Rec Room PATCH - the "All That and a Bag of Chips" edition

[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]

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.

[h2]New Home[/h2]
Some of you with iPhones will start to notice something new when you first launch the app. This is what we are calling "Home," our new launch experience. Home was created to load quickly into Rec Room and brings in what you already love about Rec.Net. You can scroll the feed, comment on photos, discover rooms, and chat with friends, all with the core Rec Room experience being a tap away.

Fast links to purchase more outfit slots with RR+ or additional outfit items in the store.

Rec Room PATCH - the "All That and a Bag of Chips" edition

[h2]Equals Node V2 - Value Equals[/h2]

Added a new version of the
```
Equals
```
chip in beta.
The new version supports up to 64 inputs, and short-circuits once it finds an input that isn't equal to the others. So if the first two values are different, you won't pay the heat cost for the other 62!
It also checks for value equality when comparing lists. That means that two lists will be considered equal if each of their corresponding elements are equal. One more way in which lists are now slightly less weird!
It also also has a fix for a bug where casting a value to
```
Rec Room Object
```
and then comparing it with the original value would return
```
false
```
. That didn't make any sense, so we made it make sense.
It also also also has a fix for a bug where if you compared a "Rec Room color" with the exact same color from the custom color picker, it would return
```
false
```
. The new version understands that the same colors are the same.

[h2]CircuitsV2 chips for Player Interactions[/h2]

Added a beta Circuits feature that lets you interact with other players!
You can now interact with players in a similar way as doors, buttons, and items in Rec Room!
Use the "Player Enable Interaction Locally" and "Player Disable Interaction Locally" chips to turn this on and off for players in a room, and configure how those interactions should work.
Use the "Event Receiver" chip inside a Player Definition Board to see when a player has interacted with someone!

[h2]Other Circuits Changes[/h2]

Background Objects Constant filter path corrected to "Circuits\Constant\"
Fog Constant filter path corrected to "Circuits\Constant\"
Skydome Constant filter path corrected to "Circuits\Constant\"
Sun Constant filter path corrected to "Circuits\Constant\"
Added new chip 'Get Local Camera Position'.
Added new chips 'Player Get Body Position', 'Player Get Body Orientation'.
Added new chips 'Player Is Mod', 'Player Is Host.'
Added
```
LerpUnclamped
```
and
```
InverseLerpUnclamped
```
chips (beta).
Fixed a bug that caused the Audio Player Get Audio chip to return an invalid audio clip.
Fixed a bug with
```
InverseLerp
```
with
```
Color
```
or
```
Vector3
```
- if the start and end values are the same, the result will now always be 0. This matches the behavior when using it with
```
float
```
.
Fixed an issue where control panels for objects would sometimes very slowly drift away from where they were when not selected.
Fixed a bug where object boards from unselected objects would sometimes come along for the ride when cloning/copying/making an invention. Beware of hitchhiking ghosts!
Deprecated and replaced the
```
To String
```
chip. The new version "properly" wraps "strings" in "quotes" when they're inside of "lists" and "tuples."

[h2]In-Room Economy Improvements[/h2]

Added the 'Award Room Key' and 'Award Consumable' chips. These give users a Key/Consumables without needing to purchase. This also enables you to bundle your Keys/Currencies/Consumables with a single purchase.
Added 'Show Purchase Prompt' chip. This pulls up the details page of a Key or Consumable on the watch. Now you can use Buttons, Interaction Volumes, etc. for purchasing Keys/Consumables.
To use these chips, make sure you have Creator Beta Tools enabled for the room.
The 'Add Currency' chip has been renamed to 'Award Currency'
Lastly, Creators and Co-Owners can now set their own Room Currency balance for debugging/testing. You can locate this on the Room Currencies page in the Room Settings.

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

Fixed a bug for Gamepad triggers requiring a full press to do certain actions.
Fixed a bug causing friend codes to not add the other player as a friend when submitted.
No longer showing maker pen tool handles if the object is frozen.
Non-selectable objects now block maker pen tools, avoiding the possibility of deleting or selecting objects that are hidden from view behind a non-selectable object.
Fixed a bug where CV1 Spawners would sometimes stop working after being cloned or put into an invention. (Unfortunately, any already-broken inventions will stay that way - sorry!)

[h2]Rec Room Studio[/h2]

When you stare into the void, it no longer stares into you. We fixed a bug with uploads failing when a skybox material isn't set.
RRS objects now displays the bounds properly and keeps the collision after a reset.
Upgraded the version of Universal Render Pipeline that Rec Room Studio shaders use to URP 10
