App version 3.18.0 is out now! - Chat changes and a cheeky script tool update (Patreon)

Hello backers. We've got a cheeky two-for-one today - and update to both the app and our script tool. Just like the app, you can expect us to continue to work on the script tool as time ticks on. Here are the details!

• 🚀 added new chat server system ("Livekit") and updated existing chat servers to improve chat stability
  With this update, we're trying to address the ongoing chat server issues that people have been experiencing especially during times of high server load in two ways: by making some important changes to the existing chat server logic and by introducing a new chat server system (called "Livekit") as an alternative. Ideally, the previous frequent reconnects and connection issues should be fixed by the former change, but if they're not, you can give the new Livekit server - available from the chat server dropdown - a try.
• 🚀 Livekit chat servers support experimental background blur for cams (Settings -> Chat)
  The new chat server system brings with it an experimental background blur, but only available on the EU Livekit server for the time being.
• 🚀 Custom and Homebrew scripts will now be validated against the Custom Script JSON schema when being loaded
  The custom script schema has been available for a while now, but with this change it's going to be used in the app as well whenever you load a custom or homebrew script. If there are any errors with your script JSON, the app will tell you so, but still load the script.
• 🚀 added support for custom CSS rules and external stylesheets
  Want to make your app look like those that you see on the Twitch streams? Or maybe use a custom font or make all text in the app green? You can do this and much more with a new option in the "Streaming" settings, called "Custom CSS". It will require some basic CSS knowledge, but you can adjust everything you see to your liking that way. All changes made here are local to your client only, so feel free to experiment. And if you created a really cool theme, you can share it with others by uploading the CSS and letting others load those changes directly from your CSS URL.

Furthermore, our changes to the script tool are...

🚀 there's a new "Sort" button at the top right, which sorts your custom scripts according to "Standard Amy Order"! (after which you can still move the Pacifist to the top of the character sheet, if you'd like)

🚀 the "Save" button has a new feature, which displays your custom script as a Letter- / A4-sized PNG image, to make it easier to share in ⁠custom-scripts or in your e-mail to Steven Medway your friends

🌟 the script / author input fields now support keyboard shortcuts like Enter (to submit) and Escape (to cancel)

🐛 PDF script titles will no longer magically disappear if your script name contains a díäcrìtîcs

🐛 "Dusk" has re-appeared on the first night order, because how could it be a real night without Dusk?

🐛 the "Randomize" button will no longer try to put a 26th character on a full "Phobos" type script (even if it believes your script is really missing a Lil' Monsta)
