Rec Room UPDATE - the "1Hz Donut" Edition

TLDR

  • Bean body customization sliders are here!
  • Basketball, campfire, and microphone props are now in Rooms 2.
  • Arrows no longer hide your view when they cover your eyes.

Rooms 2

  • The basketball, campfire, and microphone props are now available in Rooms 2.
  • Custom Locomotion is coming out of beta in Rooms 2 along with over 100 chips!
  • Rearranged the invention palette in Rooms 2 so downloaded inventions are closer to the top.
  • Added the invention store carousel to the maker pen palette.
  • Fixed an issue where child objects in pooled replicator-created objects and replicator target objects were still getting picked up by Get All With Tag and Get First With Tag queries.
  • Fixed an issue where Replicators were breaking after being cloned.
  • Improved messaging for the Rooms 2 invention store.

Avatars

  • Bean Body customization sliders are here! Customize your body to your outfit or to you, in bean or FBA.
  • Fixed an issue where you couldn't see body property changes when using the Customize menu outside of the dorm.

Avatar Studio

  • Fixed the TestAvatar's body shapes to look correct (ie: match real body shapes in-game) by increasing the project-wide mesh skin weights quality setting to "4 Bones".

General Improvements & Bug Fixes

  • Added the Update1Hz Event - an event that executes at 1hz frequency, configurable in the Event Receiver chip in Beta Rooms.
  • If you get hit in the face by an arrow, it'll no longer hide your view! Just like if you take an arrow to the knee you'll no longer be able to be an adventurer like me :^)
  • Added extra safeguards around whiteboards and holotars in junior-created rooms. Non-junior co-owners are limited to what owners can do in junior-created rooms.
  • Fixed an issue where variables inside object boards are sometimes not reset by the Rec Room Object Reset chip.
  • Fixed an issue that caused the surface snapping offset to be very far away from the targeted surface.
  • You can no longer attempt to offer a gesture while you are in Place mode with an object.
  • VR players will no longer crouch when updating body properties in their dorm.

Experiments

  • We received lots of positive feedback last year regarding how Place really improved the experience manipulating MakerPen shapes! We are now experimenting bringing Place to work on Rooms 2 and Rec Room Studio objects.
  • Added an experiment that consolidates the Play menu into fewer tabs with each tab having clear responsibilities. This should help you find the right content quicker without needing to scroll endlessly on the main play highlights page.
