Hi all, I've just pushed an update to the Default Mod (API) Server. Experimental will be receiving the update shortly. Experimental is now deployed! New Features Foreground layer support has been added! This includes a flag on the Campaign object for player visibility of the layer, as well as the appropriate settings for each of Graphic, Text, PathV2, and Path objects. Note that the Foreground layer is only on Jumpgate, so these properties will be ignored on the Classic VTT. campaign Campaign has one new property. Property Default Note foregroundLayerVisible true When true , players will see objects on the foreground layer. When false , they will not. Note: this is a global setting that affects all pages. graphic Graphic has four new properties: Property Default Note fadeOnOverlap true When true , the overlapping of a object layer graphic's inner bound with the foreground layer object will cause its opacity to become the value in fadeOpacity . When false , it will remain at its set baseOpacity regardless of overlap. fadeOpacity 0.3 This value dictates the opacity of the object when it is overlapped by a graphic on the object layer, and fadeOnOverlap is set to true . renderAsScenery false When true , this object will be obscured by dynamic lighting and the Hide/Reveal Mask. baseOpacity 1.0 This value dictates the initial opacity of graphics. Note: It is active on any layer, not just the Foreground layer. text | path | pathv2 Text, Path, and PathV2 have three new properties. They are all the same and behave the same: Property Default
Note fadeOnOverlap true When true , the overlapping of a object layer graphic's inner bound with the foreground layer object will cause its opacity to become the value in fadeOpacity . When false , it will remain at its set baseOpacity regardless of overlap. fadeOpacity 0.3 This value dictates the opacity of the object when it is overlapped by a graphic on the object layer, and fadeOnOverlap is set to true . renderAsScenery false When true , this object will be obscured by dynamic lighting and the Hide/Reveal Mask. New Layer Value You can now set the layer to foreground in addition to "map", "objects", "gmlayer", and "walls" with the effect of moving that object to the Foreground Layer. We'll be following pretty quickly with the update to the Experimental API server, but you can start writing scripts against this interface on the Default server right now! Experimental is now deployed! Please let me know if you experience any issues with the API, or have any questions about the above!
