If you go to View and click Coordinates, you'll see on-screen coordinates (left and top) so players can tell the GM where they're moving. I use it extensively in my play-by-post games.

Thanks!

My pleasure. You give a lot to the gaming community through your websites. Just returning the favor in small way.

Ignore this post, was going to put a bug, but turned out to be user error.

When I use one of the batch files to launch it with 1gb memory, it opens a dos command window that I can't close. Is there something I can edit to make it run without that command window?

Edit the bat file change the command from

javaw -Xmx512M -jar maptool-*.jar run

to

start javaw -Xmx512M -jar maptool-*.jar run

D20 Spells

Blacklight : 20 0#ffffff
Light : 20 40#000000
Dancing Lights (torches) : 20 40#000000
Daylight : 60 120#000000
Continual Flame : 20 40#000000
Darkness : 20 0#666666
Deeper Darkness : 60 0#666666
Faerie Fire : 0 5#000000

I think darkness is written correctly if I understand the syntax. Obviously, black won't appear until color is actually rendered.

Hey, wait a minute... Shouldn't darker effects have lower hex values and brighter areas have higher hex values? I think we have it reversed.

Trevor, could this be why the shadowy areas of one source are imposing on the brighter areas of another?

Disclaimer - I only had 4 hours of sleep last night, so my brain is a little fuzzy today.

The actual color has nothing to do with brightness vs shadowy. It's simply the color it uses to draw that shape.

I'll talk about the current dev impl in the dev thread to clear things up
