v0.6.0 is a major optimization and mod-compatibility release for the physics-based PC VR edition.
Highlights
- Major renderer batching and redundant state-change reductions, including distant Chain Chomp/Bob-omb Battlefield optimization.
- General actor, flame, lava, weather/effect, menu, shader-preparation, and startup optimizations.
- Correct HUD opacity while keeping the optional FPS counter readable.
- Character Selector and multi-character-pack compatibility work with stereoscopic VR menu presentation.
- Improved Lua mod, DynOS pack, palette, character-model, and shader-cache integration.
- Native OpenXR controller suggestions for Meta Touch, Valve Index, HTC Vive, Windows Mixed Reality/Samsung Odyssey, and generic profiles used by runtimes such as SteamVR.
- Stability improvements across first person, third person, physical carrying, climbing, caps, Bowser throws, and mod-heavy startup.
The README now begins with installation, mod setup, controls, and a detailed first-person physical-interaction tutorial. Third-person gamepad mode remains supported with the default and free cameras.
