We've posted a new update with some exciting new features! There are a whole lot of them this time, and here they are:
Shake/Mutate Sidechains: There is a new algorithm for Shake and Mutate Sidechains. The interface is similar to wiggle now. It shows intermediate progess, can be cancelled in the middle, and you can let it run as long as you want, but it won't stop automatically.
Wiggle: There are separate buttons to wiggle the sidechain, the backbone, or everything. Wiggle should be more responsive to changes in bands and the behavior slider.
Separate pieces: Now when the structures are made up of several separate pieces, you can bring up a move tool to move them around easily. There is new level explaining how to use it.
Ligands: Some puzzles have special small molecules called ligands in them. Ligands can have a new type of constraint on them, there is an x-ray tunnel view option to help see them, and there are new levels about them.
Conditions for getting credit: There can now be multiple conditions that must be met before getting credit for your score. These are like evolver, but there are more of them, and they can be specific to a particular puzzle. There is a tab menu of the conditions underneath your score.
Insert/delete: In the insert/delete segment pie menu, there are options to insert or delete more than one at a time.
Selection interface preview: You can get to a preview of the new selection interface from the main menu.
Hydrogens bonds: The visualization is thinner, there is a visualization for explicitly showing bondable atoms, and the hydrogen bonding levels have been adjusted
View options: You can turn off outlines (this can improve rendering performance), show an isosurface, and color mutated segments differently.
Style: There are several new geometry and color options. They are accessible if you have the "Show advanced GUI" checked (formerly "Show score decimal").
Camera features: The near and far clipping planes and fog depth of the camera can be adjusted by holding ctrl+alt, ctrl+shift, or alt+shift and dragging the mouse p and down on the background. Dragging on the edges will rotate around the camera axis. Pressing Q or shift+Q on a segment will focus on it, or on the background to unfocus. The instruction in the help screen have been updated.
Achievements: Several new achievements in different categories have been added.
Chat: Clicking on a user in chat will go to their page.
Levels: There is a one click interface to level selection.
Mouse wheel: Will work on Linux.
Performance improvements: interactions with the protein should be smoother for many interactions.
Scoring: Disulfides will now have a much larger effect on your score. The score function has been changed in a way that is not backwards compatible with all puzzles and scores for older puzzles may change.
