Only the host needs to own the DLC

In ancient prehistoric times, you have discovered a new land with plentiful lakes, mountains and forests (and apparently many stone rocks that shall be called dice). Your people can develop new things like basketry or find oxen or simply GROW and conquer.

In Rise of Tribes, players control a tribal faction in prehistoric times looking to GROW, MOVE, GATHER, and LEAD their people. The board is modular, composed of hexes in various terrain types. Each hex has a population limit. Players manage the number of tribe members they place on any one hex to either trigger or avoid conflict.

We have a new DLC game available for you today - Mistborn: House War

Only the host needs to own the DLC
3 - 5 Players | Ages 13 & Up | 60-120 Minutes Playing Time

Become the head of a Great House of Luthadel in this game of negotiation and betrayal set in the world of Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn novels. Contend with myriad problems plaguing the Final Empire rampaging koloss, disease, social unrest, even the heroes of the novels and with every step jockey for the Lord Ruler's favor. At the end of the story, will you rise to power and prestige or fall in ruin and disgrace?

Mistborn: House War is a resource-management game set during the events of the first Mistborn novel. Three to five players assume the roles of various factions and must work together to solve the "Problems" facing the Final Empire. In order to solve these problems players must expend a certain combination of resources, but in return they receive Favor from the Lord Ruler.

Each round, players produce resources (food, money, prestige, skaa, warriors, and atium) in different proportions and combinations based on their faction. You can convert between different resources to get something that is missing, but in the long run the players must work together, pooling their resources, to succeed.

[h2]Hey everyone it's been a while, but we have a huge patch for you guys today![/h2]

The headline feature is Tabletop Simulator now supports translations for all 29 languages supported by Steam. The game has been translated with the help of google translate but we also added support for creating your own translations and sharing them on the Workshop. Using google translate is an exciting jumping off point for a more global user friendly experience, however, recognizing google translates limitations we are also excited to see what native speakers in the community can come up with for the most authentic multilingual game play experience. Furthermore, the translation support is extended to all of your great mods out there. Now players can participate in the same game with different localized text or assets based on their selected language.

We've also upgraded the game's engine (everything should run smoother), added layout zones (automatically lay out cards easily), and added object tags (easily filter system interactions).

We have a bunch of other great new features, upgrades, and fixes you can read about all below.

Finally we are launching a new method for collecting user feedback and bug reports found at https://tabletopsimulator.nolt.io/.

This will allow us to better connect with the community for a more fluid and streamlined feedback loop, including increased visibility into our process. The new system allows you to easily make suggestions and upvote and downvote other community member ideas in a similar style to reddit. Additionally, the community will now be able to see our progress on implementing suggestions, fixes, and new features through the roadmap tool.

We've got a new DLC game available for you today - Dawn of the Zeds!

The postcards in every local drug store read, "Welcome to Fabulous Farmingdale!", an ad campaign that was the brainchild of Mayor Hernandez (who coincidentally employed his wife's public relations firm to market their community). But right now, things are far from fabulous in Farmingdale and, for once, everyone isn't blaming the Mayor. Some kind of virus or poison is turning ordinary people into vicious, zombie-like killers. It is not clear how the disease spreads (though it seems that physical contact is certainly one way), but it is obvious what the illness does to its victims.

These undead, nicknamed "Zeds" from the local newscasts as the acronym for "Zombie Epidemic Disease," are now converging on your corner of the world around Farmingdale. As best you can tell, you have been left to your own devices to stop them while the National Guard organizes a relief column, but that could take days, perhaps weeks, for them to fight their way to you and until then, what can you do?

With little choice between survival and a gruesome (un)death, you realize that you must coordinate the defense of the town of Farmingdale and its surrounding villages. You must lead the good citizens and emerging heroes of these communities to halt the Zeds' advances by (re)killing them, attempt to coordinate the discovery of a cure to this vile scourge, and preserve as much of the area and as many of its inhabitants as possible. There's no time to lose...

Hey everyone, hope you're all doing good!
We got a great patch you guys today with a ton of great features, improvements, and fixes.

[h3]Summary:[/h3]
You can now make your games friends or invite only, no longer requiring a password.
We have a ton of great new features to the line tool making it awesome for all your wargaming needs.
There are a lot of great physics improvements to make everything feel a lot more stable.

And much more all covered below!

[h3]General[/h3]

• The game will now show a ghost object where your object will drop when snapping to grid or snap points.

