The Jumpgate Beta for Pro Users Has Arrived!

Markus -- for these issues do you mind checking the console log and seeing if any errors are being thrown? Trying to figure out if these are errors happening or just silently failing behavior or what. I'm not able to repro these on a one-off basis (i.e. clicking on a token is showing radial menus, clicking and doing Shift+Z is working, switching layers is changing opacity correctly), so I'm wondering if maybe the error lockup recovery system tried to let you keep playing but it was in a broken state? Were these errors happening in the middle of a long session or?

Re: text degrading, we have a ticket to work on text rendering further before the Beta period ends. Agreed that it's not where it needs to be compared to legacy. Also -- we pushed out a quick update about an hour ago that should have fixed the issues with Fog of War not updating properly/revealing things it shouldn't that you all reported. Thanks!

Okay, sounds like something going on with the "ghost image" that are left behind when you move things around, maybe? Did you get a chance to look at your console logs?

Jonathan K. said: Two things from the session I was just running. 1. We kept having issues where people where moving their tokens, but the location wasn't updating for everyone (some people could see it, but not everyone).  It affected both me as GM and players. 2. I run the combat master API which highlights the player whose turn it is and who turn it is next, however when they were highlighted it made it difficult for me to select tokens as it seem to keep selecting the "highlight" rather than the token itself.  It didn't happen to players presumably as they can only select their own token) but it was difficult to select and add status's to tokens.. It mostly worked though :) 1. Thanks, we're tracking that and we're actually rewriting the part of the codebase that does those updates and we should have that out in the next week or two I'm hoping. 2. How does that script work? It creates a separate object that's a highlight and then puts it behind the token or?

soyr said: Little bit of a niche issue: The draw tool works perfectly fine with a regular old mouse. It's a bit finicky with a tablet (Huion Kamvas 22) I'll get one stroke out on the map and then it stops working. I can get it to start working again if I use a mouse in between strokes so tablet-mouse-tablet-mouse etc. (Browser: Mozilla Firefox) Okay thanks for the report!

Julia S. said: Hello! We've had our fifth Jumpgate-based game session, some new issues emerged (and I'll mention the already known issues). I would say, that performance-wise players and I are pretty happy, it's working faster even on the slow machines.  Regarding the issues we faced: - new one! every token loses the darkvision after switching to the new map (or after leaving and then returning to the map where their token is already present), basically every time the character is dragged from the journal to the map. Token deafults: After putting that character on the map these are the settings, the darkvision switches off. - Dynamic lighting yet again (Chrome, Safari, Firefox - all over the place). The characters can see through the walls in patterns repeating other maps, it seems. The last one may be my fault, because the walls go up to the end of the corridor and I haven't made the wall there since it's also the end of the map. But the yellow arrows are a strange artifact and only went away after page reload. This is the lighting layer: - We still have the issue with the key combos (and ping by left mouse button) not working on any keyboard layout but English. - We sometimes had the bug that the token movement was not tracking for all the players. Someone moved and the rest of the party didn't see any change of his position. Page reload helps. Thanks for the very detailed reports! These real-world session pieces of feedback are incredibly valuable.  Re: token movement, see my comment above. For the keyboard shortcuts on non-English layouts, are you saying they work properly on the Legacy side and just not Jumpgate? We've got tickets logged for the Dynamic Lighting issues.

Julia S. said: BTW I have a question, it's a very minor issue but on the chance that there is an easy solution, I'd ask) We use the second token bar to show characters' AC. In the old Jumpgate we put 14/0 and it shows on token as 14. Like in the example below: In Jumpgate the same token settings show as 21/0 which bugs off several players, plus, they keep falling off the token and I need to open token settings and then click "save settings" for this token bar to reappear. If there is a solution, I would be very grateful. This was an oversight, and we should have it changed to match the Legacy behavior shortly. Thanks!

