🐐Update v2.6🐐

[EDIT]
I also reuploaded all links with new password, hopefully it will fix the dropbox issues.

Hey!

Been a while I touched the client code, but reports on Quest version crashes made me revisit the Quick Loading feature, which was already included in the code. Why haven't I just simply enabled it?
When I tested it again , it hit me. There was an unexplainable error in the Quest version ONLY.
Worked fine on editor and PCVR, but the main menu bugged out on Quest upon returning to it from a scene.
Yeah, developing to multiple platforms sucks.
I almost gave up on it, but I can't let a main menu crash pass, so I brute forced a menu reload on Quest, which solved the problem, at least it's functional.

Which made me realise that the code has reached critical mass,and adding/fixing stuff in a 3-4 year old codebase is a BIT difficult. I'm also burnt out I guess.

The good news are that I finally started to write the document of what GOAT 2 needs to be.
Mostly I need to use my coding knowledge I gained in the past 3 years and make a really a better structured client, with more streamlined content creation. Not to mention, on a more current Unity version. Unity 6 lighting can be spectacular.

New content and small tweaks will still come regularly tho, I just shared my thoughts.

Now, for the new stuff:

Mimikyu (Model by WarfareMachine)

Freya Crescent (Model by WarfareMachine)

Portrait only loading option (Available on the startup screen)

When Portrait Only is enabled, it will load only a preview image of the character instead of the whole statue, which is less taxing on the memory. (Ideal to prevent crashed on Quest 3, but it also works on the PCVR client.)
A few things to note:
-Portrait Only doesn't load any metadata from the statues, so you can't get as many information as from the regular Statue Loading.
-The game need to reload the main menu every time you return to it, which takes a few seconds. Better than crashing I suppose.

Unlimited Voice Selection

With this update, voices are not gender/type locked anymore, so every voicepack is available for every character.

Save File Bugfix

I fixed a bug that would save an invalid skin ID and would cause to bug out some features, like skin changing and body shapes.

That's all for now.
