Update: v1.4.0

Just in time for Halloween, vts-heartrate updates to version 1.4.0 with some delightful new features, well-suited for scary games.

NEW FEATURES:

• VFX Support! Dynamically control any of the fabulous VTube Studio post-processing VFX with your heart rate! Experience distortion that pulses in time with your heart, or become increasingly desaturated and unstable as your heart rate climbs! The possibilities are endless.
• Built-in Stream Widget! Usable as aas a Browser Source in OBS, or as a Web Item in VTube Studio. It prints your heartrate in real time, and the backing image does a pulsing animation at the corresponding speed. Can be customized with Custom CSS in either case!
• Heartrate Offsets! Apply a flat +/- value to add or subtract from your real heartrate; perfect for folks who may feel sheepish about their naturally high or low BPM. (NOTE: this feature was added at the behest of Henemimi who told me to say “can you put me in the patch note and say this is for henemimi who said her heart rate is cringe”)

CHANGES:

• Pulsoid and HypeRate now natively support Fitbit! As such, users using the Fitbit input module will receive a pop-up recommendation to switch to one of these options, which are assuredly more stable and less convoluted than my own Fitbit solution.

Attached is an example of a VFX config I have set up, as well as the values I used to achieve it. I think it looks pretty good!

As always, if you find any bugs or have any feature requests, just email me or reach out to me on any platform! My contact information can all be found on skeletom.net.
