Super Secret Sneak Preview of Lighting and Vision - Shhhh, don't tell Carl and John

[GhoulHunter]

So very cool watching polymorphism change my elven druid - who has darkvision - into dire wolf - that has no darkvision and everything goes black. Then switch back to elven druid and back to seeing with darkvision. SO many game ideas now - if this can go live by FGCON16 I have a designed a one shot campaign to take full advantage of this game changer of a game mechanic. I can't stress how nice this feature works and no bumps in my extensions for all that power? Awesome job SW.

Honestly I mastered this completely in about an hour of playing around with no documents but a previous knowledge of how the map tools work. Very easy to use. Very powerful.

Hell yeah, just tried it out, so damn awesome!!!

Just to be clear, please do NOT use the Dev build. It will be changing and could negatively affect your data and game. We will NOT be checking for data version changes while this is in the Dev channel.

Also, I ask everyone to please not facilitate posts about features you find on the Dev channel; as they may be intermediate version or cause issues or be features that may never be released.

Thanks,

EDIT: Toned down my knee jerk response. We are running around behind the scenes trying to get this ready for public testing; and this caught me off-guard. Apologies to SilentRuin for my original brusque response.

If people insist on using, I will be forced to take it down which will slow down our internal testing.

Removed posts. And "it is known" as far as the copies of the campaigns being no longer useable. If you have a LIVE campaign - it should be backed up. But will be unaffected as its a separate copy correct?

Thanks, SilentRuin.

When the lighting/vision build is ready for public testing, we will be posting a separate announcement; and cross-post to here.

We now moved this over to TEST. The DEV channel version is no longer active and you should switch from this version now.

Please note that campaigns loaded into the TEST channel cannot be copied over and loaded to LIVE without messing up the data. Once this branch gets pushed from TEST to LIVE, it will work.

New instructions added to the wiki on how to add lights to a map.

Can players log onto you in Test phase and if so do they need to do anything different?
(Forgot to ask)
Thanks

Players joining a GM running in test will need to also be in test.
