0. Updated the main screen.

1.1 You can use the gear icon on the main screen to set the twitch API and client secret which is created in the twitch console online.

1.1.1 You can access this area easily but pressing the "TWITCH CONSOLE" button on the config screen.

1.1.2 Once your secret and appid are configured and saved, you can turn on "Twitch Connect" - This requires you to restart the server app.

1.1.2.1 Once the server restarts, it will open a web browser and thank you for authenticating, this window can now be closed.

1.1.3 The Server main screen now also has a Force Commands to application option. This will attempt to find that application and send the commands to that window.

1.1.3.1 The command may fire before the window is focused depending on your machine speed. but should prevent that command from being sent somewhere else.

1.2 Once configured you can access the "twitch Chat" button on the second screen to see and configure your commands and twitch monitoring.

1.2.1 Use the Gear icon next to the "Chat-ON/OFF" button to configure the twitch commands and monitoring.

1.3 On the twtich chat config screen, you can set up to 3 channels to monitor + Your own

1.3.0 **** Entering the channels and your username is case sensitive ****.

1.3.1 When users !Cheer in you channel, the bits the spend will be recorded in the "bitbank"

1.3.1.1 The "bitbank" is recorded locally on your machine in the gametouch Save Folder in bitbank.log, This can be accessed easily by pressing the [open gametouch Save Folder] button on the server main screen.

1.3.1.2 The main twitch files located in the gametouch Save folder are

[bitbank.log twitch_commands.ini, twitchchatconfig.ini, twitch.ini, twitchdetail.enc]

Copy these files to any PC you wish to transfer your twitch configuration to.

1.3.2 the High cost command blocking allows you to set a bitbank value and cooldown, If a chat member spends a lot on a command (over the value), it will prevent all other commands being processed until that cooldown expires.

1.3.3 You can set up to 50 commands with individual bitbank costs, cooldowns and responses.

***** There is no need to put a ! in the command box use jump, not !jump *****

1.3.3.1 The cooldown set when configuring individual commands will prevent that command from triggering again until the cooldown expires.

1.3.3.2 the response format will be <User spent "XX" Bits to "Response">

1.3.3.3 there are 2 preset commands of !SCM and !miss. These will send a random value for the SCM slider and move the Cinematics Joystick (if configured) a random direction for 1 second.

1.3.4 You can enter any number of phrases and/or works in the notifications list, if they appear in chat in any channel you are monitoring, you will get a notification sound and the message will be highlighted.

1.3.4.1 The notifications in the list are separated by a return.

1.3 Once you have configured your Chat information and channels you wish to monitor, you can hit back and turn "Chat-ON" to begin monitoring Twitch channels.

1.4 All chat messages will be logged in an all messages and my messages file located in the Gametouch Save Folder.

2. The Joystick Calibration has been changed to prevent conflicts with other simultaneous vjoy devices. There should no longer be a need to calibrate the Vjoy on first install.

2.1 ***** If you had previously calibrated Vjoy, you will need to recalibrate *****

2.2 The default axis for the speed limiter (SCM slider) has changed, you will need to rebind it in Star Citizen. This was done to prevent star citizen setting the slider by default to Flight Movement - Roll

3. Fixed an error preventing the notification to start the server before attempting turret client setup.

4. Fixed Vjoy cameras not resetting when using mixed key and joy panning

_______________________________________ CLIENT _______________________________________

1. Added the ability to set automatic camera rotations on the Cinematics Panel to Random (Rand) completely random, random-no repeat (Norep) randomly from 1-9 without repeating, and linear (Line) goes from 1-9 .

Release - Version 8.45

Server and Client

Compatibility:

Server Compatible with older client versions: No

Client compatible with previous Profiles: Yes

Client compatible with previous Server Versions: No

vJoy Re-calibration required: No

Compatibility Exceptions:

1. vJoy Re-calibration should only be required if you change devices using the new defaults.

2. Previous underlay/Overlay packages will need updating to include the common files to Apply common imagery instead of the bespoke files being identical for each panel.

