Barre Version 2.1 Whats New?

Barre 2.1 is a nice improvement over the previous versions. This is by far the most stablest version. I went to the bug list and started squashing bugs. I am very pleased with the results.

The feed back I have been getting consists of comment like... "OMG! The sim is full and my hud doesn't lag!" or "All my other huds are laggy, why does barre working when they don't?".

It is true. Barre does work on laggy sims where other HUDs just die out. It took over a year of development and testing to be able to offer a dance tool like this to the public. What appears to be just another dance HUD, Barre truly is not.


New features to look for...
*Sequence Recording. Now you can record your dancing as it happen directly to a database
*Play back Recorded Sequences from database
*Send Recorded Sequence to web page for
*Copy animations and note cards to HUD added.
*Menus added to the Copy animation scripts.
*Copy animations macro added to the Tools menu.
Macros Functions added…
*[NEXT]  - Runs following sequences or macros.
*[LOOP:00]  - Loops for a specified amount of times.
Note : These macros can be added to your normal dance sequences to create some AWESOME dance sets
Chat Commands added
*/11Random ON – Turns on random mode from chat
*/11Random OFF – Turns off random mode from chat
*/11Random time – Sets the default random timing from chat
Fixes…
*Sequences now run quicker.
*Sequence paging calculated incorrectly sometimes. Paging is now a dynamic calculation.
*Random and Random Sequence flopping are now quicker.
*Other minor tweaks

Sequence recorder is a hidden. So you want to pay attention here to find out how to use it.
At the top of the HUD is the ballerina icon. If you touch the head of the ballerina the recorder will turn on, record your dances and the length between each dance. Clicking on the ballerina's head again will turn off the recorder and save the recorded sequence to the recorder database. The recorder database will be displayed and you will also get a web page link that will show in chat. If you close chat or want the web page to appear again just click on the extended foot of the ballerina the link will be displayed in chat again and you can then open the web page. The recorder database can be found in the storage slot listing (the Oreos buttons at the bottom of the HUD).

The web page is there to make it easier to copy the sequence you created to a note card. Also keep in mind that any time you start a new recording the recorder database is cleared for the new recording. This also means you wont have the old recording on the web page. So copy and paste before you start a new recording.
