Rec Room PATCH - the “Look, Ma! My Hands are Reoriented!” edition

Full Body Avatars

• All level 40+ players should have access to FBA now, check it out in your dorm room mirror!
• FBA Beta fix: For items that are supposed to hide ears (ear covering hair items), or completely hide hands (ex: boxing gloves), the full body avatar will now do the right thing and properly remove that part of the player.
• We fixed the strange "mouth askew" issue that you could only see on other players, and while fixing it, we improved the range of adjustments you can make for the full body avatar. You can still smirk if you want to!
• We also did some work to prevent face features from colliding, so an avatar always has the right order of features from top to bottom: eyebrows, eyes, nose, then mouth… heeeeeead, shoulders, knees and toes (knees and toes!)
• We gave our full body avatars the power of telekinesis! This will fix the issue where held objects are restricted by the length of your arm. We can’t wait to find out the unintended consequences of this!
• More FBA item fixes for Steampunk Gloves and Dragon Knight Wrist
• Sometimes when switching between avatar types, your avatar's ability to push buttons or trigger volumes with your hands stopped working. Fixed!
• Swatted a bug where if you are previewing custom shirts using full body, you could then go to the Rec Center with the unowned custom shirt and see it in your local view (other's couldn't see the bug).

Rooms 2.0

• Fixed an issue where a hierarchy could have different authorities for different objects within it. Just like the mitochondria is always the powerhouse of the cell, hierarchies will always match the authority of the root object.
• Loading into a subroom from another subroom in the same room can now show the subroom name in the loading screen in addition to the room name.
• Default custom locomotion graph now contains wall run and players now are able to perform wall run out of the box on the surfaces that are configured correctly. PARKOUR!
• Supporting the pricing of Offers with Inventory Items. Offers priced with Inventory Items do not require RR+ membership. The price icons for these offers are customizable, similar to room currency in Rooms 1.

• Added 'Update' event in beta to run circuits at the current frame rate.
• Unless the local player uses the maker pen, Rec Room will no longer automatically backup the room for them.
• Deleted the redundant "Set Object" button for the Spawner Component.
• Added a new chip in beta ("Rec Room Object Get All with Tag (new)"). This is similar to the existing "Rec Room Object Get All with Tag", but will return the objects in the same order for every player in a room. Just in case you didn’t like the randomness!
• Fixed room cards (the thumbnails in the menu) not scaling properly on non-PC platforms.
• Squashed a bug where the back button on a UGC storefront would redirect to a blank page.

• We’re tweaking how Similar Rooms are recommended to you to prefer rooms that are similar, but also have players in them.

Rec Room Studio

• Added new “Anchor UI” studio functions (Anchor & Detach) to the “Rec Room Canvas UI Interaction” component that allows creators to anchor a screen player’s camera to a worldspace UI, or move a menu to be anchored to a screen player’s camera and enable interactions using a cursor (PC/Console) or touch interactions (Mobile). VR is not supported… Yet.
• Fixed "Paste as Child" for Maker Pen scene objects to ensure that the pasted objects are correctly initialized.

• Improved accuracy of the CV2 row in the Memory Explorer.

Player Prompt Text & Player Prompt Multiple Choice Chip Updates

• New "Player Prompt Text" chip in beta - this is an updated version of the old Prompt Local Player chip, which will be deprecated once this new version leaves beta.

      • A warning now shows in the maker pen log if the chip is run while a prompt is already open

Rec Room PATCH - the "Too Much to Handles" edition

Third Person Mode

We're starting to roll out big updates to third-person mode!

Soon you will be able to pick things up, throw a ball, shoot a gun, and swing a sword (you know, actually engage with the world), all in the third-person mode! And it will be a great way to enjoy your full-body avatar.

• Q: What platforms will support third-person? A: All Screens platforms (Gamepad, Keyboard, and Touch). No out-of-body experience for VR.
• Q: When will I get it? A: We're carefully A/B testing this feature over several rounds, hopefully "Soon"
• Q: What is happening to first-person? A: First-person mode is here to stay! Third-person will be an entirely optional way to play.
• Q: How does third-person work in UGC Rooms? A: By using our cross-platform building blocks like Handles, Interaction Volumes, Locomotion Circuits, etc. most rooms already work great in third-person! Later, we'll add new circuits for creators to customize or restrict third-person if the room is meant to be played in a specific way.

We believe "iteration is quality", and we'll be iterating on third-person a lot this year, so let us know your feedback!

General Improvements and Bug Fixes

• Player UIs only show above your own head in third person if you have opted in to Show Own Nametag in Third Person

• While wall climbing, Screens can drop off (or slowly descend) by pressing Crouch
• Fixed the infinite shot bow bug.

