Coming from Escena

A table by area of where each thing was in Escena and where it is now in Tinta: header, campaign, table, sheets, workshop and settings.

Roliando used to have other interfaces, among them Escena (a top bar with six destinations) and the classic one. Tinta is the current interface and the guides describe only that. This page is the map for anyone who knew Escena: for each screen and each piece, where it used to be and where it is now. If what you want is to switch interface or a one-page summary, see Switching to Tinta.

In Escena. Escena and Classic still exist as options of App skin, but their screen is different and these guides do not cover them. Everything below describes Tinta.

Header and navigation

In Escena there was a top bar with the destinations and, on the right, the avatar menu. In Tinta there is a fixed header with the destinations, your own shortcuts, the palette, the tavern, messages, notices and the account (Getting around Tinta).

Tinta adds things Escena did not have: the My quick access you pin yourself (Quick access), right-click on almost everything (Right-click, ⋯ and Undo) and the header layout to your taste.

The campaign

Escena showed a campaign's sections as a row of tabs. Tinta arranges them in four rooms (Play, World, Group and GM) in a rail on the left (The campaign: rooms and sections).

For the GM, what Escena left in view in the header (invite, settings, GM screen) is now in the rail's GM's backstage and in the palette.

The table

The map, combat and dice are the same engines; what changes is where the controls are (Views and HUD of the table).

A note on the name: the Theatre view of the table (the scene as a picture, with no map) has nothing to do with the Escena interface this page talks about.

What has not changed

Your data is the same: campaigns, sheets, maps, library and plan. Switching interface does not move or delete anything, and you can go back to the other one whenever you like from the settings (Switching to Tinta).
