Release v1.5.0 - Skin Width

Added skin width feature to the project.

Might take a break for a bit given the announcement of Unity's new Unity plan pricing and packaging updates from September 12th.

[1.5.0] 2024-09-14

• Added basic navmesh example for using OpenKCC movement engine with a navmesh
  agent to simulate basic path finding.
• Added basic buttons and controls for look, jump, and move actions for
  the character controller that can be enabled manually and are automatically
  loaded when the game is opened from a mobile device in a web browser.
• Fixed small bug in KCCStateMachine causing player to stop jumping
  when they are walking up steps or slopes.
• Added SkinWidth parameter to IKCCConfig and KCCMovementEngine to allow
  for a buffer space around the character when computing movement to avoid
  numerical precision errors for physics system.
• Modified extensions of AbstractPrimitiveColliderCast to store their
  collider parameters in the collider cast component itself and copy
  those parameters to the collider. Although if this has not been
  configured yet, it will search for an existing collider.
• Re-implemented example KCCMovementEngineWithPush to show how to use
  ICharacterPush to push objects with the KCCMovementEngine

Release v1.4.0 - Basic Foot IK and Backwards Compatibility

Two main new features added were basic foot ik and automated tests and validation for backwards version compatibility.

Changelog

• Removed Moq dependency for tests.
• Updated project version to 20202.2.16f1 and added automated tests for
  backwards compatibility for versions 2019.4, 2020.3, 2021.3
• Removed reduction in momentum due to snapping up as it was causing player to
  sometimes get stuck on corners of small slopes.
• Updated project version to 2021.3.25f1
• Corrected basic overlap for when feet intersect with a wall or ramp.
• Added support for LayerMask for the HumanoidFootIK raycast checks
• Created class IRaycastHelper for easily mocking raycast checks.
• Overhauled existing animations to play well with foot ik and fixed import
  errors due to lazy coding
• Re-imported and created new animations so they are configured for Michelle's avatar
• Created HumanoidFootIK and FootTarget classes to manage basic player foot IK
• Created HumanoidFootIKEditor to bake animation curves for player movement
  when I'm too lazy to do it manually. Then proceeded to
  manually adjusted curves for player foot IK
• Added tests to verify basic behavior of HumanoidFootIK and FootTarget classes
• Updated avatar configurations and settings to support HumanoidFootIK usage
  for basic test scene
• Added more test objects in the SampleScene to verify new foot behaviors.
• Addressing small bug in player movement caused by stair movement normals
  not being computed properly when walking down stairs.

Release v1.3.4

[1.3.4] 2023-04-01

• Refactored common assets (like UI) to ExampleFirstPersonKCC sample

• Added new type of IColliderCast in PrimitiveColliderCast which can select
  between different parameters via the ColliderConfiguration which includes
  a property drawer and custom editor for making it easier to
  configure and see changes reflected in the game.

• Small patch to accessability modifiers for CameraConfig.CameraDistance

• Added parameters to IManagedCamera:
  CameraBase and PlayerBase

• Small updates to DrawKCCBounces to improve the debug view.

• Small fix to BufferedInput to allow for resetting cooldown timer.

• Updated KCCMovementEngine to support layer masks for deciding what
  the player can and cannot collide with.

  Note this may cause problems with existing instances of the KCCMovementEngine
  so I included an updated configuration to serialize a version number
  for the KCCMovementEngine, if this serialized version number is not set,
  it will update the KCCMovementEngine to use a default value of
  colliding with everything which was the previous behaviour.

• Small fixes to mole example movement, need to re-design the camera and mole
  movement interactions so they work together better.

• Significantly improved the mole example and added color changing particles.

• Fixed a bug where the mole would fall off walls.

• Updated the IColliderCast and KCCUtils apis to support passing
  an optional LayerMask and QueryTriggerInteraction parameters.

[1.3.3] 2023-2-16

• Small update to cinemachine example settings for first person vcam.
• Updated package to use statemachineunity.netcode instead of statemachineunity.netcode
  package.

[1.3.2] 2023-2-14

• Changed RelativeParentConfig to be a class to better persist information
  between updates instead of having data reset improperly.

Cinemachine Package v1.3.1

Added support and example for cinemachine.

see the live demo at https://nickmaltbie.com/OpenKCC/Cinemachine

OpenKCC

• Adjusted how stairs and snap down are handled in KCCMovementEngine
  and KCCUtils to make player slowly move up or down stairs based on
  the remaining movement speed of the player.
• Adjusted KCCMovementEngine to have a max speed for snapping down
  to stop the player from teleporting down harshly and making player camera
  jitter.
• Added IOnPlayerTeleport to listen to teleport events from
  the KCCMovementEngine and respond accordingly.

OpenKCC.inemachine

• Added basic SmoothAvatarPos to smooth avatar position based on some damping
  factor to smooth out any jittery movements of the player when snapping
  up or down surfaces.
• Added basic test scene and scripts for different camera perspectives including:
  • Over the shoulder camera
  • Third person re-centering camera
  • First person camera
• Initial setup of cinemachine project.

KCC Movement Engine v1.3.0

Rewrote the existing apis for the OpenKCC to use the KCCStateMachine for all calls to move the character similar to how the built-in character controller in unity is used.

Note : This update will not automatically copy values for KCCStateMachine from the previous API version to the current API because they are not compatible and have a simplified resource values now. Sorry for any inconvenience this causes. The latest Usage notes should provide any necessary information on how to update your parameters as needed.

OpenKCC Changes

• Updated docs website to include multiple versions of the API.
• Added test coverage for KCCMovementEngine and refactored code.
• Removed some unused functions and properties from KCCMovementEngine, KCCUtils, and IKCCConfig.
• Added some tests for the untested behaviors.
• Refactored existing code to remove the HumanoidKCCConfig and moved most functionality to the KCCMovementEngine.
• Removed velocity from the KCCMovementEngine and manage this variable in the higher level KCCStateMachine or any other consumer
  of the movement engine features.
• Refactored the IKCCConfig to remove any values not directly used by the KCCUtils.
• Disabled player pushing and will add into back into the KCCMovementEngine at some future point if required.
• Simplified parameters for the KCCStateMachine to be easier to understand for an end user who doesn't want to configure all these values.
• Refactored debug draw code for character controller.
• Updated APIs available in the KCCMovementEngine to allow for passing a movement in world space to move the player.
• Changed KCCMovementEngine to get the configuration values from the KCCConfig and not from a MovementSettingsAttribute
• Depreciated old fields in the MovementSettingsAttribute that will be removed in a future update.

OpenKCC.netcode Changes

• Added documentation to the MoleMovementEngine.
• Refactored the NetworkKCC and Mole Sample to use the new KCCMovementEngine. Also simplified parameters to follow the same design as KCCStateMachine.
• Added giant to climb on for the mole demo
• Touched up MoleKCCSample to be better configured
• Updated NetworkKCC and MoleCharacter to use newer KCCMovementEngine APIs.

Refactoring Samples v1.2.3

Mostly changes to OpenKCC.netcode and MoleKCCSample project to make importing them more easy.

[1.2.3] 2023-1-17

• Updated readme with notes on how to install required libraries.

Sample Mole Character 1.2.0

Refactored some of the calls to the KCCUtils api in the state machines to instead go through KCCMovementEngine, a new mono behaviour that makes abstracting the calls and common code for moving platforms, stairs, velocity, and gravity much easier.

As an example, worked to add the new "MoleKCCSample" to the project as a new networked KCC that has the ability to climb surfaces while digging. See PR #128 for details.

OpenKCC Changelog
