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!



https://store.steampowered.com/app/610696/Tabletop_Simulator__Draco_Magi/

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

• 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

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.

• 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.

• setInvisibleTo(players) Hides objects from a specific player/players. Uses "hidden zone" hiding.
  
• attachHider(...) and attachInvisibleHider(...) are more advanced version of
• setHiddenFrom and setInvisibleTo, there to help handle complex situations easily.
  Old Object Functions (with new features!)

• Fixed thumbnail preview image causing image to being lower resolution than it should in the world.

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

• 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.

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.

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)

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.

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

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.
