Minigolf: Haven
We’ve released a new minigolf map, Minigolf: Haven! Putt through a scenic oasis of curvy courses with plenty of obstacles and ramps! Test your hole-in-one skills with plenty of tricky hole-in-one opportunities on this map.
Mediaplayer Fullscreen Mode
As requested by our players, Media players can now be played in full screen mode! Activate full screen mode by selecting the full screen button on the bottom right of the media queue. Chat is still displayed in full screen mode.
We will be adding full screen mode for Libretro in a future update!
Desert Weekend!
To celebrate Minigolf: Haven’s release, we’re holding a Desert Weekend event with a 1.5x unit bonus for desert-themed maps. This includes Minigolf: Haven, Virus: Desertion, and Ball Race: Oasis.
SDK Changes and Improvements
In this update, we've fixed several SDK issues and added new features for level creators to use in their maps. Virus survivors now have health which can be adjusted by Damage Volumes, there's a new “Weapon Strip Volume” which will let you take weapons from players, there's a new Game Type for SDNL called “Team Last Man Standing” which can be used for team-based maps involving traps, and interactions with traps/trigger volumes now have been expanded and fixed for all the Game Worlds that support SDK right now.
The play test mode also now has a way to swap Game Types for SDNL - so you can see how the CTF flags work when testing your map before uploading.
