Full Body Avatars BETA Fixes

  • Fixed a bug where full body custom shirts do not appear immediately in the mirror after purchase.
  • Grabbed objects while using Full Body should now have the same orientation as when using Bean Body, and we restored all original orientations so it should feel just like it did in 2023.
  • Added a toggle in Miscellaneous Settings to allow players without full body access to still view and purchase full body items.
  • When seeing your full body on the title screen, during the loading screen, and in the avatar customization menu, your hands will pose and animate similar to how the bean body does.

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. This version works more like the Player Prompt Multiple Choice chip, using the new UI and the same port layout. There are several more updates to Player Prompt Multiple Choice in this update which also apply to this new chip.
  • Updates to Player Prompt Multiple Choice:
    • Hitting "OK" now closes the watch if the watch was closed when you received the prompt
      • Hitting the X button now works the same as hitting the Cancel button
        • A warning now shows in the maker pen log if the chip is run while a prompt is already open

          • Newly placed chips now immediately pop open the watch by default instead of sending a watch notification. You can switch back to the old behavior with the configure tool, and you can switch old chips to the new behavior there as well.

            • Newly placed chips now dismiss the prompt if the player closes their watch after seeing it. You can turn this off with the configure tool, and you can turn it on for older chips there as well.

            Rec Room Studio

            • Open your existing rooms or create new ones by clicking the "My Rooms" button on the Rec Room Studio window. You may remember this button was recently called the "Open a Room" button. Names were changed to protect the innocent.