We've got a new DLC available for you today:

Unearth is a bend-your-luck game of dice placement and set collection. Designed by Jason Harner and Matthew Ransom, it plays in under an hour with 2-4 players. Each player leads a tribe of Delvers, represented by five dice (3 six-sided, 1 four-sided, and 1 eight-sided). Players take turns rolling and placing dice in an attempt to claim Ruins.

The game's elegant core mechanic is accessible to players of all skill levels. High rolls help players claim Ruins, while low rolls help players collect Stones. This opens two paths to victory: claiming sets of Ruins or using Stones to build Wonders. Delver cards help you affect your dice rolls or dice in play, and Wonders can grant abilities that impact the late game.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/610702/Tabletop_Simulator__Unearth/

We've got yet another great update for you today featuring a Custom Theme Editor (dark mode included), Global Chat Filter, Picture-in-Picture and many scripting improvements!

Inspired by a love of classic video games, Boss Monster: The Dungeon Building Card Game pits 2-4 players in a competition to build the ultimate side-scrolling dungeon. Players compete to lure and destroy hapless adventurers, racing to outbid one another to see who can build the most enticing, treasure-filled dungeon. The goal of Boss Monster is to be the first Boss to amass ten Souls, which are gained when a Hero is lured and defeated but a player can lose if his Boss takes five Wounds from Heroes who survive his dungeon.

Hey everyone, this is one of our largest updates yet! We've updated the game engine massively to the latest version of Unity 2019.1 which will give us overall better performance and features. There has also been an optimization pass to reduce stutter causing situations, so everything can be as silky smooth as possible. That's just the tip of the iceberg: reduced game size 4gb, AssetBundle materials, spectator camera improvements, and ton more covered below!

Unity Engine Upgrade:

• Upgrade Unity version from 5.6.6 to 2019.1.
  
• Dx11 on Windows, OpenGLCore on Mac and Linux.
  
• FPS should be overall faster. Can be twice as fast in really specific scenes.
  
• Physics performance improved.
  
• Video textures much faster with more formats support (.m4v and .mov)
  
• Incremental garbage collector greatly reduces the game's stutters.
  

• Dx9 support has been dropped (only 0.01% of players have a gpu that is only Dx9). Dx10 is minimum requirement now.
  
• Windows Xp support dropped and with Steam not supporting it anymore either this isn't a surprise.
  
• All custom images are now resized to a power of 2 internal, so avoid using non power of 2 images if you can. This is due to Dx11 bug this might be changed back in the future if Unity fixes this.
  
• RAW cache from Images and Models had to deleted to due incompatibilities with the engine upgrade.
  

• AssetBundles using crunched textures will not load correctly and need to be re-exported from Unity 2019.1 with the updated Modding Project.
  
• AssetBundle mesh colliders might behave differently due to physx upgrade.
  

• Saving mod asset to disk is now async and will not sutter the game.
  
• Greatly reduced the time it takes to destroy objects reducing the lag when changing mods.
  
• Made the Games & Saved Objects menu async to fix stutters when opening them.
  

• DLC are no longer included in the game install and will be downloaded when played the first time.

  • Added support for adding {verifycache} in front of your urls to have the game check the last-modified header of a url to update the local cache if it is stale. Only does this check once per game session.
    
  • This is an advanced feature for people that want to host content on there own servers and make sure people get updates without having to change the URLs.
    
  • https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Last-Modified

bind period !cam_tracking
>bind comma exec cam_target

# make right shift cycle through first 3 camera positions
alias next_camera add cam_load_zero 1 3

Update v11.1 New DLC - Tortuga 1667, and SO... MANY... IMPROVEMENTS!

This patch is filled to bursting with general improvements that you, the community, have been asking for. Better Fog of War, useful scripting additions, better VR, game chat announcements of clearing and measurements, Jigsaw puzzle improvements and MORE! If you don't see the improvements you were hoping for in this update, we're still hard at work on even more improvements for the future!

And what's this?! It is a great official DLC release: Tortuga 1667



DLC - Tortuga 1667
https://store.steampowered.com/app/610697/Tabletop_Simulator__Tortuga_1667/

• Tortuga 1667 is now available for $6.99 with a 20% launch discount.
  
• Scripted setup to help get into the game quickly.
  
• Select your seats and press one of the on-table buttons to begin.
  
