Rec Room UPDATE - the "Bye Bye Bear!" Edition

TLDR

  • Rec Room has parted ways with EAC.
  • Moved the Reset button to be more visible and now in the room details page.
  • Added the ability to spawn free Rooms 2 inventions without downloading them, straight from the palette.

Rooms 2

  • From the maker pen palette, you can now spawn free Rooms 2 inventions without downloading them.
  • Replicators and Player boards are on their way to becoming cheaper! Watch for removal of memory limits soon.

Circuits

  • Added "Global Explosion Hit Player" CV2 event
  • Added a "Hit Player" port to "Global Projectile Hit Player" so you don't have to extract it from the Collision Data

General Improvements & Bug Fixes

  • Removed EAC files. Look out for an upcoming blog with more details, but for now, have fun with the extra disk space!
  • Moved the Reset button - previously buried in the Maker Pen settings - to the room details page. This does not fully reload your room, but will return all circuit and object settings to their Home Values.
  • Fixed a bug where you could attempt to save updates to invalid inventions.
  • Fixed an issue where, on Screens, the interaction distance is abnormally short when flying in third person mode.
  • On Screens, when holding an object while flying in third person mode, you can now also use the jump and crouch buttons to ascend/descend.
  • Fixed an issue where voice lines are not properly displayed on other players when you hear them talking.
  • Fixed an issue where Show Voice Lines toggle in Settings menu isn't applied properly.
  • Fixed an issue where, on Screens, switching between 1st and 3rd person while waving/reach out your hands makes the hand jitter afterwards.
  • Fixed a bug where the control points for tubes and ribbons would sometimes stick around after you were done editing them.
  • Added a visual for a tutorial step that was missing in the dorm
  • Added a config button to mobile maker pen.
  • In Create mode, the beta mobile maker pen now pre-populates the contextual toolbar with the current room's inventions. In Classic maker pen mode, this manifests as a new carousel in the Inventions tab.
  • Fixed an issue where just-in-time tutorials stop working after switching accounts.
  • Changed the app store icons back to normal.

Avatar Studio

  • Fixed a bug when placing an Invention that contains Studio Audio Constants where other players could not use the audio until the room is saved.
  • Fixed a bug where deleting materials that are generated from an FBX can cause a Studio cloud build failure.
