(c) Added a function "AtomAudioVolume" that allows you to directly place the space
where you want to change the sound parameters during playback according to
the listener's intrusion / outflow distance on the 3D map.
This function is an experimental function.
(d) Added a project setting "Atom Monitor Communication Buffer Size" for the buffer size setting
for communication with CRI Atom Craft when using in-game preview.
(3) Specification Changes
This version includes changes such as renaming / replacement for multiple CRIWARE APIs.
When updating a project developed with an old version of CRIWARE UE4 Plugin to this version,
some information of CRIWARE related assets in the project may be lost,
and C ++ code, Blueprint, etc. may cause a compile error.
Be sure to back up your project before updating to this version.
(a) Changed to log the following message of Verbose level when loading AtomCueSheet asset from .uasset on storage.
"<FILE_NAME> is tried to load to memory from storage."
AtomCueSheet This can be used for debugging when an unexpected behavior such as hitch occurs in the operation that involves implicit loading of assets.
(b) Changed to load ACB file by AtomCueSheet class asynchronously.
For details, see "Details of cue sheet loading process" in the CRIWARE Unreal Engine 4 Plugin Manual.
(c) It is now possible to play 3D sound on Animation Editor.
Until now, the Listener was fixed at the origin position on the Animation Editor,
but now the Listener follows the Camera coordinates of the Animation Editor.
(d) Changed the specification so that the length of the displayed section is the same as
the first waveform of the cue, when a valid cue with loop settings is placed as an AtomTrack in the sequencer.
The user of the sequencer can freely expand or contract the length of this loop sound section by UI operation.
The looping sound that is playing will stop at the end of the section.
* Previously, loop setting cues generated extremely long sections.
(e) Changed some public interfaces of UAtomStatics class. The main changes are listed below:
- Changed the UpdateDistanceFactorForAllSounds() function to deprecated API.
(f) Changed some public interfaces of USoundAtomCue class. The main changes are listed below:
- Removed the bUseLegacyCullingSettings and MaxProcessDistance member variables.
With this change, the legacy interface configuration for distance culling has been completely removed.
Please note that the setting value will not be inherited if you update the Atom Cue asset to
which the setting by the legacy interface is applied with this plugin version.
- Removed the CueSheetName member variable. This variable was never used.
- Exposed the following function as Getter/Setter instead of bEconomicTick member variable:
- IsEconomicTickEnabled() : Getter
- EnableEconomicTick() : Setter
- Renamed the EconomicTickMarginDistance member variable to EconomicTickDistanceMargin.
- Exposed the following function as Getter/Setter instead of bCullingSoundPlayingProcessByDistance
member variable:
- IsDistanceCullingEnabled() : Getter
- EnableDistanceCulling() : Setter
- Removed the FirstWaveLengthSeconds member variable.
Instead, I have published the following function as Getter.
- GetFirstWaveDuration() : Getter
- Exposed AttenuationSettings instead of DefaultAttenuation member variable.
- Expose bOverrideCullSettings instead of bOverrideCullingSettings member variable.
- Exposed CullDistanceMargin instead of CullingMarginDistance member variable.
- Exposed GetEconomicTickMarginDistanceToUse() function GetEconomicTickDistanceMarginToApply().
- Exposed GetEconomicTickBoundaryDistanceToUse() function to GetEconomicTickDistance().
- Exposed GetEconomicTickFrequencyToApply() instead of the GetEconomicTickFrequencyToUse() function.
- Exposed GetCullDistanceMarginToApply() instead of the GetCullingMarginDistanceToUse() function.
- Exposed GetMaxAttenuationDistanceToApply() instead of GetMaxAttenuationDistanceToUse() function.
- Exposed IsLooping() instead of IsLoop() function.
- Exposed bLoopSettingByAtomCraft_DEPRECATED instead of bLoopSettingByAtomCraft member variable.
Instead, use the USoundAtomCueSheet::GetCueInfoFromName() function to get the FAtomCueInfo object
and reference the bLooping member variable.
