Changes

  • https://trello.com/c/L74Y5tr6/466-upgrading-to-unreal-419-420
  • https://trello.com/c/33IkTIK4/474-map-minigolf-island
  • Minigolf: Waterhole lighting and artwork improved
  • New player name tags for Plaza (easier to find players with these). You can toggle them off in the settings
  • New text chat & AFK symbols
  • Weapon reload circle is now displayed as a ring instead of a full circle (so it doesn't block vision as much)
  • Updated hot bar look by adding icons for each category (also added vehicle tab)
  • Swimming movement was improved, players are no longer buoyant always (when submerged the buoyancy effects are removed)
  • Camera item now properly hides HUD elements and player name tags completely when equipped. Also the flash only happens for other players, not the player who is taking the shot (which prevents the flash from getting in the screenshot)
  • Added achievements for Knightsend-by-sea
  • Gameplay settings were split up into tabs for easier discovery
  • Graphics settings now automatically apply (if there's pending changes) when the pause menu is closed (or by escape key)
  • Minigolf: Added a new UI during customization state (before the first hole starts) that shows which players are currently customizing and which are done customizing
  • Added the ability to change color of use key prompt
  • New text hat style (with option to revert to old text hat)
  • Condo inventory improvements: Items can now be aligned onto objects in a more deterministic fashion. Before, the item previews would jitter and change orientation when dragging across differently oriented surfaces. Now, the item orientation is determined from the surface angle directly, so no more sporadic/slight differences in orientation when you drag an item across different surfaces

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed canvas surface crash
  • Fixed a bug where sometimes players could enter the Laser Tag arena even if they aren't playing Laser Tag
  • Improved collision reliability on throwable weapons in Plaza (mainly the eggs)
  • Fixed an issue where chat would remain open when entering a piano (with high ping)

  • Fixed various typos
  • Fixed canvas surface colors not saving properly

  • Minigolf: Reduced delays in network related events which improve delays when hitting the ball and pocketing the ball
  • Bowling: Adjusting spin no longer increases faster if you have a higher framerate
  • Bowling: Recoded Bowling player animation system to resolve issues with workshop models being respawned, player colors not being set properly, and player hats floating on the lanes or in the seats, and various other major bugs. Recode also fixes name tags and stutters when a player goes to roll
  • Improved Minigolf and Ball Race physics
  • Improved Bowling physics/netcode
  • Fixed door in Theater condo
  • Minigolf - Treasure Cove: Hole 11 curved section after the first cannon is now done with splines, which fixes major issues with the hole
  • Minigolf - Treasure Cove: Hole 2 rocks now have collision
  • Minigolf - Treasure Cove: Hole 8 cannon now has collision
  • Minigolf - Treasure Cove: Hole 13 HIO is more reliable
  • Minigolf: Fixed players who late join a game during customization not able to see customization menu or the overview camera
