Rec Room News

[h2]Circuits Changes[/h2]

• Added a bunch of new chips in beta:
• Player Head chips:

  Player Head Position

  ,

  Player Head Rotation

  ,

  Player Head Forward Direction

  ,

  Player Head Up Direction

  ,

  Player Head Velocity

  ,

  Player Head Height

• Player gaze chips:

  Local Player Gaze Origin

  ,

  Local Player Gaze Direction

• Player Get Seat

  - This chip will return the seat a player is in if said seat is a maker pen object. This chip does not work with vehicle seats.
  
• 
  Chip port selection should now be more reliable. (We think we fixed it! Please tell us if ports are still being weird.)
  
• Decreased the volume of circuit error SFX. It could be argued that getting jump-scared whenever you get an error is a good way to train yourself to not make mistakes. On the other hand, it could be argued that... not that.
• Fixed a bug where some Circuits math chips would continue to compute as though additional input ports were there, even after they had been removed. Math does not believe in ghosts.

• Player Radio Channel

  Chip change: the thresholds when radio effects kick in/go away now account for the voice rolloff settings for the player in the room.
• Deprecated and replaced the

  Distance

  chip, as well as the

  Player Get Position/Rotation/Velocity

  chips. They are now based on the player's "root," in order to be consistent with their setters.

[h2]General Improvements and Bug Fixes[/h2]

• All players, including non-RR+ members, can now create room keys and currencies! (You'll still need RR+ in order to set prices on keys and create currency packages.)
• Added a new voice roll-off option of 15.
• The respawn delay on objects can now be set as low as 0.1 seconds. We've also added an option to disable the respawn visual effect if you really hate those orange cubes.
• Added highlight to the clone tool.
• Fixed various skins that were missing some pieces.
• Fixed corruption of subtitle text in VR. (Hooray!)
• Fixed a small audio issue with the Room Chat send button.
• Fixed an issue where some PC players were experiencing inconsistent behavior with a surface snap.

[h2]Rec Room Studio[/h2]

• Deleted boards will no longer re-appear in the game. Use the right-click editor menu on the object Rec Room Studio -> Remake Object Board, to create the board again.

We love to hear your feedback, so please don't hesitate to let us know what you think.

[h2]General Improvements and Bug Fixes[/h2]

• Improved Copy + Paste in Rec Room Studio to make it harder to accidentally paste mixed selections of Studio and non-Studio objects in Unity, which does not copy the Maker Pen objects correctly.
• Added 'AddVectorTransform' and 'VectorInverseTransform' chips in beta.
• You can now search for any published custom shirt.
• Fixed a bug with the Rec Room Object Reset chip not resetting Studio Objects for all players
• Fixed the possibility of all audio breaking in Jumbotron, as well as any other rooms with Assassin Bots or Mouse Bots. The Mouse Bots are supposed to be stealthy, but not /that/ stealthy.
• Play Audio At Position chip (beta) now shows a CV2 error if trying to play an audio clip at a playback speed of 0.
• Fixed the room resets for Beacon & Particle Emitter V2.
• UI now appears correctly when disabling self-scaling at a non-default scale.

[h2]Rec Room Studio[/h2]

• Fixed several bugs that could cause 'Upload & Build' to fail silently.
• Screen Space Canvas HUDs are now supported on VR platforms
• Corrected an issue that could cause

  Permission Denied

  errors to appear rapidly in the console when opening a room for which the creator is a Temporary Co-owner.

Improved the Rec Room Studio user experience for opening room saves with better error messaging if opening a room fails for any reason.

• Fixed a bug that may prevent you from uploading your room while other creators are playing in the room.
• Using .dds & .texture2d files that contained compressed texture data would cause 'Upload & Build' to fail. Added a room error when one of these formats is used.
• Fixed vertex color for Rec Room Studio Lit shader.
• Disable detail support on

  Rec Room Studio/Lit

  shader until it can be supported by game..

[h2]General Improvements and Bug Fixes[/h2]

• Radial shortcut menu in ProUX mode won't stay open if a focus is attempted while it's open.
• Deprecated and replaced

  Greater Than

  ,

  Greater Or Equal

  ,

  Less Than

  , and

  Less Or Equal

  chips. The old versions treated very close float values as though they were equal. The new versions do not.
• Fixed the new

  Equals

  chip (beta) not understanding that

  Infinity

  is equal to

  Infinity

  . (Yes, not all infinities are the same size. No, we did not explain that to the

  Equals

  chip.)

Fixed a bug where using the Maker Pen to interact with full body costume dummy while another player is wearing the costume breaks the PiP for the costume-wearing player.

• Fixed bugs that caused the comment chip to not show its comment body, and to not update its color in some instances when a comment body had been set.
• Fixed an invalid password attempt resulting in the player having to press the back arrow more than once to get back to the switch account screen.