- The GetMaxAcbAttenuationDistance() and GetMinAcbAttenuationDistance() functions have been deprecated.
Instead, use the USoundAtomCueSheet::GetCueInfoFromName() function to get the FAtomCueInfo object
and reference the AttenuationDistance member variable.
Check SoundAtomCue.h for more details on other changes.
See also "Reference"-> "Deprecated API" in the CRIWARE Unreal Engine 4 Plugin Manual.
(g) Changed some public interfaces of UAtomComponent class. The main changes are listed below:
- Exposed SoundObject instead of DefaultSoundObject member variable.
- Exposed IsReducingTickFrequency() instead of HasBeenEconomicTick() function.
- Exposed GetCullDistanceMargin() instead of GetCurrentCullingMarginDistance() function.
- The function SetDefaultAttenuationEnable() that collectively changes the distance attenuation setting
for all cue playback has been deleted.
This function could be used as a bypass for the cue configuration hierarchy.
You can still call it, but it has no effect.
Use the AtomComponent :: AttenuationOverrides property instead.
Check AtomComponent.h for more details on other changes.
See also "Reference"-> "Deprecated API" in the CRIWARE Unreal Engine 4 Plugin Manual.
(h) Changed some public interfaces of UCriWareInitializer class. The main changes are listed below:
- Renamed the GetEconomicTickMarginDistance() function to GetEconomicTickDistanceMargin().
- Renamed the GetCullingMarginDistance() function to GetCullDistanceMargin().
Check CriWareInitializer.h for more information on other changes.
See also "Reference" -> "Deprecated API" in the CRIWARE Unreal Engine 4 Plugin Manual.
(i) Renamed the EAtomLoopSettingID enumeration to EAtomLoopSetting.
The enumerator was also renamed as follows:
- EAtomLoopSettingID::DefaultLoop --> EAtomLoopSetting::Inherited
- EAtomLoopSettingID::ForceLoop --> EAtomLoopSetting::Loop
- EAtomLoopSettingID::IgnoreLoop --> EAtomLoopSetting::OneShot
Due to this change, settings such as SoundAtomCue assets created before v1.27.10.00 will be lost
when updating to v1.27.11.00.
To replace the old settings under the new definitions,
add the EnumRedirects rule to your project configuration file (.ini).
See also "Reference"-> "Deprecated API" in the CRIWARE Unreal Engine 4 Plugin Manual.
(j) Removed the ManaComponent::StopWithCompletion() function
that was designated as DEPRECATED from previous versions.
(k) Changed to load USM file in ManaMovie asset asynchronously.
(l) Changed the configurable maximum value of "Maximum Number of Analyzer Handles" of CriWare plug-in setting
from 2 to 64.
It is allowed to create up to 64 ULipsAtomAnalyzer objects that can be used
when CRIWARE ADX LipSync Plugin is enabled and call ULipsAtomAnalyzer::Init() of each instance.
There is no change in the implementation of CRIWARE ADX LipSync Plugin due to this change.
(4) Bug fixes
(a) Fixed a bug where the calculation process of the Doppler effect was incorrect.
(b) Fixed a bug where sometimes caused an error when building.
(c) Fixed a bug where a warning was output in CriWare.Build.cs when building for some platforms, after UE4.24.
(d) Fixed a bug where if the value passed to the first argument FadeOutDuration
of the UAtomComoponent::FadeOut() function is 0.0f, it is not reflected in the fade-out time.
(e) Fixed a bug where if the value passed to the first argument FadeInDuration
of the UAtomComoponent::FadeIn() function is 0.0f, it is not reflected in the fade-in time.
(f) Fixed a bug where caused a build-time error where the ENGINE_MAJOR_VERSION macro was used.
(g) Fixed a bug where the termination process of AtomMonitor library is not completed
when the application is stopped while the Ingame Preview is connected to CRI Atom Craft.
(h) Fixed a bug where Audio icon does not disappear when "cri.showsoundlocation 0" command is executed.
