Note that thi is the GM view, different players connected would only see what is within their visible area.

Two words: Spec Tacular

One of the really cool things, technically, is that the sight types are fully configurable. That is, once I build a way to configure them, you can create all sorts of custom sight types.

I haven't read up on everything that you're planning to do with vision types, but one question that jumps out at me is whether you plan to include a way to flag a token as being visible/invisible to specific vision types. For example, a creature that floats above the ground should be invisible to tremorsense. If you do have this in mind, will this be an extension of the token properties, or part of separate vision/lighting settings?

The plan is to at some point add an additional property that is shared between light, a token property, and sight, so that they all have to line up before you see anything.

Which is a jarbled way of saying, yes, we plan to add that at some point. It'll also make things like infrared and xray work (operates above the vbl)

This is the thing I'm really excited about seeing, but in the mean time I'm liking the what I'm seeing with the direction vision is going.

Looks Awesome! Wow, I can't wait to use this version. MT just went leaps and bounds better than any RPG program out there.

Also one question:

Is darkvision always fixed at 60 or is there a way to customize the distance?

Right now, it is fixed to 60' but this is 'version 1' of vision so expect to configure your own distance soon to follow.

The sight types will be (eventually) entirely configurable. Just need to build the UI for it.

Can we see demos of player views?
