csTimer released

[UncleFrank]

Updates after 2024.04.20

Scramble
1. Add clock scramble without y2 rotation.
2. Add 2x2x2 tcll training scramble.
3. For training scramble, cases can be generated with equal probability instead of actual probability.
4. Add SQ1 PLL scramble (even permutation only).
5. Optimized FTO random state scramble, the average length is reduced to about 27 moves.
6. Add some training scramble for FTO, including L3T, L3T+LBT, TCP, edge/corner/center only scramble.

UI optimization
7. The line break strategy of scramble is set to balanced by default (make the lengths of different lines close), which can be modified in options.
8. Optimize scramble image of some puzzles.
9. Add scramble image for relays and mbld
10. Clicking on the scramble image will show the scrambling animation if available. Otherwise, an enlarged scramble image will be displayed in the pop-up dialog.
11. Fixed some ui bugs.

Virtual & Bluetooth cube
12. When using a virtual or Bluetooth cube, you can set HTM, FPS, Linear FMC as indicators for data statistics
13. Support more bluetooth cubes, including Qiyi's smart cube, Moyu Weilong V10 AI
14. Add Bluetooth cube debug log window
15. Add orientation option to virtual cube, add URF perspective

Others
16. Optimize the data import and export process, now the data import and export with csTimer server will consume less data traffic
17. Able to import solves from cubic timer
18. Able to select puzzle (for image, solver, etc) when inputing scrambles (currently supports WCA puzzles)
19. Comments can be hidden when displaying statistics
20. Add multi-axis solutions in the thistlethwaite solver

Nice updates.
I'd still like to get an option for Mo10Ao5 (Mean of 10 Ao5's) in the Statistics table, Options > Statistics > Statistical Indicators.
Ten Ao5's in a row and take a Mean of those 10 times. It's still 50 solves, but it's calculated different than an Ao50.
or some other Mean of X ao5's, or Mean of X aox's.

my csTimer's draw scramble feature doesn't seem to be working. i've had this problem for a few months and never thought much of it but it's starting to get annoying when I want to scramble check. can someone help me with this?

Sure, could you send pictures of the issue.

I've had problems with this too.

I found that hard reloading csTimer worked. If you have csTimer+ as an extension, uninstalling it often helps.

What do you mean by “hard reloading”? Not sure what this term means.

Hard reloading/refreshing is when you reload your computer's cache and force the website to display the most recent version.

I don't know what browser you're using, but this guide will tell you how to hard reload.

I rmeber yuo had cstimer+ when i met yuo and some draw scambñes no work with kt on :c

yeah I still have csTimer+ so idk if that's causing the problem

Well I agree with everyone else: maybe try not using CSTimer+, even if it good.

@BVCuber13
When hard reloading didn't work, uninstalling csTimer+ worked. I'm unsure why, but csTimer and csTimer+ are currently incompatible.

There’s really no reason to use CSTimer+ anymore, it has been a long time since its last update and most of the features in it have been added to normal CSTimer

I have a question about the external save feature.

If I have 2 different sessions on 2 different devices, and I saved them both to, let’s say my WCA account. Would they combine or would 1 override the other? I’m only asking because I have 2 devices with massive CStimer sessions on it, and I want to try to combine them, and I don’t want to accidentally delete 10s of thousands of solves.

 

[topppits]

They'd override each other. Although there's a function under OPTION -> global -> "Import non-latest data". The description: "If 'You've uploaded multiple backups, you can import from one of the up to 10 most recently uploaded backups, if you accidentally upload an empty backup, this option will help you retrieve your solves."

I'd suggest that you first use the "Export to file" backup locally on both device, to make sure you won't mess up any of your solve data. Then I'd copy one of those files to the other device and try to import them with the "Import session(s) from other timers" option under "export". IIRC this should add the session from that backup file as new sessions. Then you can open the session manager (hit "Session" on the right of your session name) and merge sessions you want merged. You can find some more information on the session manager here, I hope those information are not outdated. The solves might get sorted by date, but I'm not 100% sure. And not 100% sure what it'll do with solves that are from the time before cstimer saved solve time, if you have any.

Updates after 2024.08.13

Scramble
1. Add EO cross scramble (EO cross solved).
2. Add random order to the "Probabilities for training-scramble states" option (the other two items are actial probability and equal probability). Using this mode can ensure that each case can appear quickly.
3. For easy cross and easy xcross, it now supports setting both upper and lower bounds (that is, you can require the generated scramble to require at least a certain number of steps for solving the cross/xcross).
4. The <R, r, U> subset scramble is now random-state.
5. <R, U>, <L, U> now only contain moves within the subset.

Bluetooth & Virtual Cube
6. Optimize for bluetooth-cube loss-move issue.
7. Support more smart cubes.
8. Reconstruction supports CFZB (cross + 3 f2l slots + zbf2l + zbll).
9. Updated key binding for virtual FTO.
10. Add qclock and its key binding.

Tools
11. Fixed some case statistics issues in zbll.
12. Add ui design options for cstimer plus.
13. Add xxx cross solver (keep clicking in cross, you will get xc, xxc, xxxc solutions).
14. Add a random-orientation option in BLD helper.
15. Add encoding order in BLD helper.

Others
16. Added alt+z to the shortcut key of "Remove the lastest solve" (because ctrl+z often conflicts with other software)
17. Added "Merge & Deduplicate" option in session manager. Combining with "Import session(s) from other timers" in export panel, you can implement simple incremental session merging.

@precompsubwr has been having problems with switching sessions.
