This version of melodi marks a slight shift in direction features wise, as some features will be moved to melodi unlit like originally planned. This release also includes a few bug fixes and additions.

Major Changes:​

• Shader is now fully SPI(Single pass instanced) ready!
• Fixed an issue with AudioLink UV animations being broken and disabling general UV animations when enabled. (Reported by Alyng)

• (⭐) Renamed the material property for Specular Settings > Smoothness for internal organization.
• (⭐) Fixed an issue with BeatSaber Settings > Trailmask > AudioLink > Alpha/Glow Bypass that caused it to override alpha even when audio link was not present.

Removals:​

Major Changes:​

• Fixed issues with audio link parameters using incorrect math in certain functions.
• Fixed Cutout alpha mode not properly using trail mask.
• Changed the property name for Cutoff to fix an issue where it would default to 0.5 instead of 0. (Fixes alpha opaque bug.)

• Removed Rotation Speed from all AL Chronotensity based options.
• Increased Effect Speed maximum on all chronotensity based options from 1 to 3.
• Fixed all time based parameters to utilize time properly and fixed consistency issues in large unity time values.
• Completely reworked Randomize axis under AudioLink > Object Rotation to utilize AL chrono properly now.
• Randomize axis under AudioLink > Object Rotation is no longer multiplicative of object rotation axis.
• Removed Effect Type from AudioLink > Object Rotation as it conflicted with randomize axis.
• Reworked the math and parameters completely for Object Rotation to support future growth.
• Reduced the number of samplers across the shader through the utilization of sampler states.
• Made rotation mode a toggle-able feature. tied the AudioLink menu for it to its enabled-state.
• Added a gamma correction toggle to all color palette selectors.
• (⭐) Fixed tangent calculation in physically lit mode for object rotations (fixes funky normals.)
• (⭐) Adjusted the math around specular to fix high parameter numbers causing the effect to spill past a set specular map and other specularity visual issues.
• (⭐) Completely reworked the lit mode custom lighting model to fix lighting calculation.
• (⭐) Fixed issues with vertex lighting (point/spot lights) and vertex/object animation.
• (⭐) Added a toggle for vertex lighting support under Shader Options when lit mode is set to Physical.
• (⭐) Added shading color settings to the simulated lighting menu.
• (⭐) Changed manual light position to a float3 from a set of 3 ranged (-1, 1) floats.
• (⭐) Added a position type enum to manual light direction mode to swap from local and world pos.
