Oct. 20, 2022

Aug. 1 - Sept. 2, 2022

Additions:
- Added a holdable combo sign (features a game and the player’s donation products).
- Added @username below the player display name on booths (to help prevent impersonation).
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed an issue where players could not play games being featured on holdable signs.
- When a booth owner plays their own game, the play is now reported to the live feed.
- If a booth features a game with no icon and the owner leaves, the booth is now unclaimed after 30 seconds (immediately unclaimed previously).
- Rewrote the text filtering system to use the first available player to filter text for users not in the game (e.g. for a booth loaded from persistent data).
- Rewrote the booth claim handler to ensure there are always 2 booths available / being unclaimed.
- Rewrote the gamepad selection box handling logic.
- Now using the PLS PLAY game icon on the “Recent Donations” live feed when users donates to the game.
- Changed the “Visits Received” logic to increment the visit once the playing user has left the game. Previously incremented “Visits Received”, then decremented “Visits Received” if the teleport failed.

May 1-7, 2022

Additions:
- Added holdable signs (game and donation). Users can rent a sign for 2 days or 8 days, or the sign can be permanently purchased.
- Classic avatar items (i.e. T-Shirts, Shirts, Pants) now automatically load when a user joins the game.
- Added a GUI to allow users to select a game from their profile, favorites, or groups to feature on their booth.
- Improved gamepad controls
- Added text on an Xbox user’s booth to indicate that they are an Xbox user and cannot chat.
- In the GUI which opens when a user clicks / taps on a featured game, added text indicating the relationship of a user to the game (e.g. Creator, Fan, etc.)
- Clicking the booth location marker will teleport the user to their booth.
- Added the MerchBooth developer module.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed an issue with delayed or prevented donation notifications from appearing after a donation.
- Improved purchased product price checking on the server to attempt to ensure that leaderboards are accurate.
- Misc error and bug fixes

May 8 - July 31, 2022

Additions:
- Added particle effects to the player and booth when a donation occurs
- Added a sprint toggle / button
- Changed to only save booth data to persistent data (used to load booths when a server starts) if the booth is featuring a game and the game has an icon
- Changed the “play” system to only record a “play” if the user played the game that they joined for 60 seconds or more. Added a text label in the game kiosk GUI to indicate this.
- Increased maximum items that can be loaded per minute from 5 to 15.
Bug Fixes:
- Attempted to fix a bug where no booths were available despite the server being only partially full. Increased the available booth count to 2 at any given time for non-full servers to also attempt to prevent this from happening.
- Fixed issue that caused an error in the TopbarPlus module
- Fixed issue where a failed teleport still incremented a user’s “plays” count
- Misc error and bug fixes
