Rec Room

Circuits Changes

• Added a bunch of new chips in beta:
• Player Head chips: Player Head Position, Player Head Rotation, Player Head Forward Direction, Player Head Up Direction, Player Head Velocity, Player Head Height
• Player gaze chips: Local Player Gaze Origin, Local Player Gaze Direction
• 
  Player Get Seat - This chip will return the seat a player is in if said seat is a maker pen object. This chip does not work with vehicle seats.
  
• 
  Chip port selection should now be more reliable. (We think we fixed it! Please tell us if ports are still being weird.)
  
• Decreased the volume of circuit error SFX. It could be argued that getting jump-scared whenever you get an error is a good way to train yourself to not make mistakes. On the other hand, it could be argued that... not that.
• Fixed a bug where some Circuits math chips would continue to compute as though additional input ports were there, even after they had been removed. Math does not believe in ghosts.
• Player Radio Channel Chip change: the thresholds when radio effects kick in/go away now account for the voice rolloff settings for the player in the room.
• Deprecated and replaced the Distance chip, as well as the Player Get Position/Rotation/Velocity chips. They are now based on the player's "root," in order to be consistent with their setters.

General Improvements and Bug Fixes

• All players, including non-RR+ members, can now create room keys and currencies! (You'll still need RR+ in order to set prices on keys and create currency packages.)
• Added a new voice roll-off option of 15.
• The respawn delay on objects can now be set as low as 0.1 seconds. We've also added an option to disable the respawn visual effect if you really hate those orange cubes.
• Added highlight to the clone tool.
• Fixed various skins that were missing some pieces.
• Fixed corruption of subtitle text in VR. (Hooray!)
• Fixed a small audio issue with the Room Chat send button.
• Fixed an issue where some PC players were experiencing inconsistent behavior with a surface snap.

Rec Room Studio

• Deleted boards will no longer re-appear in the game. Use the right-click editor menu on the object Rec Room Studio -> Remake Object Board, to create the board again.

General Improvements and Bug Fixes

• Improved Copy + Paste in Rec Room Studio to make it harder to accidentally paste mixed selections of Studio and non-Studio objects in Unity, which does not copy the Maker Pen objects correctly.
• Added 'AddVectorTransform' and 'VectorInverseTransform' chips in beta.
• You can now search for any published custom shirt.
• Fixed a bug with the Rec Room Object Reset chip not resetting Studio Objects for all players
• Fixed the possibility of all audio breaking in Jumbotron, as well as any other rooms with Assassin Bots or Mouse Bots. The Mouse Bots are supposed to be stealthy, but not /that/ stealthy.
• Play Audio At Position chip (beta) now shows a CV2 error if trying to play an audio clip at a playback speed of 0.
• Fixed the room resets for Beacon & Particle Emitter V2.
• UI now appears correctly when disabling self-scaling at a non-default scale.

Rec Room Studio

• Fixed several bugs that could cause 'Upload & Build' to fail silently.
• Screen Space Canvas HUDs are now supported on VR platforms
• Corrected an issue that could cause Permission Denied errors to appear rapidly in the console when opening a room for which the creator is a Temporary Co-owner.

• Fixed a bug that may prevent you from uploading your room while other creators are playing in the room.
• Using .dds & .texture2d files that contained compressed texture data would cause 'Upload & Build' to fail. Added a room error when one of these formats is used.
• Fixed vertex color for Rec Room Studio Lit shader.
• Disable detail support on Rec Room Studio/Lit shader until it can be supported by game..

General Improvements and Bug Fixes

• Radial shortcut menu in ProUX mode won't stay open if a focus is attempted while it's open.
• Deprecated and replaced Greater Than, Greater Or Equal, Less Than, and Less Or Equal chips. The old versions treated very close float values as though they were equal. The new versions do not.
• Fixed the new Equals chip (beta) not understanding that Infinity is equal to Infinity. (Yes, not all infinities are the same size. No, we did not explain that to the Equals chip.)

• Fixed bugs that caused the comment chip to not show its comment body, and to not update its color in some instances when a comment body had been set.
• Fixed an invalid password attempt resulting in the player having to press the back arrow more than once to get back to the switch account screen.

