Full Body Avatars Improvements & Bug Fixes

• Adjusted the head positioning for better animations when moving around.

General Improvements & Bug Fixes

• Introducing more variety of canned chat options!
• Third person camera is no longer blocked by collision that doesn't block movement or interaction (like decorations!)

Experiments

• Experimenting with autocomplete dropdowns to the Rooms Search Input Field, finding what you want to see should be easier!

Rooms 2.0

• Legacy inventions will now be sorted into their own palette filters in Rooms 2.
• Fixed a bug where Rooms 2 rooms might show a notification saying that players are editing the room when they load in, even if they are not and/or are not able to use the maker pen. Sorry, you weren't allowed to edit My Little Monsters after all. :,(

Full Body Avatars Improvements & Bug Fixes

• Costume creators can now require players to auto-switch to the floating bean avatars when wearing their costumes. Just configure your costume and turn off the "Allow Full Body Avatar Type" setting. Previously-created costumes will have this toggled off by default.
• Melee strikes and charge attacks for full body screen players weren't looking quite right with the Fish, Cutlass, Frying Pan, Oar, Pitchfork, Push Broom, SwingHandle, QuestSword, Whip, Stool, and Shovel. The animations, especially with how the off-hand was working, is looking much better.

Full body avatars

• We tweaked how it looks when you're carrying items (like guns and swords).
• Strafing was added for when crouched or prone to remove the awkward backbreaking twists.
• Some basic idle animations were put in to make you look super cool even when standing around. We look forward to your full body "I'm on screen mode!" VR dancing imitations.

Rooms 2.0

• Replicators can now update their Target Object just by changing the hierarchy! Instead of the config menu, you can also set the Target Object just by using the Connect tool to set an object as its child.
• Fixed an issue where certain inventions could cause room corruption in Rooms 2.0.
• Fixed a bug that prevented saving inventory items to rewards in Rooms 2.0.

• Added Cornelius Cryptid. He's in need of a new monster caretaker, head over to \^MyLittleMonsters if you're interested!

Circuits

• Circuits now support Functions, which effectively let you create your own chips! Place down a Function Definition chip and edit into it to define what your function will do. Then, you can put down Call [NameOfYourFunction] chips down anywhere in your room to call that function. No more copying the same group of chips 10 different times, only to find out you have a bug and need to copy/paste all of them again! Go check out our dev blog here for more information on how to use this feature!

Rooms 2.0

• The Animation Controller is now available in Rooms 2.0. (The controls have changed a little, and may continue to evolve. Select the Animation Controller and use the Quick Action Menu to add objects to the animation. Access the keyframing controls via the Config Menu. Otherwise it works like it did before!)
• Inventory sorting tabs are capitalized on the Room Inventory page, and any underscores in the tag names here will show up as spaces.

• Fixed a clipping issue in VR for full-body avatars when leaning.
• Fixed an issue where animations got reset when switching avatar types in flying mode.

Rec Room Studio

• You can now copy objects from Rooms 1 to Rooms 2 in RRStudio! Objects that are not supported in Rooms 2 either become a named Container (for objects) or a named Comment node (for circuits).
• Improved memory explorer estimates for meshes that are stored in unity .asset files rather than fbx/obj.
• You can now open a legacy room and copy content, then open a Rooms 2.0 room and paste that content inside Rec Room Studio. Some objects that aren't supported in Rooms 2.0 are replaced with empty Container objects with the name of the object that couldn't be pasted. (Ahem, CV1, I'm looking at you.)

Experiments

Rooms 2.0

• Interaction Filters in Rooms 2 will now behave hierarchically. In order to interact with a filtered component, the player must pass the filter on the component itself, as well as on each container it's inside of. (For most intents and purposes, you'll only need to set it at the root.)

• Improve the speed of downloading room content when there are many files in your room.
