Redirection 1.1.0 — Redirection News

Redirection 1.1.0 is now live on Steam! This update is focussed mostly on the Robot Arcade and features for Modders. Here's the full list of changes:

New features

Added a new Robot Arcade game: "Quest". Unlock Quest by completing the main campaign.
Locked Robot Arcade games are now displayed with a padlock icon on the game selection screen.
The button prompts for the built-in Robot Arcade games are now more helpful.
Running Redirection with "-demo" on the command line now launches the game in a streamlined demonstration mode. This feature is used to exhibit Redirection at live events!
Shortened the final cutscene of the main campaign.
Added a message when completing a level with fewer than the allowed number of obstacles.
Added one new achievement.
Made some changes to support modders creating custom tiles:
- All tile types now support "alt" and "editor" models.
- Robot animation and sound maps now include additional entries for more control.
- The "animated" tile type now supports separate models, animations and particle effects when the tile is powered.
Minor text fixes.

Robot Arcade improvements

Added a keyboard and a 2MB hard drive to the Robot's device list. This allows arcade games to accept keyboard input and to store save data. Because of the new keyboard device, the keyboard shortcut to reboot the Robot is now Ctrl+R.
All functions in the io API can now be used to communicate with the user.
The speaker device now plays audio at a higher sample rate. Also added support for sawtooth waveforms and a duty parameter for square waves.
All error messages emitted by Lua APIs now have correct file names and line numbers.
Renamed gpu.setColorMapping() to gpu.mapColor(). Removed some unused and undocumented functions to simplify the APIs.
Changed the amount of memory available to the Robot to 512KB.

Bug fixes

Fixed Z-fighting during cutscenes on some GPUs.
Fixed website links not working on Linux due to Steam's Linux sandbox. The links now open in Steam's built-in web browser instead.
Fixed a few Robot Arcade methods which could crash the game if called incorrectly.

Have fun! I look forward to seeing all your new Redirection levels and Robot Arcade games on the Steam Workshop!
