Changelog

1.5.0

• Stable release restoring the original 1.4.1 Fusion RigNameTag appearance and automatic stacking above usernames.
• Fixed gradual text-size growth and shrinkage by resetting the chat nametag object's local scale to 1,1,1 during normal updates and again after Unity's animation/layout pass.
• Uses one clean canonical font baseline, rather than treating an already-resized pooled text object as the new default.
• Explicitly reapplies the one-, two-, or three-line font size and disables TextMeshPro auto-sizing.
• Detects when Fusion replaces a pooled text object and initializes the replacement from the clean baseline.
• Restores the clean font and object scale before returning a chat nametag to Fusion's pool.
• Fusion's parent HeadUI remains responsible for the intended avatar-height scaling.
• Retains Fusion's native nametag rendering rather than using a separate world-space canvas.
• Retains multi-line wrapping, emoji, clipboard paste, VR HUD placement, input controls, and host relay fixes.

1.4.3

• Fixed overhead text still drifting larger or smaller in steps over a session. The 1.4.2 fix only guarded against recomputing size on the same text object; it did not account for Fusion's nametag text being pulled from a pooled GameObject that is not reset between uses.
• The base font size is now captured once, globally, from the first untouched nametag component this mod ever sees, instead of being re-derived from a live component after every bubble respawn (which could pick up a size this mod itself had already scaled down or up for a different bubble).

1.4.2

• Fixed overhead text unpredictably growing or repeatedly shrinking.
• Disabled TextMeshPro auto-sizing on custom head-chat bubbles.
• Sizes for one-, two-, and three-line bubbles now derive deterministically from Fusion's configured maximum nametag font size.
• Detects when avatar changes recreate the pooled text object and cleanly reinitializes its font state without compounding prior sizes.
• Preserves Fusion's intended whole-layout scaling based on avatar height.

1.4.1

• Replaced the positive Capture Keyboard Input label with the clearer Disable Text Input BoneMenu toggle.
• Kept F2 and Page Up synchronized with the same persistent setting.

1.4.0

• Added a persistent Capture Keyboard Input BoneMenu option.
• Added F2 and Page Up hotkeys for toggling input capture during flatscreen play.
• Disabling capture clears the player's current outgoing text while preserving incoming head chat and the rest of the mod.
• The local HUD now indicates when keyboard capture is disabled.

1.3.3

• Added Unicode emoji-safe typing, clipboard paste, networking, and display.
• Character limits and overhead wrapping now count complete Unicode text elements instead of UTF-16 code units.
• Backspace removes a complete emoji or joined sequence instead of corrupting it.
• Increased the validated UTF-8 payload allowance for complex joined emoji.

1.3.2

• Added a third overhead-text line for messages longer than 120 characters.
• Balanced two- and three-line splits around word boundaries.
• Three-line overhead text uses a slightly smaller font to reduce its width.
• Fixed Ctrl+V detection by supporting both Unity's legacy input and BONELAB's newer Input System.
• The local VR preview remains unchanged.

1.3.1

• Added Ctrl+V clipboard paste support.
• Pasted text is sanitized and appended to the current message without exceeding the 160-character limit.

1.3.0

• Added two-line display support for every player's head-chat text.
• Text longer than 80 characters now wraps onto a second line.
• Long overhead text uses a slightly smaller font to prevent excessive horizontal stretching; the local VR HUD preview is unchanged.

1.2.1

• Fixed hosts running the mod blocking every client-originated chat update.
• Worked around LabFusion 1.14.2 dropping the authenticated sender ID from custom module messages during pre-relay validation.
• Added targeted host-local delivery using the authenticated outer message sender while preserving normal relay to all other clients.

1.2.0

• Added a VR HUD Placement BoneMenu submenu.
• Added live horizontal, vertical, and headset-distance controls displayed in centimeters and converted to Unity meters internally.
• Placement persists through MelonPreferences.
• Added a reset button for restoring the default HUD position.

1.1.4

• Fixed hosts not seeing head-chat updates sent by remote clients.
• Added explicit local delivery for validated client messages at Fusion's server-side relay point while preserving normal relay to other clients.

1.1.3

• Fixed client-originated head-chat updates failing to reach other players in lobbies with multiple users.
• Changed typing synchronization to Fusion's reliable all-client relay route.
• Local-owner filtering still prevents a sender from creating a redundant remote bubble for themselves.

1.1.2

• Renamed the ambiguous Enabled option to Head Chat Enabled.
• Renamed the local preview option to Show VR HUD and clarified that it does not disable typing or broadcasting.
• Updated the in-game help text to explain both controls.

1.1.1

• Replaced the desktop-only IMGUI preview with a world-space HUD anchored to the local headset, allowing it to render inside VR.
• Refined the near-vision HUD size and placement for a less intrusive view.
• Added a default-on BoneMenu toggle that hides the local typing HUD without disabling chat transmission.

1.1.0

• Added an always-visible, client-only lower-left HUD preview.
• The preview displays the exact text currently being broadcast above the local player's head and shows a subtle prompt while empty.

1.0.0

• Initial release.
• Added enabled-by-default physical keyboard capture during Fusion sessions.
• Added real-time, avatar-attached overhead text for players running the mod.
• Added Backspace editing, Enter-to-clear, and automatic idle clearing.
• Added rate limiting, message length limits, input sanitization, and stale-text cleanup.
• Added persistent BoneMenu enable setting and manual clear control.
