Redmatch 2 News

Hello everyone! It's time for some quality of life and stability improvements, as well a new addition to Resource Packs.

Changes

• Upgrade Cabinets can now be changed through Resource Packs (upgrade_cabinet.png). See the UV map on the documentation here
• Added a video to the skin creation menu to help players avoid a common issue
  
• Made improvements to the news modal UI on the main menu
  
• Added more descriptive error messages when creating a custom skin
  
• Default match time has been changed from 3 minutes to 5 minutes
  
• Added a 4MB limit to custom skins
  
• Added more spawns to Arena
  
• Increased the list of websites that can be used for custom skins
  
• Max match size has been lowered to 30 (player disconnects start to happen with more than 30 players, which leads to a bad experience for everyone)
  
• Localization improvements
  

Bugfixes

• Popular Custom Maps now shows the top maps of the last week instead of all time (this was the original intention, but it was bugged)
  
• If a tooltip is visible when a map is loaded, it will no longer be stuck on screen
  
• The match info screen in the escape menu in-game no longer shows the improper player count
  
• The reset button on the color panel on Playground now works again

Redmatch 2 uses Steam for networking. After the Steam maintenance on March 26, it appears something was changed on Steam's side which caused players to encounter issues when joining matches bigger than about 8 players.

I've switched the entire networking backend out with a separate one and the issues seem to be resolved. Thank you all for your patience this past week! As always, you can report any issues you encounter on the Discord server at https://rugbug.net/discord and I'll do my best to resolve them.
