Since I will use complex animation curves, I choose to interpolate by myself and makima interpolation will have overshoot between two parallel points. If there is no interpolation and the user selects pchip interpolation, the smoothness will be somewhat reduced. I interpolate by myself in order to convert the script From 90 points to 100 points, many users actually don’t understand interpolation at all. If I regard my script as a product, I must think more about it.

In fact, I have always wanted to give Yoooi an idea: when scaling the script, do not scale uniformly. Actions with an amplitude of <20 can not be scaled, so as to avoid these actions becoming imperceptible after being scaled.
In addition, I have carefully studied the interpolation algorithm. Yoooi has done a good job in this regard, but spline interpolation is not equal to the animation curve. The situation of the animation curve is much more complicated. Regarding the speed changes produced by the animation curve, you can actually perceive it because The nerve synapses on the sexual organs are very rich
Another practical experience is that when using makima interpolation and your script has two parallel points, overshooting will cause safety problems. The user’s sexual organ may come out. I have experienced such a danger.
If you are interested, you can study the overshoot analysis of the interpolation algorithm. I think it’s better to forget it. This requires very high mathematics.
If you are just doing a simple up/down triangle wave pattern then probably not, it will interpolate to more or less a sine wave. But if you want to spend the additional time you will always have more control over the smoothness if you do it manually.
I think it makes a lot of difference if you add additional points between stroke top/bottom to change the speed and acceleration ramp up/down, rather then just doing sine wave.
Basically the two bottom images from your post here: On Script Interpolation / Curved Strokes - #24 by Falafel
Ideally the funscript format would include tangents for each point, then you will have full control over interpolation, but we need OFS to support that first.
Yea I have random thoughts about new scaling methods in #156 on github. The current one is pretty useless.
PChip and makima were the only two suitable interpolation algorithms I could find, spline and cosine are worse. There will always be drawbacks to interpolation, ideal solution is to have tangents in funscripts for full control.

Yes, tangent is the best solution. It’s a pity that the author of OFS archived the project. I have seen the source code of OFS. I don’t have that much free time to contribute to OFS. Besides, I am not very proficient in C#. I am most familiar with python, java and nodejs…
I believe this concern was prompt by a reply in my old post:
But this is basically what I wanted to know. Thanks for answering!
And thanks for @codeScripter 's insights as well. Just wanna say I didn’t mean to disapprove your workflow in anyway and I appreciated all the dedication and craftsmanship poured into your scripts.

tested in 1.29.1 and 1.29.2-- my keybinds *dont work on loading the app until I open up the shortcut menu. 1.28.2 doesn’t have that prob.

Btw, i did test the setup and on most parts it works great. Its only vibration patterns in scripts that it just cannot handle. While it will vibrate, its often not smooth and skips a lot of points in it.
But this is highly depending on the vibration movement with it. Strong vibrations are handled better than light ones.
But if using a vibrator, this sort of script portions can just be altered anyway. There is no need making the sleeve also vibrate. Technicaly for PMVs this can still be beneficial if properly working, but most pmvs arent multiaxis with vibrators in mind so atm its just not relevant. And let those normaly dont use those vibrations in scripts since they already have more axises to work with.
Converting a multiaxis script to also work with vibrators isnt too difficult (i just need to make a script for that). Converting the rotating speed to for example a vibration strength would do enough.

I feel like an idiot, but just ran this for the first time and am trying to follow instructions. I hit the plus and select OFS, and click connect, but get this:
You need to enable websocket server in OFS first.
Thanks. Just tested with my Handy, but ends up being totally out of sync with OFS. It says Handy support is in experimental state, so oh well. Was hoping I could use this for live testing of scripts as I make them
You need to use buttplug output, after connecting to intiface you map The Handy to L0 axis in MFP and change it to polled update. Should work like that but dunno how it will behave will live changes.
cant seem to get the axis for v0 and v1 to appear… any ideas?
Default device only shows the basic 6 axes, you need to go to devices tab in the application settings at the top of the window, clone the default device and enable V0/V1.

thank u soo much got it now
Hey, long term user and big fan (and patron) of the software, just having a slight issue: DeoVR doesn’t seem to put the scripts out to MFP: I can connect, and the bar where the script should be does have the line indicating the current point, and I can even move that line within MFP to move the DeoVR playback to various points, but the heatmap doesn’t appear and there is nothing showing on the playback indicators.
I had a similar problem before which you solved for me, on an earlier version of the DeoVR s/w but can’t seem to find the question/answer in this thread, sorry. I’m using DeoVR on a Quest 3 and connecting to an SR6. I’ve tried toggling the haptics on/off and the device icon which shows in DeoVR during playback too.
This has mainly not been a problem/is now a problem because I’ve barely used DeoVR since I got Heresphere, but sometimes I’d like to be able to use DeoVR instead and take advantage of my streaming script sub. Sometimes it connects right away, but I’m never quite sure what I’ve done differently, and what I’ve found is that once it won’t work for me, I then can’t get it to work for me despite various togglings/restarting of things. Thanks for any help
Yea, there seems to be a issue/bug with DeoVR on quest where it just doesnt want to connect to MFP and MFP is just waiting. Someone recently asked me about the same thing and their solution was to basically restart MFP/DeoVR until it connects.
You could try changing log level to trace, trying to connect and DM’ing me the latest log file so I can verify its the same issue.
Ok thanks man, I’ll set the log level now and give it a go
