Changelog

BREAKING CHANGES are changes that break an existing instance compared to the previous version: after updating, something stops working as it did until you adapt it.

1.6.0

Added

• Waiting room for firstJoin. Players wait behind a color, image or GIF, then watch the video together. Choose how many players, which names or teams are needed, and whether it starts by itself or when an operator says so.
• worldPosition condition. Plays a video when a player enters or leaves an area.
• LAN support. Guests now receive the host's conditions, options and video files, as on a dedicated server.
• Player protection (protectPlayer, on by default). During any video the player takes no damage or hunger, picks up nothing and can't be pushed. Their game mode doesn't change.
• World freeze (freezeWorld, on by default for firstJoin only). The world stops while every connected player is watching.
• Exclusions. excludePlayers, excludeTeams and excludeOps per condition.
• More playback options. conditionDelay, replayOnReconnect and disableLoadingScreen per condition, and startAt per video.
• defaultVolume in conditionalvideos-common.json, for videos without their own volume.
• More text placement. Titles and descriptions accept center or exact X/Y pixels, and can be aligned with videoTitleAlignment and videoDescriptionAlignment.
• New commands. reset clears what a player has watched, set edits a value and applies it right away, and waitingroom controls the room.
• play options. delay, exclude, excludeteam, excludeops, once and sync change a single run without touching the file.
• API: playOnServer and PlayOptions.
• Config problems are reported in the log and in the chat of whoever can fix them.
• Condition files edited by hand apply right away, also for connected players.

Changed

• BREAKING: WATERMeDIA 3.0.0 and Native Binaries 3.0.0 are now required. Older versions, including the 3.0.0.x betas, are no longer compatible.
  • API 3.0.0.23 → 3.0.0
  • Native Binaries 3.0.0.6 → 3.0.0
• BREAKING: each condition now has its own file. conditionalvideos.json and conditionalvideos-server.json are replaced by the conditions/ and server-conditions/ folders in config/conditionalvideos/. They migrate on the first launch and the originals stay as .bak, but modpacks or scripts that ship or edit the old files must move to the new ones.
• BREAKING: commands name a condition with separate arguments. play @a entityKilled/minecraft:warden is now play @a entityKilled minecraft:warden. Command blocks and functions need updating. API keys don't change.
• BREAKING: repeatableInSameSession: false now means once per player and world, also on servers, where it used to play again on every connection. Singleplayer worlds keep what they already watched.
• BREAKING: play skips players who still have a video going instead of queuing the new one for them.
• BREAKING: titles and descriptions no longer wrap on their own. They only break at \n, so long single-line texts need it added. Text boxes now fit their text.
• repeatableInSameSession left out of a file now means true, except on firstJoin. Migrated conditions keep playing as they did.
• firstJoin no longer puts the player in spectator mode. Player protection replaces it.
• Videos now silence every sound category except Master, so mods with their own audio that follow the sliders go quiet too. allowGameSounds still turns this off.
• videoQuality uses WATERMeDIA's quality names: LOWEST, LOWER, LOW, LOWISH, MEDIUM, HIGH, HIGHER, HIGHEST and ULTRA_8K.
• The server also sets videoLoadTimeoutSeconds and defaultVolume for its players.
• Clearer debugLogging. Client and server each read their own option, every line says where it runs, and the log explains why a video plays or not.
• New license. All Rights Reserved is replaced by the ConditionalVideos License: free for any server and any free modpack, while charging for anything that uses the mod requires permission.
• Inherited the fixes and hardening of the updated WATERMeDIA stack.

Fixed

• Clients can no longer put themselves in spectator mode on a server.
• A disconnect or a crash no longer leaves a player stuck in spectator, and creative players no longer come back flying.
• Vulkan stalls and crashes while a video plays on 26.2.
• videoLoop and playlists no longer wait up to 10 seconds between videos. The next video now starts as soon as the current one ends.
• YouTube videos no longer lose part of their picture after a long pause. A video paused for a while, including one waiting its turn in a loop or playlist, now resumes without skipping anything.
• The world no longer shows between videos during skips and transitions.
• The mod no longer rewrites your config files. & codes stay as written, and the common config only gets the options it lacks.
