RoadVR 0.4.0 — Play Update changelog

Added5

Character Studio: build the character other players see. Start from a preset or shape your own: skin, eyes, hair, beard, glasses, earrings, headphones, three outfits with their own colours, and sliders for height, build, face width, eye spacing and nose. The preview is the real 3D model — drag to rotate, scroll to zoom, switch between full body and face, and watch it stand, walk or swing. Save look writes to the current framework character; Reset changes returns to the last saved state. Open it from the launcher or from Minigolf's welcome screen. The roadvr_characters table is created on resource start.
Minigolf: twelve holes for up to six players in a private room with a six-letter code. The course opens full size in first person: walk with WASD, aim with the mouse, hold and release to putt, and press F to return behind your ball. Everyone watches the same authoritative ball path, then the next player takes their turn. The first six holes each add an obstacle the ball passes through — a tunnel through a hill, a jump over a creek, a turnstile, a bridge to roll over or under, a half-pipe and a loop — and the next six add raised landings, side slopes, double crests and rotating gates. The ball has height: it flies off ramps, lands with a small bounce, rolls on decks and follows tubes and loops, and water returns it to where the stroke started. Add a demo player to practise alone. New Config.Minigolf block with maxPlayers, maxStrokes, turnSeconds, lobbyMinutes and holeSelect.
Chess: a private room with a six-letter code, against a friend or the computer at Beginner, Club player or Strong. The host lays a 3D board down on a table, a counter, a car roof or the ground; everyone who joins sees it at that spot in the world and walks up to play. The board is lit by the in-game clock and weather — white at noon, dim and blue at night, glossy in the rain. The window keeps the familiar side: time controls from one minute to thirty with or without increment (or no clock), a move list, captured pieces, draw offers, resignation and rematches with swapped colours. The rules and the engine live in Lua and the server validates every move. A headset that comes off keeps the seat for Config.Chess.awayMinutes while the clocks run, and the camera-switch key is locked during a game. New Config.Chess block.
Arrange the home screen: hold an app, or press Edit, and drag apps into your own order across pages. The arrangement is saved per character; Reset order returns to favorites first, then recent apps.
Icon styles: a new App icons tab in Settings with RoadPhone's icon packs — Studio, Outline and Monochrome — redrawn for every built-in app, plus round or square icons and the glass effect on or off. Apps from other resources keep their own icons.

Improved4

Minigolf has sound: the putt, the ball rolling, bounces, the cup, water and birds in the park, synthesised in the interface without shipping audio files. They follow the camera, so a shot across the green is quieter than your own.
The putter now swings the moment you release the button instead of waiting for the server's answer, which removes the small hitch after every stroke.
The loop is rebuilt as a smooth steel channel hanging from a frame, and the park around every hole has hills, broadleaf trees and conifers, shrubs, meadow grass and wild flowers.
Less work while nothing moves: the interface stops asking for frames when the picture is unchanged and wakes on camera, window, widget and settings changes; camera messages are sent when something actually moved; the Clock's display timer runs only during a run; hidden decorations pause their animations. Rendering quality, input rates and animation speeds are unchanged.

Fixed4

A ball can only be putted from its own level. Standing on the apron below a raised hole no longer reaches it.
The half-pipe's divider now runs the whole length of its hole, so the chute is the only way to the cup side.
The headset can no longer be taken off by accident while a minigolf course or its score menu is open. Death, vehicles and third person still remove it.
A brief stutter no longer throws a player out of the course and into the score menu.

Updating5

Replace client, server, shared files and the built NUI together, then restart RoadVR.
Merge the new Config.Minigolf and Config.Chess blocks into your config.lua. Missing keys fall back to the shipped defaults.
The roadvr_characters table is created automatically on resource start.
Minigolf and Chess place objects in the world and are on Config.Environments.blockedApps, like every app that does.
Local checks and browser reviews do not replace an in-game test with two clients.
