Only the host needs to own the DLC 2 - 5 Players | Ages 13 & Up | 15-30 Minutes Playing Time Widgets Workshop is a drop-style, spatial set collection, card crafting board game. You start the game by dropping 80 part cards onto the table, creating a giant, messy pile of parts in the center. Players take turns pulling parts from the pile, using one finger only, attempting to find the best parts for their robots and golems under construction in their workshop bays. Once a bay contains each of the 5 required pieces, the parts are combined to reveal a unique construct and its name. You win the game by completing the most optimized set of constructs in your workshop!

We have a new DLC game available for you today - Bristol 1350

Only the host needs to own the DLC 1 - 8 Players | Ages 13 & Up | 20-40 Minutes Playing Time The dreaded Black Death has descended upon the town of Bristol. You are racing down the streets in one of the three available apple carts, desperate to escape into the safety of the countryside. If your cart is the first to leave the town and it is full of only healthy villagers when you leave, you and your fellow cart-mates successfully escape and win the game! However, some villagers on your cart may already have the plague! They are hiding their early symptoms from you so that they can enjoy their last few days in peace. If you leave town with a plagued villager on your cart, you will catch the plague. You must do whatever is necessary to make sure that doesn't happen! On the surface Bristol 1350 is part co-operative teamwork, part racing strategy, and part social deduction. In reality, it's a selfish scramble to get yourself out of town as quickly as possible without the plague, by any means necessary.

Check out Bristol 1350 here:

This patch addresses the recent downtime due to issues with the Steam Cloud and includes a couple of additions and fixes to the game.

• Fixed a major issue with steam cloud url format causing loading issues.
• All save files on load are converted to the new url format. (http://cloud-3.steamusercontent.com/ -> https://steamusercontent-a.akamaihd.net/)
• Old cache files will load even with these new urls so we don't have to redownload everything and waste space on storage.

• Added player color to typing indicator below chat
• Added component_hotkey_state_change console command/ misc setting. nolt/1828
• Hand Select Mode working for Lua (player.chooseInHand / player.chooseInHandOrCancel)
• Changed chooseInHand so it is now a feature of HandZone, instead of Player. This makes more sense from a game perspective, and will now work with hotseat, won't mess up if the player for instance changes their seat. Instead of setting a callback when you start the hand select mode you provide a label, and when a player ends hand select mode this event will fire: onPlayerHandChoice(player_colour, label, chosen_objects, confirmed)
• Made magnify zoom slightly larger.
• Added a console command magnify_zoom_size to control this size.
• Added this settings to the misc UI settings menu.
• Fixed alt zoom not working on hand objects when they are not on screen.

Update v13.1 Native File Browser, Cloud Manager & Rewind Time Improvements, Optimizations, and much more!

This patch we wanted to focus on bug fixing, optimizations, and working through the feedback the community has provided for us on our new feedback website: https://tabletopsimulator.nolt.io/roadmap We have found the feedback website to be instrumental in helping us work on the most important features and the fixes you guys would like to see, and we will continue to use this for our future updates. Since going live we have implemented 96 suggestions left by the community on nolt! If you have any feedback of suggestions of your own you can head on over to https://tabletopsimulator.nolt.io/

Native File Browser

• Cloud manager can now upload multiple files at once using the new native file browser.
• Fixed cloud manager reseting to the root path every time you upload or delete something.
• Fixed cloud manager folders not showing up until you open the cloud manager one more time. https://tabletopsimulator.nolt.io/310

Rewind Time Improvements

• Added Music to Workshop asset tags.

• Rotation values now store their data as strings instead of objects in the save file.
• Added EpochTime to save files.
• Changed misc option / console command "keyboard_single_digit_draw" to "keyboard_single_digit_by_default" - it is now used whenever you type on any component (e.g. when changing component states).

• Added "end_turn" command. https://tabletopsimulator.nolt.io/130

• Reduced ram usage by about ~100 MB thanks to shader stripping.
• Save/Workshop file "Search" is now much faster with less chance of a hard lock up.
• Optimized network serialization to generate less garbage and cause less stutters.

• Save file info now caches significantly faster (Less waiting when opening the Games menu).

• Ensured LuaWebRequest's text no longer raises a null reference exception when no downloadHandler is set.
• Object.getData() now correctly omits null value keys.

• Fixed data/JSON round-tripping i.e. spawnObjectData({data=JSON.decode(JSON.encode(container.getData()))}).
• Fixed Lua core mishandling of nil table inserts i.e. table.insert(tab, 1, nil).

Lua Player Action APIs

An API that fires when a user performs an action. You may return false to prevent the action. As opposed to onObject* events, actions are fired once per user action, rather than once per object affected. Added (Universal) onPlayerAction(player, action, targets). targets is a list of Objects and action will be one of:

• Player.Action.Select
• Player.Action.PickUp

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.

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

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.

Updates, Optimizations, and Cleanup

• Updated Unity version to 2019.4 LTS.
• Enable graphics jobs, free performance by multi-threading the rendering (benchmarked up to 25% increase in fps).
• PhysX version upgrade gives better accuracy and performance in a variety of cases.
• Video player is now using hardware decoding on the gpu making video textures more performant.
• Updated tablet chromium version which now supports mp3.
• Updated Dissonance voice chat plugin.
• Voice chat is now working on Linux again.
• Updated Lua Moonsharp to 2.0.
• Lots of code refractoring and cleanup to facilitate faster updates in the future.
• Reduced ram usage, by lower the number of variants for our custom DXT5nm Standard shader.
• Optimized a lot of physics code to use non gc allocing functions.
• Greatly sped up updating Workshop mods on initial load.
• Optimized the netcode to be more performant on the cpu.

Translation

• Added translations for most common languages using google translate. Access Language menu via the button in the bottom right of the main menu, or in the menu bar of the Configuration window.
• Added the ability to create your own translations for the default UI and share them on the Workshop.
• Added localization support for your text fields. This allows you to translate your mods for different languages. Example: {en}Hello {fr}Bonjour {de}Hallo

This also works in url fields if you need to change assets based on the language. Example: {en}url1 {fr}url2 Supported languages: [en]English, [zh-cn]Chinese (Simplified), [ru]Russian, [es]Spanish, [pt-br]Portuguese (Brazil), [de]German, [fr]French, [ko]Korean, [pl]Polish, [tr]Turkish, [ja]Japanese, [zh-tw]Chinese (Traditional), [th]Thai, [it]Italian, [pt]Portuguese, [cs]Czech, [hu]Hungarian, [sv]Swedish,
Dutch, [es-419]Spanish (Latin America), [da]Danish, [fi]Finnish, [nb]Norwegian, [ro]Romanian, [uk]Ukrainian, [el]Greek, [vi]Vietnamese, [bg]Bulgarian, [arb] Arabic

Object Tags

New mechanics which allows objects to selectively interact with game systems. If a system (e.g. a hidden zone, a hand zone, etc.) has a tag set, then only objects which share a tag with it will interact with it. Taggable systems:

• Hidden zones
• Randomize zones
• Hand zones
• Layout zones
• Fog-of-War zones
• Scripting zones
• Snap points

Set what tags a object or system has by right-clicking it and selecting Tags from the menu. You may access all tags present at the table via the Modding->Tags window. Added Snap-Point Creation Tags window: new snap points will automatically gain whatever tags you set here.

Zones

Hand, Hidden, and Random zones should perform much faster and no longer slow down the game. Zones now work correctly when there are multiple colliders attached to the same Object. (TODO: LayoutZone and FogOfWarZone) Zones now all have a right-click context menu. Left-click will open the zone-specific menu that used to be on right-click.

Layout Zones

New Zone tool (in the zone tool popout) which allows you to automatically lay out objects (primarily cards) across the table. Deploy like any other zone, then left-click and hit the cog to change its settings. Especially useful for card games in which you lay melds on the table (like Gin) or which have trick-taking (Whist, Bridge, etc.), but can also be used to simply arrange a bunch of objects in a grid without locking them to it. Features include:

• Filter affected objects (face-up/down, non-cards, etc)
• Split/Combine decks.
• Set to Manual Only for one-off arranging.
• Automatic sorting of objects inside groups based on Name, Description, etc.