• Read the Notebook for additional info.
  

• The game can now detect if the jigsaw puzzle is complete.
  
• The "Shuffle" and "Check" commands can be found if you right-click on the puzzle box.
  
• The UI that opens when a new puzzle is created now remembers the settings you used on your last puzzle.
  
• Pieces will rotate to nearest 90-degree rotation when snapping in place.
  

• Higher maximum reveal range!
  
• Field of View (and field of view offset) added!
  
• You can cause items in the Fog to become hidden again if a "reveal" moves off of them. This works like Fog of War in many RTS games. You can enable this feature by right-clicking the Fog of War Zone with the Fog of War Zone Tool and enabling it.
  
• Some performance improvements have been made as well.
  
• Revealer Objects can now also be hidden from each other.
  

• To locate the menu, go to: "Configuration > Interface > Misc..."
  
• Tweak the camera rotation speed.
  
• Hide VR players.
  
• Center on mouse when zooming.
  
• Switch from "inches" to "metric".
  
• You will see some other patch notes that mention the "MISC" menu. They can be modified here as well.
  

• If you press a number key when over a single card, it will draw that single card (like it would if the card was part of a deck).
  
• Dice rolling in high-gravity rooms has been improved.
  
• New "Sort" categories have been added to various menus. "Classic" now has "Last Played", "DLC" now has "Purchased", and "Workshop" now has "Downloaded".
  
• When you open the search menu, the keyboard cursor will jump up to the Search box. This is so you can just start typing to begin a search, rather than needing to click in the "Search" text box.
  
• Both "Previous State" and "Next State" options have been added. They have keyboard shortcuts, PgUp and PgDn by default. You can change which keys scroll through the states of an object in the Configuration menu. You can change if they wrap (the last one leads back to the first) in the Misc menu.
  
• The line tool is now able to log its measurements, printing them to the Game tab. This is off by default, but can be enabled in the Misc menu.
  
• Server Browser sorting now works during the refresh.
  
• You can now use Ctrl-F6 to toggle all UI panels on/off.
  
• The tablet should now work on Linux. This is experimental.

• Added chat message notifying if someone deletes all vector lines, 3d texts, or decals.
  
• You can now Shift+F keys to cycle through your tools in reverse order.
  
• The version number on the bottom right of the main menu is now click-able to bring up patch notes.
  
• Fixed objects getting stuck above tiny play areas.

• Added addDecal(table), getDecals(), and setDecals(table). Now scripting can add decals into the game world.
  
• Added object.getJoints().
  
• When a table of parameters for a joint is returned, it now includes joint_object_guid. This is the GUID for the object which is attached by the joint.
  
• Added desired_position to the list of parameters returned by .getCustomObject() when it is used on a Jigsaw Puzzle piece. This parameter is the "solved" position for the piece.
  
• New Time class added, used to easily fetch information like os.time(), but also other informations like time passed since last frame, total frames passed, etc.
  
• pingTable(vector) added to the Player class. Now a script can emulate a player pinging.
  
• Added setComponentVar(componentName, varName, value) and getComponentVar(componentName, varName) as an object function. This allows you to access components that you have made part of your AssetBundle via scripting. For example, changing lights or colliders on the fly. These functions will also work on the components of default objects like "Collider" and "Light".
  

• Scripting can now properly read whose turn it is (according to the Turns system).

• VR controllers can now act as a joypad for control binding; turn on Joypad Emulation in the VR settings, and make sure the Controller option at the bottom of the Controls window is ticked.
  
• Using above, most normal control bindings should work where approriate in VR (e.g. Copy, Paste, Flip, etc.)
  
• Can now attach the VR UI screen to a controller: rotate your wrist as if you were looking at your watch.
  
• Added Drawings, Text, Gizmo, Snap, and Decal tools.
  
• Fixed Zone tools, Line tool (displays measurement, arrow ping).
  
• Fixed objects (such as chess pieces) warping into upright rotation on grab (now smooth-moves).
  
• Trigger Click Effect now known as Orient Object.

Sale ends November 27th at 10am (PST).

It has been a while since the last update, because we've been plugging away at making it a big one. Fog of War, Play Area control, Line Tool improvements, Additive Loading, VR Improvements, and much of it covered in our brand new Knowledge Base. Oh my!

We're also back at it with a new official DLC: Draco Magi!



