Patch 0.1.17 (Create Your Marble)

Hey everyone!

Today's patch introduces the Marble Creation System, a system where you can color marbles based off of templates and edit other values as well! In addition spawners got a slight rework with more options, more on that down below.

[h2]Marble Creation System[/h2]

In the revamped main menu you'll find a new button to go to the creation section. In here you'll find all your previously made marbles and the editor for the new type of marbles which can be customized. We'll call this list the master list, which will be used in combination with spawners.

When swapping from standard skin to custom skin at the top right a new set of buttons and a dropdown menu will appear. Using the dropdown you can select a template which you can edit, currently there are 18 templates available with more to come in the future!

Every template exists of editable sections, the majority of them out of 2. Every section has properties that can be edited. These are usually color, smoothness, metallic and glow. Some templates have sections that consist of less properties as they're not always applicable.

There's also a randomize button available which randomizes the template and all its section values if you need some inspiration.



[h2]Updated Spawners[/h2]

Previously spawners had some differences between them, where some where useful for racing and others just for spawning marbles. With the new patch all spawners are equal and will have the same configuration UI.

Previously standard spawners used only the name of custom marbles and racing spawners used the full custom marble skin + effect + name when spawning. Every spawner also used the global list which led to poor customization in terms of which spawner should spawn what.

All spawners now have their own list of custom marbles to spawn and some additional settings regarding behavior of how to spawn them. You can select which custom marbles to copy from the master list into each spawner seperately.

These settings and the list of custom marbles in the spawner now persist when uploading your world or prefabbing the spawner, meaning that you can create very specific spawners for specific theme's if you'd like and upload or download those.

In addition, the custom skins from your master list are available through the skin selecting panel in the spawner and the panel when selecting a singular marble. Only your custom skins will appear there, not any which are included in downloaded spawners.



[h2]Patch Notes[/h2]

The notes for 0.1.17:
- Added the Marble Creation System, which can be used to create custom marbles from templates.
- Revamped main menu.
- Spawners are now uniform in terms of functionality and UI.
- Spawners now have their own list of custom marbles to spawn.
- Spawners' custom marbles list persists when uploading the World or uploading the prefab.
- Updated parts of the UI for wide and super-wide monitor scaling. This will be an ongoing process.
- Removed the race requirement of needing 1 custom marble.

[h2]Upcoming content[/h2]

Next week it's time for the Twitch integration! A custom panel is planned where the streamer can configure the behavior of spawning marbles when viewers interact using commands. And I'm also looking into special content for people who subscribe or donate! In addition to that more content is on its way as well.
