[artch]

This post describes changes on the Public Test Realm. The estimated launch date is February 6. See commits in the ptrbranch at our GitHub repositories: engine.

• Removed the 20 rooms limit for RoomVisual usage. Now you can post visuals to any amount of rooms.
• Renamed RoomVisual.path to RoomVisual.poly.
• Renamed RoomVisual.clean to RoomVisual.clear.
• Added new option visualizePathStyle to Creep.moveTo method that draws a line along the creep’s path using RoomVisual.poly. You can provide either an empty object or custom style parameters. The default style is equivalent to:

creep.moveTo(target, {visualizePathStyle: {
    fill: 'transparent', 
    stroke: '#fff', 
    lineStyle: 'dashed', 
    strokeWidth: .15, 
    opacity: .1}});

Nice! Thanks a lot for removing the limit. Now I can just enable/disable the visualization in demand for the whole empire.

I see from the git commit that the visual is still limited to 512 KB. I think that might be worth mentioning.

This is documented, it’s the reason why RoomVisual.getSize exists.

The align styling for RoomVisual.text doesnt seem to be working for me.
EDIT: Also opacity.

Helam, try to Ctrl+F5, you probably have the cached old client version.

[Helam]

Indeed. Thank you.

Would be cool to be able to do vertical alignment and rotation too.