Layout Zones can triggered by using the Layout Zone tool and left-clicking the zone then hitting the big Layout button, or by right-clicking a object inside a zone it interacts with and selecting the Layout option in its context menu. Mouse pointer shows icon indicating when you are holding an object inside a layout zone: will also show the zone's name if it has one.

Hotseat

• Improved turn transitions.
• Added ability to set player names.
• End Turn button now shows current player instead.
• Added some Misc Settings, detailed below.
• Fixed object visibility.
• Fixed a bunch of bugs in the Lua API relating to Hotseat mode.

General

• Added "Order" option to contextual menu for bags (LIFO, FIFO, and Random).
• Spawn mode now works off objects in the void.
• Picking up objects that are teleported from out bounds now snap to the mouse nicer.
• When cloning/spawning objects you may hold the left mouse button down and move the mouse to spawn multiple objects.
• Buttons will now only appear on Books (i.e. PDF objects) when you hover the mouse over them. This can be disabled in Misc Settings.
• Decks now have a Spread action in the right-click menu; spreads the cards out across the table. Distance between cards is set in Misc Settings.
• NGUI now shows up on objects in the onscreen hand view and optimized it when alt zooming. (XML UI still doesn't work)
• Added description to the tooltip when searching a container.
• Workshop loading wheel above chat is always spinning now when updating.

Lua:

• HandZones are now Objects like everything else.
• Added Lua Hands.getHands() and get/setValue() string Color for Hands Objects.
• Added Lua WebRequest.custom(string url, string method, bool download, string data, Dictionary headers, Closure callbackFunction)
• Lua getAllObjects() is now instantly updated to add or remove when an object is spawned or destroyed.
• Added Hands class to Lua with members (bool enable, bool disable_unused, int hiding) sames as the hands menu.
• Deck no longer populates cards with its script and script state.
• Added tryRandomize(player_color) and tryObjectRandomize(object, player_color) for when someone tries to shuffle/roll/randomize an object. Returning false will prevent randomization.
• Added onBlindfold(player, blindfolded) event, triggered when a player puts on or takes off blindfold.
• Added object.alt_view_angle property: when non-zero the Alt view will use the specified Euler angle to look at the object.
• Added object.getPositionSmooth() and object.getRotationSmooth() return the current smooth move target and null if not moving.
• Added object.isDestroyed() returns true if an object is (or will be) destroyed.
• Deprecated object.tag property: use object.type instead.
• Deprecated filter... commands: now use prefix try.... e.g. tryObjectEnter.
• Added object.memo, a string you can store info in on an object.
• Stopped the ability to spawn Tables using spawnObject.

Added Lua Global classes Tables and Backgrounds. Tables:

• string getTable()
• bool setTable(string name)
• string getCustomURL()
• bool setCustomURL(string url)
• Object getTableObject()
• Backgrounds:
• string getBackground()
• bool setBackground(string name)
• string getCustomURL()
• bool setCustomURL(string url)

Added Info global static class exposing Info menu.

• string name
• string type
• string complexity
• int[] playing_time
• int[] number_of_players
• List tags

Added calls for working with Tags:

• object.getTags() -> Table gets the Tags attached to an object.
• object.setTags(Table tags) sets the Tags attached to an object.
• object.addTag(string label) adds the Tag to the object.
• object.removeTag(string label) removes the Tag from the object.
• object.hasTag(string label) -> bool checks if the object has the Tag.
• object.hasAnyTag() -> bool checks if the object has any Tags.
• object.hasMatchingTag(other) -> bool checks if the other object has a matching Tag with this object.
• scripting_zone.getObjects() will utilize Tags attached to the zone, unless you override with scripting_zone.getObjects(true)
• deck.spread(distance) uses the spread action on the deck.
• getObjectsWithTag(string tag)
• getObjectsWithAnyTags({tag, tag...})
• getObjectsWithAllTags({tag, tag...})

Fixes:

• Fixed network sync bug with Xml UI by adding null check to Xml setAttribute(s) and setValue.
• Fixed object.getSnapPoints() throwing when having no snap points.
• Fixed loading_custom to work with custom decks and cards.
• Fixed object.clone() sound parameter not working.
• Fixed MusicPlayer.playlistIndex to MusicPlayer.playlist_index (old way still works).
• Fixed Grid calls not working over network.
• Fixed Grid.snapping not working.
• Fixed showHotkeyConfig working over network. Added color parameter; dialog will be shown to that player.
• Fixed onObjectRandomize and onRandomize not returning correct player colour.
• Fixed Physics.cast not returning list in correct order.
• Fixed Group action ignoring tryObjectEnter and tryObjectEnterContainer.

System Console

• Added commands for options detailed in Misc Settings above.
• Added language, language_... commands for selecting current language.
• Added translation_export, translation_import, translation_for... commands for working on translations.
• Added translate command to translate an English term into the current language (if TTS knows it).
• Added hotseat_name_..., hotseat_start_turn, and hotseat_end_turn commands.
• Added pointer_position command.
• Added lift_height and rotation_degrees commands.
• Added action_spread and action_layout commands.

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... Check out Dawn of the Zeds here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/610705/Tabletop_Simulator__Dawn_of_the_Zeds/

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.

Summary:

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. Workshop tags have been revamped and have many more options making it easier to find your games. Custom Card shapes have been added hex, circle, and square. Spawning overhaul where you can see a ghost preview where the object will appear. And much more all covered below!

General

• The game will now show a ghost object where your object will drop when snapping to grid or snap points.
• You may still drag components out of the component window, but if you click one instead you will enter Spawn mode. Click the left mouse to place a copy of that object. Hit right mouse or escape to end.
• New context menu for objects: Clone. Puts you in Spawn mode for that object.
• When holding an object, hitting escape will return it to where you picked it up.
• Snap points are now editable for promoted players.
• New feature where when you press a number key while holding a bunch of objects it will arrange it in a grid based on the number of rows specified with the number key.
• Settings added for various new features present in the patch.
• Misc setting added to make containers (decks, bags, etc.) respond to the first number typed on them.

Server

• Added new server types public, friends, and invite.
• Public servers are just how you are used to anyone can join, but you can have an optional password.
• Friends server means only friends can join, no password required.
• Invite server means only people you choose to invite can join the game, no password required.

• Server browser now shows the total number of people in-game.
• Fixed connecting to a new game while you are already in one.

Line Tool

• Moved measurement options from Misc menu to the Line Tool button.
• Added Grid units alongside Inches and Metric, Will measure according to the size of the grid.
• Added 2D/3D modes. In 2D all measurements are flattened to the horizontal plane. In 3D height is included.
• Added ruler mode: Auto or Free. In Auto mode the ruler will take advantage of objects you hover over, snapping to them where appropriate. You can hold down ctrl to override this behaviour.
• Objects now have a Measure Movement toggle, which if enabled will mean whenever that object is picked up (and you are in Auto mode) a measurement will be started.
• When in Auto mode, if you start measuring while holding an object (by holding tab), it will measure from the pickup location.
• You may hold down shift while measuring to view the orthogonal axes (2D mode) or the flat distance + height (3D mode). Holding ctrl at the same time will show the other.
• Fixed being stuck in Line Tool after using it while holding an object.

Line Tool: Options

Line Tool: Object Snapping

Line Tool: Orthogonal Components

Line Tool: Flat Distance + Height

Pure Mode

• Added Pure Mode, a simpler view of the table, tunable in the Theme Editor. Supports all built-in tables.

• Hands Zones are much snappier with their movement.
• Fixed issue where object you were holding would go below objects in your Hand Zone.
• Fixed sub components of cards/dominoes/pachisi (drawings, decals, attached objects, etc.) not hiding in hands.

Spectator View

• Picture-in-Picture window now allows you to interact with the game through it.
• For example, you could set it to look at a dice, and whenever you want you can hover over the dice and hit R to roll.

Physics

• Greatly improved the reliability of physics collisions especially for thin objects.
• Consolidated physics settings under a new menu called Physics.
• Gravity slider goes twice as high now for stronger gravity.
• Cards collider thickness is now the actual size instead of being much thicker.
• Cards will no longer stack if their scale differ by 15%.
• Made it so you have to be more precise when placing objects into a bag / infinite bag to reduce accidents especially on large objects.
• Revamped teleporting when objects fall off the table to now place it floating at the edge of the table where it flew off to reduce disruption.