Hello from the Tabletop team! Sharing some updates from today's release (you can always reference this in our change log ) Improved error reporting on Tabletop to show error alerts [in response to a couple forum posts mentioning freezing up error] Removed legacy Voice & Video Chat from Jumpgate games Fixed a couple Jumpgate related bugs including: Editing a macro no longer escapes the html encoding The Freehand tool properly displays disabled state when on the  Dynamic Lighting layer Resizing the right hand bar on Tabletop now updates the play space accordingly Fixed issue preventing Apply Token Defaults from applying token defaults Tokens no longer snap on resize or rotate for Gridless maps Updated Tutorial Translations with more optimized language

Hi  RJGrayLight  - thanks for taking the time to highlight what you liked, and providing details for the issues you're still experiencing. We have a couple of fixes in the works for the performance-related items like loading and lag that we'll be pushing out over the next couple of weeks; we've also be taking a look at the couple of other dynamic lighting and token behaviors you shared. RJGrayLight said: What I like. 1. Can Shrink tokens to 1/2 and 1/4 size with ease now! 2. Can rotate tokens more easily now that the tool to rotate tokens is on the corner! (still gets stuck under the gear icon when zoomed 200% or more and rotated 90° counter-clockwise) 3. Better Ping that's a LOT easier to see! 4. When using the Pen tool to draw, I can see the line being drawn before I accept it, making it a LOT easier to set up dynamic lighting and getting rid of a lot of guessing that used to be done! Issues I've been having. 1. Some Dynamic Lighting shapes, such as the ellipse, are severely offset to the right or reveal things inside of them when they are close to the walls. 2. No directional indicators for one-way dynamic lighting. This was a feature before jumpgate, but for some reason jumpgate removed it and now it's a guessing game for which side is which. 3. Loading times are slower across the board for all maps with dynamic lighting enabled. Almost completely preventing some from accessing certain maps. 4. Permamant and Explorable Darkness can cause the entire map to go black if a token is selected when attempting to add. 5. When attempting to move tokens, they will sometimes freeze in place, or disappear altogether, until you click elsewhere or refresh the page, at which point they update. 6. When setting up doors and windows on a map with smaller cells (50px or smaller instead of 70px), the icons retain their max size of 70px, instead of updating their max size to be whatever the current cell size is. This causes multiple squares to be completely covered, preventing access to anything underneath it. 7. Token Sides appear to be disabled once you assign a token to a sheet now. Meaning that you can't tie a flippable token to a specific character sheet at this time. 8. Some tokens, created from jpg or png images not already within roll20, appear to everyone on the map regardless of the lighting, even if it should be completely hidden. It's as though it's on it's own layer that's above the token and lighting layers. But when placing it in the Map or GM layers, it seems to work as it should, though with above-average fidelity. 9. Larger maps with lots of dynamic lighting (over 100 unique lines) will sometimes cause the entire webpage to flicker unctrollably on the GM's side, specifically whenever a player moves a token or draws something off-screen for the GM. When this happens, all interaction with the page is prevented, including chat, compendium, etc. Only browser aspects that are not a part off the roll20 website are interactable. Resets upon refreshing the page. Refreshing page's cache ( CTRL+F5 ) only seems to cause more frequent repeat issues. 10. Players have reported significant lag with opening and closing doors and click-dragging their own tokens more than 3 spaces at a time, sometimes having to wait up to 10 seconds to accurately see whether or not they opened or closed a door or moved their token to the correct spot. Of note, these are all confirmed on Firefox v.125.0.3 (64-bit) Google Chrome v124.0.6367.119 (Official Build) (64-bit) Windows 10 Home A game with custom sheets, maps, and tokens (Nothing premade by Roll20 or marketplace except the token markers)

Coldin  - thanks for sharing! We are working on releasing updates to help with the freezups in the next week or so - it's a chunky update that is being tested at the moment! I'll post out change log updates once they go out and please let us know if you continue to experience them after that point. We released an update last Wednesday to help show error alerts for these type of freezups - would love to hear if you're able to see this improvement! Coldin said: Had our first actual session tonight using Jumpgate, and ran into some weird issues. Some players were reporting "flickering" behavior while exploring the map. This was only resolved by refreshing the page.  Myself and one other player were experiencing a dimming of the page with a complete freezes. The freezes would completely remove interaction of anything on the table and required refreshing the page or restarting the browser to get functions back. No error message appeared during these issues.
