- Fixed the "Toggle Physics" button (o). Press it to turn an object into physics. Use the Physics Pick Up button (v) to pick things up & put them down. Don't forget to re-freeze them to save their spawn position.
- Removed malfunctioning gameplay timers from items.
- Removed obsolete tutorial video progress from the HUD.
- Added the ability to enable/disable the following HUD elements from the Arcade Options menu: High Scores, Controls, Item Details, Item Title, Arcade Details, Crosshair.
- Fixed the glow around selected objects. Enable/disable it from the Arcade Options menu.
- Added "Fast(er) Workshop Loading" to the Arcade Options menu. When enabled, it will load workshop items without taking the time to display status messages. This is faster, but the AArcade window will appear as if it is frozen while it loads workshop items.
- Added an alpha of a feature called Online Mode. It lets you see & eventually interact with other players even while using AArcade as your singleplayer desktop.
- Added an Online Mode options to the Options > Arcade Options menu. (Leave "Show Own Phantom" OFF! Or you won't see other people's zombies like you should.)
- Added a player count per-map of Online Mode players to the Main Menu.
NOTE:
VR mode is still broken until the Source SDK Base is updated to the newest engine branch.
Online Mode (ALPHA FEATURE)
To bridge the gap between the many members of the AArcade community, today's update introduces a new feature called Online Mode. If you want to try it out, go to the Main Menu > Options > Arcade Options and turn on Online Mode.
Online Mode will sync the name of the map you are in to a web server. It will also sync your current position and rotation to the web server.
This means that you'll be able to see other people walking around your maps, even in singleplayer mode!
Soon more interaction will be possible, but right now you'll just see other players in the map as zombie torsos. :)
There is a list of maps on the Main Menu now along with the player count in each of them. Using maps with more players is a higher chance of running into some zombie people.
The live online session is powered by Firebase and can also be viewed in Chrome at: http://www.anarcast.tv/spectate.html
Better spectating features will come in the future as well.
Advanced Users
If you've already configured AArcade to use advanced features such as Libretro sound, you will once again need to re-copy the libretro-enabled client.dll into your bin folder after this update.
This might be a very handy command to use as well:
obtain_cab trading_card; obtain_cab trading_card_big; obtain_cab trading_card_big_table; obtain_cab trading_card_table;
