[Added] Audio feedback to screenshots in BotLab and Battle Mode.
[Added] Support for default Bots to be included, these will be installed to the UserRobots directory.

[Added] Telemetry now lists the name of a motor
[Added] Motor voltage: this is the voltage send out by the ESC to the motor: = lower when current limiting, = battery voltage using a solenoid
[Added] Battery current: This is the actual current being drawn by the motor from the battery, this is dependent on the battery voltage vs motor voltage (and lower then the ESC current!)
[Added] Tutorial in BotLab selection screen to guide players when no robots present.

[Added] Robot AI in BotLab will now target crates.

Due to complications, if you've already played the AUG28 build, the new arena/bots might not load for you.
They will be attached to this post.  You'll have to extract the 2 folders and place them roughly here-

Code: [Select]

%USERPROFILE%/AppData/LocalLow/Nerd Island Studios LLC/Robot Rumble 2_0/After that, you'll just import the bots.

Changelog:
[Added] Undo/Redo to BotLab.
[Added] Check when initially loading bots that updates them to the latest Robot_Save_File version.
[Added] Save button to BotLab.
[Added] FileWatcher to Bot Select screens. Now these will automatically update if you move/add/remove botfiles or folders in your file browser while the game is open without needing to exit and re-enter the bot select screen.

[Change] Optimised bot select menu generation time around 350-450x.
⚠️ - The first time you load in to a folder this might take a little longer due to needing to update the botfiles within to the latest version, after that first load though you should see the optimisation kick in.
[Change] Added a couple new fields to Robot_Save_File.
[Change] Spinners now only slow down by the damage they apply, so a giant hit to cardboard will not take 80kj out of the spinner, instead it will obliterate the cardboard and stay spinning at near max speed.
This improves the ablative effect of weaker materials like plastics, reducing the throw effect. It will also increase damage output, as spinners will keep much more speed.
⚠️ - This change might require a slight rebalance of damage output!
[Change] Increased slow down imparted by arena collisions.
[Change] Upped zero speed spinner bite to prevent spinners from laying still on some objects.
[Change] Updated Robot_Save_File to version 1.1a.
[Change] New, consistent icons in BotLab top bar.
[Change] Hidden AI section in BotLab Part Selection Bar.
[Change] Removed "Show Smartzones Toggle" in BotLab Options Panel in Overview Screen.
[Change] Arena Previews text label now use Hemi font and scale so that name fits on one line.
[Change] Refactored bot select menu generation.
[Change] New, consistent icons in BotLab Bot Select.
[Change] Reconnected TV wires to TV in BotLab Bot Select.
[Change] Realigned Grid in BotLab Bot Select preview.
[Change] Bots no longer reset rotation in BotLab Bot Select preview when selected.
[Change] Search in Bot Select screens now updates live instead of on pressing Enter.
[Change] Upped spinner ineficiency so they will slow down more on a hit, this rebalances the slow down massivly reduced by "spinners now only slow from the damage they actually apply".
[Change] Slightly tweaked values to improve edge detection sensitivity.
[Change] Removed a spinner collision filter that caused spinner to be able to lay still on objects.

[Bugfix] Fix bots falling apart when you restart a fight after using slowdown.
[Bugfix] UI not hiding properly in FreeCam mode.
[Bugfix] Potential overwrite issue when saving using save hotkey (CTRL+R) in BotLab.
[Bugfix] CoM indicator being set to NaN.
[Bugfix] Spinners now have their speeds properly reduced when hitting the arena.

This is labelled as an "Unstable Build," so in order to access it via Steam, you'll have to go into the Steam Library, right-click the game, -> Properties -> Betas -> Select the unstable option in the dropdown.
