Rich Presence U 0.7

Version 0.7.0 is here! with a completely revamped interface, new features and improvements.

Highlights

A new user interface

Completely revamped UI, designed to better match Discord’s app style. The main reason I made this new interface was to improve user experience while keeping it visually clean and simple to use. 🍇

Screenshot

Now the main layout is separated into 3 tabs: platform, details and title with step-by-step style, but it you can still jump directly to any tab you want by simply clicking on their icon.

There’s a new status bar on the upper left corner, it displays your connection status, applied settings, and warns you when any critical error occurs.

Multi-regional games

Rich Presence U now supports European and Japanese titles, that also includes exclusive icons for each region.

Since this is a newly added feature, by the time I’m posting this the title database for those regions are still fairly small.

Recently played games

A history for recently played games is stored whenever you change titles, individual settings for each title and region are stored as well.

Title renaming and extended glyphs

Now you can rename any existing titles on the database directly from the application, this along with a wider range of glyphs for your personalized titles.

For those curious about the game your are playing 👀, it displays a quick search button on your status, it uses the search query from official Nintendo websitesm but it will also depends on the region of your current title, if it’s a Japanese game, it will use the search query for nintendo.co.jp instead of nintendo.com.

Elapsed time

Elapsed can now be preserved even when changing games, that’s a optional feature that can be found in the Settings menu.

Dynamic updates

The database can be updated at any given time while the application is still running, you no longer have to restart the application to do this.

Overrirders

Ever wanted to use your own title database but you don’t know/want to modify and re-compile the code?

Now you can do that by simply replacing the URL in database.ini by the file path (or URL) of your custom database.cfg. As long as it has the same parameters as of the default database file.

Even though I’ve done a lot of tests and debugging to make sure that the new code is as stable as the previous version, one single person is not enough to ensure its full stability, specially when it comes to a full code rewrite. So still expect bugs, your feedback is very important. 💌

UniMaker DX source code is now public!

The source code for UniMaker DX (the version with the pixel art UI) is now available on my GitHub : https://github.com/ninstar/UniMaker Since I started the transition to UniStudio some people have asked me if I would make the source code for UniMaker DX public, as it is considerably different from UniStudio and previous versions. I said that I would eventually do, so here we are. 🎵 I haven’t done this sooner because I didn’t have enough free time to go through my entire commit history (which is pretty huge if you ask me). 💦 As this is just the source code, keep in mind that it is not meant for most users. In addition to that, the link above does not include the source code for UniStudio, it is still being worked on its own repository. UniMaker 1.S is still the latest stable version. It is preferable that you use that version to create and share your courses.

The first release version, 1.0 is finally here with major changes. Highlights Now on Linux and macOS Previously Rich Presence U was only compatible with Windows, but now it supports Linux and macOS! Both Windows and Linux builds have been fully tested, but the macOS build is still considered experimental, as I personally haven’t been able to test it on a real macOS and couldn't find anyone who could help me with the testing. Even better user interface The interface has been extensively improved for better user experience: You can now freely resize the window and the main tabs will adapt to it. The scale of the UI, automatic refresh, theme and language can be set manually. Options and information are organized more clearly. Multiple options now have toggles that allow you to set their visibility in your status without having to modify their set configurations. There are new dialogs to help you if something doesn't go right. Not to mention new animations I designe...
