Eleven Table Tennis News

Hello All,

Sorry for the update delays, but we are getting back into rhythm. We are still working towards PSVR, but that is taking a lot longer and we don't want users to wait. Some changes just released:

1. Practice Launcher. Set it up, move it around, save it, share with friends. You now have access to a ball launcher and a virtual tablet to control it. It's very new, so feel free to provide suggestions/comments. We have included a handleful of presets to get you going. The files are stored here: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Eleven Table Tennis VR\\Assets\PracticeModePresets". If you want to change/copy/paste/share, etc, just keep in mind that the filenames must be "preset1.txt" to "preset24.txt". The number determines where on the grid the preset will appear. You select from the grid using the selection circle attached to your controller and the trigger button. You can drag the vr tablet around by grabbing its handle.
   The Practice Launcher is under the MiniGames menu item.
   
2. Bug where ball disappears over the net: fixed.
   
3. Bug where the AI forgets to serve: fixed.
   
4. Bug where the Waves minigame launches the ball into the net, and never launches again: fixed.
   

Update: as per user request, have added speed and angle spread sliders. Also, reduced total ball count to 3 non active balls.

Today we set in motion a tiny patch:

- remove a watermark inapropriatley apearing in the bottom right corner of the desktop game window
- activate developer analytics to more easily collect user crash reports and engagement

A challenge we are facing with masks is we want people to choose their own masks over multiplayer, not chose to see your opponents with whatever masks you want locally. We are however going to revamp the multiplayer system for cross platform and so the masks update took a backseat.

But as a small compromise because the scary mask seems to really upset some peope we are pushing a patch now to replace the rabbit with something more acceptable to all ages. This mask will also be used in replays to replace the old white floating orb.





We have also included a fix for a major game breaking bug with frozen physics and animation that was ocuring for some users after a windows update broke their c++ redistributable.




Finally, we know the wait has been long. So we are re-balancing the development priorities from our intense focus on cross platform to ship more regular small content updates. Here is a preview of the towers mode, practice mode, and the desert envrionment that will be in some of the next patches!

Users were reporting errors with being spawned on the wrong side of the table and settings not being saved for some paddle parameters we have made the following fixes:

- correct table spawning logic reinstated.
- corrected saving of paddle speed paramter that potentialy caused other settigns to not save correctly