DLC - Draco Magi
https://store.steampowered.com/app/610696/Tabletop_Simulator__Draco_Magi/

• Draco Magi now available for $6.99 with a 20% launch discount.
  
• Includes the base game, as well as the expansion.
  
• Scripted setup to help you get into the game quickly.
  
• Select your seats and press one of the on-table buttons to begin.
  
• Read the Notebook for additional info.
  

• Found under the Zone tools, Fog of War acts similarly to a hidden zone, with the zone hiding objects that are within it.
  
• You can right click any object to enable "Reveal Fog Of War" in its Toggles menu. This object now reveals fog, instead of being hidden inside of it.
  
• Right clicking it again shows options for visibility range as well as what color objects are revealed for.
  
• The piece reveals area of the fog, which is represented by a black plane.
  
• Did we mention it can be accessed via scripting? See below.
  
• GM (black seat) players can see everything in the fog.
  
• Objects also have a "Ignore Fog of War" toggle, to disable the hiding effect on that piece.
  
• All "Boards" are unaffected by fog, and are still visible. You can set your Custom Models or AssetBundles to be "boards" if you want them visible as well.
  
• Read about other options and system details on the Zone Tools section of the new Knowledge Base.
  

• Want the camera to move further from the table? Or not be able to? Play area lets you set that distance limit.
  
• Use this to make a small room that the player can't sneak out of.
  
• Use it to make even BIGGER setups.
  
• The setting can be modified under **Options** at the top of the screen, then under the **Game** settings.
  

• Your measurements with the line tool are now visible for all players!
  
• The line never covers the number.
  
• It is not blurry. What more could you ask for from a line?!
  

• Clicking this option causes all of the game pieces from the save to be loaded into your CURRENT game.
  
• So all your current game objects remain where they were and the ones from the save you Additive Loaded from will appear as well.
  
• An ideal use for this is to save different dungeon/map setups, then load them into your current game after clearing space.
  

• The old Knowledge Base was built to explain the many systems in Tabletop Simulator.
  
• A replacement for the old Knowledge Base, the new Knowledge Base has a fast, much more modern setup.
  
• It is patterned on the update API.
  
• There have been some additional documents created, updates to classics and more.
  
• It also allows you to submit improvements via GitHub.
  

• On-Screen Keyboard:
  
  
  
  • Turn on in Interface settings. Displays an on-screen keyboard - mainly for use in VR (makes searching a lot easier). Can be toggled in VR with button on right of screen.
    
  
  
• VR Settings UI:
  
  
  
  • You no longer need to use console commands to configure your VR experience.
    
  • Accessible through Interface settings, or in VR with button on right of screen.
    
  • Added setting to disable displaying network player VR peripherals; accessible in VR settings or via console command vr_display_network_players
    
  • Added settings for how selection works: either a box with a fixed height (as it has been), a box exactly as you draw it, or a box anchored to the table surface.
    
  • Long hover tooltips now wordwrap.
    
  
  
• System Console:
  
  
  
  • A number of commands are now persistent: you do not need to add them to your autoexec to set them at startup; instead they will remember their setting between sessions.
    
  • help will show which commands persist.
    
  
  
• New Commands:
  
  
  
  • reset
    
  • ui_config_vr
    
  • ui_keyboard_default_state
    
  • ui_keyboard_show
    
  • ui_keyboard_scale
    
  • ui_keyboard_echo_duration
    
  • vr_display_network_players
    
  • vr_mode_selection_style
    
  • vr_selection_style_anchored
    
  • vr_selection_style_exact
    
  • vr_selection_style_fixed
    
  
  

• Added Physics.play_area
  
• Added object.setFogOfWarReveal(table)
  
• Added object.getFogOfWarReveal()
  
• Added object.ignore_fog_of_war
  
• Read more about these in the API.
  

• Peeking cards no longer causes their name/description to become available for all players to see for a few moments.
  
• Improvements to the console's color changing commands to prevent abuse.
  

Hey everyone got meaty patch for you guys this time focusing on improving the drawing tool with improved visuals and functionality. We also got a plethora of great VR improvements that can be seen below like virtual hands. Also like normal we got a bunch of great scripting improvements.

• Pixel paint removed.
  
• Fixed up bugs plaguing lines on objects.
  

• Added Steam rich presence to see what games your friends are playing and if there is any room!
  
• Server browser now streams in results instead of in one big chunk.
  
• You can stop this refresh by clicking the refresh again.
  
