Hey Folks!
We're bringing 2024 to a close with a December update. This comes with an official Shack map pack, new cosmetics system, and a completely overhauled Pavlov TV.
Weapon Cosmetics
We have finally brought a cosmetics system to Pavlov. These cosmetics are purchased through Jared Coins. Jared coin packs can be purchased through the Steam store page for Pavlov. Once you have purchased a coin pack, you can then navigate to the customize button in the main menu to purchase new cosmetics, or manage your inventory of your owned cosmetics.
Knife cosmetics are custom meshes with many of them having custom kill notification sounds!
New Maps
We have brought over 6 Pavlov Shack maps to the official map selection for Steam
and PSVR2 versions of Pavlov. This also includes the newest community favorite edition, Oilrig!
Pavlov TV
We have overhauled Pavlov TV with many new features. Working closely with select community members to bring desired features that both the competitive community and modding community have been looking for! The user interface has been completely reworked to fit the current design language of Pavlov.
We have also expanded Pavlov TV's scope beyond streaming competitive matches, adding new content creation and film-making features.
Standalone
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3245770/Pavlov_TV/
Pavlov TV is now it's own stand alone app that can be downloaded for free on Steam. However, we have retained the existing launch parameters to allow you to run Pavlov TV the same way you have before. You do not need a separate installation of Pavlov TV if you already have the Full VR version installed.
You can find the API documentation on the wiki.
Message of the Day
A message of the day has been added to pop up in the main menu on launch. Once it is dismissed, it will no longer pop up again unless a new MOTD has gone live. This will allow us to highlight community events and mods as well as any free cosmetic events or sale discounts.
Community Server API Keys
If you are not a community server host you can skip this section. In order to prevent abuse, we have re-implemented our server API key system. Server hosts will need to jump in game to grab a code in-game from the General tab in the Settings menu. There is a button to Generate server code button that will create a 6 character code you need to use on https://api-key.vankrupt.net/ to generate the full server API key.
Abuse of Code of Conduct or Terms of Service may result in a ban. If you are a regular player you should not provide this key to a server host under any circumstance as your account will be responsible for the conduct of the server.
Instructions can be found on the wiki.
