Introduced by Kulltero in PR #55, drag & drop allows us to mark a panel as draggable & listening to its movements when dragged by the player, opening up a whole new way of player interaction.

Introduced by 0xF in PR #69 (nice), you're now able to rotate any UI elements you're creating.

• CommunityEntity (Rust.Community)
• CuiCore (Carbon.Common)

Introduced by Jake Rich in commit, in Protobuf format you're now able to add entirely custom player vital elements with very high customisation, allowing you to change the following:

public Color backgroundColor;
public Color leftTextColor;
public Color rightTextColor;
public Color iconColor;
public string leftText;
public string rightText;
public string icon;
public bool active;
public int timeLeft;

Time Left ​

To use TimeLeft, you must also assign rightText with a similar format such as the following: "{timeleft:ss}". When the countdown reaches zero, nothing will happen, it's just a client-side visual countdown.

Icons ​

The icon field is a string but it actually takes in a FileStorage CRC value.

You can now change the scale of entities. And it's fairly easy too, as well as optimal on the network. The scale only gets networked if the BaseEntity.networkEntityScale is set to true. To actually update and sync the change, you just update the transform.localScale and run entity.SendNetworkUpdate().

You can now assign custom item icons by using item.itemImageId which is a FileStorage CRC uint value. Make sure to mark the item dirty with item.MarkDirty() to see it update immediately.

There are a few modding-related supported changes, such as the following:

• Dropped item names will show custom names now
• Modified Drone tax will now show up correctly
• Have the ability to make previously throwable melee weapons as non-throwable
• Modified player max. health will now properly scale on the client

While you're still able to use the WebControlPanel using Rust's default WebRCon with one defined password granting the ability to execute owner-level commands, we're introducing Accounts with this brand new update!

A new mode will be available on the panel, named Bridge. Once configured on your server, it will start a new RCon-like TCP connection which is entirely buffer-based (relative to Rust's WebRCon JSON-based communication) running under Carbon's Bridge system.

As the name might tell, with the introduction of the brand new Bridge connection, you're now able to have multiple passwords for the Bridge connection, which grant the people with access different permissions, opposite to granting them the rights to execute any owner-level commands.

The location of the brand new WebPanel config is at <root>/carbon/config.webpanel.json by default. Depending on the viewing permissions, once accounts log in, they will only see and access the tabs that they have permission to.

The config can be reloaded on the fly as well as the Bridge server connection and port can be changed when reloading the config. Here're the available relevant commands:

• c.webpanel.loadcfg: Reloads the config, (re)starting the connection.
• c.webpanel.savecfg: Saves the config in case any changes haven't saved.
• c.webpanel.setenabled: Changes on-the-fly the status of the server if was previously configured to be enabled.
• c.webpanel.clients: Prints a table list of all connected web clients.
• c.webpanel.connected: Is a readonly Carbon variable which lets you know if the Bridge server is broadcasting.