• Raised max packet size from 1 mb to 10 mb allowing you to load larger save files when promoted.

  New Object functions:
  
• obj.drop() causes the item, if held by a player, to be dropped.
  
• setHiddenFrom(players) Hides objects from a specific player/players. Uses "hand zone" hiding.
  
• setInvisibleTo(players) Hides objects from a specific player/players. Uses "hidden zone" hiding.
  
• attachHider(...) and attachInvisibleHider(...) are more advanced version of
• setHiddenFrom and setInvisibleTo, there to help handle complex situations easily.
  [u]Old Object Functions (with new features!)
  
• setRotationValues() now allows you to start a name/value with a # and it won't display the value in the tooltip.
  
• randomize(color) Now an optional string can be added so that
• onObjectRandomized will trigger, indicating that player color triggered it.
  New base function:
  
• get/setVectorLines() Allows for lines to be placed via scripting using the new vector line tools`
  New Spawnable object: Custom Decks!
  
• Technically this was added before, but now it works and is documented!
  
• Spawn using spawnObject then set it using setCustomObject
  Clarifications to the Object class
  
• Some functions, let setSnapPoints or call, work on both Object and Global.
  
• To highlight which Object functions can be directed at the game world, they have been broken out on the Object page into a "Global Functions" section.
  New Object member Variables
  
• use_rotation_value_flip can be used to modify which direction objects flip.
  
• is_face_down determines if an object's "face" is pointed down (like with cards). The face is the direction that faces the positive Y value.
  
• hide_when_face_down hides an Object when it is face-down. Objects are hidden like if in a hidden zone. The face is the direction that faces the positive Y value.

Hey we got another great patch for you guys today with a ton of great scripting changes, give host, and a brand new file browser!

Give Host:

• Allows the host of game to pass the hosting off to another player that is connected to them.
  
• The selected player will receive a confirmation dialog to accept the new host and can accept or decline.

• Using it to put an object into a container/stack/deck will return the container/stack/deck it was made part of.
  
  New class Notes[u]
  
• Contains notebook and set/getNotes functions.
  
• Deprecated the old "Base" versions of these functions.
  
  [u]New class Wait
  
• This new class allows you to easily trigger functions after some form of delay.
  
• Contains frames, time, condition, and stop functions.
  
• Deprecated Timer class entirely.
  
  New Object functions
  
• obj.cut(int) - Cuts a deck at the given card index.
  
• obj.split(int) - Splits a deck in a number of stacks.

• Fix motor_force not working on jointTo().
  
  New Object Member Variables

• These are helpful to determine if elements are loaded into the game fully
  
• Especially useful with the new Wait class!
  
  Callback Changes
  
• Callbacks are being overhauled to use brand new syntax where you directly pass the function instead of the function string name, function owner, and params.
  
• Ex: Wait.time(|| print("Done"), 1) or Wait.time(function() print("Done") end, 1)
  
• Effected are spawnObject/Json(), takeObject(), and Webrequests.
  
  Custom UI:
  
• New Lua function:
  
• UI.setValue(string id, string value) - Updates the value that appears within element tags {>>(ex: THIS)<<}

Hey everyone we got another great patch for you guys focused on a broad range of things, but a lot had to do with spring cleaning and keeping everything running great.

Hey everyone, v10.0 will be our largest patch ever added to the game! This update’s focus was on completely rewriting and optimizing the netcode on Tabletop Simulator to help solve a lot of the connection issues.

We also have a free update to Viticulture by Stonemaier Games, which adds in the expansions Tuscany and Moor Visitors!

And finally, we have made a few UI improvements which we hope you like. The main menu has changed for simplicity and to match the rest of the UI, and the host options menu has been split into Game, Server and Permissions. We’ve added some additional features to these menus as well.

VR and Touch is currently not working in this update, but we plan on adding it back in very shortly.

Hey everyone, v10.0 will be our largest patch ever added to the game! We are replacing and optimizing the netcode on Tabletop Simulator to give you guys the best possible experience. Due to the vastness of these changes, we decided to have an open beta to test and make sure nothing has slipped through the cracks. Additional features and fixes will also be included in the patch’s final release.

We want as many people as possible to help us test the networking rewrite, so we can work out any kinks before it goes live. We have commenced closed beta testing and are now opening this up to everyone. We would greatly appreciate your help and feedback to ensure this is a smooth process.

