Don't promise that just yet, Phergie.

The last I saw on the devteam mailing list was a decision to rethink what should be displayed, but no comments from anyone on what that list actually included.

I'm surprised that's up for discussion. GMs see everything and players see only token they own. Perhaps also tokens their character can see but only if vision is implemented on the level.

This is part of the discussion...
I save all my Campaign Files to DropBox. Not only can I access a campaign file from pretty much any OS that will run Maptool(Win,OSX, linux), but each file is versioned, so if something goes crazy wild, I can always roll back to a previous version of the same file.

Get your Dropbox 2GB via my referral link, and as a bonus, I get an extra 250 MB of space. Even if you don't don't use my link, I still enthusiastically recommend Dropbox..

"GM sees everything, Players see tokens they own" seems like a reasonable compromise point considering the need to Get This Done.

Bug report:

When I'm hosting, several of the clients and I face the problem where the user interface becomes unresponsive. Specifically, you can still interact with the GUI, it just doesn't show changes until you minimize and restore the window.

When it happens, I can still, say, click on the maps list and guess where my map is, minimize the window, restore it, and see it again.

I have no idea what the cause is, however I've only observed it online. It happened last when I tried to switch maps.

Please post the stacktrace. That will identify the point of the error. You can find it in your log.txt. Thanks.

Seemed decided to me and, I believe, Dorpond as well. The comments from both you and Joe also implied concurrence.

What else is there to decide?

Thanks. :)

So I've fixed this particular problem for b81, but there's a bigger issue. It seems that setting waypoints when dragging a token allows the use of the middle mouse button, a.k.a. button3, but not while in "measuring mode". While in measuring mode the only way to set a breakpoint is with the spacebar.

This bigger issue of differences in the mouse UI between tool modes is not going to be fixed in 1.3. Sorry.

This sounds more like a network driver issue. Can you get one or two of your players to connect and try with an older version? Have you tried bringing up the Task Manager (I assume you're using Windows) and looking at the cpu statistics?

I'm not sure what else to look at unless the problem can be recreated or somehow isolated...

Hm. I must have had a senior moment. I'll go back and check those emails again.

yesterday I was working on an update for my auto teleporter drop in and I encountered about 3 'unexpected error's. I was in a hurry though and they were none fatal so I didn't pay attention to them. They did seem to appear on 'random' intervals (as in no clue why they happened). Just now I thought of testing the new build with the new autoteleporter and 'after a while' the following error occured:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at net.rptools.maptool.model.Zone.<init>(Zone.java:316)
at net.rptools.maptool.model.Campaign.<init>(Campaign.java:125)

It seems an autosave problem and I have no idea whether that was occuring last night on my other pc. Just thought I mentioned it here.
System: windows XP 3Gb. Settings 1024, 65, 5. Tested with autoteleporter campaign (in the drop-in section).
I checked the log as well, but same error.

I haven't had this specific problem, but I have experienced an issue with b80 in which players report that all tokens will disappear from a map until they click on the map to force a refresh. It happened on a particular map when I (the GM) moved or executed a macro on an NPC token, but it never affected all the players simultaneously and wasn't consistent in which players it affected. The issue resolved itself halfway through the session, and I haven't been able to reproduce it. No errors. I chalked it up to another one of those "phantom bugs" I tend to find, and maybe it is since it sounds unrelated to this other issue.

(FWIW, server had all settings enabled including Individual Fog. It was a Vision->Night enabled map, but there was no fog enabled on that particular map.)

Scratch that, I was able to reproduce the issue! It looks like a player has to have a token selected for the problem to show up. In the attached campaign file:

[1]Start a server with all options enabled and have a client connect as a player
[2]On the player/client end, select one of the PC tokens (except "Rhyd'ley", which is not owned by All Players)
[3]On the GM/server end, move or execute a macro on one of the NPC (monster) tokens. The player instance may now show an empty map until the Map pane is clicked. I've found the problem doesn't occur 100% of the time, but it happens enough that you should experience it.


Chalk one up for my sanity! Not a show-stopping error, but certainly annoying.

The new colors for buttons are not working correctly.

Specifically, for button color; darkgray is lighter than gray but not as light as lightgray, and for button font; pink shows as black.