Tags

• Revamped the workshop tags with a bunch more and now available in the new Options -> Info menu.
• These tags are now embedded in the save file and will be in the future searchable and filterable in-game just like the Workshop.
• New tags categories: Type, Game Category, Complexity, Number of Players, Play Time, and Assets.

UI

• Add an all search to the games menu.
• Objects menu revamp completed by merging all Object Menus into the same menu that is searchable.

• Fixed when having the Components -> Boards open causing snap in the middle of the table.

New Searchable Objects Menu

Custom Objects

• Added Custom Card/Deck shape types: Rectangle (Rounded), Rectangle, Hex (Rounded), Hex, Circle.
• Added Stand Up toggle to Custom Token, that stands the token up like a meeple.
• Optimized Custom Token to load instantly for images with no transparency.
• When updating an Custom Object, if there exists any objects with matching custom object properties, a popup will appear and ask if you also want to update them.

Lua

• Updated Color and Vector types: https://github.com/Berserk-Games/Tabletop-Simulator-Lua-Classes
• object.measure_movement - access the Measure Movement object toggle.
• Vector held_position_offset - position offset from pointer, lift height and object bounds still modify distance from surface.
• Vector held_rotation_offset - rotation offset from pointer. This in combination with held_spin_index and held_flip_index determine rotation.
• int held_spin_index - 0-23 value, 15 degrees Y axis. Upside down is 12, right side up is 0. Changes when a player rotates.
• int held_flip_index - 0-23 value, 15 degrees Z or X axis depending on the object. Face down is 12, face up is 0. Changes when a player hits flip or alt + rotate.
• Vector pick_up_position - The position the object was picked up at.
• Vector pick_up_rotation - The rotation the object was picked up at.
• bool held_reduce_force - When the Object collides with something while moving this is automatically enabled and reduces the movement force.
• Added Object.getData() and spawnObjectData({ data = Object.GetData()}), which is the same thing as getJson() and spawnObjectJson() except that is working with tables and you don't have to convert in Lua which should be more performant.
• Added type to getCustomObject() from cards.
• Fixed filterObjectEnter and filterObjectEnterContainer not working while game is loading.

System Console

• Added action_cut, action_deal, action_draw, action_flip, action_group, action_lock, action_randomize, action_rotate, action_search, action_split, action_state_next, action_state_prev commands, which will trigger that action on the currently selected object.
• For example, you could do bind f action_search, and then would open the search window.
• Fixed edit command messing up {` `} characters.

Hey everyone, hope you are all doing ok in these crazy times! We have another great update for you guys today that adds a brand new tool called Attach which lets you stick objects together. We also have a much needed performance optimization on the server browser due to all the new players joining us! Welcome everyone new hope you all our enjoying the game! We have a ton more below in the full patch notes.

Attach Tool

• The new tool is used for combining objects into a single object.
• This attach is in a parent child relationship where one object is the owner of the other.
• Want to add modular pieces to your figures? This is the perfect tool.
• You might be thinking this sounds like the old joint tool but this lets you merge objects and even put them in and out of bags.
• This is also much more performant compared to the old joint tool because it's just one object with multiple visuals combined.

Combine Tools

• Includes the Attach, Fixed Joint (old joint tool), Hinge Joint, and Springs Joint tools.
• Exposes the Hinge Joint and Spring Joint tools without being hidden in a menu.
• Hinge joints are just like a door, but they can even have motors!
• Springs joints are just like sound objects are connect with a spring.
• All joint properties can be configured in the right click contextual menu -> Joints.

Server Browser

• Improved Server Browser performance.
• Server Browser window is now resizable.
• Server Browser search text is now persistent.
• Server Browser search now looks in country codes if you use square brackets, i.e. [GB]
• Fixed some search bugs in Server Browser (also, see below).

Search

Search inputs are now more powerful (applies to Server Browser and in-game Search dialog).

• Ignores case and inflections: A and will both be found by a.
• Will filter to entries which match all space-separated words in search.
• Use comma to add another set of words.
• Start a word with - to negate it, removing any entries which it matches.
• Negation only applies to the set of words it is grouped with.
• A set of words which are all negated will apply to every set of words.

Example: gloom -fantasy, scythe, -casual will find any servers with "gloom" (but not "fantasy") or "scythe", so long as they do not contain "casual".

Spectator View

• Fixed alt-zoomed objects not displaying on spectator view.
• Fixed objects in hidden zones showing when view restricted.
• Spectator Zoom may appear at cursor or at a fixed position.
• Spectator Zoom may be restricted.
• See System Console section for details.

VR

• Changed Wall Mode to Tilt Mode, and added Tilt Angle setting.

General

• Special thanks to modzero for helping us track down a security vulnerability that we hotfixed.
• Added Drag Selectable toggle to components: when disabled the object will not be included in a drag selection (unless SHIFT held).
• Alt-zoomed books (i.e. PDFs) may now be page-turned with the mouse wheel.
• Split Zoom Toggle key binding into Zoom Toggle and Pan actions.
• Alt-Zoom may now be fixed in place on the screen instead of following pointer (see System Console section below)
• Made collapsed context menus more obvious.
• Added entry in Misc settings to set size of collapsed menus.
• Objects which can go in hand will be drawable by hitting 1 on them, like cards etc. Can be disabled in Misc settings.
• Fixed context menus being stuck.
• Fixed turn indicator not displaying.
• Fixed scaling on custom figurine colliders.
• Fixed BBCode showing up in steam/discord rich presence.
• Fixed some UI theming issues.

Lua

UI

• Fixed a bunch of bad interactions between 2D XML UI, 3D XML UI, the normal UI, and invisible objects. Everything should now behave as you would expect.

Object values

Allows objects to behave similarly to poker chips: when set, the object will display its value when hovered over, and if multiple objects which share a flag are selected the total value will be displayed.

• object.value - integer value of object.
• object.value_flags - flags for object values.

Book objects (e.g. PDFs)

• book.page_offset - Offset virtual book numbers are from numbers rendered on pages.
• book.getPage(offsetPageNumbering = false) - Get current page. If offsetPageNumber is true then factor in the page_offset.
• setPage(page, offsetPageNumbering = false) - Set current page.
• setHighlight(x1, y1, x2, y2) - Set highlight box on current page.
• clearHighlight() - Clear highlight.

Browser objects (e.g. Tablet)

• browser.url - URL which currently wants to display.
• browser.pixel_width - The pixel width the browser is virtually rendering to.

Attach Tool

• To go along with the new Attach tool there is new Object functions available to create these bindings in script.
• object.addChild(Object) - The Object supplied as param is destroyed and becomes a dummy Object child.
• object.removeChild(index) - Use getChildren to find out the index property.
• object.removeChildren() - Detaches the children of this Object.
• object.destroyChildren() - Destroys the children objects without detaching them.
• object.getChildren() - Returns a table in the same format as getObjects() for containers.

Grid Global Class

• Grid options menu is now available to scripting as Grid.show_lines = true
• int type
• bool show_lines
• Color color
• float opacity
• bool thick_lines
• float offsetX
• float offsetY
• float sizeX
• float sizeY

Misc

• object.drag_selectable - Drag Selectable toggle of object.
• object.getSelectingPlayers() - Returns table of players currently selecting the object.
• object.addToPlayerSelection(player_color) - Add object to player's selection.
• object.removeFromPlayerSelection(player_color) - Remove object from player's selection.
• player.clearSelectedObjects() - Clears a player's current selection.

Fixes:

• Fixed log not outputing to external API.

System Console

• cam_load, cam_load_zero, cam_save, cam_save_zero - Load and save camera positions.
• dev_autoconfirm_browser_url_change - Disables browser page load confirmation. Use with caution!
• hand_component_hotkey_draw - Controls whether objects which can go in hands will respond to the draw 1 hotkey.

• ui_games_window - Visibiliy of Games window.
• ui_server_browser_search - search text in Server Browser.
• ui_server_browser_window - Visibility of Server Browser window.

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/

Ragnark has come, and its the end of the world! Its the Vikings last chance to go down in a blaze of glory and secure their place in Valhalla at Odins side! For a Viking there are many pathways to glory. You can invade and pillage the land for its rewards, crush your opponents in epic battles, fulfill quests, increase your clan's stats, or even die gloriously either in battle or from Ragnark, the ultimate inescapable doom. https://store.steampowered.com/app/610700/Tabletop_Simulator__Blood_Rage/ 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. https://store.steampowered.com/app/610701/Tabletop_Simulator__Boss_Monster/ Only the host needs to own the DLC for everyone at the table to play

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.

