The days of wondering about the size of map files in BouncyRock’s digital tabletop simulator are over! As of today, TalesTavern will now show detailed statistics attached to every slab posted on the site. Each thumbnail will accurately display the number of assets used in a particular slab, as well as their overall dimensions:
A more detailed breakdown is available when viewing an individual slab. This breakdown shows how many assets are used, as well as the number of unique assets in its composition. Most importantly, the site shows how much data is contained within each slab, shown in the example below:
This functionality goes beyond a posted slab however. Any user can access this information by using the Slabalyzer, which is located under the Slabs and Boards tab from the home page here: https://talestavern.com/talespire-slab-analyzer-optimizer/
This fantastic tab displays the details on a slab string, while removing duplicate assets and minimizing the overall codelength. This is helpful for understanding how large a single slab is before it gets posted to the archive. Consider running kitbashed assets through the Slabalyzer before mass producing the object, as they may take up more space than expected.
As of this moment, there is no way for the site’s tools to reveal the same data sets for posted boards. A board uses an in-game URL instead of a string of characters, so for now the site automatically optimizes every posted slab as though it was run through the Slabalyzer. There’s more exciting work coming around the corner, so stay tuned for all things TalesTavern!
