Update 3.1.0

v3.1.0 is now LIVE after 3 months of development and weeks of closed beta testing. This is a very big update. Our game engine has been updated multiple versions. We've swapped out or updated many of our foundational systems such as voice chat, IK, and VR interaction. There will be bugs - please help us solve them by sending detailed feedback on how to reproduce the bugs to the discord #feedback channel. Thanks for your patience. As a reward, all players that hit Level 20 will receive the first ever Jersey cosmetic, which changes color based on team. ❤️

Shout out to everyone in the Closed Beta that helped us solve nearly 50 bugs in the past few weeks. We appreciate you! See the bug list here. We'll be moving remaining open bugs to Canny.

v2.8.2 - Jolly Mode is here!

CHANGELOG - v2.8.2
- Jolly Mode has come to the Snapshot Arena! Toggle it on or off the same way you would for Spooky Mode.
- Tips and Tricks UI has been added to the Lobby and to the wall of each team pit. This has basic information on how the game works. Let us know what we should add for new players.
- Short and Tall Cake bunker dimensions have been adjusted
- Head and Hand networked position accuracy has been increased across all platforms
- New SFX added for when a projectile collides with a bunker. We're looking for feedback on how this sound should be tweaked.
- Discord bot in #live-match-updates now shows Time Remaining for the match
- Legacy map files that were included with the build have been removed. We'll upload them to a public drive in case anyone wants to reupload them as cloud maps.

v2.8.0 - Airball 1:1 scale bunkers and Xball mode!

CHANGELOG - v2.8.0
- The new Airball bunker kit with 1:1 scale inflatable bunkers is live with the updated NXL World Cup 2022 layout. Find it in the New tab as `2dp_Air_NXL_World_Cup_2022`. You may now submit new layouts, or copies of existing layouts, with `_Air_` inserted into the file name to enable the new tileset when the layout is loaded (you may need to tweak bunker positions, as the bunker sizes are not identical between tilesets).
- Xball mode (beta) is now selectable in the Game Mode dropdown. Xball mode is a 7 minute timed match that requires that the buzzer or concede button be hit to end the current round. The concede button is enabled by default when Xball mode is selected. Bots have been adjusted to be able to hit the buzzer.
- Player hand and head positions have been updated to be more accurate when synced across the network.
- Player min head/body height has been lowered to allow for playing of the new snake beams.
- Multiple bunkers from the default Snapshot bunker kit have been updated to ensure they cannot be looked through when the head is colliding with the bunker.
- Shot and reload capacity now resets twice per round. Once when the player is spawned to the field, and again when the point starts.

v2.7.5 - SPOOKY MODE!

CHANGELOG
- Spooky mode has returned! Enable on the Admin panel
- Quest arena banners updated
- Gun calibration station sphere has been made slightly smaller

v2.7.4

CHANGELOG - v2.7.4
- Team change restriction updated. Instead of only being able to switch teams while match is paused or in between matches, now it limits you from switching teams too close to the end of a countdown that would spawn you on to the field.
- Fix for voice channels. Still supporting all three voice modes, but reverted to the previous model of joining/disconnecting from channels during different game states.
- Fix for spectators being kicked for being idle.
- VRML S3 tab with season maps added to pedestal