Changes:

• 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.

Known Issues:

• 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.

Performance Optimizations:

• 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 Improvments:

• DLC are no longer included in the game install and will be downloaded when played the first time.
• This has reduce the install size of the game by 4 gigs.
• We can also now update and add new DLCs without having to update the game.
• Can now have multiple DLCs loaded up at once.

AssetBundle Materials:

• Added support for loading AssetBundle materials into any Custom Object Image slot.
• Create holographic playing cards or add normal maps to your custom dice!
• Works by assigning your material to an AssetBundle and then exporting like normal.

General Improvements:

• Custom Card added so you can create cards one at a time.
• Added /rules to global chat which opens a link to the rules on our knowledge base.
• Update DLC Three Cheers for master with scripted components.
• Disabled being able to load local files with the Tablet due to javascript exploits.
• Opening urls now only open steam links in the overlay and all others open in your default browser.
• Secured many networking related functions from hackers.
• Added .json to Steam Cloud upload file types.
• Steam Cloud now supports uploading files greater than 100mb.

Lua:

• Added filterObjectEnter(object) event: Place it on an object, and it will prevent any objects from being able to enter it. For example, placing it on a deck will not allow cards to enter it. If you return true in the function, the item will be allowed in.

  XML UI:

  
  
  • Updated plugin to the latest version.
  • Can now get the click button for events like onClick with the value param passed.
  • Xml UI image assets are now no longer compressed to make them look nicer.
  • Xml UI errors now print to chat, to make it easier to debug Xml UI.

  Caching Improvement:

  
  
  • 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

  VR

  
  
  • Added a warning message when you do not have any control bindings (typically because you are using unsupported hardware), instructing you on how to set the bindings up in SteamVR.
  • Fixed objects not clumping when you shake the controller.
  • Fixed stack/deck grab not working with laser pointer.

  Spectator Mode

  
  Spectator mode now works when you use a different resolution than your main display. It has had an overhaul, and now works using these commands:
  • displays - Lists all available displays. ID 0 will always be your main game screen.
  • spectator_window - Turn on to activate the spectator window.
  • spectator_activate_with_resolution - Use instead of above to specify display, resolution, etc.
  • vr_spectator_replaces_main_window - In VR, controls whether spectator mode makes its own window or just uses the desktop mirror.

  • spectator_camera_attachment - Lets you specify a component or pointer to attach camera to.
  • spectator_camera_follow_attachment - When ON the camera will follow the above object.
  • spectator_camera_dolly - When camera is following an object, it will be offset this far in the direction it is facing.
  • spectator_camera_offset_position - When camera is following an object it will be offset by this X Y Z.
  • spectator_camera_offset_rotation - When camera is following an object its facing will be offset by thus X Y Z.
  • spectator_camera_load - Set the camera to a saved camera position.
  • spectator_camera_load_zero - As above, but the position is zero-indexed (useful when coupled with certain commands like Add).
  • spectator_camera_smooth_on_load - Whether smoothing is applied during above.
  • spectator_camera_target - Lets you specify a component or pointer for the camera to track.
  • spectator_camera_tracking - When ON the camera will track the above object.

  • grabbed - Equals the component you are currently holding.
  • hovered - Equals the component you are hovering over.
  For example: find -name "Blue Player Token" highlight <> If you want to set up a binding/alias/button in a script then you need to start the line with a >, surround the variable with < and > instead, and use exec. >bind right_control exec spectator_camera_attachment

Oh my! More optimizations are always nice, as the community continues to produce fantastic and more technically complex creations. But if youre hungry for a new feature, we hope youll enjoy the new Video Images, which allow you to use videos as textures for assets. Plus, a long requested feature: Spectator Mode! Whatever your taste, we think this patch has a little something for everybody. As usual, included in the patch is our latest DLC: Deck Quest!

DLC - Deck Quest

https://store.steampowered.com/app/610699/

• Deck Quest is now available for $7.99 with a 20% launch discount.
• Scripted setup to help get into the game quickly.
• Select your seats and click the Shuffle button in the middle of the table.

Loading Improvements:

• Overall loading should be much faster and smoother than in the past!
• New image caching folder Images RAW that stores .rawt files to speed up loading by up to 20 times.
• General optimization to use less memory when loading your games up.
• Greatly reduced custom image ram usage by ~50%.
• AssetBundles now load in async and with less stutters.
• Loading generates much less garbage for the garbage collector to clean up to reduce stutters.
• Fixed normal maps for Custom Models not working correctly and being slow.
• Better error handling when trying to load assets with an unsupported file type.
• Added CMYK JPG detection to avoid game crash.

Video Images:

https://giant.gfycat.com/RightJointAchillestang.webm

• Enjoy animated textures for you assets or play jigsaw with animated video!
• Import videos (.mp4 and .webm) into the image slot on any custom asset.
• Note: Linux does not support .mp4.

Graphics:

• New sharpen post processing to enhance the overall clarity of the game.
• Configuration graphic changes are instant now without having to hit apply.

Improvements:

• Reduced CPU usage when lots of objects are loaded up.
• Added game load time to system console.
• Optimized DLC Cosmic by removing all the extra scripting zones from each expansion.
• Added console commands rewind_interval and unload_interval.

Scripting:

There's now a way to interact with Unity's built in components using this new API. You can control all aspects of your assetbundles for example changing the light settings, all from Lua. You can read more about it on the API page. self.getComponentInChildren("Light").set("intensity", 20) Object and GameObject:

• getComponent(name) return Component
• getComponents(optional name) return Component[]
• getComponentInChildren(name) return Component
• getComponentsInChildren(optional name) return Component[]
• getChild(name) return GameObject
• getChildren() return GameObject[]
• name return string

Component:

• game_object return GameObject
• get(varName) return value
• getVars() return Dictionary
• set(varName, value) return bool
• name return string

Scripting Fixes:

• Fixed Component UI menu triggering onObjectDestroy lua events.
• Fixed XML UI syncing issue for connecting players.

Spectator Mode

Spectator mode provides a second fullscreen viewport to be used for streaming / recording. The UI can be shown or hidden on it, and its camera can follow your own or be set to any stored position. Spectator mode requires a second monitor to display on. If you only have one physical monitor then you can use something like spacedesk.net to get around this limitation. Spectator mod is controlled via the following console commands:

• spectator_window - turn on to activate the spectator window
• spectator_show_ui - whether the UI is displayed on the spectator window
• spectator_camera_follow - when enabled spectator camera will follow your view
• spectator_camera_load - set spectator camera to a stored position
• spectator_camera_load_zero - same as above, but zero-indexed (so 0 = slot 1, 1 = slot 2, etc.)
• spectator_camera_smooth_position - factor used to smooth spectator camera movement
• spectator_camera_smooth_rotation - factor used to smooth spectator camera rotation
• spectator_camera_smooth_on_load - when enabled smoothing will be applied when loading camera positions as well as when following player
• spectator_post_processing - whether post-processing effects are applied to the spectator window
• vr_spectator_replaces_main_window - in VR, controls whether spectator mode makes its own window or just uses the desktop mirror.

Example autoexec.cfg: +spectator_window -spectator_show_ui +spectator_camera_follow spectator_camera_smooth_position 0.1 spectator_camera_smooth_rotation 0.1 # set right control key to toggle player follow bind right_control !spectator_camera_follow # set space to make spectator camera follow player while it is held down # @ = silence command in console bind +space @+spectator_camera_follow bind -space @-spectator_camera_follow # set keys to jump to specific camera positions bind comma spectator_camera_position 1 bind period spectator_camera_position 2 bind semicolon spectator_camera_position 3 # set right shift key to cycle through the first 3 camera positions alias next_camera add spectator_camera_position_from_zero 1 3 bind right_shift next_camera

Fixes:

• Fixed memory leaks with custom assets when changing urls on an already loaded custom object.
• Fixed ui search overlapping issues.
• Fixed with hackers being able to delete objects without being admin.
• Fixed hand zones not working on colliders that where child objects.
• Fixed flick tooltip showing garbage.

v11.2.1 Custom Model Loading: Speed up loading of cached models by up to 20 times with new .rawm format and "Models Raw" folder. This uses the same principle as the what we've done to the images to speed up loading of your .obj files. Spectator Mode: Added `spectator_activate_with_resolution` command. Fixed spectator window freezing after returning to main menu. Fixed post processing on spectator window. Fixes: Fixed scroll bar in Configuration > UI > MISC. Fixed normals maps not working with non square images. Fixed issues with XML UI rich text.

