Version 15:
Players may (at game master discretion) have an icon that displays with all their chat and emote messages.
Players may select if they want to view smilies, avatars, and/or timestamps with chat messages.
Sheets now go to the last viewed position when opened or updated, instead of resetting to the top of the page.
Double clicking a sheet now opens and moves to the contents panel of that sheet and opens the sheet's properties control.
Icons have an Alias feature which will put an Alias button in the sheet with the icon. When the button is clicked, the player assumes the name, icon, icon state, and textcolor stored with the icon. (Texter)
Icons and images have a drag option (in the properties page) that allows it to be moved around the sheet. Show and Alias buttons will not function on a draggable image or icon.
Icons and images may be assigned an absolute position on the sheet. To remove absolute positioning, uncheck the drag option and set the position to 0, 0.
New Map field allows you to easily place a grid in a sheet for use with draggable icons and images
New Group field contains other fields like a sheet, but displays the contents as if it were not there. This lets you easily organize and control access to several fields at once without changing the display. The easiest way to move fields into a group is to double click the group (make sure it shows the open folder icon) and drag the other contents fields into it.
Pressing F5 in a sheet window will refresh the sheet.

Version 14:
Recompiled with the BYOND current release version (v341). BTGv13 was compiled with BYOND 3.5 beta 2 and some users may not have been able to use it. (Mastergohan2022)

Version 13:
New Features
New kill GM command allows GMs to boot a player and remove them from the "Logged out" player list. This also keeps them from bypassing the password if they were already logged into your game. (Bunnie)
Banned players no longer report log in and log out messages. (Pladas, Bunnie)
Sound properties allow the user to disable the text report that a sound is playing. GMs will see the report no matter if the option is checked or not, to prevent abuse. (Bunnie, Pladas)
You may drag and drop fields in a sheet or workspace to reorder them. The dropped field will move directly under the field it is dropped on. (Texter)
Extended the default chat length for all players to 1024 characters. (Lummox JR)
Security fixes
All active windows are closed when GM status is stripped.
Changing names now uses html_encode() instead of sd_htmlremove(). GMs and players allowed to use HTML text may use HTML in their names. (Bunnie)
Bug fixes
The background color no longer goes white when you play a sound.
Emotes are now only sent to your current chat channel. You may use the new action command to send an emote directly to other channels that you are not included in. (Shoobs)

Beta 12:
Fixed an error that occured when non-host GMs muted or booted players. (Pladas)
|
| 11/17/2004 |
Beta 11:
Three new "silence" commands to turn off playing music, sounds, or all music and sounds. Silence-sound will not be fully functional until the FMOD version of BYOND is released in the near future.
Sounds now have an option for looping. (Bidirectional repeat requires the FMOD version of BYOND.)
Name length is now limited to chat length/10. (Pladas)
Fixed an exploit that allowed people to unmute themselves. (Palorin, Pladas)
Fixed a bug that made non-host GMs lose GM status when they edit their own player info.
Removed a forgotten debug message that reported people's IP address to everyone when they logged in.

Beta 10:
Bug fix: Entering large amounts of text in the Value field of storybox properties caused a Dream Seeker crash. The box has been replaced with an alternate means of input. (Stanfy1, Easty)
Sheet and field creation delays to prevent spamming. (Even_flow, Stanfy1)

| Beta 9:
Bug fix: "Players may own sheets" toggle in game settings works properly now.
|
| 03/12/2003 |
| Beta 8:
A single bug fix, but an important one.
Fixed an error in clipboard operations that caused table fields to be shared between copied sheets. (GGIII)

| 01/13/2003 |
| Beta 7:
Oops! Little bug in v6 if you try to use the "Say" verb. Version 7 fixes the trouble.
|
| 01/13/2003 |
| Beta 6 brings several improvements.
Updates:
- GMs and sheet owners may transfer ownership of sheets with the "give" command. (Requested by just about everyone who has ever played BTG)
- Access rights may be set to allow a chat group access to edit and/or view fields. The owner and GMs may always view and edit sheets, even if they are not in the chat group. Important Note: Chat Groups do not persist between BTG sessions, so if you load a sheet from a previous session you will probably want to change the access rights. (Just about as many requests as for ownership transfer.)
- Added "list" die roll format and "-high" die rolls. These are not supported by the pop-up die roller yet, but may be accessed from the command line. Use "list" to generate output in the list format. (See forum post ID:1290 in the BTG forum for details on what the "list" format does.) Use "-h" to subtract the highest die roll from the die total, just like the - low die roll feature. Spuzzum needs a new excuse to avoid hosting Digitalia now. ;) (Spuzzum)
- No more say verb! Type what you have to say directly in the command line without ever having to type "say" again. Other commands may still be entered on the command line as normal.
- Allows multiple GMs. As a side effect, the hub now lists the game host instead of the game GM. (Sariat)
- Updated to s_smiley version 5. Thanks Spuzzum! (Delita12345)
- GMs may selectively allow players to use HTML in chat and their names. The default setting is to deny HTML use.
- GMs may specify maximum chat text length on a player by player basis. Let verbose but responsible players say as much as you can stand. ;) (Kamoku)
- Fixed a bug caused by chatting in a deleted channel. (Peter Parker)
- HTML is disabled on the hub page. I may eventually allow color and font decorations on the hub page, if there is demand for it.
- The hub listing will display version numbers, so users know if the host is using the latest version with up to date features.
P.S. Ebonshadow, I haven't forgotten your requests. I will be working on them. :) |

| Beta 4 introduces a couple small changes.
Updates: - A new style of checkboxes that may have 3 states (empty, slash mark, or X). The old checkbox style is the default (empty or checked). You may choose the style in the checkbox properties. (Spuzzum)
- Trapped an error condition produced if a player clicks "create" in the sheet builder without selecting a field type. (Lord of Water)

| Beta 3 has some major changes in the sheet display code, but it should display old sheets exactly the same as it did before (except for the table field, as noted below). Please let me know if it doesn't display any of your sheets properly.
Also, BTG has its own forum now: http://shadowdarke.byond.com/forum/forum.cgi?forum=btg
Updates: - Sheet Builder tool in the Game Tools. This tool can be used to quickly create a series of fields at the end of the currently open statpanel. (Lord of Water, Spuzzum)
- Many fields now have a checkbox in the properties dialog for "Linebreak". Unchecking this box will prevent the automatic linebreak after a field in the sheet display and allow multiple fields within one column of a column split. Note that any field label or text input area may include HTML code, so you may place your own breaks wherever you like. (Spuzzum)
- Added a new HTML block field type. It acts exactly like a label, but has a larger input box designed for multilined HTML code.
- Table fields will no longer display cells for empty column and row headings. This was done to allow tables without row and column headings. Note that you should also remove to label if you don't want an extra row and column for the headings. To display the empty cell like the old tables did, you may enter " " as the heading. (Spuzzum)
- Fixed the error that allowed unauthorized people to edit field values. (Cinnom)

| Tabletop has become revitalized as BYOND Tabletop Gaming (BTG). With the new BYOND features that have come about since Tabletop was discontinued, it will be much better than I had dreamed for the original. BTG alpha is nearly finished and I will release the beta to the public. |
| 07/08/2001 |
| BYOND Tabletop development ends. OpenRPG is already well on the way to producing a free online gaming environment. I see no reason to continue development on BYOND Tabletop and will be returning my full focus to Darke Dungeon. |
| 07/05/2001 |
| BYOND Tabletop begins development. |