• Custom skyboxes are working again!
• Fix RRStudio not relaunching for some users after an update is applied. (Fix will apply on the next release after this one)

• When moving, rotating, or scaling hierarchies of objects in R2 rooms, objects will now end up in the right place and at the right scale, without jittering around in the process.
• Fixed an error message that appeared when attempting to test Rooms 2.0 subrooms in-game.

This lets you build systems where, for example, players on the same team can hear each other from far away, but players on opposing teams can't. Added Player Override Voice Rolloff Distance and Player Clear Voice Rolloff Distance Override chips to let you do this!

• Custom CV2 footstep is also enabled in Rooms 2. Like locomotion, you can spawn a default audio graph from the Player Definition Board config menu. This graph implements our standard footstep audio in CV2, and then modify that graph to implement your own custom footstep behaviors.

• Fixed a bug that could cause the port types inside boards not to update properly.
• Fixed an issue that could cause the CV1 spawner chip to move to an incorrect location.
• Fixed slanted quotation marks (like those on iOS) showing as asterisks in Room Chat, and not showing up at all on the UGC Text Component.

Rec Room Studio Tools

• Use the "Test Suboom" button now to test your room locally without having to wait on a cloud build. It's now easier to upload and save your work to Rec.net as many times as you want, and then later go back and choose which saves to actually build.
• Added a download button to each room save in the room save list.
• Made it easier to find the Room Save Inspector, which lets you build any unbuilt save and tells you the in-game download sizes of your room on different platforms.

• Memory Explorer has a new tab for Circuits node data.
• Dramatically reduced loading time for rooms with many Maker Pen shapes.

##Rec Room Studio Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where the 'Fix Me' option would show on materials validation errors that don't have an available upgrader.
• It's been a sore spot that having multiple RecRoomObject components within your prefabs makes them explode when put in a room. Luckily that should be fixed! You can have prefabs that include objects with the RecRoomObject on them. Note that any Circuits from those nested objects won't be included.
• Fix a common cause & another potential source of 'RecRoomObject was destroyed' errors.
• Fixed a bug causing uploads to fail when the Assets/RecRoomStudio folder is deleted.

• It's now possible to adjust the scale of containers and have their children scale correctly. (Be careful not to let your container's scale reach 0. We still have a bug in that case.)
• It should now be possible to adjust the non-uniform scale of shapes and other deformable objects and see them scale correctly.
• Fixed a bug that produced an error message in the console when a creator attempted to place an unsupported UGC object in a Rooms 2.0 room.

• How To: An info page on the Progression Profile so you can see how to earn in-game XP
• Watch Home Presence: View your level and progress on the home tab of your watch, and access the Progression Profile page by clicking it
• XP Gain Tracking: Track the amount of XP you gain as you earn it

Rec Room Studio

Rec Room PATCH - the "Coming to a Beta Near You" edition

General Improvements & Bug Fixes

• Adding a new Aim Assist Enabled config option to the Swing Handle.
• Spaces and special characters are now allowed in port and chip names.
• Fixed an issue that could cause the port types inside boards not to update properly.

Rec Room Studio

• Making it clear that MobileVR devices like Quest and Pico use the same asset import and build settings as Android, so you can check your room's MobileVR memory estimate and download size by looking at the Android sizes.
• Fixed a common cause of 'RecRoomObject' destroyed errors.

Rec Room PATCH - the "Coming to a Beta Near You" edition

• Fixed up some UI bugs with the Rec Room Studio Room Creator Chat and Circuit Palette windows. Now it's easier to send messages to fellow-creators who are in the room in-game.

Rec Room PATCH - the "Coming to a Beta Near You" edition

General Improvements

• Animation Controller improvements:
• Added the following chips into Beta: Animation Get Time Stamp, Animation Set Time Stamp, Animation Get Frame
• 'Animation Set Frame' now generates the correct amount of network heat, and no longer scales its frame index with the animation speed.
• Added a speed configure field.
• Added confirm delete dialogs for frames and object connections.
• Added 'Rec Room Object Reset' support to stop the animation and reset it to the first frame.
• Increased frame cap from 49 to 100.
• Reduced the ink to match the Animation Gizmo V1
• New beta chip: "Request Velocity Set Over Duration". This is equivalent to "Velocity Set", except it will continuously apply the velocity until either the input duration elapses, the authority of the input object changes, or another impulse is applied from a different CV2 chip (whichever is soonest)
• Added the new "Collision Detection Volume" component into beta! This is similar to the trigger volume, but works better for detecting at fast speeds and getting more data when hitting players or objects. This component is what is used in Make it to Midnight to detect Bonky's hammer hitting players, and we expect players will be able to pair this with the Swing Handle to make great custom melee weapons!
• Added a new beta spawnable tool Dialogue UI, which is a floating text box with some optional labels, an optional directional affordance, and up to four buttons.
• Beta update: Removed Throw Handle from Spawner components
• Editing curve and ribbon control points improved
• New to Beta: Swing Handle Component
• Tweaked support for emojis and extended Unicode in chat