[ 2019-04-04 00:00:07 CET ] [ Original post ]

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.

Jigsaw Puzzle Improvements

• 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.

Improved Fog of War

• 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.

Miscellaneous Settings Menu

Some new features, as they are worked on, do not have their own UI menu yet. We've got them collected in the "MISC" setting menu!

• 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.

General Improvements

• 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.
• The on-screen hand interaction area is now much smaller if nothing is currently in the hand to avoid accidental interactions.
• 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.

Scripting

• Added group(table). This allows you to group a table of objects, in the same way the "G" key would for a player! It returns a list of the grouped objects.
• 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".

You can find details and examples for these, and all of Tabletop Simulator's functions, in the Tabletop Simulator API.

Bugs Fixed

• Scripting can now properly read whose turn it is (according to the Turns system).
• Fixed custom objects in scripting zones failing to trigger events.
• Fixed items that are hidden being revealed for a frame when switching states.
• Prevented "scaling permission" pop-up when using Vector paint.
• Removed Grey player's ability to delete notebook pages.
• Improved snapping for very small and very large objects.
• Thief animation fixed. (poor little guy gets sick during Unity changes for some reason)
• Fixed shuffling deck from right-click menu not triggering OnObjectRandomize.
• Fixed collisions trigger when loading custom objects.

VR

Keep tabs on VR improvements on the discussion page.

VR Improvements

• Updated to SteamVR action+binding 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.
• Orient Object action should now work on all card-like objects (dominos, mahjong tiles, etc). Also works on jigsaw pieces: will rotate them to next 90-degree angle.
• Fixed snap points.
• Made resize room visual effect less opaque.
• Fixed non-hands objects being picked up by VR virtual hand.
• Fixed tooltips & icons on Oculus Rift.
• Pad bindings now use compass notation (i.e. vr_left_pad_north = left controller, up on pad)

VR Settings

• Physical UI Screen, Attached UI Screen, UI Scale - Control how the VR UI Screen is displayed.
• Display VR Players - Can select whether other VR players are visible (off, hands-only, hands+headset)
• Wall mode - will rotate room so the table is vertical.
• Align Zoomed Object - Zoom object now matches rotation of the object it is displaying.
• Grabbing Hides Gem - Hides controller gem when holding on object.
• Hover Tooltips - Display UI hover tooltips above controller.
• Interface Click Threshold - When the interface click action is bound to an analog input it will use this value.
• Laser Activation Threshold - When laser activation is bound to an analog input it will use this value.
• Laser Beam Thickness, Laser Dot Size - Control how big the laser pointer is.
• Left Tool Hotkeys & Right Tool Hotkeys - Bind the default tool select hotkeys to the pad.
• Tooltips Action Enabled - Can be turned off here to disable tooltips (instead of having to unbind the action).

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.

Fog of War:

• 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.

Credit to B.I.O.S. for the table.

Play Area:

• 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.

Improved Line Tool:

• 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?!

Additive Load:

When in the Game menu, when clicking the 3 dots that appear in the upper right of a Game when you go to select it, you will see a new option: Additive Load.

• 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.

New Knowledge Base:

The new Knowledge Base.

• 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.

VR Improvements:

• 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

Scripting Changes:

Not as much here as in some other patches. But we made sure you had access to some of the new toys.

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

Bug Fixes:

• 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.

Drawing Tool:

• Sharper less blurry look.
• Added line, box, and circle tool.
• Can now control thickness using +/-.

• Tutorial now always uses Museum backdrop (as it has good text contrast)

Scripting:

Updates to the new Wait class:
• Added repetitions to Wait.time to better emulate Timer. Wait.time(func, time, number_repetitions).
• Using -1 will cause infinite repetitions
• Improvements to stop() so it should work more as expected. Returns from getObject and getStates improved to a common standard, includes:
• Name and Nickname
• Description
• Lua Script and Lua Script State 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

• 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. New Event
• onObjectEnterContainer has long been a requested event, and it is now available!

VR:

• New virtual hand feature that lets you interact with your hand just like if it was attached to your left controller.
• Click trigger while holding a card to straighten it and hide it from other players. Click again to toggle.

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.
• If accepted all players will disconnect and then have the choice to reconnect to the new host in the exact same setup and layout they were just playing in.

Scripting Improvement:

Lua
• putObject() now returns an Object.
• Using it to combine two cards will return an object reference to the newly formed deck.
• 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
• Contains notebook and set/getNotes functions.
• Deprecated the old "Base" versions of these functions. New class Wait

[ 2018-05-25 19:42:44 CET ] [ Original post ]

This patch includes creating Custom UIs using Xml giving you the power of Unity's UI system with an easy to use format. We also have a brand new API documentation that is much more feature complete with examples and better looks. Can be found here: https://api.tabletopsimulator.com/ Read about the new VR Controls at the bottom of the patch notes!

Custom UI

• Custom UI added using Xml.
• Gives the power of Unity's UI system.
• Docs can be found here: https://api.tabletopsimulator.com/ui/introUI/

Scripting

• object.randomize (or shuffle/etc) now returns 'true' if shuffle occurred. For example, a deck currently being searched by a player will not shuffle, so 'false' is returned.
• Added search events: onObjectSearchStart, onObjectSearchEnd, onSearchStart, onSearchEnd
• Button callbacks now have a third parameter which will be set to true if the button was right-clicked or long-pressed.
• createButton now lets you specify 'hover_color' and 'press_color'
• Added getJSON() to Object and spawnObjectJSON() this is the same format as Objects are saved in the save files.
• Turns class added to let you controls the turns menu from scripting.
• Event onPlayerTurn(player) added.

Voice Chat

• Team icon is now working.
• Updated to latest version of voice chat.
• Fixed more bugs with Voice Chat.

Fixes

• Fixed items appearing faded in Search window.
• Fixed Search window not working in VR.
• Fixes to cosmic encounter.

VR Controls Update

The goal is to provide a more intuitive VR experience; closer to how you would play a board game IRL. This is still in development, feel free to leave us your feedback about how it feels! To enable the old control scheme type +vr_controls_original into the system console.

Note

Various commands in the system console govern vr behaviour: type help vr to see them. For example, turning 'vr_sticky_grab' on will mean you do not have to hold the trigger to maintain grip on an object; instead you press to grab, then press again to release. If you want these commands to persist then add them to your autoexec (type 'edit autoexec' and enter them there). You can quickly switch between old and new controls if you do something like 'bind right_control !vr_controls_original' (...you can then hit right control to toggle)

Changes

Laser pointer now turns on and off as the player touches the touch pad, and is oriented like a pointer rather than a gun (it now matches the default steam keyboard laser). Selection box now drawn from controller position instead of laser position.

Controls

Touchpad when not holding an object: Center = click (buttons, UI, etc.) Up = teleport Left & Right = Mapped tool. Hold left or right to bind current tool to that button. Touchpad when holding an object: Center = flip Left & Right = Rotate Grip buttons now let you move (holding one controller) or rotate/scale (holding both). Holding any grip button will display control layout. Holding menu button will reset your position. Trigger now used exclusively to interact with 3D world

Advanced

The touchpad controls when not holding an object are set using the console bind command, and can be overwritten, so you can bind any command you want to the touchpad if you wish (left, right, and up if you disable teleport; down and center are reserved). For example: 'bind vr_right_pad_left !vr_laser_constant' will toggle the laser on and off when you hit left on the right controller's touchpad. You can use -, +, and ! bind prefixes to bind to press, release, and long press respectively. Use 'vr_unbind_all' before binding your own to remove the default bindings. Example autoexec -vr_controls_original vr_unbind_all bind +vr_right_pad_left tool_grab bind -vr_right_pad_left tool_revert bind +vr_right_pad_right tool_paint bind -vr_right_pad_right tool_revert This will mean for the right controller, as long as you hold the left pad you will be in grab mode, and as long as you hold the right pad you will be in paint mode.

