Client Update 5/3/2023 - Avatar & Import Fixes + Vehicle Preview & Stickers

Multiplayer TV Head Avatars

The avatar images of other people are now fixed on the menus & in-game, so now you’ll once again be able to know who you’re lookin' at just by lookin' at 'em.

Singleplayer in our own worlds are where most of us spend our time, but you can always try clicking the small Multiplayer > Servers button on the main menu to find other worlds, or host your own world that you’re in.

For the best experience, it’s good to not click the OK button until after it looks like all the objects have finished spawning in. And check your Transfers Tab (by holding down TAB button) to watch as custom assets load in - to understand where any lag might be coming from as you walk around. Sometimes re-joining the server after all the custom assets have transferred helps things sync up more accurately. ːilyː

Importing All/Recent Steam Games

The menus for importing your Steam games are fixed and once again let you import your Steam collection in 1 large batch - or you could import just recent games instead.

You can access this feature by middle-clicking on an empty spot & choosing the Steam icon that’s underneath the search box.

Alternatively, you can still add your Steam games one-at-a-time instead by typing the game’s name into the search box BEFORE you click on the Steam icon & choose Steam Store.

And remember that you can spawn ANY game (ie. non-Steam games) by dragging & dropping their desktop shortcut into AArcade’s window while in walking around mode.

Sticker Slots Increased From 4 to 6

Stickers let you apply a game’s Steam Achievement icon images - or your own custom PNGs - as decorations on the cabinet’s marquee surfaces.

You do this by going to an item’s Edit Item menu > Stickers tab. There it’ll show the default stickers available, and also instructions on how to add your own custom PNGs as stickers. (You should try to use low-resolution PNGs so they load quickly for you.)

In today’s update, you’ll be able to add up to 6 stickers per item (increased from 4.)

WEBM Video Support to Always Animated Images

AArcade has the ability to always animate certain types of media in an optimized way using a dynamic video texture atlas.

Animated GIFs, animated APNGs, short low-resolution MP4 videos, and as of today's update - WEBM videos are all supported by the Always Animated Images feature. Sometimes it’s useful to even set non-animated PNGs or GIFs as an always animated image so that it can make use of its alpha channel.

You have to manually flag which items you want to always animate. On the F7 Commands Tab there is a command called Always Animate Image near the top of the list.

It’s worth setting it to a hotkey on your action bar if you’ll be using it often.

Using the command will toggle the item you are looking at (or the nearest item to where you are looking at) to being always animated. If it shows up as a broken image icon when you do this, it means that the item you tried to
