Re: The Deck Tool
There's actually a decktool-1.0.b2.jar file in the MapTool project. But it's not referenced from anywhere and I don't know what the contents even look like.
I'm working to get the current code base into Git 'cuz we're going to start using that at some point, and while working on that I came across the JAR file.

Re: The Deck Tool
Naw, that seems to be a Lib:Deck token that does all the work in MTscript. I was referring to Java code that had been compiled and was in the lib/ directory of the ZIP file that MapTool is in...
Re: The Deck Tool
I know that, i was referring to wings desire for a deck solution, which for now, that seems to be the most readily available answer.

Re: The Deck Tool
I like the idea of a deck tool. I would love to be able to set up a game of Arkham horror or Zombies!!! and play with my friends across the country. Scanning in all those game pieces and decks would be a chore though.I think a customizable size two sided token creator type tool would be useful in creating the cards.
Re: The Deck Tool
DeckTool contains 3 source files that are models for Deck, Card, and DeckDefinition (actually, that last is an interface). That's all there is at this point.Azhrei wrote:Naw, that seems to be a Lib:Deck token that does all the work in MTscript.

Re: The Deck Tool
Really if there were some good macro functions to interact with tables then we could quickly and easily get deck like functions with only a few lines.

Now that 1.3 is just about final, do we have any idea where this is in the list of priorities for 1.4?

Re: The Deck Tool
It won't be unless someone REALLY want's to do the dev work to get it integrated AND it does not require a large effort to plug into the existing code(doubtful). There is existing code for a deck tool, however, it is fairly small and useless at this point.. more like a specification starting point that any real usable code from what I have been told.Jade wrote:Now that 1.3 is just about final, do we have any idea where this is in the list of priorities for 1.4?
1.4 has some very specific goals in mind and a very small number of user visible features are being added. The main things which will affect users is:
- Changes in the code behind light/vision/VBL to make it work faster/better
- Movement Blocking(I am not 100% sure that this will make it or not...have not checked the latest status)
- Implementation of Javascript
- UI changes to how lights and sight are configured
EDIT: blah.. knew I was missing some stuff. Here is a high level overview of what is planned.
I save all my Campaign Files to DropBox. Not only can I access a campaign file from pretty much any OS that will run Maptool(Win,OSX, linux), but each file is versioned, so if something goes crazy wild, I can always roll back to a previous version of the same file.
Get your Dropbox 2GB via my referral link, and as a bonus, I get an extra 250 MB of space. Even if you don't don't use my link, I still enthusiastically recommend Dropbox..

Re: The Deck Tool
That lists "support for card decks/hands etc." Anyway, I'm excited for the continuing improvements to Maptool.

Re: The Deck Tool
Ah... It's not something I recall(though... my memory is pretty darn bad!) us talking about on the dev list. Of course... that list could still be in flux for some of the things that are not near the top of that list, so don't count your chickens before they are in Maptool...Jade wrote:That lists "support for card decks/hands etc." Anyway, I'm excited for the continuing improvements to Maptool.
