3.5 is now out! It's got these features & fixes:
Replay GIFS
Using the Moments plugin, the game can now capture 4-second GIF highlight reels.
Here is a guide explaining everything in detail, but the short story is: Pick a Replay Quality setting in video options, do something awesome in-game, and hit F5 to get a GIF you can tweet or post to the game's Artwork section!
Bot Decals
I introduced a new cosmetic category - Decals. These were chosen from the Workshop decal section. Note: this first batch was commissioned specifically, but players can create and submit their own decals as well for future updates.
Decals will drop randomly just like crafting components, although more rarely. You can equip them in the Profile / Customize panel and they will show up on the back of your bot. You can also trade them with other players, sell them on the community market, or craft them into a random Advanced crafting part (circuit, piston, battery, motor, spark plug).
At some point I am hoping to create a decal collecting system, so you may want to hang on to them for a bit until I figure out exactly what I'm going to do there.
Other Stuff
- Added separate video prefs for volumetric lights & laser lights
- Fixed arcade bots getting bumped out of spawn and clustering for same target ball
- Option to disable Clan decal downloading, may be causing timeoutDisconnects
- Fixed rainbow ball trail not having icon showing
- Fixed cosmetic items not showing their name in garage or crafting panels
- Fixed visualizer and windowed mode starting with blank preference labels
- Increased default score limit for random mode Team Deathmatch, increased for random mode FFA deathmatch
- When you craft an inventory item, will unequip it if it's the last one of that type you own
- Fixed game launching in fullscreen on first startup, even though default pref state is windowed
Please Note Your player prefs will be reset as part of this update because I had to move their location and wasn't able to migrate them. Your stats, XP, items, and achievements are safe. However your sensitivity settings, video settings and customization changes will be reset to defaults. So you will need to go back into those and re-configure to your liking. Sorry about the hassle!