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.

Onscreen Hands

• 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.

Network Indicators

• 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.

DLC - Darkest Night Improvements

• 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.

UI Improvements

• 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.

Scripting Improvements

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

Fixes

• 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.

Networking Rewrite

• 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.

Voice Chat 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.

Configuration Menu & UI Improvements

• 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.

Scripting Improvements

• Improved 3d UI Interactions.
• Fixed editInput() bugs.
• Fixed scripting zone bug with cameras

DLC - The Great Dinosaur Rush

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.

3D UI Interaction Improvements

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

Improvements

• Optimized hand performance with lots of objects.

Fixes

• 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.

Other Additions

• 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.

Linux Troubleshooting

• 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.

[ 2017-08-28 01:18:06 CET ] [ Original post ]

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!

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).

This is a big update in that we updated our engine to a new version of Unity. This gives us better cpu multi-threading utilization for better performance in scenes with lots of objects. The game should overall be on a better foundation than ever before. We’re happy to announce our latest DLC, Three Kingdoms Redux by Starting Player is now live! Three Kingdoms Redux is a board game that seeks to recreate the tripartite between the states of Wei, Wu and Shu. You assume the role of one of the three lords – Cao Cao leading Cao Wei, Sun Jian leading Eastern Wu or Liu Bei leading Shu Han. And for our VR users, rejoice! Oculus Touch support is now officially here! VR performance in general should also be improved up to 30% faster. Check it out and let us know how it is. Of course, there’s still more to come as well! And lastly, our tutorial series is currently undergoing a revamp since we’ve changed so much and added new features. Here is the first episode in the new 2017 Tutorial Series - Basic Controls. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGPdpGn0DCM

This update we’ve added in one of the most requested improvements to Tabletop Simulator, 64-bit! If you are unfamiliar with what this means for the game: more stability thanks to being able to use all system memory, faster mod loading, and support for larger & crazier mods. We mentioned in the last update that we would have to drop support for Windows 32-bit (0.8% of our players), but we have good news! We were able to create both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows builds of the game and Steam should provide you with the proper version of the game. But, if you are having any trouble playing the game after the update try reinstalling the game to force it grab the correct version. Overall this patch was all updating all the old and much needed items of repair to make the game overall more stable, smooth, and perform better.

New DLC Indonesia

Indonesia by Splotter Spellen is now available on Steam for $6.99 with a 10% discount! Once players are seated, pressing the "Shuffle First Turn" animated button will randomly select a player order and place colored tokens onto the board. Decks will be shuffled. The button will then switch to allowing you to raise or lower hidden zones over the player mats, to suit player preference.

64-bit Support

64-bit support added for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Window 32-bit will still exist, while Mac and Linux will be 64-bit only. Better game stability due to being to able to use all system RAM. Create larger and more detailed mods due to the ~3 gb limit being removed. Faster loading time for mods with larger images. Less stutters when loading images.

Unity Engine Upgrade to 5.3.8

Overall improved fps. Better game stability due to fixes on Unity’s end. Fixed https ssl loading issue for Mac and Linux. Host of other small improvement and fixes.

New Tablet Browser

Migrated from Awesomium to Embedded Browser. Works on Mac now. More update to date browser will cause less issue loading websites. Perform better compared to the old implementation. 64-bit support.

New Steamworks Wrapper

Migrated from Ludosity to Steamworks .net. More up-to-date feature set. Ability to add new Steam related features in the future. Better Steam related stability. 64-bit support.

Fixes

Fixed searching a deck and cards weren’t being scaled correctly to match the deck. Fixed scrolling or opening a folder the triple dots wouldn't appear on menu buttons.

[ 2017-04-14 19:33:56 CET ] [ Original post ]

This update focused on a lot of behind the scenes stuff that will really help the way we test and release patches in the future. We’re also looking into getting Tabletop Simulator upgraded to 64 bit as only .8% of our player base is on 32 bit. We will not be offering both, so once we upgrade to 64 bit, we will phase out 32 bit support. So if you are on a 32 bit OS we recommend looking to upgrade. There is still a lot of work to getting Tabletop Simulator 64 bit, but the advantages of using more than ~3 gigs of ram will greatly improve the game’s stability and allow you guys to be more creative with your mods.

Happy Halloween! It’s that time of year again and while this is a small update, we’ve got some great things in the works. First up, our latest DLC, Darkrock Ventures by Magic Meeple Games is now available with a 10% launch discount! Darkrock Ventures is a worker placement board game about deep-space asteroid mining. Each player takes control of their own Asteroid Mining operation with little more than a ship and a skeleton crew. Corporate Sponsors are assigned to give each player some resources or credits to start the game with and then it is a race to extract as much wealth from the Asteroid as you can before the game ends when the Asteroid is nearly depleted. Our next focus will be on overhauling the weaker parts of our UI. Here’s a sneak peek of what’s to come. This isn’t complete yet, but you’ll have a menu just like this for your Workshop Mods and Saves as well. And the game you are hovering over will stand out a bit more, like in the gif below. Let us know what you think!
It may be some time until our next update, as we are finally getting our game dev studio all situated in Austin, TX. If you’re a game developer in Austin and would like to work with us, please send your resume to business@berserk-games.com.

VR Support is here! We’re happy to announce that the first iteration of VR with the HTC Vive is now live. Please remember that VR is currently in alpha, so we could use all the testing we can get. Post your feedback on our official forums or the new VR sub-forum on Steam. When you start up Tabletop Simulator, you will get a pop up box so you can choose whether to play in VR mode or the normal mode. VR + PC users can play together no problem! We’re also happy that our latest DLC, Zombicide, is now released! Zombicide is a fun and easy game with cool miniatures in an archetypical, popular and comics-inspired environment. Ambiance is constantly balanced between “beat’em up” and “survival horror” as survivors keep switching from prey to predators. Humor and gloom happily marry in a zombie-fest. Remember to subscribe to our newsletter to get the latest news and updates. We send out a newsletter just once a month.

VR HTC Vive Support

• This support is considered an alpha test, we are getting it out early so we can get feedback as soon as possible.
• Note: Mods with tons of assets might lag the game enough to make them unplayable with VR, we cannot ensure a smooth experience on mods.
• All of our content including DLCs should run fine on the recommended VR specs everyone is used to.
• Not everything is working correctly including (3D UI interactions, Any of the Tools, Tooltips, Highlighting, etc.)
• Test it out and post all feedback, suggestions and issues on our forums.

VR Controls

You can picked up objects two ways, either using the laser pointer or picking up like you would in real life.

While holding an object you can swap between the two methods (laser or held) by pressing the grip button.

If you want a closer look at an object, hover over the object and press the grip button (ALT Zoom).

The virtual dpad has 5 actions mapped to it: Flip (Down), Rotate Left (Left), Rotate Right (Right), Raise / Randomize (Up), and Teleport (Center).

All dpad actions besides teleport can be used when holding or hovering over an object(s).

Teleporting is done by holding down center and then using the trigger to teleport to the destination.

Box selection to pick up multiple items can be done by dragging a box using the trigger (Highlighting not yet implemented).

The menu button can be used to bring up the escape menu or the contextual menu when hovering over an object.

Currently, you’ll have to use a keyboard for any typing (inputting passwords, etc).

Zombicide DLC

• Our latest game Zombicide by Cool Mini or Not is now released as DLC.
• The regular price is $9.99 but there is a 30% launch discount for the week.
• 1-6 players, 14 & up.
• Like all our DLCs, only the host needs to own the game for everyone else to play.
• The “Gizmo-Tron 9000” on the table uses states to add various missions on the mission board to help set up your games. Hover over it for info.

Superfight DLC

• Updated Superfight to have a proper theme like all of our other DLCs.
• 2 extra seats were added to allow up to 10 players.
• Counters added to the table to keep score easily.
• Active player markers “Champion” & “Challenger” added to go with the theme.

Lua Scripting Improvements

• Added getHandObjects() to Player
• Added onObjectPickedUp() event
• Added onObjectDropped() event
• Fixed issue with Lua interactable not working on clients.

Workshop Upload/Update Improvements

• Automatically subscribe to a mod you uploaded and download it right away.
• Automatically download the update for a mod you just updated.

