XToys Updates - May 22 2022

DG-Lab Coyote and Frequency Control

The main thing I've been working on this month is expanding the ability to control the frequency on the DG-Lab Coyote. The changes should hopefully all be published in a couple days.

1. Basic and Scripted patterns have been updated to handle frequency data, and also the editor layout has been updated to allow for adjusting the pattern speed and such at each step of the pattern.

2. Audio patterns can now contain frequency data.

3. I've re-written the local audio pattern functionality to load the file on-demand instead of the entire file up front. Which should prevent large files from crashing the Android app. And local audio can also contain frequency data.

4. The system audio functionality has been updated so that it now works for cards configured for 5.1 and 7.1 surround sound.

5. And finally, I'm also adding the optional ability to set one pattern to control the Coyote intensity and a separate patten to control the frequency. So you can for example have a regular pattern like the Toggle pattern jump the frequency back and forth between low and high while still controlling the intensity separately as usual.

Upcoming Things

After the Coyote changes are published I'm looking at:

• Making it a bit easier to use patterns in Scripts and Teases by actually displaying the patterns in the pattern select and allowing you to create a simple pattern right in the editor.
• Fixing the floating controls for shock collar toys as those have been broken for a couple months now.
• Improving stroking/thrusting toy support by fixing some timing issues, improving how the patterns are drawn, adding support for the Fredorch, and looking at the Stroke Engine library used by the OSSM.
• Adding support for text-to-speech in the online chat
• Adding support for the Edge-o-matic (ie. edging/orgasm detection)
• Looking at making it so multiple people can connect to the same Discord bot instance more easily for having everyone's toys react the same to Discord events