To access the open beta:

• In your Steam Library, right click on Tabletop Simulator and click on Properties.
  
  
  
  
• Click on the BETAS tab.
  
• Click the drop down arrow and choose public_beta - Public beta branch.
  
  
  
  
• Give it time for the update to take place and then play as normal.
  
• Be sure to play in multiplayer for efficient testing.
  
• You can join through Steam friends or via the Server browser.

• Networking has moved over to Steam.
  
• Reduces the overall bandwidth to host a server.
  
• Alleviates host desync issues.
  
• Improves game security from hackers.
  
• Reduces stutters and FPS loss when hosting.

• Hotseat
  
• Touch
  
• VR
  
• Host Options

A new feature in this update is Onscreen Hands! This allows you to see and play from your hand from any position. This is great for those who prefer to have their hands in a static position on screen. Now everyone can have the best seat!

We also focused on figuring out where any networking issues are coming from, so we have added networking indicators next to your names on the top right, so you know exactly what’s going on.

Type /debug in chat and take screenshots of your readout if any networking issues come up. Use the following networking chat commands to help make adjustments when clients are connected.

Network Commands

• /networktickrate 20-120 (default 60) - this is how often the network will transmit data each second.
  
• /networkpackets 1-5 (default 2) - how many packets per tick to send out. Higher values make it so more objects can be synchronized each tick. (Host only command)
  
• /networkinterpolate 0-5 (default 1.1) - the amount of time for interpolation, increasing this value increases smoothness but also increases input lag for the clients. (Client only command)
  
• /networkquality 0-2 (0=high, 1=medium, 2=low) - changes the overall quality presets.
  
  If you are having networking issue try:
  
  /networkquality 2
  
  This will require 4 times less bandwidth than the default.
  Restarting the game will reset these commands to default.
  

• New feature onscreen hands that allow you to see and manipulate your hand from any location.
  
• The onscreen hand functions just like it does normally.
  
• Everything you do in your onscreen hand will be shown in your regular hand, so other players will still know what you’re doing.
  
• This allows you to view your camera in any direction or zoomed in, yet still see your hands.
  
• Objects can also go in your onscreen hand.
  
• Mousing over an object in your hand will show you the full view of the object.
  
• When you pull cards & objects into your onscreen hand, you will see a line indicator so you know it is there and the max size it can be.
  
• If you want a larger onscreen hand, you will need to extend the size of your regular hand zone.
  
• Cards will scale based on the size of the hand zone.
  
• You can toggle the onscreen hand by pressing H.
  

• Added new network icon indicators so you can tell what is happening with the host or client.
  
• Hover over the icons for more detailed info.
  
• The icons will show for each person, to show what your connection is to a particular person.
  
• - This shows when you are connecting to this player.
  
• - This shows when you are connected to this player through Steam’s relay servers. Performance is not optimal.
  
  
• Open the following ports if you are still having connection/network issues:
  
  UDP 3478 (Outbound)
  UDP 4379 (Outbound)
  UDP 4380 (Outbound)
  
  
• - This shows when you are disconnected from this player.
  

• Updated tokens that needed to have the proper green & gold backs.
  
• Updated token rotations.
  
• Some tooltips have been updated.
  
• Some snap points have been adjusted.
  
• Added camera states for quick views.
  

• Updated all custom content menus to match rest of UI.
  
• Updated chat settings to match rest of UI.
  
• Updated icons next to names to have outlines for better readability.
  

• createInput()/editInput() added int tab (None = 1, Select Next = 2, Indent = 3)
  
• inputs now default to tab select next.
  

• Fixed issue pressing A with a controller resetting pointer position.
  
• Fixed issue with scripted movement of an object not always syncing to clients.
  

A major part of this update focused on rewriting and optimizing the net code for object position synchronization which makes up the majority of the game’s network traffic. You will notice a huge improvement as the client when moving objects around with reduced input lag. This data will also now pass through Steam’s P2P network backend. Slowly but surely we are going to migrate all the netcode to use the Steam P2P.

We also have some additional fixes and improvements for Voice Chat that should hopefully resolve the last of the issues.

Thanks for your patience and post on our forums of any issues that come up along the way so we can make sure it is working properly.



DLC - Darkest Night

http://store.steampowered.com/app/433520

• Darkest Night has gotten a complete overhaul with a brand new look!
  