Improvements

• Removed Public Searching as it was very buggy all around. The new private search was meant to replace the old one.
• Removed physics explosion being possible if moving an object quickly through another, then dropping it.
• Added an error message if a user tries to use an image larger than 10k.
• Optimized network traffic for syncing pointer positions.

Welcome to The Scoop, our regular community update for Tabletop Simulator and Berserk Games!

Dev Chat

It's been awhile since our last issue of The Scoop and that's because we've been putting out patches nearly every week! So there wasn't really a need for The Scoop when we also have our Monthly Newsletter. But here we are again! It's been a crazy month with lots of patches and lots of nifty new features. Hope you've liked it all! Upgrading to Unity 5 was a smooth transition with hardly any issues, we've added more DLCs, and scripting has been an awesome addition with you guys really making the most of it and creating some really cool things! I can't wait to see what else you guys come up with. The new file browser is amazing and I'm so glad that we added that, giving you more options to choose from. So you can still upload your files to your favorite sites or you can use the file browser to upload it to your Steam Cloud or privately test by using the Local option. Definitely makes testing and checking things much faster and easier all around. What do you think of the new Locked physics mode? Have you tried it yet? In case you didn't read the patch notes, go into your Host → Options menu and in the General tab, you can choose between Full (normal physics), Semi-Lock (reduced physics), and Locked (minimal physics). With the new Locked physics, there is no throwing, clumping, lowering, or pushing and objects will always auto raise. So if you've been wanting to experience Tabletop Simulator without all the physics, then this mode is for you! The following is a gif that demonstrates locked physics mode.
And as promised in the last issue, the last video in our Tutorial Series is now up! This video covers the Steam Workshop - how to use it and how to upload your mods to it. While this is the final episode in this series, there will be other videos that will cover all the new features and other things we may have missed. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSV7aGX8yng Also, don't forget to check out our Knowledge Base. There is a lot of helpful information that you may not have known existed, so be sure to read through it! We're adding things to it all the time, so keep checking back! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DLC News

Next on the horizon, we're happy to announce our partnership with Far Off Games to bring their awesome game Xia: Legends of a Drift System to Tabletop Simulator! Xia is a 3-5 player, sandbox-style, competitive space adventure. Each player starts as a lowly (but hopeful!) captain of a small starship. Players fly their ships about the system completing a variety of Missions, exploring new Sectors, and battling other ships. Captains vie with each other for Titles, riches, and, most importantly, Fame. The most adaptive, risk-taking, and creative players will excel. One captain will rise above the others, surpassing mortality by becoming Legend!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ And if you missed our last announcement, we're also working with Atlas Games and will be bringing Three Cheers For Master to Tabletop Simulator! We're super excited to be working with them! In Three Cheers For Master you’re the minion of an evil overlord. When Master's blue, it's the minions who suffer. As a lieutenant in Master's army — a foreminion — it falls to you to cheer him up. Not the easiest task, even in the best of times.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Future Updates

We value our community's feedback and over this past year we have implemented a lot of features and suggestions that you guys have given us. And we're still listening! Please continue to post your suggestions on our official forums. "VR????!?!??! When will Tabletop Simulator get VR? TTS NEEDS VR! Give us VR!" This has been brought up a LOT recently, especially with the release of the Vive. When will we get VR for Tabletop Simulator? VR has been thought about since our Kickstarter 2 years ago. It was one of our stretch goals and just like you, we'd love for it to happen! That being said, we can't give you a date of when it will be done, because we just don't know! However, we ARE working on it! And so far progress is looking good! We are currently working with the Vive, so that will be our focus right now (Sorry Oculus users!). There's still a lot to do, but it really will be a pretty cool experience all around to get VR into Tabletop Simulator! Since VR is our focus, updates will be slowing down, so don't expect to see any patches in the next few weeks. Stay tuned for more information in the future! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want more?

Another great update has arrived with the addition of our latest DLC, Mr. Game!, that has an awesome themed “family game night” room. We have also added Locked Physics mode, which has been a requested feature for quite some time. While Semi-lock is great for reduced physics, Locked physics takes it even further, giving you more control of placement without having to worry about knocking something over. With the addition of Global Alert Messages, you will get notifications in the top center of your screen for a brief amount of time that lets you know about any errors that occur. If you miss the message, it will still be posted in your chat messages. You can now also get notified when a new update is out or when we need to reboot the master server. Just be sure to be opted into global chat to receive these notices! And last but not least is a major increase to stability as we located and fixed a major memory leak that could have been the cause to a lot of those random crashes.

We have officially made the jump to Unity 5! Thanks to everyone who opted into the beta and tested it out! We received some great feedback and we feel really positive with this update and going forward. Now that we’re on Unity 5, we’ll be investigating on improving the graphic quality of the game with physics based shaders. We want to make sure everything is running smoothly with the upgrade first. We have an awesome new Lua Atom Editor that you can use outside of Tabletop Simulator. You can read more about it below and in our Knowledge Base. We’ve got two more games available as DLC, Tiny Epic Kingdoms by Gamelyn Games and RARRR!! by Ape Games! We’re excited to see what you think! Only the host needs to own any of our DLCs.

Welcome to The Scoop, our regular community update for Tabletop Simulator and Berserk Games!

Dev Chat

Our last couple of updates have focused on upgrading to Unity 5. It's currently in beta, so if you haven't yet, please opt in to the beta by right clicking on Tabletop Simulator in your Steam library, clicking on properties and the Betas tab and in the drop down menu click on "beta - Unity 5". You do not need an access code, just click close and the update will occur. Keep in mind that there is a 550 meg download to switch between the live and beta build.
Minimum requirements Windows XP SP2 Minimum requirements Mac OS X 10.8 Regardless of which build you're on, you can play with everyone in multiplayer. Test out everything and report any issues and bugs either here or here. We plan to officially upgrade to Unity 5 in the live build soon, so the more people who test and give us input, the smoother the transition will be. Thanks! I highly recommend checking it out. The overall performance and optimization & physics stability is fantastic! Also, upgrading to Unity 5 means we're one step closer to VR support! (No ETA, nor which ones we'll be supporting yet.) It's hard to believe how much we've been improving TTS and it will only get better from here! Also, don't forget to check out our Knowledge Base. There is a lot of helpful information that you may not have known existed, so be sure to read through it! We're adding things to it all the time, so keep checking back! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DLC News

We've got awesome news in the DLC sector! We're super excited to announce that we've partnered up with Cool Mini Or Not to bring Zombicide to Tabletop Simulator as DLC! Currently this will only be the core game, but we'll see how it goes! Are there other games by Cool Mini Or Not that you'd like to see in Tabletop Simulator? Let us know! Zombicide is a collaborative game for 1 to 6 players, ages 13 and up. A game can last for 30min (beginner board) to 4 hours (expert board). Each player controls between one (for 6 players) and four (solo game) survivors, human trapped in a zombie-infested town. In fact, “survivors” quickly change to “hunters” to smash zombies through and through. However, the team must constantly maintain a balance between survival and slaughter, for as the zombicide continues, the Danger Level increases, and the infected grow in numbers. Any misstep can turn to disaster. Zombicide is a fun and easy game with cool miniatures in an archetypical, popular and comics-inspired environment. Ambiance is constantly balanced between “beat’em up” and “survival horror” as survivors keep switching from prey to predators. Humor and gloom happily marry in a zombie-fest.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RARRR!! by Ape Games will be coming soon in our next update. Here are some teaser shots so you can see what's to come! Don't these look good?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tiny Epic Kingdoms by Gamelyn Games will also be coming soon! This is the second game from Gamelyn Games that we'll be bringing in after Tiny Epic Galaxies. Here's some teaser shots. Enjoy!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Future Updates

We value our community's feedback and over this past year we have implemented a lot of features and suggestions that you guys have given us. And we're still listening! Please continue to post your suggestions on our official forums. Our main focus is with upgrading Tabletop Simulator to Unity 5. If you didn't notice it yet in the beta branch, hand zones have already been extended so that you can now create hand zones of varying sizes and they won't be capped like they were previously. It's only on Unity 5 though, so be sure to opt in to check it out! Other than that, there are still a lot of things we're working on from before, but until Unity 5 is out, they are currently on the backburner. Stay tuned! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want more?

