Notes
- Please post clarifications about this build to this thread
- Post bug reports in the MapTool->Bug Report forum
- New default images (including brand new, super awesome, top down tokens from Devin Night), to get them do Help->Restore Default Images, you'll probably have to restart MT to see the new folders under Default
- I'm still looking for default images, if you would like to include your original work (read: copyright and license free) please post the image or link in this thread for consideration

Is this a very subtle "First Post", or was there some content missing ?

It was a very subtle "Let's not forget about this, this time" post.

Trevor,

your welcome to use any of the tokens here
http://gallery.rptools.net/v/contrib/Cw ... er_Tokens/

and I have a couple of overlays here
http://gallery.rptools.net/v/contrib/Cweord/Overlays/

and object stamps here

http://gallery.rptools.net/v/contrib/Cw ... ct_Stamps/

If it's in the Gallery, you can have it.

If there is anything specific you are looking to add, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

The new states look really cool, but how are they meant to be used?

EDIT: I meant the state icons in the resource library.

Love the new top-down tokens (one mysteriously made its way into my avatar...)! Very glad to see AidyBaby's states in the default resources.

Keith- They're mostly named after conditions for D&D4e (though I think I see some Savage Worlds in there), but I think they should generalize to most other games.

I am all for this. Though I don't currently play anything but fantasy, I think it behooves the community to have some default images(tokens at least) for other game types if we can find some to be donated. Modern/Military/Supers and Sci-Fi would be the best bet for getting token images for, with Shogun, Western, Mecha being lesser used genres that if we can find images for (Jector?) we could use.

For reference, these were commissioned from devinnight at fouruglymonsters.com for a few bucks each. Very, very good pricing with great results. I highly recommend the service

Awesome.

Not sure if this is what you meant, but you can use them as overlays on your tokens. In the Campaign Properties, there's a 'States' tab that lets you populate the states menu with whatever conditions and images you like.

Better and better! Thanks for the new build!!!

A "release" comment: Don't forget to remove the Save: 1.3b50 Compatibility Mod toggle...

Thanks, that's exactly what I meant. I didn't realize you could overlay images like that for states. I had been using the default circles and X's.

Keith, I've created quite a few states that are specific for Hero. They are posted in various threads that discuss Hero or Champions. I believe most of them are also in my gallery: http://gallery.rptools.net/v/contrib/RP ... ?g2_page=1

Some of them would be replaced with token image changes at some point. For example, I would like to do top down tokens that actually display a force field being on, or using a particular power, that sort of thing.
