Dudes on a Map: Virtual Grid Paper Patch Notes — March 3, 2022
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.

This update adds the ability to send information from Dudes to your discord server. To connect the two, simply create a discord webhook in the "Edit Channel"=>Integrations menu, and copy the link to the 'Dudes on a Map' Campaign Settings tab. From there, you can decide which activities you'd like to mirror into discord, initiative, dice and even map updates can be sent.
The new laser pointer can be activated in the drawing tools menu or by simply holding the Alt key.
Full patch notes:
- Added discord webhook sending for Dice rolls, which mirrors each player die-roll to the discord chat.
- Text to speech option allows reading of the roll summary.
- Added discord webhook sending for Initiative order, this will show all player-visible initiative entries, and updates each round if order changes (or you enable the 'send every round' option).
- Added discord webhook sending for Map Updates. Each time you do a map update, a screenshot will be taken of the map control, as it gets displayed to players, and pushed to discord.
- Added a manual screenshot button to capture a screenshot of the map as players would see it, and put it on the clipboard.
- Added a grid-square/hex painting tool for filling whole grid-cells with a few clicks.
- Added laser pointer tool, which shares a trail of cursor movement while the alt key is held, or while holding left-mouse with the laser tool selected.