Key Features:

Added GTc Service Beacons

This section allows you to create custom service beacons visible to anyone using GTc, it also allows you to accept service beacons and leave reviews for those providing services

Beacon types include Delivery, Crew, Refueling, Maintenance, Transport, Medical, Combat Escorts and Other/Custom.

When beacons are set to tracked, you will get a notification appear on any screen if they are changed and by whom (accepted, cancelled, enroute etc)

*typical process loop Player A Creates a becaon,

Player B registers as an online provider and checks for Available Beacons.

Player B accepts Player A's Beacon and sends a friend request to player A (either from inside same server or from main menu)

Player A accepts friend request Player B joins Player A's server (join friend) and changes statues to "Enroute"

Player B delivers the services and updates the Beacon to Deleivered

Player A sends Player B the funds.

Player A updates the Beacon to Complete and leaves a comment / review/5

**I am unsure how well this database function will scale as I am new to this type of thing, please report if you have any issues.

Added a Turret Blade Client function:

This allows you to pass 2 joystick commands from one PC to another running the GTc Server The effect is essentially to press your trigger on your main joystick and it will fire a vJoy button on the remote server. Effectively allowing you to use an ALT account in a turret and fire both your pilot and turret weapons with a single joystick button.

*Requires Manual conneciton settings entered on the main PC (the one your joystick is physically connected to) GTc Server Panel 2

**requires a second SC account and server running on another PC with vJoy Installed.

***I will be adding an option in the future for mouse/kb users to send mouse buttons 1/2 to the turret client also (this should be a server hotfix in the next couple weeks)

Additional Features:

Added an option to hear most button sounds through the server, a checkbox to mute this is on the server main panel

This can sometimes feel to sound delayed because the sound fires with the command which is on button release, not button press.

The Client side sounds are fired on button press locally on the client.

Changes:

When loading a new version for the first time, your previous 'default' profile will be saved as 'default_old' and the new standard profile will be loaded.

This will hopefully alleviate alot of issues for people using the standard profile if they have not updated in a while.

Authentication of windows clients will now last 1 week.

Changed how overlays are created

There is now an Overlay_Common.png and Underlay_Common.png checked in the underlay/overlay packages you create- This will be applied to all screens that you haven't given a specific image.

The new Service Beacon panels have had underlay/overlay file checks added also. The specific files required for Overlays/Underlays can be found on the GTc website in the manual, or in the downloads for the templates.

The flight 2 panel ship icon is now part of the default overlay package, you can create a custom overlay for to replace this ship icon now, without having to try cover over the old icon.

Made the android clients force Fullscreen (should fix some people have a taskbar on android).

Changed the Auto-Ping button to do a single ping if the duration slider is set to 0 Seconds instead of do nothing. This also freed up the previous default Ping buttons

changed the default PING button on mining and salvage screens to Radar Tag "p"

changed cycle friendly targets on flight panel to port locking toggle

changed clear target on the flight panel to to cycle friendly

added request rescue to FPS Panel

added cycle gadgets to FPS Panel

added toggle Helmet to FPS Panel * default unbound in star citizen (recommend H)

Changed the vjoy installation to automatically set to device 4 with 128 buttons

When changing vjoy device on the server, there is now a set vjoy device button which will also run a command to remove the current vjoy and add a new one with 128 buttons.

Bug Fixes:

Fixed a crash when trying to get files from the server which has none

Fixed the Underlay/Overlay for the Flight 2 Panel not working

Blank Buttons will no longer try and send an empty command to the server.

The Radar will only attempt to turn off when transitioning from a screen, if the radar is on.

The slider on the salvaging panel should now correctly default to 0% on start

Improved the ability for the server to handle multiple commands overlaps, this means you should also be able to use the device while transferring files.

*you still cannot queue multiple file transfer types.

Fixed the saving cam presets from inadvertanetly running the command twice, this could cause it to sometimes resave after you had already changes the camera back.
