Native File Browser
- Added a native file browser as an alternative to the built-in one. (your OS file browser)
- The native file browser supports selecting multiple files where applicable.
- VR still uses the built-in file browser to ensure interaction still works.
- Added console command
file_browser_native
and also added it to the misc settings menu.
Cloud Manager Improvements
- Cloud Management should overall work much better and be less frustrating to use. https://tabletopsimulator.nolt.io/52
- 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
- Rewind and fast-forward has been revamped with better controls and more information. https://tabletopsimulator.nolt.io/393
- Can now rewind time in multiple steps with the new time slider.
- Can now see the number of time steps in each direction.
- Rewind states now are only being created if something has changed since the last rewind state.
- Rewind now works for promoted players instead of just the host.
General
- Updated Unity to 2019.4.23 for bug and stability improvements.
- Added support for multiple auto save files. The default is now 3 and can be changed in the console and misc settings. https://tabletopsimulator.nolt.io/582
- Broadcast message now appear at the top to better match up with the sliding out animation and fades out smoother. https://tabletopsimulator.nolt.io/448
- Renamed save file "Expand" to "Search" to better reflect what it does.
- Added Custom Music to the save file "Search" to make it easier to bring over music from one save to another.
- Added Music to Workshop asset tags.
- Added "chat_input_clear_on_dismiss" console property. May be set to OFF to allow clicking away from the chat input field without losing partially written chat messages.
- 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). If enabled you can still type higher numbers by starting with a
0
. https://tabletopsimulator.nolt.io/187
- Added
end_turn
command. https://tabletopsimulator.nolt.io/130
- Grouping individual cards will now give the formed deck any tags which all the cards share. https://tabletopsimulator.nolt.io/657
Optimizations
- Greatly reduced the lock up when spawning lots of objects, such as when loading a save file.
- 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.
- Optimized under the hood cloning code.
- Save file info now caches significantly faster (Less waiting when opening the Games menu).
- Reduced network bandwidth for impact sounds.

lua events: return table in desired sorted order, or false to allow default zone behaviour. If present they take precedence over the selected sort in the zone options.

Object.getData() now correctly omits null value keys.

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
- Player.Action.RotateIncrementalLeft (Q)
- Player.Action.RotateIncrementalRight (E)
- Player.Action.RotateOver (Alt + F, whilst held)
- Player.Action.FlipIncrementalLeft (Alt + Q, whilst held)
- Player.Action.FlipIncrementalRight (Alt + E, whilst held)
- Player.Action.FlipOver (F)
- Player.Action.Copy (Ctrl + C / Menu Copy / Menu Clone)
- Player.Action.Cut (Ctrl + X / Menu Cut)
- Player.Action.Delete (Delete / Backspace / Menu Delete)
- Player.Action.Group (G)
- Player.Action.Paste (Ctrl + V / Menu Paste)
- Player.Action.Randomize (R / Menu Roll)
-
Player.Action.Under (U)
- Addresses: https://tabletopsimulator.nolt.io/520
Player.Action is not a table, but you may still do:
- for name, value in pairs(Player.Action) do
- log(Player.Action)
Addresses:
- https://tabletopsimulator.nolt.io/35
- https://tabletopsimulator.nolt.io/69

Lua Value and Value Flags
- Value now persisted in ObjectState.

- Selected objects will now have their
value
summed according to their tags.
- value_flags will continue to work like before, but are now deprecated in favor of object tags.
