Rec Room

General Improvements and Bug Fixes

• Hope this puts you in a good mood: Rec Room Studio rooms now support Mood v1 chips!

• The MakerPen transform tool now respects the RotateAroundPivot setting as well.
• Saving changes to a swatch, creating a new swatch, and deleting a swatch now correctly updates the list of swatches when performed.

• Fixed a bug where screen-mode players could get into a broken state if they went to a new room while holding a drawn bow.

General Improvements and Bug Fixes

• The Full Body Costume Dummy now works with the Set Position chip, and can be wired to gizmos.
• Get that party started, creators! There's a new chip that checks if the player is in a party.

• Fixed a bug that caused the 'Set Player Name Color' chip to use more network heat than expected.
• Fixed a bug that prevented synchronized Destination Room variables from working. We always knew they were destined for greatness...
• Fixed another bug where players would sometimes join a room, but fail to load all of the CV2 chips. That should be the last of 'em!
• Fixed several long standing issues with grid snapping
• This is why we don't throw things at people...sometimes the MakerPen would become inoperable after hitting another player with it and then picking it up quickly. We fixed that issue, but, like, don't take that as an excuse to go hurling your Maker Pen as a weapon.
• Fixed a bug where configuring an item with the maker pen could lead to random scrolling in the UI when editing values
• Fixed a bug that blocked some characters when configuring HUD element labels

Hovering over Player ports whose values are invalid will now show "Invalid Player (None)" for (None), or "Invalid Player (#)" with a number to refer to a specific player who has left.
• Deprecated and replaced the Player Variable chip. The old version had a bug where, when synced, it would start outputting (None) when the player it was storing a reference to left the room.
• Selections with object boards are now supported with the Copy, Clone, and Make Invention operations.
• Fixed the bug that the player can boost wolf ride, 50s car and truck in VR mode by pressing sprint button.

• Fixed a bug that could lock up the watch if it was closed during a purchase.

New Stuff

• If a player is wearing a custom shirt, you can now view and purchase that custom shirt from the outfits screen on their profile. No more racking your brain for who you bought it from... or what room...
• Rec Room Plus players can now put an emoji at the end of their name tag for further customization. Yes, we know what you're thinking, and no, you can't pick that one. Name tag outlines have also been made slightly thicker.
• Added a shortcut to get to your chats to the HUD on iOS and Android.

General Improvements and Bug Fixes

• On both Laser Tag maps, fixed issues where you could get out of the map and made small layout adjustments based on feedback from the Laser Tag community. A nitty gritty log of changes will be shared on Discord.
• We've started rolling out localized Chat UI to some players. Hello! Bienvenido! Come va? Brezel! Au revoir!
• Improved the audio experience on vehicles driven by other players -- they now sound more consistent with what you would hear if you were the driver! Could still make you motion sick if you're with a particularly bad driver though.
• Fixed an issue where certain environment and ambient sound won't react to audio sliders in the Settings menu. You can still keep it at 100% if you'll miss the sweet sounds of coffee being made in the Rec Center!

Custom Colors (Beta)

Multi-Select Config (Beta)

Creator Roles (Beta)

• If your room is beta-enabled, there's a new "Maker Pen" tab in the "Game Roles" settings screen.
  
• There are new Game Role settings governing Can Use Maker Pen, Can Use Room Reset Button, Can Use Delete All Button, Can Save Inventions, and Can Spawn Inventions. A user must have the right Game Role OR Room Permission (if Game Role has not been overridden) to do any of these things.
  
• A brand new Game Role setting called "Can Create Role Assignment Chips." When disabled, users will not be able to spawn role-assigning objects (Role Mapper Chip, Costume Dummy, Add Player Role Chip, Remove Player Role Chip).
  
• There is another new Game Role setting called "Creation Restrictions Apply." The room owner must enable the room setting "Enable Creation Restriction Settings in Roles" to use this feature. As objects are created, they are imprinted with the creator's current Game Roles. When other players attempt to select those objects, they must share a common Game Role with the imprinted role set. Room owners and co-owners are not subject to these restrictions, and can modify the restrictions on objects via the config menu.
  

Circuits Updates

• Known issue (fix soon!) - the Equip to Player chips cannot currently equip objects to a player that is not local.

