Inventory System v1.14 available

A new version of the Inventory System is available with more multiplayer-related features. The Multiplayer Interaction Demo can now run in multiple modes, through two separate implementations of the Character scene: The simple character scene leverages the MultiplayerSynchronizer and can either let the client have authority and move the character, or have the client send inputs to the server, which then applies the movement logic server-side. A separate netfox character scene leverages the netfox addon to implement client-side prediction and server reconciliation.

• Multiplayer Interaction demo character now includes two versions; A “simple” version, and a “netfox” version for client-side prediction.

• Added link to multiplayer lobby demo to main tour for web build
• The main tour theme selector now uses the resource name as the theme name
