Creators can now set up a custom loading screen for their rooms! This will appear to all players on non-VR platforms.
- To set it up, go to your room's page on rec.net, and click the settings button (gear icon) under the room's description. Choose from an existing image in your room, and add a title and subtitle.
- If a room doesn't have a loading screen, its room image, name and description will be shown instead.
## Screens Quality of Life Improvements
- Disabled camera bob/sway when using the Maker Pen on Screens. This makes creating small details easier.
- Using the Maker Pen to Move/Configure a door/button will no longer unintentionally use the door/button.
- Fixed drawing surfaces putting a dot in the middle of the canvas when you start using them.
- Improved player animation when drawing
- The Screens setting "Hide Control Hints" also hides the reticle/crosshair. This makes it easier to get clean screen recordings.
## Rec Royale Improvements
- Chests are now more concentrated in and around Locales rather than randomly off the beaten path. We hope this encourages more combat encounters in places where they were designed to take place.
- Lowered the gondola starting height to make the decision of when to drop more impactful.
- Performance improvements & sound adjustments (new footstep sounds, downing an opponent sound, win sound, and more local ambience to areas around the map
- Fixed some cases where VR players could fall through the ground when exiting the glider.
## General Improvements
- Flying AIs no longer slow down to a crawl when trying to go up or down slopes.
- AIs now always display the exclamation point over their heads when starting Combat Behavior. Not just the first time.
- VR Teleport players no longer get shoved outside Invisible Collision volumes that don't stop Players.
- Fixed Gizmos not starting automatically when saving or loading a Room.
- Fixed Rec Royale menu not popping up automatically after matches.
- The clone tool now has a center handle to clone in place.
- The Invention creation and publishing flows have been cleaned up and simplified
- You can create an invention directly from the context menu (...) when using the Select Tool
- Fixed various instances where custom loading screens were not being shown for upcoming rooms (community boards, playlists, etc)
- Team color will now be applied to goblins, pirates and skeletons in spawner gadget
- Fixed bug with the free gift button where it would always show the disabled error message even when it wasn't disabled.
- Changes to other room settings are now not ignored and reverted when enabling "Allow Creative Tools Beta Content"
- AI enemies spawned hold the recolor assigned by the maker pen
- The AI Stop Combat chip works. AI enemies will not engage in combat if wired to this chip
- Snap to center only snaps the center of the object, not the bounds
- Reworked how voice chat adjusts the volume and fades the voices of Players based on their distance from you and the direction Players are facing. You can turn this on/off in your rooms through the Subroom configuration screen (Use Directional Voice Chat).
- When setting Team Spawn Point Selection Mode to "Team" in the Game Rules Chip, it now correctly chooses Spawn Points away from opponents and near teammates instead of randomly. Fixes but where respawn locations would "become random" when saving rooms copied from ^Paintball.
- Snap Settings can now be adjusted even when Snapping is currently turned off
- When moving an object via Undo, its Cleanup position will also move appropriately instead of remaining in the previous position.
- When rotating objects with the axis handles, other axes will no longer snap if snap settings are on.
- When players Restore a room, they will now be respawned in-place rather than returned to the Welcome Mat
- The Player Joined event should now fire properly for connecting players
