Resizing the Token Ring?
I would really like a 32 pixel token ring. Right now there are 128 & 64 pixel templates. I there an easy way to make a 32 pixel ring?

Creating new templates is super easy, there is documentation on how to do it here:
http://rptools.net/tokentool-doc.php
It doesn't go into detail on how to do it in specific paint programs, although tutorials have been submitted for Paint Shop Pro and Gimp, which I've been negligent in posting (been focused too much on MapTool).
I'll go ahead and get them posted tonight, I'll put them at the same URL.
As a side note, soon as we get MapTool 1.0 out the door (any time now) I'm going to basically rewrite TokenTool with all the feedback we've been collecting, including the ability to simply specify the size of the final image.
Stay tuned !

GIMP Tutorial?
I may be missing it, but I don't see the GIMP tutorial. Have you had a chance to post it yet?

Ahh crap. I got distracted and forgot to put it up.Griogre wrote:I may be missing it, but I don't see the GIMP tutorial. Have you had a chance to post it yet?
As a matter of note, we're replacing the website in a couple days to a wiki that will make it easier to keep the documentation up to date. You can get a preview at docs.rptools.net
I'll post them there. In the mean time, you can send me your email address via private message and I'll send them directly to you.

Intruiging.
I've been playing with the idea lately of creating a .map file that contains a map, any stamps, grid layout, notes, and annotations. That way you can download the map and run it without having to set it up.
The same idea would be pretty cool for token tool to set up the tokens: name, properties, sight, whatever, that could then be loaded into maptool.
At some point these could be combined into a campaign file that has everything you need to run a module. This is a great place for people to create and share, and perhaps even sell.
The tricky part about modifying the token tool this way is that lots of people use tokentool outside of maptool, so the default behavior of just creating images needs to remain.
Perhaps a new CampaignTool that set pulls the images from tokentool, and maps, and text files and stuff and lets you combine them into modules.
