I put another release live on the weekend that pulled in a whole bunch of user requested tweaks that I made over the prior week, as well as a fairly major set of changes to the TIme Trial feature that now allows track creators the ability to have OnFoot stages, so races can now end up with a dash into buildings for example.
Another popular item added : EDCoPilot will now track the number and credit estimate for Exo samples that you have not yet handed in, across sessions. So now you can see just how much you stand to lose by trying to land on that high G planet when you have been out exo-sampling for a while!
I wont list all the changes but go check the Release-Notes channel on the Discord server for details.
After all the user requests, I decided to do something that i wanted personally, and i have created a new advance access feature for supporters, for the next release:
90% of the time when i play ED, I am in VR. Have been doing a bunch of Settlement Massacre missions recently to get materials for upgrading suits and weapons. I use the excellent Elite Dangerous Odyssey Materials Helper app to figure out what i need, and to tell me what materials i am picking up are actually useful .... that works better in non-VR, but I wanted a notification for when in VR, so with EDCoPilot i have now added a feature where if you pick something up that isnt useful, you can now get an audible beep, and the Last Spoken display area and Voice Log will include an INFO line telling you what material you just picked up isnt worth holding on to. Settings for this will be in the Announcement Toggles section in Settings.
Oh, and while i was at it, I added the ability to trigger a user sample sound when you collect specific materials. I now have a "Ullo John Got A New Motor?" sample being triggered whenever i pick up a Motor. Because sometimes I just want stuff to be silly ;) ... I'll put details of how to configure in the release notes.
I will be releasing the material notification feature sometime today, just for Patreon backers and donors > $20, because you are all awesome.
o7 !
