General Nitpicking Thread

On highrise, if you get rid of the ceiling lights, a tiny piss-coloured stain stays where the light once was, even if the room’s lights are turned off.

the resort condos lights are permanently on in the majority of the rooms, including the theater. In some you can’t even block them out.

Moderating public condo visitors is a pain

Abusive public condo visitors just straight up gatecrash your condo, often in small groups/bursts, all arriving at around the same time, just to run amok. This gives rise to the following problems…

Problem A: Media players are a common attack vector

Unless you (the host) pre-load a video, and hit pause on the playback; public condo visitors without any intervention or control can:-

  • Add NSFW/Pornographic videos in .webm format to the playlist, necessitating that the host mark their condo as +18/NSFW.
  • Blanket add any (including potentially abusive) videos to the playlist, and without the host’s or condo admin’s permission and/or knowledge.

This can be countered by:

  • Pre-loading a video, and hitting pause on the initial playback.
  • Locking media players down on a per-player basis by switching them to playlist mode.

However, these are not elegant solutions, and I do feel like a more substantial means to control media player use (and abuse) are needed, such as toggles to block .webm playback and permissions to allow or deny the Add Media button on a per-media player basis.

Undesirable videos seemingly can not be removed from the playlist without first skipping through the ones before it.

Problem B: Condo IO buttons/levers are missing a setting to block usage from non-admins

If I have a custom tooled room mood/tone lighting setup or a minigame, I preferably would not to have like everyone being able to mash/spam the buttons that they are connected to

This can be countered by blocking out buttons and levers with invisible canvas cubes, but this is not an elegant solution once more.

Problem C: Bans against abusive players while hosting do not persist

You can ban abusive players while in the middle of hosting, however the reason and duration for the ban doesn’t appear to be saved in the TowerBans.ini file at the time of doing so, therefore if you were to quit and rehost those who you thought were banned would be able to rejoin? This makes no sense…

This necessitates quitting out of condo hosting and manually adding the Steam64IDs to the bottom of the file, which again isn’t an elegant solution.

Conculsion

Asides from the existing permissions and rules, Being able to moderate and control what public condo visitors can and can not do still leaves a lot to be desired.

The existing rules are already pretty limited in what they can do. These need to be expanded to include IO, morphs, vehicles, media players, etc.

IO buttons and levers should be at least governed by the global Switch Use rule and the per-player basis permission.

I agree about the media player issues. I’ve been wanting to add permission settings on a per media player basis. I also believe webm should be restricted to only players who have media admin support.

I’ve been working on a retooling of the interactive settings, allowing you to change interactive permissions per item. This way you can set specific levers to require permission to use.

The ban system for condos should be saving bans. It doesn’t save ban reasons though, but the rest should be functional. I’ll look into it immediately. I haven’t heard anyone say this feature was broken.

The score screens on The Ultimate Cow Wheel are red, but turn green when you have played on them.

Paper Lantern Werewolf does not have an option to toggle it’s light like other light sources for Connections. Only the color of the prop.

The message dispalyed on the unit payout toast when scoring over Double Bogey in Minigolf is a little belittling, no?

It doesn’t cost anything to respect a player’s intelligence

Either it’s a typo given the promixity of the I and the U keys on a standard QWERTY keyboard, or there has been a poor choice of font used on the MG Sweet Tooth signage

What it’s supposed to say: Twist, Turn, Climb
How it reads: Twist, Turn, Clumb

It can also be image manipulated to spell out something else entirely but I will not share that here

New update seems to have updated the talk dialog for store NPCs, which also happened to make a few of the NPC icons get cut off.

Also, on the topic of NPC dialog, minor typo in Vox’s dialogue (Events → Event’s)

Franky also seems to be missing dialogue for events, which makes the on entered dialogue just blank.

The seats in the Lazy River House in the Plaza are inverted, making your avatar look the wrong way and turning accessories inside out.
TVs in both beach houses also freeze and don’t play properly unless you’re positioned very close to it (not sitting on the couch)
the baked shadows in both houses are also pretty bad and make the sectional couch and dance floor look super crusty

I bought the Supporter Pack today to support the game. So I got the speed shoe supporter, and I’ll showcase the supporter trophy later. I didn’t received the supporter name tag right next to mine after I bought it, but someone in the official US east server(s) did.

I’m having the same issue, actually. Shows my Patron tag, but not Supporter (as of last log-in, at least)

You have to restart the game to make the name tage appear
