MapTool 1.3 Development Build 53

[trevor]

The "Let's get this thing stable again" build

This build is an attempt to stabilize 1.3, so pretty much only critical bug fixes.

I apologize to all the other feature contributions. I've got those queued up and will put them in b54.

Build 53 (3/10/09)
* Fix bug: aura is trumping bright light
* Fix bug: dragging a token is too sensitive going left or up on initial drag
* Fix bug: not specifying an aura color freezes up MT
* Fix bug: bright light is not clearing out shadow/colored light
* Fix bug: java not fully shutting down when closing the app
* Fix bug: auras not honoring vbl
* Fix bug: vbl not updating immediately when switching to/from Player View
* Spanish translation update (Contributed by Patricio)

Craig W
* Fix bug: fix some annoyances with returning JSON objects/arrays and numbers from user defined functions
* [macro(): { ... }] will now strip leading trailing spaces from output so that
returns after [h: ] and before a single [r: ] wont be inserted into ouput.
* Only properties that belong to the current property type for the token can be
read via variables to make it consistant with setting properties as a variable.
You can still use getProperty()/setProperty() to refer to the other "hidden"
properties.
* Macro Link ToolTips will no longer throw a null pointer exception if the Lib:token
does not exist.
* The problems with [frame(): { ... }] frames dissapearing should now be fixed.
* Evaluated ToolTips for Campaign and Global macro buttons should no longer throw
Null Pointer exceptions.
* JSON additions (this should round out all the JSON functionality)
* json.count(array, value, [start]) - Returns the number of times value occurs in
the array, starting from 'start' index (defaults to 0).
* json.indexOf(array, value, [start]) - Retunrs the index of the first occurance
of value in the array starting from index 'start' (defaults to 0).
* json.merge(json, json [, ...]) - Merges json arrays or json objects. For arrays
the values are simply appened to the end of the array. For objects where the
key exists in more than one object the last version of the value is used.
* json.unique(array) - Returns the array with no duplications (order is not
preserved).
* json.removeAll(json, json [, ...]) - Removes all the values/keys from the first
object or array that are in the other objects or arrays.
* json.union(json, json [, ...]) - Returns an array with the union of all of the
keys (in the case of objects) or values (in the case of arrays).
* json.difference(json, json) - Returns an array with the differs of all of the
keys (in the case of objects) or values (in the case of arrays).
* json.intersection(json, json [, ...]) - Returns an array with the intersection of
all of the keys (in the case of objects) or values (in the case of arrays).
* json.subset(json, json [, ...]) - Returns 1 if all of the keys (in the case of
objects) or values (in the case of arrays) are contained in the first object/array.

Curiously, between yesterday and today's code, the tokens are no longer visible while dragging from resource library to the map.

I'm not having this problem.

It was a new feature I was working on, but it was causing some issues, so I pulled it out so that I could get this build out

Don't know what I'm doing wrong here, but I am unable to get auras to work.

Using a web start of b51, 52 or 53, I open the default campaign, go straight to properties and add "Aura - 1 : aura square 1.50#00ff00" as a light source, drop a token, make it have vision and add the aura light source. Set the map vision to "night" and turn on FOW. Drop another token, give it sight and a light source, Ctrl-I to reveal, and the aura never shows up.

I've obviously forgotten something somewhere, but can't find it. Help?

[Wigs]

thanks for the new build, i'll try to but it through the ringer today

edit: just a quick 5 min run, tokens move smoothly, loading previous maps, no grid changed needed. javaw.exe stop immediatly upon exit

well for me its working great. but untill i really get into some big macros i wont know aobut that side of it


Trevor are there any plans/is there any way to fix the player made tokens? currently all my players tokens have to be emailed to me and put in my resources as the gm before the game? since this program supports file sharing would it be possible for everyone to log on with their own custom tokens and they be shared with everyone? if its a bandwidth issue maybe when you connect all players auto send their tokens to gm and the rest of the files get distributed from the gm after the initial xfer

i'm not a java whiz so i dont know how much of a chore this would be. but its honestly my only complaint

Since your aura is 1.5, make sure your new map is set for 1 and not 5 (I think it is called Distance Per Cell - that first box in the new map dialog box). If it is set for 5, the aura will be so small that you won't see it.

Players can just drag their own tokens from the Resource Library to the Map during game. This has always been the case.

I used 1.3B53 last night during game and didn't have any issues. Great job Trevor!

If I put a token with aura under VBL, Maptool start sending "An unexpected error..." warning.

I can retake control by clicking "close" several times and then deactivating the aura via "Map Explorer" Panel

This under Windows XP and Java 1.6.0_12-b04

I think he may be referring to the "?" problem where the token arrives before the image asset and thus the token gets assigned the unknown image asset id.

Ahh. Didn't catch that in the commit comments.

Ahh good catch, I can guess what the problem is, will be an easy fix

This is high on my priority list for b54

So you have more to work with Trevor. You can recreate by adding an aura to your token and throwing it under VBL:
