Major Features
Steam Workshop

Have you just created the best map ever existed in BeatAim?! Go ahead select your map, click "Workshop", "Update" wait few seconds for the amazing text "Success" and... Well you have to wait little more, like 2-3 mins for Workshop to refresh. Your map will show up in Workshop ingame tab. It will also get leaderboard assigned (that you can reset anytime you want).

Remember that everytime you play your map it will be validated to make sure noone is cheating. If you want to modify it use "Play Test" button when testing your changes.



 New "Precise"game mode
Greatly rewards accuracy over speed. Targets appear instantly and rhythm bonus is heavily reduced.
Can be changed in map.json config under "GameMode" option.



 New gun M249
Special feature - rapidfire while shooting sliders

Modding - Custom 3d visual maps made in Unity

 

⠀This is big one bringing limitless possibilities, including: 3d models, textures, materials, shadows, lighting, animations (and animators), shaders!, backward compatibility across different Unity versions and even whole scenes. Possibly this feature will also work in upcoming multiplayer mode. Guide on how to export a map inc soon.
 

All songs/maps are free
Previously maps had to be unlocked and then level up using in-game coins. It was rather annoying and got removed. In future this progression system will be replaced by map achievements.
 

Downloading libraries (like youtube-dl) as Steam workshop items
Previously players had to go through tiresome process of downloading additional files to be able to download songs. Not anymore! One click and it's done. BeatAim may also work with any other libraries that output .ogg files.



 

Adding/Updating mass songs with csv, google sheets etc
Let's say you've uploaded 20 maps to workshop and one day you've decided to change all of them. No problem, if you follow file format similar to this sheet you'll be able to copy it (yes just click ctrl+A, ctrl+C) and update them all at once (buttons: "Advanced" then "Bulk update from .csv"). Don't forget to upload your changes to the Workshop and reset your leaderboards if needed.

Custom Leaderboards
As described above every Workshop map has leaderboard that can be reset by its creator.

New maps list UI
Simple, Custom and Workshop maps UI will look very similar. There's also new search box that works for all song metadata. Maps that include songs will be shown on top.

FOV Scaling
<80 fov players complained that sometimes they can't see targets. Fixed. It won't matter if u have 160 or 60 fov. Playearea and targets size will be scaled accordingly. There's also MapperFOV in map.json config.

Scoping (ADS) and map part mod
Click right mouse button to aim down sight and decrease your fov and sensitivity. Some maps with "Precise" mode will also have ADS map part modification where targets will be smaller and you suppose to scope in. Don't forget to adjust your settings using mouse-sensitivity.com.

New generator v2 - better beats detection
It would to be tough to explain. Simply speaking it's a lot better. Map.json has new GeneratorVersion option, you can try both versions to compare it with old one.
