Layer Restrictions

Playtest Room

  • Compass (new). A compass now sits beside the volume button in the top right. It shows which way you are facing at the table (North, East, South, or West), with the other three cardinals placed where those directions actually are on your screen.
  • Click or tap the compass to rotate one seat, the same as the rotate hotkey. This gives phone and tablet players a direct way to turn their view.
  • Zone names fixed when you rotate your seat. Names used to drift to a different corner at each seat, and at the East and West seats a longer name could slide right out of the zone. They are now always upright, inside the zone, and in the same corner from every seat.
  • Zone icons got the matching fix on the opposite corner.
  • Drag to hand feels less twitchy. The drop area was reaching too far up the screen. It now triggers lower, so you have to mean it.
  • Landscape cards no longer cropped. Wide cards were being cut off in the component sync preview and in Search Deck. They now show the whole card.

Layers

  • Layer level restrictions (new). The layer menu can now apply the right-click restrictions to every object on a layer.
  • Each restriction has three states. No rule (the layer stays out of it and each object keeps its own setting), Force on (every object on the layer gets it), and Force off (it is cleared from every object on the layer).
  • Restrictions are written onto the objects when you apply them, so nothing has to be re-resolved later and every player sees the same thing.
  • Send to Front no longer freezes the room. Bringing an object to the front could lock up the whole table when tucked objects formed a loop and kept pushing each other down forever.
  • Bringing something forward now untucks it from anything it has moved above, so it can actually reach the front. You get a note when it happens, and Undo restores the tuck.

Rulebooks

  • Replace a rulebook instead of appending to it. Re-importing a PDF into an existing rulebook used to stack the new pages onto the old ones. You can now replace the book.
  • Dragging a PDF into the room now asks whether you want to replace the matching rulebook or add a new one.
  • You get a toast when the import finishes, and the component bar updates on its own.
  • Copies already on the table can be updated too. If that rulebook is already out, it offers to update those copies, the same way component syncing works.
