JCM v2.3.0 for MTR 4.0.5 has been released!

Note: This release contains a large amount of internal changes. Some existing addons dependent on JCM may be incompatible until updated.

A non-exhaustive highlight of this release are as follows. For more details, please review the changelog for previous betas/prereleases.

General

• Add Emergency Train Stop Button (Wall mounted, TML/URL) (Thanks LX9702!)
• Spot Lamp & Railway Sign Pole (MTR) may now adapt to slab blocks.
• Added several optimizations (For both MTR & JCM), which is hoped to improve frame-rate and reduce memory usage.
• Fixes the "infamous" BVE Sound getting stuck bug.
• Cache rail node so that rail preview no longer disappear after long distances.
• Re-added the "sitting" feature in MTR 3.

Technical

Sign Coloring

• The text for MTR Railway Sign may now be colored using the textColor property.

Scripting

• Add Lift Scripting, refer to the documentation for details.
• A non-stablized method of adding custom config for Eyecandy has been added. Some ANTE eyecandy scripts which passively read config may now work.
• Various new APIs and changes for convenience of scripting. Refer to the docs & changelog for details.
• Add a new global rateLimit property for script entries.
• Fix a potential bug causing vehicle stops data to not be fetched.

PIDS Scripting

This release introduces a somewhat breaking change for PIDS Projector:

• By default, PIDS Projector can no longer render out of bound.
  • This is done to conserve performance, in particular vanilla text rendering (Text.create) can be very heavy for frame-rate. (This is not related to JS execution speed)
  • Please manually add a "outOfBound": true property for the relevant preset in joban_custom_resources.json to true if:
    • Your script requires constant background running.
    • You experience your PIDS disappearing midway. (Note: There's some leniency for the out-of-bound rules, so e.g. a 2x1 is still acceptable)
    • You think the frame-rate impact of your PIDS is negligible. (e.g. AWT-drawn text)
• Added Rect for rendering a solid color quad, instead of needing Texture.