• We have also added expansions #2-5 for free as part of this update. (#1 was already included)
  
• Read the notes in the Notebook for additional info.
  
• As this DLC was updated, please note that any existing save files will no longer work.

• Reduced bandwidth usage for moving objects by around 300%.
  
• Upped tick rate to 60Hz from 30Hz.
  
• Greatly reduced the input lag of moving objects around for clients with better interpolation, tick rates, and unreliable packet.
  
• Less chance of the network getting backed causing everything to be massively delayed forcing a reconnect.
  
• Added a smart system to dial back the send rate on objects when having to synchronize hundreds of objects per second.
  
• Host no longer has to network sync other players pointer that info is now directly communicated between each player saving bandwidth.
  
• Overall players should be able to host more with less connection issue with these improvements.

• Hopefully fixed up the last of the P2P errors.
  
• Dynamic quality adjustments based on packet loss.
  
• Improved voice quality slightly with newer Opus version.

• Updated Configuration menu to add in a Sound tab.
  
• You can now adjust various volumes and choose your microphone from this menu.
  
• The Game tab has been updated with some additional options like Look Speed, Invert, Field of View and Movement Speed.
  
• The Pointers have been moved to the Interface tab.
  
• Updated all sliders and scrollbars.

• Improved 3d UI Interactions.
  
• Fixed editInput() bugs.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/610694

• New Model and image for the board to fix misprint,
  new tracker cube asset bundles
  
• The player mats have been moved down closer to the Hand Zone,
  the hidden zones are a lot bigger now, about 2x as big, and moved above the player mats.
  
• Bones and Notoriety Tokens are smaller so they all fit into the hexes on the board now.
  
• "Start Game" script has been modified to adjust to board and other changes.
  
• Fixed green hidden zone so it's no longer reversed.

• Backside of 3d UI is no longer interactable.
  
• Can now pick up object on top of 3d UI.

• Optimized hand performance with lots of objects.

• Fixed issue with Steam Authentication Failed messages.

In the last update we ran into crashing issues using Steam’s voice chat, so we temporarily turned off voice chat while we investigated.

After working all weekend and implementing a brand new system, we think we have something even better! Crystal clear voice using the latest Opus codec, the gold standard of voice chat. This new voice chat should sound better and perform better than Steam Voice or our old system.

Currently, Team Voice Chat icons do not show for other players. Disable voice chat only disables your voice. Click on a name to mute individual players in the meantime.

Thanks for your patience during this time. Hopefully the new voice chat works well for you all. If you have any feedback, please post on our forums.


Voice Chat Commands:

• /mics (will return a list of available mics with a number.)
  
• /setmic # (to assign your new mic as default.)
  
• This will be moved into the configuration menu in the future.
  

• Scripting inputs now support BBCode.
  
• Fixed movement/jitter with scripting 3d ui.
  
• Fixed auto save not occurring during a table flip.
  
• Fixed steam authentication issues when reconnecting to server.
  

• If you are having problems talking to others players make sure your GLIBCXX_3.4.20 is on this version. This might change in the future.
  

We’ve been working on a lot of stuff these past few weeks to finally use Steam networking. We’ve got a great head start by converting our old voice chat over to Steam Voice, so you’ll see a great improvement! We’re still working on the full conversion, so let us know what you think thus far.

So many of you have been asking for the ability to create character sheets since nearly the beginning and it hasn’t been easy to come up with something that was feasible, but now we have! Through scripting - createInput(), you can now create your own custom character sheets.

The Great Dinosaur Rush by Ape Games is now in Tabletop Simulator as DLC!

The Great Dinosaur Rush, or the Bone Wars as they’re otherwise called, were a period of incredible advancement in paleontology (discovery of fossils).

You and your adventuring companions are just returning to the bustling city of Greyport after your latest adventure.

We also have an exciting update to Hands, where you can now bring any object into them! Your hands aren’t just for cards any more! And not just that, but you can now draw and deal from loot bags, infinite bags and stacks!

We also have a new tool for you in the gizmo side menu - Rotation Values! What does this mean? You can now create custom tooltips for your dice or anything else that needs a tooltip that changes depending on the rotation of the object. Names or numbers are allowed!

An exciting new feature that a lot of you have asked for is the ability to adjust the lighting! You no longer have to rely on the 8 different backgrounds for the only light source. You can customize your own and combining that with Assetbundles, you can create some pretty nifty things. We can’t wait to see what you come up with!
