Hands with many cards, visibility problem

[Manticore]

Playing a game where players hold many cards and cannot see what cards they are holding without moving their mouse carefully over each card's visible edge in their hand and holding ALT. The cards are large and so the hand doesn't hold them well. If there are less than 10 cards then it is fine, but more than that and they are very difficult to see. Changing the size of the zones improve it at all. Regardless of the "size" of the zone, the hands show it the same, and do not take up the whole zone. Any way to edit the actual spread of a player's hand to actually see a large number of cards?

The only way to fix the spread is by making the cards smaller. There's a few saves where I have made the entire game smaller and moved everybody closer. In relation to the un-edited, the game is the same, because even though stuff is smaller, everything's also closer and it matches.

The cards will then look better in the hand.

The beta branch of the game currently has hands that spreads the cards out based on the width.

I haven't played any games that require a lot of cards after opting in, so I haven't noticed that. If it really works well now, that's great :p

That's good news. How do you opt-in?

To opt in to the beta, right click on Tabletop Simulator in your Steam library, then click Properties. There will be a new “Betas” tab. At the drop down menu choose “beta - Unity 5”. If it asks for a code, you can ignore it, as you will get the download.

You can post any issues and bugs you find here[www.berserk-games.com] or here Be sure to read the Known Issues in the original thread before posting.

Thank you Kimiko :)

4 years later that hand spread is still a problem. For >9 cards it's hard to read the cards, because the hand doesn't use enough of the available space. Half of the screen is empty and the cards cover up each other.

Rather than digging up old threads, try making a new one, or finding a better answer:
