Ready to host
in a few minutes.
Set up the client once, place the lightweight overlays around 3DX, and keep every frequent hosting action within reach.
Start here
- Install the latest release
- Launch 3DX and the Companion
- Scan chat and arrange the overlays
01
FIRST RUN
Find the visible 3DX chat.
Open 3DX before the Companion. A green detection label confirms the game is available. The startup scan locates the movable chat input and caches it.
- Use Scan again after moving chat.
- Choose silent rescans every 0, 5, or 10 minutes.
- The app remains external and restores your cursor after sending.

- Create, rename, import, and export beside the tree.
- Moving a parent phrase moves its children by default.
- Import individual phrases from PhraseExpress in the editor.

PHRASE EDITOR
Create, preview, and connect.
Name the phrase, write its message, choose a folder, and save. The live preview approximates 3DX Local Chat.
- Insert colored native 3DX emojis from five categories.
-
Add an optional text-expansion command such as
!welcome. - Link child outcomes to a parent rule and give them roll numbers.
- Every message follows the 400-character chat limit.
04
OVERLAYS
Keep the play field clear.
The Phrase Overlay becomes a responsive button board. The separate Turn / Skip Overlay keeps live game controls together.
- Switch folders using the arrow beside the active folder.
- Parent buttons open a compact child-outcome menu.
- Enable Quickbind, hover a phrase, and press a key; Esc clears it.
- Resize freely and choose independent opacity in Settings.
05
TURN ORDER
Manage a fluid player list.
Type a name and press Enter. Drag cards to reorder live, change built-in or custom statuses, randomize, or remove players with the bin icon.
- Open Manage Statuses beside the player count to create short markers such as SH for Shield.
- Choose arrows or commas for Turn Order output.
- Send Player Order and Turn Order separately.
- Edit visual, emoji-aware Pause and Resume messages under Host messages.

EXPERIMENTAL CO-HOSTING
Host together with a friend.
Co-Hosting is wholly untested in a real two-user session. Version 0.7.0 is an experimental first pass and requires detailed feedback.
- Only accepted friends can receive a direct Co-Host invitation.
- There are no public rooms, random joins, room keys, or join codes.
- The Host's phrases are temporary and never saved into the Co-Host's local library.
- Both users can send phrases and manipulate the shared turn order.
- Please report connection, synchronization, sending, and turn-order failures.

- Check for verified installer updates inside the app.
- Google and Discord accounts are optional and needed for cloud features and Friends.
- Open Friends from the people button in the main header to copy your Friend Code, manage requests, and remove friends.

Application updatesInstalled version: 0.7.0
Build around how you host.
Start with one folder and a few frequent messages. Add outcomes, quickbinds, and more boards only when they become useful.
