Redmatch 2 News

[p]As many of you know, I've been working on Redmatch 2 as a solo developer for the past 6 years since its itch.io release in 2019. This game has sparked such an amazing community and taken off way more than I ever could have anticipated. Thank you all for playing! It's been my favorite project to work on, and I can't wait to implement all the ideas I have left for it.[/p][p][/p][p]I've just released Supporter Edition, which is a great way to support me and my projects! There are a ton of new unique perks, including GIF skins, banners, a selfie stick, a custom name gradient, and more![/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]

[dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p][/p][p]A lot of players had issues with crashing while using the new Upload File feature for custom skins and banners due to the library I used to interact with the Windows file explorer. I've replaced it with a custom in-game file browser, so no more crashes should occur![/p][p][/p][h2]All Changes[/h2]

• [p]Added Supporter Edition.[/p]
• [p]Replaced the Windows file browser for custom image uploading with a custom in-game one.[/p]
• [p]Added PlayerDiedTrigger to the Custom Map whitelist.

1.41.4 (August 27)

• Nerfed the default Rifle damage from 34 to 30 to account for the previous movement buff.
  
• Fixed an issue where custom skins/banners over 2MB could not be uploaded.
  
• Custom image file uploads that are too large now give a proper error, instead of a generic server error.
  
• Team color on the scoreboard is now represented by background color instead of name color.
  
• The Knife no longer has 1 ammo, instead no ammo is displayed.
  
• If you attempt to create a custom skin but are banned, it will no longer always give the error "Creation already in progress. Please wait." for subsequent attempts.
  
• Custom image bans now tell you where to appeal (redmatchgame.com/account).
  
• Attempted to fix a rare issue where players could not see their own banners.
  

1.41.3 (August 20)

• Fixed a bug where having the same image as a custom skin and custom banner would cause the custom skin to not be able to be equipped.
  
• Fixed a bug where the Cat Tail Waist had a "Sell on Community Market" button.
  
• Added the /banners and /bannerurl commands.

1.41.2 (August 20)

1.41.1 (August 20)

• Added the /skins command.
  

Custom Skins in Redmatch 2 have always existed in a weird limbo of requiring you to use third party image hosting sites to upload your skins. In this update, I've completely reworked how Custom Skins and Banners work on the backend, and now skins will all use custom Redmatch 2 image hosting servers. When you launch the game, any existing custom skins and banners will be automatically converted to using the new system. You can now upload a Custom Skin from a file on your computer, or use a URL like before.



If a banner doesn't convert over, please let me know on Discord and I'll help you sort it out!

[p]The SMG is a high firerate, medium damage weapon. It excels at mid-range fighting, but is less effective at long distances due to the spread increase with sustained firing (tap fire at long range for best accuracy!). You can equip it in the new loadouts menu at level 15 or higher.[/p][p][/p][p]Base Stats[/p]

• [p]Pull out time: 0.4s[/p]
• [p]Firerate: 18.16/s[/p]
• [p]Reload time: 1s[/p]
• [p]Magazine size: 40[/p]
• [p]Damage: 16[/p]

[p]All of the stats are subject to change as I balance the gun with player feedback![/p][p][/p][p]To accommodate new weapons, loadouts have been added. Pick any 3 guns to use in a loadout! You can have as many loadouts as you want, and switch between them in the main menu or in the escape menu during a match.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]You guys had a lot of feedback about the new Enforcer Anti-Cheat that was created for Redmatch 2. We've removed it from the game for now while we look into performance issues and potentially Proton support. Thanks for your patience![/p][p][/p][h3]All Changes[/h3]
