UPDATE 1/28/2019 ~~ Besti 9.50 FC
===========================
This is named FC after the convention I was at for the last week. I’m blaming that for the small update that’s mostly fixes/improvements. More complicated stuff in the next build I only had a couple days to work on this one and I did so with a cold!
==Core Updates==
-Altered the 2D and No-Tracker VR spawning mechanic to add additional logic to prevent you from breaking the friend spawner by switching your reticle class or looking at specific visual triggers. Pretty quick fix with only 6 lines of code. Thanks Lavender!
-Added a contingency to deal with the situation where folks set up friends with custom textures and then later remove the texture file used by the friend file. I get a report of this every couple weeks and figure I should do something about it because people keep doing it ^_^. It used to crash the friend spawn process because I looked at this like it was a very unlikely or at least known cause for what caused the behavior. The new way performs a test against the friend texture file, and it also responds to a loading error if the file exists but is broken for some reason. If either of those conditions are met, it spawns the friend with a special texture that says “MISSING CUSTOM TEXTURE. PUT IT BACK” written down the friend’s legs instead of crashing the friend loading process.
==Bug Fixes==
-I had a report that fluids were having problems in House Party, but I was unable to reproduce the problem. I suspect it was accidentally fixed with the massive bug fix in 9.49. Fluids are rough in Besti 9 I know but there’s a whole new system going in for Besti X. Without tanking performance this is as good as they can get in Besti 9. Nvidia FLEX in Besti X makes much better fluids than LibOni + Physx which is what Besti 9 uses.
-Some geometry errors in the round glasses have been fixed.
==New Features==
-The bed in the custom home environment is now a class 4 spawn point. This permits laying and kneeling interaction with friends. I’ll need to make a new bed to get standing to work but I’ll put improvements to the custom home environment on the list of tasks to vote on.
-Nerdy glasses are now using the Clothing 2.0 system. This makes them compatible with the Maleface and Boxface options.
-Round glasses are now using the Clothing 2.0 system. This makes them compatible with the Maleface and Boxface options.
