Winter 2025 Plaza Update
Adjusted the smoothie store entrance to have a scale that is larger and doesn't feel like you're going to bonk your head on it in VR.
The back plaza area behind the casino now has proper snow trails for the winter plaza.
Theater Condo Art & Editing Update
An art pass to the concessions counters, screens, and canopy sign
You can now edit the concessions sign and toggle off and on various aspects of it.
The concessions menus now have a default texture displaying a generic menu when not overridden by a Canvas.
You can now edit the theaters themselves! Every surface, railing, and chairs can now be fully edited and customized.
An art pass to the theater rooms, adding Surface customization, toggle-able lights, and projection rooms (unfurnished).
Handrails, curtains, seats, and speakers can now be toggled on or off.
An art pass to the seats, which carry over to their item equivalents
There are new animated “now playing” tickers above each theater entrance. These are available as an item as well. Using a persistent IO connection to a Media Player, this item can display the video title of what’s currently playing. The Theater Condo art pass will include a unique version of this for each viewing room, built into the hallway outside.
Other fixes and changes include:
Updated the theater screen and projector lights so they only turn on when Media Dynamic Lights is enabled.
Longstanding errors with the normal maps on the pre-built light switches were fixed.
The built-in Theater doors can now optionally take you back to the Condo Hub.
