BUILD 3959 IS LIVE

We also released a minor update to the Revamped Reality update, build 3959. It includes several bug fixes and some features to help with Survive the Editor, but the coolest feature in my opinion is that driving on curved roads is much smoother. Try it out and let us know what you think! New Features

• Added VirusPilar003 to the Level Editor (Obstacles/Infected)
• Added special server commands (e.g. /startvote, /kick, etc.)
  • The host can type these into the chat window
  • /startvote starts a voting session where players can vote "+" or "-"
  • /endvote tallies the results and displays them
  • /timelimit is used to set Reverse Tag time limit in seconds (e.g. /timelimit 300)
  • /list lists all players along with their user IDs
  • /kick kicks a player from the server by username or ID (e.g. /kick 2 or /kick torcht)
  • /finishall ends a Reverse Tag match for all players

Modifications

• Reduced bumpiness when driving along curved tracks
• Adjusted crash speeds that cause death
• Added lower crash death speed for many obstacles
• Improved depth of field settings in car color customization menu
• Now the results properly display whether or not players were spectators or joined late

Bugs Fixed

• Fixed bug where the existence of a GravityTrigger would break cause the Reverse Tag arrow to not appear
• Fixed width of Customize Car button in Game Lobby to make sure it doesn't clip off
• Fixed bug where if someone entered spectate mode in Reverse Tag while being it the bubble would stay where they finished, now the bubble goes to the last place player
• Fixed bug where if the host in Reverse Tag spectated the next person who got the bubble would end the match instantly
• Fixed bugs with how the standings text when playing online multiplayer handled players spectating, before they would still be in the list now only currently playing players are displayed
• Fixed bugs with how the standings text when playing online multiplayer handled players spectating, before they would still be in the list now only currently playing players are displayed
