VR support officially released for OpenCities Planner Offline!
OpenCities Planner VR Released
After a few months of working with beta testers running OpenCities Planner VR, we’re thrilled to finally release it for all OpenCities Planner Offline users.
Setting Up: Run the Sync Tool to update to the latest version, then open Settings and enable VR mode. Make sure you have pre-configured your VR environment. OpenCities Planner VR has been tested with HTC Vive and Oculus Rift.
An embed option has been added to the Point of Interest details window – it will work just like Project Info. You can easily embed webpages in the Details popup window by selecting the Embedded option and adding a URL.
Major Improvements
Backgrounds Window Redesigned
The design of the Backgrounds window has been updated, matching the style and functionality of Project Manager.
A search feature has been added and backgrounds are now sorted by Organisation – very helpful for power users with many backgrounds and/or multiple organisations.
Note: Flat ground and No Background are now found in a new section called “Default”, which comes last in the list.
OSM Styles Improves & Mapbox Styles Added
We’ve also improved the free OSM 3D backgrounds! A new OpenCities Planner style called Blueprint has been added, plus we updated and improved the existing backgrounds. In addition to small improvements, we fixed the scaling of roads and labels so OpenCities Planner looks just as good for megalopolises like New York and Tokyo as it does for small Scandinavian hamlets.
Backgrounds / OSM / OpenCities Planner Blueprint
Furthermore, we’ve added 7 new default Mapbox styles to OpenCities Planner – making all kinds of new and creative use cases possible.
Backgrounds / OSM / Mapbox Outdoors
To access the new & improved OSM Backgrounds, simply find your way to the OpenStreetMap section in the Backgrounds window.
Minor Improvements
The offline sync progress bar has been vastly improved – it now correctly reports download speed and progress
A plethora of dialogue style fixes
The Top Bar is now responsive, meaning it works better in smaller windows / at lower screen resolutions
Notable bugs
