New Update Featuring Routing! (Build 0049)

Hi folks, this update features Routing! Routing allows you to define areas where your staff should focus on, ideally making them more efficient. Routing took some time to finish but will be very useful in future updates, including security staff than can patrol the halls for delinquent students.

We apologize if this update isn't quite as meaty as you might have hoped. We are actively looking to hire staff locally (IRL, not in the game!) to help Marnel program the game and get more updates and features out to you much faster.

Features:

- Janitor Routing - players can now set the routes janitors will take. Janitor routing can be accessed through the routing button, and selecting janitor routing. Janitors will follow the path, and clean dirt and trash within their range of vision. Here is a quick explanation of how it works:

Creating Routes - There are two kinds of routes, U-turn:

and Circuit:

Completing a route - To complete a route either click on the complete route button or click on either the FIRST or LAST waypoint to create either a circuit or a U-turn route, based on context.

Editing Routes:

Deleting Routes:

Bugs Fixed:

- Checkbox should not appear for mods which have not yet been downloaded. (fixed by having a checkbox only appear once the mod is downloaded)

- Zone edit no longer highlight zone colors. (fixed by having zones highlight in their colors when in zone edit mod)
- Student still come after starting a new game(transferees). (fixed by not applying settings in transferees panel from a previous game)
- Firing a worker before they build an object and no worker will take over the task. (fixed by having a new worked assigned to the task)
- Staff move behind mounted clocks. (fixed by having staff rendered above mounted clocks)

Miscellaneous:

- Day/Night Cycle - The screen will now get darker as time progresses into the later parts of the day.
- Added Double doors
- More women special teachers!
- Common Area - The club zone is now called the common area.
- Update button for subscribed mods - Subscribed mods will have an update button if there are any updates to the mod.

Important: If you have made a mod that changed the characters in the game, please update your mod to include the new teachers in the characters.png file.
