Hello again sTUdfishes, we’re back with more exciting new content and fixes for you to enjoy.
##2 NEW CONDOS: UNDERWATER AND HIGHRISE!

##HIGHRISE CONDO

##IMPROVED CONDO LIGHT AND SURFACE EDITING
Before this update, you could only customize lights in the default Condo. Now with a revamped lighting system, you can edit lights in every Condo!
To use this new lighting system, simply open your inventory and look for glowing light symbols around the Condo. Right click on them and start editing! You’ll notice there’s a new light function feature which will let you set lights to pulsate or cycle through colors.
On top of that, we’ve overhauled the surface editor for when you customize walls and floors of your Condo. Surfaces now can be listed by material type (ie. brick, tile, carpet) and we’ve added Canvas support to surfaces so you can truly customize your abode.
##VOICE ISSUES RESOLVED FOR LOBBY AND CONDO
We had many reports of the voice system not working well in Lobby and Condo and this update should alleviate all voice related issues.
##ALCOHOLIC ITEMS WILL NOW MAKE YOU INEBRIATED
In past updates, there have been issues with alcoholic items not affecting clients. This is now resolved. We have plans to expand on this by adding vomiting and garbled drunk chat text in future updates.
##TESTING DESTRUCTIBLES: SUBWAY
We’re adding more feedback for environmental destruction in Virus. Subway is the first map to start using the environmental damaging systems. We hope to continue to expand on these new systems to other maps soon. You can now destroy the ticket machines and signs and shoot at smaller items as well.
