I agree Azhrei - the more I have been thinking about this the more I want a single place for all my tools I don't like the idea of having DM Genie open, Maptools, and My voice chat program, any pdf's or other files. This is a lot to manage while trying to run a game. So if we can combine tools into on window Maptools and other tools developed by this great team that would make the DM's life much easier. So I see a Campaign Tool that has all the functions that have been talked about else where but have the JFrames for Maptool, InitTool, DiceTool and maybe even TokenTool.Azhrei wrote:Wow, that JIDE stuff is pretty sweet! It looks like the first demo has semantics for dragging and docking that are very similar (if not identical) to the previous FlexDock library.
I also like the ability to drag between two JFrames. That's not important right now, but I could see DiceTool and InitTool being integrated as components of a single larger tool (that includes MapTool) and then letting the user create multiple top-level windows ("JFrames") or simply dragging all the interesting stuff into a single window. The advantage here would be for people who use dual monitors: one monitor for MapTool, and one for all other tools but with the ability to integrate them into a single top-level window. Folks with a single monitor would probably want a single window to hold everything...

Well, if people wouldn't reply to spammers and simply click the "Report this post" button, I'd get'em cleaned up properly! Nothing I can do about it now, short of deleting these three posts.

I'm willing to take the bullet... I'll just go post something nonsensical somewhere else on the forum to make up for losing this very important post from my count.
Maptool is the Millennium Falcon of VTT's -- "She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts."
