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

• 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.

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

• 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.
