Beta 2025.2.21.20 is a Resonite version released on 2025/02/21.
The following notes were sent by Frooxius:
- Hello everyone!
- I got a bit of a small treat for you! I've decided to prioritize a smaller thing to help with some of the social friction with users being in inaccessible worlds - Invite Requests!
- They're designed to be smart - e.g. someone requests invite from you and you can't invite them (e.g. Private session and you're not the host) you can just forward it to host with a single press of button. If host is headless, it'll forward it to handlers automatically too - and they can either send one time invite or add the user as contact directly from the invite request.
- The overall goal was to make it as frictionless as possible. It won't solve all the "people are in private/hidden worlds" problem completely, but hopefully this helps make things easier and remove some of the anxiety!
- Hope you enjoy the feature! There might be still some quirks and tweaks needed, so make issues if you run into problems.
New Features:
- Added invite requests (requested by SizemoreSystem, @ArchieTheRaccoon🦝, @Kulza, @I'm Erin., Valnarr, issue #255)
- You can send it from the Contacts UI
- This is designed to remove as much friction as possible when getting people into sessions and will smartly handle a number of conditions
- If you can't join user directly and they're online, the "Join" button will be "Ask To Join" instead
- If the user can't invite you directly (e.g. Private/Contacts only session and they're not host), they can forward the request to host
- If the host is headless, it'll automatically forward it to invite handlers for that session
- If the host/handlers grant invite, it's automatically forwarded all the way back to the original user
- The host/handler can also add the user as a contact (for handlers, this adds the user as contact of the headless host)
- The handler does not need to be in the same session to handle the invite
- The host/handler don't need to be Contact of the user who wants to be invited
- Added inviteRequestHandlerUsernames configuration for headless worlds
- Any users in this list will be forwarded invite requests sent to the headless host
- The users in the list must be contacts with the headless host for this to work
- Headless also automatically forwards invite requests to any users present in the session with "Admin" role
Tweaks:
- Significantly mitigated UI Z-Fighting by increasing the OffsetUnits parameter on the UI panel backing material to 4000.
- This should significantly improve the readability of UI at reasonable distances from the world origin and when UI-aligned in desktop mode.