• Fixed a bug with Swatch UI so that it updates correctly
• Weapon prop beacon settings should now update properly between players
• Fix object highlight outlines in mirrors on iOS
• Cat Hat and Yeti Hat can no longer be adjusted to completely cover the player's eyes

Rec Room Studio

• Studio Functions provide a new way to author custom chips that interact with your Rec Room Studio prefabs. You can add Studio Functions to the Rec Room Object component on your Rec Room Studio prefab, and each Studio Function you create can be called by a Studio Function Chip that you can create and configure in-game with your Maker Pen.
• Remove options from the Render Pipeline Converter that could break materials if used incorrectly
• Fixed a bug where bloom/emissive materials weren't showing up correctly while in RRStudio.
• Validate that cameras have an output texture set to prevent drawing directly to the main screen buffer
• Improve camera validation messaging & add help links
• Performance improvements for Playing or Uploading rooms
• Fix the error "Could not initialize the Rec Room API. The type initializer for ... threw an exception"

Rec Room PATCH - the “Coming to a Beta Near You” edition

General Improvements

• Room Tag Update: Enhanced tagging system in Rec Room for better room discoverability and clearer genre categorization.
• New chip: "Vector3 Inverse"
• New beta chip: "Add Velocity (New)". This is equivalent to the existing "Add Velocity" chip, but when run against remote players it will immediately simulate the impulse locally to make it feel more responsive. Eventually, we plan for this chip to replace the existing Add Velocity chip. This chip makes Bonky's hammer delightfully thwacky in ^MakeItToMidnight.
• Added beta events for the following player actions: Jumped, Landed, Grounded, Sprint Started, Sprint Stopped, Slide Started, Clamber Started.
• Added the following player state getters to beta: Clambering, Crouching, Grounded, Prone, Sliding, Sprinting, Normalized Steering Speed.
• “Player Get Equipped Objects” chip now properly outputs root objects in rooms with Hierarchical Building enabled
• Get ready to build fun new content around players using the Share Camera! We added the “Player Took Share Camera Photo” event in Beta, which outputs position and direction at which a Share Camera photo is taken, and lists of players and objects in the captured photo.
• On top of that, get your players posting about your room with the “Player Uploaded Public Share Camera Photo” event that invokes when someone in the room saves a public photo to RecNet
• UGC storefronts in cloned rooms will no longer display room currency packages from the original room
• Shapes in a container with an Interaction Volume will be highlighted when the player looks at the Interaction Volume
• Players on some Android devices will see an increase in framerate
• When sending a gift to a player, the selected player will now be highlighted
• We revised the config menu for circuit and object boards to improve the experience of adding and managing ports. You can now see the type of existing ports, change a port’s type without deleting and recreating it, and search the type assignment screen to cut down on scrolling. Plus those pesky plus buttons are gone, and it all looks better in Advanced Creator Mode!

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug that would cause scrolling to immediately stop when the scroll was ended –when it should have maintained some inertia and slowed to a stop gradually.
• Fixed missing objects on some low-end Android devices.
• Fixed a bug that could cause Moods V2 elements not to update properly.
• Fixed missing circuit connections not rendering on Quest 2.
• Resolved a disabled interactable slider that did not function in avatar customization. The slider will now correctly appear disabled.
• Fixed colors on Cyber Skeleton avatar items.

Rec Room Studio

• RecRoomObject prefabs can be opened directly from the hierarchy.
• Running out of chip allowance in your RRStudio room? Delete the Object Board for a Studio Object using the Object Config menu accessed with the Maker Pen.
• Ever wondered how your room is performing? Now there's an easy link to all of that info from RRStudio! Just click on the "link" icon next to your loaded room's name in the Room/Scene window.
• Component types now show different instances on the Misc page of the Memory Explorer menu
• Memory Explorer details view makes it easier to select the resource being displayed.
• When 'Play' fails, the Console window comes into focus to display the errors that caused the failure.
• Previously all the materials, textures, and meshes that are used in the provided RecRoom Prefabs would show up in the Project window, but you would get an error if you tried to use anything other than a prefab in your room. In order to reduce confusion, we've hidden those assets that aren’t usable.
• Fixed a bug that caused some rooms to fail to upload & build after running a validation fix.
