Things Rec Room Should add.

[worthy grotto]

I have SO many ideas and I want to make them public so here they are.

Adding to existing things:

• "Unlit transparent" material for the textured quad.
• Synced/Cloud list variables.
• Undo button for canvass
• More default projectile/vfx options
• More audio in the sfx, music, and ambiance chips.
• Text screen get text (chip)
• Fonts on the Text and Text 2D components.
• An "emoji" button on the VR keyboard.
• The ability to convert a texture to string for custom characters / emojis.
• The ability to manipulate a canvas and have the image stay in place.
• The ability to scale the position of objects but not size. (Make selected objects move like they're being scaled together but not change size)
• The ability to put an image on the clothing costomizer by dragging and dropping from your photo gallery.
• Global explosion hit object event (from "Beau")

Original Ideas:

• Get RecNet image by name (chip)
• Ability to import 3D models, audio files, and (maybe) images to rooms using Rec.net (if you can't use rrs) Probably would be locked behind a form like the desktop share tools.
• Upload RecNet image to canvas (chip)
• A chip that lets you make a partical system or prjectile in game. (Not just the presents)
• "Mesh" shape and "texture paint" tool to make 3D models fully in game. It would let you edit it like tubes and move vertices like nodes. The select tool would let you create/extrude faces and vertices.
• Name fonts like on discord. (From "Pickle")
• A chip that gives a player a prompt to download a .txt file with any string. (Downloading your save)
• A chip that lets a player input a .txt file to be put in game as a string. (Opening save file)
• Copy and paste buttons on the VR keyboard like in VR chat.

Any more ideas I have will be added to this post. If someone else has a good idea I'll add it with credit.

Won't let me edit it but I forgot to say that the ability to import things with rec.net would probably be locked behind a form like the desktop share tools or something similar.

an undo on the canvas would be AMAZING

they should add name fonts for rr+, like how discord just added new fonts too

the name tags are HUGE on recroom compared to other names, new fonts would be sick

[worthy grotto]

Or maybe fonts for the text components? That's another thing I've been thinking about- (thought of doing that when I had rrs but then my computer broke)

yesss

[harsh helm]

A new RRO

[worthy grotto]

I meant feature wise but tbh yeah that to lol

You can upload images to quads already, which is the closest we would likely get to canvases

Now that I think about it I could probably make a simple template system for that

[worthy grotto]

There's already a room someone made that adds a layer system to a canvas if that's what you're talking about. Also the purpose of the Upload RecNet image to canvas chip idea is to not only print pictures so they don't need to be setup for everyone like with the textured quad, but also to be able to edit the photo using the markers and erasers. I would much rather make an in-game model, take a picture of it, and erase the background for my 2D sprites than draw one from scratch every time. Personal opinion though.

Also maybe it could be "Upload texture to canvas" instead so you can have other ways to get the image to print.

An emoji section to the vr keyboard so people on vr can use emojis in places other than room chat and dms.

The ability to put a texture in a to string chip for custom characters and emojis.

[worthy grotto]

Updated the post to add the two above this and the idea suggested in the reply.

[worthy grotto]

The ability to scale the position of objects.

Rec room should add the ability to export save files to your device and upload them back into the fame using chips. Probably should have a prompt before downloading and rec room would have some sort of custom file that somehow prevents turning it into a virus or smth. I have a game that this would be REALLY useful for bc it gets updates often so this would let people update their file before using it.

[harsh helm]

I feel like some scripter would find a vulnerability for that and probably give your device Ebola or something

[worthy grotto]

That's the point of the custom file type. Plus, .txt files can't run scripts. All they do is save data. Unless someone is stupid enough to change the file type-

"Global Explosion Hit Rec Room Object" event in the event reciever

[hallow flame]

classic body

[worthy grotto]

Add. Not re-add. I don't want that drama of "oh classic bean was better!" "Full body sucks" in here. You can fight about that in the posts about that. (There's a lot.)

[worthy grotto]

Amazing idea. Adding it to the list.

[worthy grotto]

Copy and paste buttons to the VR keyboard.

[worthy grotto]

So apparently I ran out of space to type in the original post...

Anyway-

• Transparent texture that uses a separate slider to change opacity.
• Glowing texture that uses a separate slider for emission intensity.
• Galaxy texture.
• More cloth/fabric textures.

my fault.. 😶

Ability to cross play with people that play only the Nintendo switch version

[worthy grotto]

That's a Nintendo issue. I FULLY agree that they should have some way to let us play together but Nintendo won't let Rec Room push out updates more than every month.

[dry rover]

It’s been 3 or 4 months since the last switch update 😭

[worthy grotto]

OOP-

[dry rover]

It’s so annoying seeing the games I play get updates that I can’t play until rec room itself updates

And really cool updates at that

[worthy grotto]

Fr

Does switch even have the textured quad yet? Im so sorry you have to deal with that-

[dry rover]

The what?

No clue what that is

[worthy grotto]

It's a flat square that you can put images on. I'm assuming you don't have it yet.

[dry rover]

When was it added?

[dry rover]

Yeah switch update was before that