• Role restrictions now properly work on seats.
  
• Constant chips now share a fresh new look.
  
• Added additional object board attachment modes, 'Follow' and 'Orbit'. These allow boards to track the movement of their attached object without rotating, so that you never wind up with an upside-down chip on your Rotator! (Existing boards won’t be affected, but new ones will default to “Follow.”)
  
• Added List Shuffle chip in beta for all your list shuffling needs.
  
• Fixed the Make Tuple chip (beta). Now it makes a tuple instead of... not... doing that... Look, it just didn't work at all before, but now it does.
  
• Fixed a bug where Circuits chips would sometimes move faster than other things you had selected when using move/transform. Turns out chips get the zoomies too.
  
• Tapping a port with the connect tool to disconnect its wires no longer selects it.
  
• Removed the beta requirement from deletable object boards.
  
• Fix for equip chip "cannot be equipped when not visible" error when a tool is indeed visible.

General Improvements and Bug Fixes

• You could already share rooms and photos, but now you can also share public/unlisted events and public clubs in chat!

• Screens Gestures are moved back to a radial menu for all control schemes.
  
• Fixed an issue where buttons in the watch UI would not appear as configured.
  
• Fixed a bug that could cause the cursor to become misplaced when typing in the palette search field. o more having your first character end up at the end!N

• Connecting two unselected objects no longer clears your current selection.
  

New Screens Control Schemes

• Some of you might have the option to change your control scheme! If not, hang in there, we're trying to get them out to everyone ASAP!
• Yes, there is a Classic option, we aren't forcing you to relearn all the buttons like last time... but the new controls are pretty slick and an easy adjustment coming from other first person games
• More exciting news, this update paves the way for rebindable controls, which are Coming Soon! So if you're not totally satisfied with the keys we picked, or want a blend of our two control schemes, stay tuned for that. Lefties, rejoice!

• Swap out your held tool and pick up another one in a single button press (like toss + grab combined)
• Aim down sights with the right click / left trigger (how conventional!)
• Dedicated reload input, which you can even use while holding a grenade/map/flag
• Holsters show a preview of each slot in the HUD
• Holster shortcuts for each slot on Keyboard & Touch
• Share Cam and Maker Pen shortcuts on Keyboard & Touch

More controls updates

• You can now do all movements in Third Person like sprint, crouch, and even climb
• Added two-handed waving so you can practice your moves in either perspective (dance Mode is taking a breather for now!)

• Sprint resumes when un-crouching (while using auto sprint or still holding the sprint button)
• Touch does not unintentionally exit crouch/prone when moving forward. Crawling, full speed ahead!
• Holster cycling goes right in order, so it's more predictable and easier to use all available slots
• Emotes menu now opens instantly so you can react faster - get that grimace in before the moment passes!
• Flick up on the watch notification to dismiss it on Touch, just like dismissing all those mobile notifications you get from us!
• Fixed Rec Royale chests getting stuck in your hand and opening automatically (firmly grasp it for a few seconds to open)

• Flying hands animation is less in your face
• Added subtle zoom for guns that didn't have aim down sights already
• Lots of animation tuning on various items like melee weapons, breakable weapons, and guns

Dorm Skins Store Improvements

New Beta Creative Tools

CV2 Equipment Chips (Beta)

CV2 Welcome Mat and Room Flow chips (Beta)

• As was the case previously, if the destination is a different room, you may only target public subrooms. The party invite/auto follow options should also be consistent with the existing doors.
• New to V2, the Room Destination can include a specific welcome mat instead of the other way around. (The destination room must be saved after the welcome mat is placed in order for the welcome mat to be an available selection.)
• Set a welcome mat as "Default" to prioritize it for new arrivals.
• The welcome mat includes a visualization for spawn radius that turns red if there are no valid spawn locations within the specified radius. I'm sure you'll all miss falling through floors, getting your heads stuck in the ceiling, etc. etc.
• The V1 welcome mat has been renamed "Welcome Mat (Legacy)"

CV2 Combat HUD UI (Beta)

CV2 Gun Handle (Beta)

• New Text components behave better with left and right alignment. Text components already in use will continue to function as they did previously. Replace them with a new version from the palette to get the fix!
• Circuit boards can now be placed inside object boards, player definition boards, and other circuit boards.