General Improvements and Bug Fixes

• Added a new Room Owner Lock toggle to object configurations. Room owners can now lock down objects and chips in their rooms so that only other co-owners can manipulate them.
• Chip Settings now display the correct number of modifiable properties.
• Fixed a bug that could break some props when holstered on a disconnecting player.
• Fixed a bug where using the Maker Pen and Share Cam equip shortcuts would not actually equip the tools to your hand if you're gesturing or posing.
• Fixed an issue with VR creators being able to move/scale shapes with their off-hand when using the Maker Pen.
• Fixed a bug that caused player input ports on new chips to default to '(None)' instead of 'Local Player'.
• Fixed the bug that 'Motion Trail' components have physics collisions with other room objects when their positions are being updated.

New Home

Maker Pen Shortcuts

Circuits Updates

• Fixed several of the 'Player World UI' chips not caring about the net heat limit.
• The cooldown period for the Player Prompt Multiple choice chip has been decreased, and the chip will now display a warning if it's used while it is in cooldown. The chip will also no longer timeout when run for the local player.
• New chips in Beta:

General Improvements and Bug Fixes

• We're testing out a huge improvement to the Outfits menu! Take a stylish spin around Rec Room with the following QOL improvements:
• Outfits are now nameable AND searchable.
• A new dynamic scrolling layout.
• Fast links to purchase more outfit slots with RR+ or additional outfit items in the store.
• Did you know you can jump to get out of some seats? Well, now there's a button prompt so you know!

Rec Room Studio

• 
  Improve performance in Studio for Rec Room Objects with a large number of exposed properties or events
  
• 
  Fixed an issue in Rec Room Studio where removing the Rec Room Object component from a prefab left the room's Maker Pen Scene in an incorrect state
  
• Added support for post-processing effects in Rec Room Studio.
• You can now enter search terms to filter the list of rooms displayed in the Pick Room window.
• You can now chat with co-owners who are playing in the same room that you are editing.

Equals Node V2 - Value Equals

• Added a new version of the Equals chip in beta.
• The new version supports up to 64 inputs, and short-circuits once it finds an input that isn't equal to the others. So if the first two values are different, you won't pay the heat cost for the other 62!
• It also checks for value equality when comparing lists. That means that two lists will be considered equal if each of their corresponding elements are equal. One more way in which lists are now slightly less weird!
• It also also has a fix for a bug where casting a value to Rec Room Object and then comparing it with the original value would return false. That didn't make any sense, so we made it make sense.
• It also also also has a fix for a bug where if you compared a "Rec Room color" with the exact same color from the custom color picker, it would return false. The new version understands that the same colors are the same.

CircuitsV2 chips for Player Interactions

• Added a beta Circuits feature that lets you interact with other players!
• You can now interact with players in a similar way as doors, buttons, and items in Rec Room!
• Use the "Player Enable Interaction Locally" and "Player Disable Interaction Locally" chips to turn this on and off for players in a room, and configure how those interactions should work.
• Use the "Event Receiver" chip inside a Player Definition Board to see when a player has interacted with someone!

• Fixed a bug with InverseLerp with Color or Vector3 - if the start and end values are the same, the result will now always be 0. This matches the behavior when using it with float.
• Fixed an issue where control panels for objects would sometimes very slowly drift away from where they were when not selected.
• Fixed a bug where object boards from unselected objects would sometimes come along for the ride when cloning/copying/making an invention. Beware of hitchhiking ghosts!
• Deprecated and replaced the To String chip. The new version "properly" wraps "strings" in "quotes" when they're inside of "lists" and "tuples."

In-Room Economy Improvements

• Added the 'Award Room Key' and 'Award Consumable' chips. These give users a Key/Consumables without needing to purchase. This also enables you to bundle your Keys/Currencies/Consumables with a single purchase.
• Added 'Show Purchase Prompt' chip. This pulls up the details page of a Key or Consumable on the watch. Now you can use Buttons, Interaction Volumes, etc. for purchasing Keys/Consumables.
• To use these chips, make sure you have Creator Beta Tools enabled for the room.
• The 'Add Currency' chip has been renamed to 'Award Currency'
• Lastly, Creators and Co-Owners can now set their own Room Currency balance for debugging/testing. You can locate this on the Room Currencies page in the Room Settings.

• Non-selectable objects now block maker pen tools, avoiding the possibility of deleting or selecting objects that are hidden from view behind a non-selectable object.
• Fixed a bug where CV1 Spawners would sometimes stop working after being cloned or put into an invention. (Unfortunately, any already-broken inventions will stay that way - sorry!)

Rec Room Studio

• Fixed bug introduced with the last update where burst fire guns had a longer delay between rounds of burst fire.
• "Rotate in place" now works correctly for odd-shaped objects. They will now... get ready for it... rotate in place! Amazing, we know.
