Starting a gig dropped the player onto the fallback 2D highway with no venue.
startGig() calls setViz('venue'), which installs the 3D renderer — whose init is
async — and then immediately starts its play queue. playSong() re-initialises
that same renderer a tick later. A renderer mints a fresh readyPromise per
init() and rejects the previous one with "superseded"; highway.js only checked
that the RENDERER OBJECT was unchanged, which it is. So it treated a healthy,
re-initialising renderer as a failed one, tore it down, and reverted to 2D:
renderer async init failure: Error: superseded
viz picker: reverted to default renderer (async-init-failure)
The guard now also checks the PROMISE identity: a rejection from an init cycle
the renderer has already moved on from is ignored. The renderer-identity guard
stays (a rejection for a renderer since REPLACED is also not ours), and a
genuine failure of the CURRENT cycle still reverts — both init() call sites go
through _setRenderer, which re-wires the handler every time, so the new cycle is
always watched.
Reproduced and fixed against the real build:
before: vizSelection=default viz-picker=default venue=inactive viz:reverted
after: vizSelection=venue viz-picker=venue venue=ACTIVE (no revert)
Also widens the paused-frame throttle's opt-out. The throttle fires whenever the
CHART CLOCK is stalled — not only on a pause, but through a count-in and the
credits/author overlay too. Its opt-out only asked "is a crowd video rolling",
but the venue scene animates on a clock of its own with no pack at all (backdrop
breathe, parallax, haze drift, warmth pulse — Math.sin(t) in the draw loop), so
that motion was still being throttled. It now claims frames for both sources; a
plain 3D highway with no venue reads motion mode 'off' and keeps the #654 GPU
saving.
HONEST CAVEAT on that second part: I could not get the throttle to fire in a
reproduction. A control run on the shipped code showed 100 draws/sec while
paused, not the ~10/sec a firing throttle would give — so the change is
defensible on its own terms (a stalled clock is genuinely not a static picture)
but it does NOT have a demonstrated symptom behind it. The viz fix above does.
Tests: the superseded guard, and that the throttle opt-out covers both motion
sources. All fail against the pre-fix source. eslint 0 errors; JS 1207/1207.

3D Highway
A 3D note highway visualization for FeedBack — an alternative to the default 2D highway, with a sense of depth and perspective inspired by stage views in modern rhythm games.
What you get
- A camera-perspective highway with notes flying down toward a virtual fretboard at the bottom of the screen
- Glowing strings that pulse and brighten on each hit
- Note Detection feedback, including hit/miss outlines and diagnostic early/late/sharp/flat labels when the note detection plugin emits enriched judgments
- Chord frame-boxes, named-chord labels, and a chord diagram overlay (configurable corner position) so you can read shapes at a glance
- Two complementary barre indicators fire together when a barre chord shape is detected (2+ consecutive strings fretted at the lowest fret, e.g. F
[1,1,2,3,3,1], or an outer-edge full-span barre with every intermediate string fretted, e.g. B majorx24442): a translucent vertical line across the strings on the 3D highway, and a straight bracket drawn inside the first fret space of the chord diagram overlay - A heat-colored fret number row that lights up around your active playing region
- Selectable color palettes for the strings — pick the look you want
- Audio-reactive ambient background animations (particles, silhouettes, stage lights, geometric — pick one or turn it off)
- Lyrics overlay synced to the song
- Works as the main player view or per-panel inside the splitscreen plugin
Install
3D Highway ships bundled with FeedBack — no separate installation needed. Pick 3D Highway from the visualization picker in the player.
Note: The bundled version is preferred over any user-installed copy with the same plugin ID. If you have an old
feedBack-plugin-3dhighwayclone on disk (from before 3D Highway was promoted to core), it will be ignored at startup — a warning in the server log names the path of the discarded copy. You can safely delete the stale clone.Fallback: In the unlikely event that the bundled copy fails to load its routes (e.g., a broken bundled release), FeedBack will automatically fall back to your user-installed copy and show a yellow "Fallback" badge in the Settings panel. Check the server startup log for the root cause in that case.
Settings
Most of the visual controls (background style, intensity, audio reactivity, color palette) live on FeedBack's Settings screen under the 3D Highway section.

Perf bench (?h3dbench=1)
Append ?h3dbench=1 to the player URL to enable opt-in console.log reporting of update() self-time, broken into six segments — frame (everything between pbBeg(0) at the top of update() and pbEnd(0) at the bottom; excludes the trailing pbReportTick() logging that fires after pbEnd(0)), state (per-frame state-derivation loop), next (next-note-by-string lookahead), mat (per-string material writes), noteDraw (single-note draw loop), chordDraw (chord draw loop). Reported every 5 seconds with p50 / p95 / max per segment and frame count, so before/after numbers on a target chart are reproducible (feedBack#226). Off-by-default; the bench helpers (pbBeg / pbEnd / pbReportTick) are bound to a shared empty-function literal when the renderer instance is created (each createHighway() panel re-checks the flag), so the hot-path call sites are no-ops with negligible overhead (typically JIT-inlined).
