UGC Beta

New UGC Beta chips: Instance Get Lifetime, Player Get Is Room Contributor, Modulo (the existing Modulo chip has been renamed to 'Remainder'), Get HUD Enabled, Gun Handle Get Continuous Fire, Gun Handle Set Continuous Fire, Player Get Players In Radio Channel, Instance Get Is Multi-Instance Event, Parse Time, Equip Share Camera, Share Camera Get Is Spawned, Inventory Item Get Image, Get Inventory Item From Name

Deprecating beta chip PlayerGetNormalizedSteeringSpeed. You can use the new PlayerGetSteeringSpeed in combination with PlayerGetWalkSpeed to calculate this value if it is needed moving forward.

Rooms 2.0

The Voice Rolloff Distance player property can now be locally overridden. 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!
Go To Room chip is now available.
Added limited support for inventions. Creators should now be able to create inventions in Rooms 2. Rooms 2 inventions cannot yet be published.
Touchpad is now supported in Rooms 2.
Trigger Volume is now supported in Rooms 2, and can filter players by player tag.
Gun Handle is now available in Rooms 2.
Collision Detection Volumes now output the root object hit when hitting an object in a hierarchy. (Unfortunately, it's probably still listed as "Container" instead of by name.)
A number of bugs have been fixed around Object Board positioning, especially the way they jump around after reparenting.
Rewards and Room HUD now support Inventory Items.
VR support has been added for Inventory Item Equipment Slots. Find them on the inside of one of your wrists, with room chat on the other.
Added quick-access gamepad controls for Inventory Item Equipment Slots.
Added visibility settings to Room Inventory Items for more control over what gets displayed in the Room Inventory.
Custom CV2 Locomotion is now enabled in Rooms 2. This allows you to modify locomotion via a default graph of new events and chips that spawn inside new Player Definition Boards. NOTE: In rooms with existing Player Definition Boards, you'll need to use the "Spawn Default Locomotion Chips" button in the config menu to bring your room up to date.
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.

General Improvements

Data table room saves will now be set as the active save in unpublished rooms.
Data table chips can more reliably import data from external spreadsheet programs. They now accept commas, quotes, and newline characters.
Click-drag operation for recoloring is now supported outside shape containers.
Reduced how long there's a black screen at the start of \^Orientation.

Fixed the bug that Voice Volume is always 100% upon login, even if shown otherwise.
Fixed projectiles fired from Projectile Launchers inherit the velocity of the launcher.
Items locked with keys will now start unlocked in a cloned version of the room.
Fixed an issue where walking too close to the community board would start scrolling the UI instead of continuing to walk.
Fixed an issue where, when using art canvas or Touch Pad components while flying, you could still steer your avatar body around while having the main camera fixed in place.
Fixed a bug causing the interacting player to freeze (even after swapping rooms) if they are interacting with a Touchpad component when someone else deletes the Touch Pad.
Fixed a bug where closing the Maker Pen menu would clear your selection when the Create tool was active.
Players no longer get stuck with an unusable Maker Pen after canceling the Create Invention flow at the camera stage.

Navigating to the Config menu after selecting a circuit bus chip will now correctly display the Config settings for the containing board.
Fixed a bug that prevented circuit boards containing studio function chips from being copied in one room and pasted into another room.

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.
Check out an early version of 'Performance Explorer' -a new tool that will help you identify & solve performance issues with your room. In this first version, see the overall triangle counts of your room, as well as details of the lights & cameras.

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.
Loading Studio Function Chips that reference a Studio Function that is no longer defined in the room no longer throws an exception.
Fixed a bug that could cause some rooms to take a long time to load, and produced an error message when they finally finished loading.
Fix a minor bug that prevented editing Studio Functions on a newly-created Rec Room Object component.
Fixed a bug that prevented undoing the placement of new props into the Maker Pen Scene.
Fixed an issue with undoing and redoing changes to the position or rotation of an object that contains an Object Board.
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.
Rooms 2.0 in RRStudio fixes:
Renaming a Container will now rename its Object Board (and vice versa).
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.
