Strivr Creator release notes
February 2023
Strivr Creator for Dialogue version 2.20: New landing page behavior
Each time a user opens Strivr Creator for Dialogue, they will now be presented with an Experiences panel, including
-
A list of available experiences they can open
-
A button to create a new experience
When the user selects an experience from the list, a message indicates if that experience is being worked on and, if so, by whom. Previously, each time a user opened the application, a new experience was created.

Strivr Creator for 360 Video version 2.20: End Experience property now available
All users can now see and adjust the End Experience property for any video clip. If Next Clip is set to None for a video clip, the video clip below it in the Tree view will play when it finishes. If Next Clip for a video clip specifies another target clip, that video clip will play when it finishes. If End Experience is set to On for a video clip (and the clip does not contain a branching event), the experience ends when that clip finishes playing.

Strivr Creator for 360 Video version 2.20: Experience duration units
Experience duration, a user-entered value, is now in minutes instead of seconds.

Strivr Creator for Dialogue: Search assets by name
To help find character line and sound assets quickly, users can now search and sort by name.
Strivr Creator for Dialogue: Playback enabled when character is set to none
The playback event now works even when no character is set for a scene. This functionality is helpful when testing playback.
Strivr Creator for Dialogue Bug Fix: Alphabetized drop-down lists
Throughout Strivr Creator for Dialogue, lists in drop-down menus (such as characters, animations, environments, and audio files) are now alphabetized.
Strivr Creator for Dialogue Bug Fix: Missing assets
When one or more assets were missing when loading an experience, the loading progress indicator would stick, and users were unable to continue. Now, a list of missing assets will appear and the user will have the choice to quit or continue (with a warning that the experience may not function properly.)

Strivr Creator for Dialogue Bug Fix: Experience search
Experience Name search is now case-insensitive.

Terminology change: Programs are now Courses
Throughout Strivr applications, the term Course now replaces the term Program. Courses are the top-level container for training content. Courses contain modules, which in turn contain experiences, single units of training content. More about courses
Strivr Creator for 360 Video version 2.14: Publishing changes
Program editing removed
The Program Editing tab has been removed from the Strivr Creator for 360 Video interface.
Direct publishing to Portal
Users can now publish experiences directly to the Content Library in the Strivr Portal. From the Content Library, permitted users then assemble experiences into modules and courses for distribution to headsets. Find the Publish to Portal command under the File menu.

Strivr Creator for Dialogue: Experience metadata
In the Properties panel for an experience, users can now enter extended metadata (information) for each experience, to help categorize and differentiate the experience in the Content Library.
-
Description is a short summary of the experience. The experience description appears in the Content Library to help identify the experience.
-
Thumbnail image appears in the Content Library and to learners in the headset.
-
Language describes the language in which the experience was recorded.
-
Duration is the approximate length of the experience in seconds.
-
Content type toggles indicate whether the experience includes 360 video or CG (Computer Graphics) content. This should either be left as the default or 360 video should be set to On (right position).

Strivr Creator for Dialogue: Preview Window
Users can now see and play what they are building as they create a CG experience. When users select a stack (a grouped set of assets/animations/sound) in the Map view, the preview window updates in real time to show that stack. For example if a user selects a different character in the Properties panel, the preview window updates in real time to show the new character.
Users can click the Play button at the bottom of the preview window to play the selected stack. This plays the audio (character lines and environment audio), animations, and loads placards sequenced by time.

Strivr Creator for Dialogue: Error Check
Users can view a list of warnings and errors for any CG experience. From the Window menu, select Error Check to open an Error Check panel. The Error Check panel checks the experience, and the scenes and events it contains, for warnings and errors. Warnings are marked with a yellow triangle; they do not prevent an experience from being published but are suggestions for best results. Errors are marked with a red circle; they prevent an experience from being published and must be fixed.
For warnings and errors at the experience level, users can click each warning or error to open the experience settings where they can fix the problem. Warnings and errors at the scene and event level appear alongside the name of the scene or event. Users can highlight the scene or event in the Map view to show its details in the Properties panel.
