Added more detailed stick input information in the curve editor level. This will now show raw input to 2 decimal places and input going into the curve. This should allow for more accurate curve adjustment.

Bugs

• Fixed audio settings not making any change to the SFX and UI channel.
