* New table properties: Visible to players and Player executable
* BugFix: Disable Macro tab in the token editor dialog.
* BugFix: Propagate campaign macro changes to clients in realtime.
-Removed warning message to GM about the campaign needing to be reloaded following campaign macro changes.
-Removed checkbox in application preferences to hide/show warning message.
* BugFix: Macro affect halo artifact caused by aborted drag-and-drop operation.
* BugFix: [Prior to b54 release] "Show Table to Players" functionality was reversed.
* Cleanup: Player macro editing capabilities.
-Players now only have the "Run for Each Selected" option when right-clicking a campaign macro.
-Players no longer get a popup menu when right-clicking on a button group within the campaign macro panel.
-Added player macro editing default checkbox to application preferences. This determines whether or not new macros are player editable by default.

* Revert inet addy lookup (doesn't work well with virtual nats)
* Changed the zoom level display in the statusbar to be editable; a percentage value can be entered in order to jump to a particular zoom level
* Fixed search of the I18N properties for all tools
* Fixed Rename Map's use of parameterized string from I18N
* Added beginning of chat log autosave implementation (currently non-functional) (two fields added to Edit->Preferences; added tooltips on some other fields)
* Add FileFilter for saving maps
* Fixed some NullPointerExceptions in the InitiativePanel
* Parameterized some strings that were hard-coded in InitiativePanel
* Fixed double-click on token in InitiativePanel not forcing players to same view when that mode is on (more work to do on this one)
* Added missing options to instruction strings in i18n.properties
* Updated French translation by forum user 'Natha'
* Fixed "asset://" URL handler so they will work within Swing components properly
* Modified the various messages for server starting/connecting so they were unique and could help identify which path the code had taken.
* Modified "portforward.com" messages to refer to the RPTools HOWTO forum instead.

* moveTokenToMap(ids, map, x, y, zorder) - Moves tokens from current map to specified map.
* moveTokenFrom(ids, map, x, y, zorder) - Moves tokens from specified map to current map.
In both cases ids can be either a single token id or a JSON list of tokens.
* getMatchingProperties(pattern, delim, id) - gets the names of the properties that match pattern from the token.
* getMatchingLibProperties(pattern, lib, delim, id) - gets the names of the properties that match pattern from the lib:token.
* All Strings for macro function errors, roll options, variable prompting etc have been extracted to the language property file so
that they can be translated into other languages.
* Token Properties now match variables and Default Properties in that they are no longer case sensitive
* Fix bug: json.sort now sorts objects of arrays sensibly instead of haphazardly, you can specify the fields to sort by after the direction.
* Fix bug: Token properties should now always be case insensitive, instead of the "some times they are some times they aren't" of previous versions.
* Fix bug: A few null pointer errors fixed in rare conditions in the json.* macro functions
* Fix bug: Several error messages tided up
* Fix bug: A couple of "unlikely to occur" errors that were being ignored or printed to console in MapToolLineParser are now being logged.
* Fix bug: fix an error in json.merge where it can not recognize objects correctly.
* Lights/Auras "repainted" correctly from macros where they need to be
* Fix a null pointer error when calling unknown macros on tokens
* getMacroButtonIndex() function corrected to return number
* Ouput from macro calls are formatted correctly if there is only rolls contained in the output.
* Fix problem with json.type on non json objects.
* copyToken accepts a JSON object in optional argument that allows changing of new token values
* raised limit for loops

A HUGE thank you to all the contributors. If I haven't gotten to your patch yet, don't worry, it's in the queue and there's still a couple 1.3 builds left.

If you find bugs in this release please post them in the MapTool->Bug Report forum.

Questions about functionality or clarifications should be posted directly to this thread.

Loaded the b53 campaign just fine - few features I tested worked as expected. Good job, team! Will post any issues.

[Taragnor]

How do you put in an autosave for the chat logs? There seems to be a function for it in preferences, but whenever i put in a log filename, it just erases it, so I'm not sure what the format is for that.

Added beginning of chat log autosave implementation (currently non-functional)

Played around with light for a little bit. Glad to see all the problems are (so far) eliminated! Excellent build.

[Natha]

Yay to b54 !
So proud to have my name in the patch note

[Cweord]

found one "glitch" bug is a bit of a strong term

On update, your layout settings all return to default - really agrivating if you spent ages getting the perfect layout.

Panes on a second monitor are still blank till you resize them.

and a new one - If you move tables to the second monitor, when you next open MT it resets the layout . . . .

[lmarkus001]

Awesome list of fixes, thanks again and again!!!

New issue:

The window layout is no longer preserved. Every time I load MT I get the default layout.

[Cweord]

Have you tried setting it with out having the tables window?

I found that was causing the issue for me.

I can't get version B54 to start - it throws an NPE at the splash screen, and halts. This is my work computer (just wanted to see it, really) so it may be some sort of restriction on the machine, but here's the exception text:

Code: Select all

I have tried starting it from Windows launcher, and straight from the JAR (the .bat files don't work on this machine, so it may be that the above error is a result of the Java version or something).

1.3.b53 does run on this machine.

As a note, 1.3.b53 works fine on this system.

Edit: or at least, it did. I recently tried to restart 1.3.b53 and now it throws the same error. Hrm.

[raleel]

the LaunchMapTool-OSX.command needs a

perl -pi -e 's/\r\n/\n/g' LaunchMapTool-OSX.command

run on it before it will work. It also extracts as mode 644, and probably really should be 755.

[Rumble]

Okay, rapid follow up: apparently there was some sort of conflict or unfriendliness happening in the .maptool folder after I tried to run version b54. I deleted the .maptool folder and b54 started fine. Will let you know more as I find out more!


Edit: problem seems to have disappeared. No idea what happened. There are some even older versions on this machine (back to b48, I think). Maybe it was just a fluke, a file got corrupted or something.

Rumble, that's odd. The line of code definitely has to do with the .maptool directory being readable. Not sure why it would have changed between the two versions. Might be related to the layouts reverting.

I played with colored vision in 1.3b54...Using a darkvision PC...
Here is the setting :

Top left PC has a torch light source, (6m bright light, 12m shadowy) and a cone aura (detect magic)
Top right PC has a cone light source (18m bright, 36m shadowy) and a round 3m aura (Paladin)
Bottom PC has darkvision 18m (half Orc)
When put in place everything works.

First test : top left pc moves 2 cases down, BING! colored light is broken.


Second test : Top right PCs changes facing of its cone shaped light : BING! again


Third test : Top right PCs changes back the facing of its cone shaped light : Colored light is partially restored

Could be - like I said, it's gone now. I'll see if it happens on my home PC too, when I get home tonight.
