* Sorting the global and campaign panels on load.
* New sortby property on buttons that is the first thing sorted by.
* The sort function pads all numbers (not just dice code) to 4 digits with leading zeroes to help with implied orders (ie, 2 should be before 10).
* Fixed the existing bug when duplicating buttons in the campaign panel.
* Added a checkbox indicating the button should be applied to selected tokens, so you don't need to right click and use the "Run For Each" option.

Contributed by Jay

* Added bar.[bar-name] variable and setBar()/getBar() functions for macros.
* Added GM/Owner/Other view support to all of the states and bars.

NOTES:
* Please post any bugs you find to this post, any clarifications of usage should be posted as a new thread in the MapTool forum
* There's an odd bug that causes a stackoverflowexception sometimes the first time you use a long html chat message
* The download size jumped from 12m to 19m due to the inclusion of the javascript and supporting libraries. We'll be taking a closer look to see if we can trim that back down somehow
* Thanks for all your testing and patience !

Documentation from k.fan


* input() function - asks the user for multiple variables at once.
Basic example:

will create a single popup asking for values for all three variables.


Many more options are available, which will be detailed in a separate
post by knizia.fan. For example, a macro can create this dialog box:


********************************************************************

* abort(val) function - if val is zero, aborts execution and later
calculations are not performed


********************************************************************

List functions
These functions operate on a string of the form "item1, item2, item3, ..."
Each of them takes an optional last argument that gives an alternate
list delimiter (the default is ",").

* listGet(list, index) - returns the entry in the index position
(first position is index 0)
* listDelete(list, index) - returns a new list with the item at index
position deleted.
* listCount(list) - returns the number of list entries
* listFind(list, target) - returns the index of the target string in
the list, or -1 if none of the list entries match.
* listAppend(list, target) - adds target to the end of the list
* listInsert(list, index, target) - inserts target before the entry at
position index
* listReplace(list, index, target) - replaces the entry at position
index with the target

********************************************************************

String Property functions

These functions operate on a "properties string", which looks like:

"key1=value1; key2=value2; ...".

The functions access and modify such strings.

* getStrProp(properties, key) - find a key and return the value, or ""
if not found
* setStrProp(properties, key, value) - set the value for a key,
inserting it if not present. Returns the new property string.
* deleteStrProp(properties, key) - delete a key. Returns the new
property string.
* countStrProp(properties) - returns how many key/value settings are
in the string.
* indexKeyStrProp(properties, N) - returns the Nth key in the list.
* indexValueStrProp(properties, N) - returns the Nth value in the list.
* varsFromStrProp(properties) - creates variables for each key and
assigns the corresponding value. Returns the number of entries found.


Examples, assuming the variable props is set to "a=3 ; b=bob ; c=cow":

getStrProp(props, "b") returns "bob"
setStrProp(props, "d", 44) returns "a=3 ; b=bob ; c=cow ; d=44 ; "
deleteStrProp(props, "a") returns "b=bob ; c=cow ; "
countStrProp(props) returns 3
indexKeyStrProp(props, 0) returns "a"
indexValueStrProp(props, 0) returns 3
varsFromStrProp(props) assigns values to the variables a, b, and c.

Hooray! The promised thread with full documentation of the new functions is here:

Thanks,

Awesome. Thanks trevor!

WOO HOOO!!!

Bug:
Image rotation of bars and states does not align properly with top-down tokens. The tokens rotate out of the original square, but their states/bars don't move with them.

Not sure if this is a bug or not, but I can't seem to get the webstart to work. I've downloaded the .zip and everything's fine.

Getting Error: Unable to load resource:

http://rptools.net/dist/lib.php/javadoc ... avadoc.jar

I've even tried uninstalling and reinstalling and I'm getting the same thing. Not sure if system specs matter since I haven't had a problem and I think I'm well above specs.

Windows Vista Home Premium SP1
AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual Core 1.91GHz
3 Gigs RAM
Nvidia 8600 GT

It looks awesome gang, thanks for all of the hard work.

It's not just you...

Thirding this issue.

That sounds like a jar file that should be part of the general Java installation, not something from RPTools. What java version do the folks who got things working have, and what java versions do the people that have this error have?

i have the error, I have Java version 1.6.0_05-b13, Windows XP Pro.

Light/Vision still unusable when Individual Views is anabled and playing D&D3.x..
(reported since color lighting was added)

Bummer.

That's going to be a serious killjoy on my next gaming session if not fixed before the 27th....

Initiative Tracker is broken when removing tokens.
(reported last night via e-mails)

These problems have been in place since color was added around b32 and I have been a royal pain in the arse reporting them to Trevor since. In Trevors defense, it isn't easy to fix and time was not on his side.

What I have found though is that it is unusable when Individual Views are enabled and you have a party with mixed visions. This mainly screws up when a Lowlight character and a Darkvision character are in the game. If you play 4th edition where all visions are the same, you shouldn't have a problem. Also, this doesn't seem to have much impact on games set where Individual Views are Off.

Well, since that describes my group perfectly--some have darkvision, some have lowlight (all have some sort of 'special' vision), and we would PREFER to use individual views, then this is certainly a bummer. In the meantime, I'll just turn off individual views until this is fixed. Bummer though. I'd start pestering trevor too, but I'm sure you are doing a great job of it.
