v3.12.0 Beta 4

Caution

This release contains a critical bug that removes every non-demo songs in the Songs folder.

Always back up your songs before trying out the beta!

New features

• Added Litematica-compatible .nbt output to schematic and track export. Unlike Structure Block output, the Litematica option writes the exact dimensions of the exported structure instead of a 32-block-compatible header.
• Added a unified format selector to schematic and track export. Track export can now also create 1.11-1.12 and pre-1.11 .schematic files.
• Added .nbs file association and nbs:// URL handling to Linux AppImage builds.
  • Launching an .nbs file opens it in the editor.
  • Opening an nbs:// link launches NBS in player mode.
  • The registration follows the AppImage if it is moved after being launched from its new location.
• Added "nbs" as a Linux application launcher search keyword.
• Added dynamic Source Han Sans fallback for characters missing from the preloaded fonts, expanding the range of text that can be displayed correctly.
• Added two demo songs:
  • "Touhou 9 - Reach for the moon (Remastered)", showcasing the trumpet instruments. (Credit to @VulkanRafar)
  • "Living Millennium", showcasing Sound Stopper. (Credit to @GMHthe)

• Added a warning when opening or saving files inside the program directory, where GameMaker redirects file access to the user-data directory.
• Added validation and error handling to song saving and other buffer exports.
  • A full disk, an unwritable destination or a failed copy now displays a clear error instead of crashing or silently producing an incomplete file.
  • Failed song saves leave the current changes open so they can be saved elsewhere.
• Fixed log writing being able to crash when the log file cannot be written.
• Removed additional stale bundled files from the user-data directory.
• Changed bundled song copying to copy only .nbs files and added a notice not to store personal songs in the program's bundled Songs directory.
• Refactored reference audio synchronization into dedicated scripts for easier maintenance.

Note for Linux users

• We cannot possibly extend our support to every Linux distro out there, but we will do our best to support as many as we can.
• Make sure to report any issues you encounter with your specific distro!
• Dependencies: KDE desktops require kdialog. Other desktop environments require zenity to be installed. You'll also need 7zip for some of the export functions to work.

macOS build

3.11.0

Additions

• Added a button on the greeting window to open Note Block World, our brand new website for browsing and sharing note block songs!

• Added a sound import assistant to help you use sounds from Minecraft: Java Edition in your songs!

  • Accessible from Settings > Import sounds from Minecraft.
  • Make sure to launch the version you want from the Launcher before importing its sounds. Set your Minecraft installation path and game version, click the button to get sounds and watch them get imported automagically!
  • The sounds from the selected version will be copied to the 'minecraft' folder in your Sounds folder.

• It is now possible to save a song with its custom sound files attached.

  • Reach over to File > Save song with instruments... to find this option.
  • This makes sharing songs with custom instruments easier than ever!
  • The saved file is a regular ZIP file containing the song, as well as the sound files used in it.
  • This feature replaces the 'Export sounds' option, previously accessible from the Instruments window.

• The behavior for clicking layer buttons has been changed:

  • You can now click and drag over consecutive buttons to trigger them without needing to click each one.
  • This should make it much easier to add, remove, select, lock and solo multiple layers!
  • Selected layers can now be deselected by pressing the 'Select all blocks in this layer' button a second time. [#476]
  • Holding Ctrl is no longer necessary to select multiple layers.

• The fade in and fade out macros now work relatively to each note's velocity, multiplying it by the decay factor. [#484]

  • Previously, only the first note block in each selected column would be taken into account for determining all velocity values in that column.
  • Notes at each end of the selection will no longer go down to velocity 0, or into negative values.

• Added Minecraft version setting to data pack export.

  • You can choose between 1.13-1.20 and 1.21+.
  • This was necessary due to a change in the internal structure of data packs, in order to not break compatibility with older versions.

• Added a new auto-recovery system which takes multiple open instances into account:

  • Songs with unsaved changes are saved to a backup directory every minute.
  • When NBS quits abnormally (due to a crash, power loss or system restart), you'll be prompted to recover the files the next time you open the program.
  • Clicking 'Yes' will copy the files to a restore directory so you can move them somewhere else.
  • Clicking 'No' will leave the unsaved files in the backup directory so you can recover them later.
  • You can also open the backup directory by going to File > 'Restore unsaved files'.
  • This mechanic is experimental, so make sure to leave your feedback so we can improve it further!

• Note Block Studio now registers itself as a handler for the nbs:// URL protocol on startup.

  • This can be used to download and open NBS files directly from an external application, such as a blog or website.
  • By default, the program will launch in the player mode when handling the protocol.
  • To prevent security risks, the file won't be opened if it can't be detected as a valid song, or if it's over a certain size.

• Added a 'Loop end tick' option in the song properties.

  • Setting it to a tick greater than the song length will add a silent note at that tick to move the loop end point further.

• Removed the 'Loop to bar end' option from Preferences.

  • This option was misleading in that it 'masked' the true loop point of the song, which is after the last tick - causing playback behavior to vary across different NBS installations.
  • To make sure your songs loop at the right point, change the 'Loop end tick' in the song properties, or manually add a note block with velocity 0 at the last tick before the intended looping point.
  • This setting may be re-added in the future as a property stored in each song file.

• Blackout mode is now available in Player Mode, including the shortcut (F10)! [#404]

• If present, the song author and original author are now displayed in the Player Mode's main view.

• Added new OpenNBS social links to the greeting window, the Help menu and the About window.

• Added donation links! If NBS is useful to you and you'd like to support its development, feel free to check out this option in the greeting window or the Help menu.

• Added a small banner to the greeting window which lets you buy us a coffee via our Open Collective. Thank you!

Bugfixes and improvements

• All operations involving selections are now much, much faster - including loading a song, moving, selecting, placing and deleting notes, changing note properties, applying macros, and undoing or redoing actions. (thanks @IoeCmcomc!) (#448)

• Fixed a crash when compressing a selection with some particular note arrangements. (thanks @IoeCmcomc!)
• Loading and saving songs have been made much faster. (thanks @IoeCmcomc!)
• Fixed layer names below the workspace's visible area getting deleted when adding a new layer. (thanks @chenxi050402!)

• Fixed a crash that could happen after moving the selection under all layers.
• Fixed the volume slider number popup going past the intended range. (thanks @chenxi050402!)
• Transparency effects are now disabled if setting them up failed in the last session. (thanks @chenxi050402!)

• Reduced the maximum channel count with the 'Use more audio sounds' option enabled from 32,768 to 1,024, the largest value effectively allowed by GameMaker. (thanks @chenxi050402!)
• Removed the button to watch tutorial videos from the greeting window.
• Lag compensation is now cancelled if too much time has elapsed (for example, when moving the window around). Playback will resume from the previous point instead of skipping a large section.
• Lag compensation is now applied to more internal timers, which should be more accurate to wall-clock time:
  • Auto-save and backup saving timers;
  • Flash animation when editing piano keyboard shortcuts;
  • Time tracker for minutes spent in a song;
  • Scrollbar appear animation for fullscreen mode.
• Ticks behind the playback marker will no longer play when dragging it around.
• Fixed pointer cursor not appearing when hovering keys at the edges of the piano in Player Mode. [#486]
