Create: Improved Display Link Experience

1.3 - 2026-03-29 (29.03.2026)

Additions

• Added two new display sources:
  • Elevator Target Floor (for Elevator Contact): oppositely to Elevator Location with Extra Formats displaying the floor the elevator has just passed, this one displays the floor the elevator was called to, and utilizes the same display formats:
    • Floor Name;
    • Floor Description;
    • Floor Identifier & Description;
    • Floor Description & Identifier;
  • Elevator Movement Direction (for Elevator Pulley): with the idea taken from the @suggestions channel of Create's Discord server (suggested twice, by The Tiny Desk Engineer and Pfluck respectively), it simply displays the elevator's movement direction one of the available formats:
    • Arrows: ×, ↑ and ↓;
    • Triangles: ■, ▲ and ▼;
    • Words: standing still, heading up and heading down;
• Added a new client config option:
  • Show Tooltip For Single Option Selector: show the 'Type of Information' selector tooltip if it only has a single option (should be useful if that single option is truncated, but you need to see it the whole for a moment);
• Added fr_fr (French) translation by @JustArthur.

Improvements

• Improved the Display Link Interface further by also truncating the overflowing Source Type strings even if they are not part of a selection, i.e. the single available option (#7);
• Improved the Current Floor Extended display source - now it features a simple Show Empty Floor Descriptions as '????' toggler to indicate whether the empty descriptions of floors that don't have it specified should be ignored or displayed as ????;
• Improved the Countdown display source - now it features a simple Overlap the Attached Label with the Finish Label toggler to indicate whether the Finish Label, once the time is out, should be put in place of the placeholders or straight up overlap the whole string;
• Improved the "Display Sources" Ponder Tag from base Create - now it features the Elevator Contact (and, since now, the Elevator Pulley as well).

Fixes

• Fixed the Countdown display source, specifically its Countdown Finish Label, not overriding the attached label if no placeholders are present (that eventually inspired the Overlap the Attached Label with the Finish Label toggler) (#8);
• Fixed the Target widget tooltip (Set To) being unrendered in the Display Link interface (#9);
• Fixed the Current Floor Extended display source displaying the description of the floor the elevator was called to, not the floor the elevator has just passed (that eventually inspired the new Elevator Target Floor display source) (#10).

1.2 - 2026-03-22 (22.03.2026)

Additions

• Added a ponder about using Display Links' Attached Label and Placeholders (can be found after Create's ponders for the Display Link);
• Added two new display sources:
  • Elevator Location with Extra Formats (for Elevator Contact): a format-richer alternative to the existing Elevator Location display source - instead of just the Floor Identifier, the new version allows to also display:
    • Floor Description;
    • Floor Identifier & Description;
    • Floor Description & Identifier;
  • Countdown (for Cuckoo Clock): a counterpart to the Create's Stopwatch display source, has the following input fields:
    • Countdown Timer (Scroll to select seconds, Scroll with Ctrl to select minutes, hold Shift to multiply the step value by 10);
    • Countdown Finish Label (the text that will be displayed once the time is out);
• Added nl_nl (Dutch) translation by @Siepert123.

Improvements

• Improved the Display Link interface by truncating the overflowing strings in selection input fields and giving them the "Marquee" (AKA "Running Line") effect, which can be turned off or thoroughly customized in the client config - the changeable values are:
  • Fixed Chat Travel Time: the fixed time for the truncated string to scroll through, per overflowing character.;
  • Fixed String Travel Time (disabled by default): the fixed time for the truncated string to scroll through, independently of its length.;
  • Maximal String Travel Time (disabled by default): the maximal time for the truncated string to scroll through, independently of its length.;
  • Minimal String Travel Time (disabled by default): the minimal time for the truncated string to scroll through, independently of its length.;
  • String Pause Time: the fixed time for the truncated string to stay still once at the start or the end of scrolling.;
• Improved the Current Floor and Train Status display sources from base Create - now both have Attached Label functionality (can be reverted in the server config).

1.1 - 2026-02-18 (18.02.2026)

Additions

• Added tooltip customization options to the client config:
  • Enable Active Placeholders Tooltip: show the Active placeholders part of the Placeholders Usage Guide tooltip;
  • Enable Progress Bar Support State Tooltip: show the Progress Bar display format support part of the Placeholders Usage Guide tooltip;
• Added zh_cn (Chinese Simplified) translation by @KEricMinecraft.

Improvements

• Organized both configs - condensed some pairs of similar options into groups.
