DMHelper v2.4 Released!

DM Helper
A downloadable Virtual Tabletop for Windows and macOS

I can't believe it's been so long since v2.3... but here is v2.4! It's a huge update and I'm incredibly excited about all the goodies!!!

Big Changes

  • Our Amazing new HW-accelerated Player Window rendering... lots more to come here! If you had any performance issues while publishing with previous versions, that should be a thing of the past now.
  • A brand new What's New Dialog!
  • All-new (and still optional) Initiative Tracker on the Player Window. Somewhat condensed and two different visualization options
  • Quick shortcut campaign notes, just hit Ctrl+Alt+N and enter a note, you can open the notes to view/edit them on the Campaign tab 

Smaller, really cool changes

  • Moving characters, effects and objects from the Player's Window. Your players want to move their fireball around? Their spaceship? No problem!
  • Added proper transparency support for objects and spell effects
  • Add map markers with flexible icons
  • Distance moved for each combatant is tracked during their turn
  • Smooth multi-selection of combatants in battle
  • Distance measurement added to the map view as well as combat
  • Changing a map in combat leaves combatants where they are. This is really useful if the terrain changes dramatically mid-battle.
  • Rebooted "Add Monster" dialog, with even more customization options
  • Fixed and enhanced the Export & Import functionality, which unfortunately <u>really</u> didn't work right in v2.3
  • A few other bug-fixes and community-requested changes that I've lost track of

It's all onwards and upwards from here... happy gaming!
