Wednesday Ben's Day News #16 - Streaming solution, snapshots and another poll!
🕑 Added 2022-01-12 21:02:21 +0000 UTCAaaand it's Wednesday again. Time for some news- short and sweet this time!
Major quality of life improvements inbound!
Scene Packer, one of those FoundryVTT modules dear to our heart and quite necessary for Beneos Battlemaps, is currently testing some new Moulinette shenanigans. These shenanigans will enable you to download not only scenes from the cloud via Moulinette but also everything else - that means Journals, Sounds and Tokens. This means you might not even need the Beneos Battlemaps module anymore - you can simply download EEEEEVERYTHING via Moulinette -> EVEN Beneos Tokens.
Next release?!
Our next release takes us to the Wizard of the Vines, a dilapidated vinery housing all kinds of miscreants. Be sure to air this release and let it breath before enjoying it! Those Images are showing the work in Progress map.
Streaming solution draws near!
We are on our way to clear an important milestone regarding our current main quest, the streaming solution. This would mean that you wouldn't have to store content locally anymore, which is always great. We are well on our way, so stay tuned!
Grab your free homebrew monsters!
Remember to head over to Beneos Tokens to get your free content - still image tokens and homebrew stats for fearsome foes, many of which were designed with Curse of Strahd in mind! If you want to go really big, you can always upgrade to get the animated Tokens and the full FoundryVTT integration!
Last week's release saw an Elder Curseroot, which shares some similarities with the Winter Splinter Tree Blight of the good ol' Curse of Strahd Yester Hill Map (hint: its the same model). This weeks release is going to be really spooky - we hope none of your party members owe souls or services to any supernatural entities!
This week's poll!
TIs' is an easy, but important one as it aims to gauge the strain on the system once everything is set up for the streaming solution:
Which of the following assets do you use?
Thank you for participating and see you next Wednesday!

sometimes foundry won't let me download 4k off of moulinette. Says the file is too large. HD always works though.

For my part, 4k is the real draw for my group. Like Beneos replied earlier, the zoom factor is amaze-balls, because I'm usually filling the screen with whichever room we are in.
