[b61] Movement label tweak (Cosmetic)

Post by palmer »

Inspired by another thread...

Simple little cosmetic option.

Add a TEXT field somewhere in prefs. Have this text displayed after the number on a moving token.

That's it!

Say you set it to "yds". Now as you drag your token, you see [2.7 yds]

Or "feet", showing [15 feet]

A little eye candy, but aids immersiveness that much more, that you're dealing in real distances, not just "grids"

Lets put this in campaign properties rather then in preferences, as each individual campaign may have a different scale.

It belongs as a per map property.

True. Though, it would be nice to be able to set a default for the campaign for properties. Most campaigns aren't going to change their label from map-to-map.

And the easiest place to put that is in the New Map dialog -- simply keep whatever values the user typed in the previous time they used the dialog... Although 1.4 is supposed to have (!) a way of seeing and modifying those settings from within MapTool.