This update is a two-parter, the first focusing on the changes in the live build (all scripting) and the second is a beta branch you can opt in to, to test out Tabletop Simulator in Unity 5 (with all the regular updates as well)! Please check it out and let us know in this thread or this thread of any bugs, issues, etc that you find. The more people who test it out and let us know of any problems, the faster we can get it working and implemented into the live build. Also, people on Unity 5 will be able to play with those on the live build. This is our initial upgrade to Unity 5 with all the same graphics. We’ll be looking into physics-based rendering in the future. Keep an eye out. Thanks for your help and hope you like the changes!

Live Build

Scripting Improvements

• Fixed getSeatedPlayers(). Deep copy of playerlist now.
• Reordered parameters on setGlobalScriptTable().

• getPointerPosition() and getPointerRotation() now return nil if passed a player color that is not seated
• colorToPlayerName() now returns nil if the player color is not seated and lets execution of the script continue.
• Removed error message from getObjectFromGUID(). It just returns nil which the scripter can check for.
• onPlayerTurnStart() is now called after player clicks OK in hotseat mode.
• Added "Global" global reference to Object and Global. Should only be used for referencing things that the Global Script owns.
• Deprecated getGlobalScriptVar(), setGlobalScriptVar(), getGlobalScriptTable(), setGlobalScriptTable(). Use Global.getVar(), Global.setVar(), Global.getTable(), Global.setTable() instead.

• You can now call createButton() immediately after clearButtons() in the same frame.
• Added Player class and getPlayer() function.
• Player class can get and set lift height for a player.
• Player class can tell if player is blindfolded. Setting this just calls blind()/unblind().
• Player class has blind() and unblind().
• Deprecated getPointerPosition(), getPointerRotation(), and getPlayerHandPositionAndRotation(). They are now in the Player class as getPointerPosition(), getPointerRotation(), and getPlayerHand().
• Deprecated colorToPlayerName(). It is now in the Player class as steam_name member variable.

• onObjectDestroyed() now has the object reference as a parameter. It has 1 frame left to live. It fires immediately before the object's onDestroy() event.
• Added getButtons() to Object script.

Welcome to The Scoop, our regular community update for Tabletop Simulator and Berserk Games!

Dev Chat

A huge addition we added to Tabletop Simulator was scripting. This is something a large part of our community has been asking for since the beginning. We weren't sure if or how we'd be able to implement it, but we were able to finally make it happen. It's still a work in progress, but we're continually working to make it the best it can be. An option was recently added so scripting can be disabled for those who want a pure "real life" rendition of their board games. You can find that in your host options. We've got a couple example scripts that you can check out on the Workshop: Blackjack and Chess Clock.
It's hard to believe how much we've been improving TTS and it will only get better from here! Also, don't forget to check out our Knowledge Base. There is a lot of helpful information that you may not have known existed, so be sure to read through it! We're adding things to it all the time, so keep checking back! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DLC News

We've got two more partnerships to announce this week! First up, we have partnered with Dan Verssen Games to bring Warfighter to digital life in Tabletop Simulator! Warfighter is a card game for 1 to 6 players. Command the world's best Special Forces operators and complete vital assault missions around the world!
We've also partnered with Game Revenant to bring their first game, Mr. Game!, which had a successful Kickstarter in early 2015, to Tabletop Simulator! Mr. Game! is a modern take on the classic family "roll-and-move" genre of board games. Most of these games follow a pretty familiar pattern: start at point A, get to point B. ONE GOAL, ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES!
Our Scythe DLC released in February and it's a beauty! This is our second game from Stonemaier Games and we'll be recreating Viticulture in the future as well.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Future Updates

We value our community's feedback and over this past year we have implemented a lot of features and suggestions that you guys have given us. And we're still listening! Please continue to post your suggestions on our official forums. We're currently experimenting with Unity 5 and the results are positive so far! There is one roadblock that we're working on with the Unity team to troubleshoot. We want to make sure everything is in 100% working order before we make a commitment to make the changeover, so please be patient while we work on this as it could take some time to get everything up to date. In addition to the major jump to Unity 5, we're also working on an upgraded Turns system and a Game Manager which will make keeping track of your games and mods much easier and will also look a lot nicer, because let's face it, the current menu for Workshop/Save/Load is pretty ugly! Stay tuned! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want more?

Our latest DLC Scythe is now available! Scythe, by Stonemaier Games, is a gorgeous board game set in an alternate-history 1920s period. It is a time of farming and war, broken hearts and rusted gears, innovation and valor. In Scythe, each player represents a fallen leader attempting to restore their honor and lead their faction to power in Eastern Europa. Players conquer territory, enlist new recruits, reap resources, gain villagers, build structures, and activate monstrous mechs. The physical copy can be pre-ordered on their website. In other exciting news, we now have support for up to 10 players! Yep you heard it right, 10 players! By default only the Custom Rectangle table supports 10 players, but you can use any table by creating Hand Zones. Keep in mind when hosting whether your computer and connection can handle 10 players. If you had problems with 8 players, then most likely 10 won’t work for you. A ton of changes and improvements have been added to scripting, be sure to read everything so that you are aware of the changes. Existing mods with scripting will need to be updated.

Scythe DLC

• Scythe is now available for $7.99 with a 20% discount for the week.
• Only the host needs to own the DLC.
• Available for 1-5 players and approximately 115 minutes of gameplay.
• When hovering over objects, be sure to leave it there longer to get the full description as there is a lot to read through.
• Start in the middle of the table where the Faction Selection Cards are. Hover over it to read more.
• The rulebooks can be found on the side table.
• The reference guide is available in multiple languages. Scroll through the pages to find your language.

10 Player Colors

• 2 seats have been added to allow up to 10 players.
• The new colors are teal and brown.
• All pointers have been updated with the new colors.
• Color wheel has been updated with the new colors.
• Only the custom rectangle table allows 10 players by default.
• You can use the Hand Zones to create hands on other tables.
• The more players, the more bandwidth that will be used, so use discretion when hosting.

Scripting Improvements

• Lua script API has overhauled to an object oriented approach.
• See Blackjack example on the Workshop.
• Overall API cleanup for improved consistency.
• New functions added to the API.
• Object and Global API unified (only 'self' is unique to Object scripts).

• Fixed issue with scripting button not being created on clients machines all the time.
• Fixed issue with SetSmoothRotate(0,0,0) not working in Lua.

• Fixed many other bugs and issues with scripting.

Notebook Improvements

• Added resizing to the Notebook window.

• Spectators can no longer see the different pages in the Notebook, just the rules tab by default.

Improvements

• Revamped Workshop import/update menu so they now match the rest of the UI.
• Stacked objects no longer offset from mouse when picked up.

Another exciting update in the land of Tabletop Simulator! First up is we now have scripting support! This is still a work in progress, so this is the first iteration of scripting. Be sure to check out the Blackjack example we have on the Workshop! Next up we have Bag Searching! Just like the new Private Deck Searching, you can now search the loot bag and custom bags. The layout will be the same as the Deck Searching. And our 2nd expansion for Cosmic Encounter is now live! Cosmic Conflict is available for $2.99 and adds a 7th player to your games! We look forward to seeing what cool new things you create with the new Scripting feature!

Scripting (Beta)

• This is an advanced feature for our users who wish to add scripts to their games.
• We are using Lua as our scripting language.
• API is still under development and could possibly change.
• Scripting Zones can be found under the Zones tab in the side menu.
• These zones can be used for whatever scripts you add to this particular zone like adding things up for example.
• Scripting Editor can be found under Host -> Scripting.
• Alternatively, you can right click an object and hover over the Scripting option to either open up the editor or copy the GUID of that particular object to paste into the editor.
• The tab names for each script are named based off the model name or the name you give in the Name area of the contextual menu.
• Object will be highlighted when you click on the scripting tab of that object.
• There is a new section for scripting on the Workshop, so you can tag your games appropriately.
• Example of a script we created in-game for Blackjack. Make sure to have the chat game tab open so you can see the actions.
• More information can be found in our Scripting page of our Knowledge Base and will be continuously updated as we add more options.
• As scripting is still a work in progress, please post any suggestions you may have for improvements and desired features on our official forums.

Bag Searching

• You can now search in bags in a similar fashion as the private deck searching.
