Update

Paths and Plots can now be selected centrally, similar to rooms, and can thus be moved or rotated completely. When copying normal objects, the attached objects are now also copied, for example, a crate on a stone tower.

  • Paths and Plots can now be selected centrally, similar to rooms, and can thus be moved or rotated completely.

  • When copying normal objects, the attached objects are now also copied, for example, a crate on a stone tower. It also works with multi select copy.

  • You can now use Ctrl/Cmd + A to select the entire path, plot, or room directly.

  • With Ctrl/Cmd + left-click, items are now added to the multi select list. If the item is already in the list, clicking again removes it.

  • The selection list is now opened using Shift + left-click (previously Ctrl/Cmd + left-click). This allows you to select an item at the mouse position if there are multiple items at that position.

  • When you hover over an element in the selection list, the element is highlighted on the map.

  • When you hover the mouse over an element, it now highlights. Applies to: objects, points and lines in paths, plots, rooms, and deco labels/legend/ deco images.

  • Object Editor: Open the selection list with Shift + left-click. Select multiple elements with Ctrl + left-click. If the element is already in the selection list, clicking it again will remove it from the list.

  • Object Editor: When you hover the mouse over an element, it is now highlighted. This also applies to elements in the selection list, which can be opened by pressing Shift + left-click.

  • Object Editor: You can select multiple items at once by pressing Ctrl + left-click in the list in the panel (on the left side of the UI).

  • While holding down the spacebar and the left mouse button, you can now always drag a frame for multi select. This applies when nothing is selected.

  • Snap to PathsMore paths, plots, and rooms now support “Snap to Paths.” As before, “Snap to Paths” is ignored when “Snap to Grid” is enabled.
  • Snap to PathsYou can no longer snap to invisible paths (hidden via Groups). Snap sensitivity has been improved.
  • Field Plot: You can now set the density, layout rotation, crop type, and edge type.

  • District Plot: Layout rotation is now adjustable. Now you can rotate the chessboard layout as desired, for example.

  • RoomTexture rotation is now adjustable. For fooms, the option to auto rotate the texture when the room is rotated has also been added (when enabled, it works as before).
  • Castle Surface Plot: Texture rotation is now adjustable.

  • River Path: Now, hold down Shift to scale the width at a single point for the entire river.

  • Deco Tool LabelAdded “Auto Hide” with ‘near’ and “far” values for zoom. Depending on these values, the label is shown or hidden based on the camera zoom.
  • While moving an element, you can now use keys to perform actions such as rotating it or changing its height at the same time.

  • Increased the max value of the map size slider.

  • SettingsNumber of seconds for WebM video export can be adjusted.
  • I was able to improve the selectability of elements. There were sometimes issues with this on very large maps with many elements. If it's enabled, I recommend disabling “Alternative Object Selection” in the settings under the beta tab.

  • Bugs fixedReduced object overlap in District. Removed the generation of duplicate roads in District. Improved hex grid snap. Fixed WebM video export for Linux. Fixed errors when loading old custom plots and when deleting rivers and rooms. Improved scaling of labels and legends. And more.
  • I optimized a lot of small parts and was able to improve overall performance a little.

  • Loading speed improved slightly.

I've tested a lot, but I assume that I haven't found all the bugs.

I look forward to your feedback. :)

Best regards Hannes
