Rec Room UPDATE - the “Fun with Functions!” edition

Circuits

• Circuits now support Functions, which effectively let you create your own chips! Place down a Function Definition chip and edit into it to define what your function will do. Then, you can put down Call [NameOfYourFunction] chips down anywhere in your room to call that function. No more copying the same group of chips 10 different times, only to find out you have a bug and need to copy/paste all of them again! Go check out our dev blog here for more information on how to use this feature!

Rooms 2.0

• The Animation Controller is now available in Rooms 2.0. (The controls have changed a little, and may continue to evolve. Select the Animation Controller and use the Quick Action Menu to add objects to the animation. Access the keyframing controls via the Config Menu. Otherwise it works like it did before!)
• Inventory sorting tabs are capitalized on the Room Inventory page, and any underscores in the tag names here will show up as spaces.
• Fixed an issue where a few of the Pathfinder events didn’t get correctly moved into Beta.
• Fixed an issue where multiple people in a 2.0 room would cause Rooms 2.0 to lag severely.
• Fixed an issue in Rooms 2.0 where Object Boards in Inventions would break Connections between them after spawning.

General Improvements & Bug Fixes

• Added a new This Room category of room permissions to enable more detailed control of creator permissions. These permissions are all saved at the room-level as opposed to the existing permissions which all save at the subroom-level. Check out more information here!

• Improved memory explorer estimates for meshes that are stored in unity .asset files rather than fbx/obj.
• You can now open a legacy room and copy content, then open a Rooms 2.0 room and paste that content inside Rec Room Studio. Some objects that aren't supported in Rooms 2.0 are replaced with empty Container objects with the name of the object that couldn't be pasted. (Ahem, CV1, I’m looking at you.)

Experiments

• We'll be testing out a new 5-point rating system for Room Feedback. Let us know how much you enjoyed your experience in a room so we can better recommend content personalized for you!
• We’ll be testing the effects of adding or removing Token Bundles from the Token Store.

Rec Room UPDATE - The "Pathfinder" Update

Rooms 2.0

• New Component: The Pathfinder! Put the pathfinder into your compound objects so it can path from place to place. (Requires Navmesh to work - bake it in the room settings like usual.) Also includes new chips: Pathfinder Get/Set Max Acceleration, Get/Set Angular Speed, Get/Set Max Linear Speed, Get/Set Pathing State, Get/Set Pathing Target, Get/Set Rotation State, Get/Set Rotation Target, Start Pathing to Position, Start Rotating to Direction, Stop Pathing, Stop Rotating, Get/Set Ground Clamping, Get/Set Tags To Ignore.
• Interaction Filters in Rooms 2 will now behave hierarchically. In order to interact with a filtered component, the player must pass the filter on the component itself, as well as on each container it's inside of. (For most intents and purposes, you'll only need to set it at the root.)
• The Player Definition Board can now be spawned from the palette with the circuits for locomotion and footstep audio included automatically. No more being unable to move until you flip a switch!
• Replicators will now be visible in the Hierarchy View
• Replicator Spawned Copies will now properly disable their Object Board circuit graphs when Pooled
• Fixed some issues with Replicator reliability
• Fixed a bug where spheres would not roll.

General Improvements & Bug Fixes

• Circuit wiring operations are now undoable and redoable, and wired connections are restored when undoing the deletion of an object or chip.
• You're now able to trim clips when using the new CV2 Holotars.
• New App Boot timing telemetry.
• Fixed a bug preventing second edit of Animation Controller with Maker Pen.
• Fixed a bug that could cause explosive weapons to not deal any damage.

Rec Room Studio

• The Unity 'Visual Effect' components did not work correctly in Rec Room, so support for this Unity component is now blocked from being used in RR Studio rooms.
• Any null instruction entries within a Studio Function will now be identified during room validation. The validation error when these are found will help you locate the relevant prefab and studio function, and provides an automated fix option to simply remove all null instruction entries.
• Improve the speed of downloading room content when there are many files in your room.
• Fixed a bug with Rec Room Studio NavMesh Cut where sometimes rooms with it might have navmesh tiles go missing. If you saved a room while a navmesh tile was missing previously due to this bug, you may need to re-bake your navmesh.

Experiments

• We're testing out a blob shadow specifically for bean avatars in third person to help with platforming and obby rooms, since it can be hard to tell where you are standing/jumping/falling without legs!
• A/B test for PUG: After a Hot Pick Game, PUG initiators will receive a result page showing who participated in the same PUG and what answers they picked.
• Adds a memory meter to Maker Pen palette for creators to gauge and improve performance in their rooms. (note: experiment gated so this will ship to a subset of players)

Rec Room PATCH - the “Look, Ma! My Hands are Reoriented!” edition

Full Body Avatars

• All level 40+ players should have access to FBA now, check it out in your dorm room mirror!

• We fixed the strange "mouth askew" issue that you could only see on other players, and while fixing it, we improved the range of adjustments you can make for the full body avatar. You can still smirk if you want to!

• Unless the local player uses the maker pen, Rec Room will no longer automatically backup the room for them.
• Deleted the redundant "Set Object" button for the Spawner Component.

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.

Rec Room PATCH - the "Too Much to Handles" edition

Third Person Mode

We're starting to roll out big updates to third-person mode!

Soon you will be able to pick things up, throw a ball, shoot a gun, and swing a sword (you know, actually engage with the world), all in the third-person mode! And it will be a great way to enjoy your full-body avatar.

• Q: What platforms will support third-person? A: All Screens platforms (Gamepad, Keyboard, and Touch). No out-of-body experience for VR.
• Q: When will I get it? A: We're carefully A/B testing this feature over several rounds, hopefully "Soon"
• Q: What is happening to first-person? A: First-person mode is here to stay! Third-person will be an entirely optional way to play.
• Q: How does third-person work in UGC Rooms? A: By using our cross-platform building blocks like Handles, Interaction Volumes, Locomotion Circuits, etc. most rooms already work great in third-person! Later, we'll add new circuits for creators to customize or restrict third-person if the room is meant to be played in a specific way.

We believe "iteration is quality", and we'll be iterating on third-person a lot this year, so let us know your feedback!

General Improvements and Bug Fixes

• Player UIs only show above your own head in third person if you have opted in to Show Own Nametag in Third Person

• While wall climbing, Screens can drop off (or slowly descend) by pressing Crouch
• Fixed the infinite shot bow bug.

• Custom skyboxes are working again!
• Fix RRStudio not relaunching for some users after an update is applied. (Fix will apply on the next release after this one)

Rec Room Studio Bug Fixes

• You can no longer accidentally delete nodes in the Circuit Editor that should not be deleted (ex: In/Out nodes within Object Boards)

• When moving, rotating, or scaling hierarchies of objects in R2 rooms, objects will now end up in the right place and at the right scale, without jittering around in the process.
• Fixed an error message that appeared when attempting to test Rooms 2.0 subrooms in-game.

• 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!
