Hey everyone, we got another great update for you today! We have added 2 very long requested features a Music Player and PDF support! There are also a ton of great additions and improvements listed below in the patch notes.
Music Player
- The music player let's you play audio files (.mp3, .wav, .ogg, ogv) which are synced for all players.
- Great for room music or so your DnD campaign has the right mood!
- Supports playlists with ordering, shuffling, and looping.
Custom PDF
- New object Custom PDF, that allows you import a PDF onto a tile.
- This converts the PDF into a series of images, to make it easy to import your rule books!
- Supports multiple pages: swap between them with the contextual menu, next/previous state hotkeys, or the buttons on the left and right side.
- Can popout the PDF to the screen by hitting the hidden UI button on the top left of the PDF object.
- You can joint this to any objects to add any visual flair you would like to match the game.
Cloud Manager Folders
- Cloud manager now supports folders just like Saved Games/Objects.
- When you import all loaded assets into cloud it puts them in a folder defaulting to the Game name.
- Can now name files that are uploaded to the Cloud instead of just using the file name on disk.
Sound Improvements
- Custom Objects that are set to dice or coin will now get that correct sounds for their selected material type.
- Improved sounds for objects interacting with locked objects.
- Added glass material type for Custom AssetBundle and Custom Model.
Alpha Transparency Support
- Added alpha support to the color picker.
- Can now draw with semi tranparency.
- Can color tint objects to have alpha transparency, which goes nicely with the new glass material type.
- Objects with alpha transparency will not cast shadows.
Magnify Revamp
- Magnify (hotkey m) overhauled to be round.
- Scroll up or down to control the zoom level of the magnify.
- Fixed visual issues with previous magnify.
General Improvements
- Added loading percent next to the player names on the top right.
- For the top bar in-game the Scripting, Workshop Upload, and Cloud Manager menus have been moved under "Modding".
- Improved auto-raise to work better with overhangs.
- Added a workshop indicator next to the chat window that you can hover over and get info about how far along the workshop subscription check is at.
- Moved physics mode (semi-lock, locked, etc) from Configuration to Server Options.
- Greatly improved compatibility with old AssetBundles shaders. This will fix a lot of broken DLCs.
- Improved Fog of War performance.
- File Browser now remembers the last opened path.
- Updated Voice Chat plugin.
- Voice chat is now using a higher quality setting.
- Added hidden zone opacity sliders to Misc settings.
