The Steam Workshop export system allows you to select any maps and tokens from your current campaign with a quick description and upload.
After selections are made, you can opt to generate stand-in tokens with a click for any token-art you don't have permission to share, making it easy to share your content with ease.
The description generator automatically highlights items you got from other workshop authors, giving them credit in your listing, allowing you to give credit for content you got from other workshop contributors.
All of this allows you to make a quality workshop submissions from your maps in just a few minutes.
Meanwhile, bringing content into your game is as simple as browsing the Steam workshop, subscribing, and clicking the Import button to bring content into your chosen campaign!
Meanwhile, the new 'Preferred Units' system will ensure you can always display distances in familiar values as well as values that match your game system. No more mental math for feet-to-meters here. Best of all this sytem is enabled by default using your windows region info to select the appropriate defaults, but check the Local Settings tab in the top right to double check.
Along with these big features, a number of minor fixes and features have been added:
- Added preview generation for whiteboard maps that includes all map-lines drawn
- Fixed a bug with large tokens where the move immediately snapped the top-right corner to the square you clicked, potentially moving several spaces.
- Added logic to fail-forward until the exception reporter comes online to catch issues with user preference file generation.
- Added logic to try an alternate campaign save location if files cannot be written to the my-documents location and there aren't any files there already.
- All map-previews can now update if the map changes (and whiteboards update with each save)
- Added map unit options of Inch, cm, Parsec, AU (astrological unit), and Light Year, for more flexibility.
- Added a Join "From Clipboard" button when connecting to a room, this lets you join without revealing your IP/Room code.
