Not to totally suck up or anything, but you guys rock.

I just want to say thanks.

FWIW, the vision and lighting totally wowed all my players.

Thanks for the note Orchard :)

I've received an updated init panel patch over the weekend and will be integrating that. I'll crank out a couple more bug fixes and do a build.

The bag is turning out to be fairly complex to design to make it do what I want, so it won't show up this build.

I have a question, not sure but when are you planning on having the FOW be done automatically? I have messed around with it in 1.3b30 and so far only the GM can have it updated. No idea if this has been answered or not somewhere else, or if I am just being stupid in some fashion.

Players can remove FoW (Expose Vision) if the GM turns on the ability when she starts the server.

Auto-exposure during movement isn't working currently.

But is high on my list :) I broke it, and now all the pieces have been fixed, so need to put them back together.

Well hen he gets a sex change operation and becomes a she? XD Anyways I was using it like people use he, him, man, human, etc. etc. The generic masculine it, but instead a generic femenistic it.

NEWS FLASH: Several features of MapTool will now be "female only" in order to encourage more women to game.

So, if there is some feature you'd like to see in MapTool, chances are it's already in it, but you just can't use it because you're the wrong sex.

If those features are of particular importance to you, they have operations these days that can accommodate your needs.

If, however, you are one of those people that can not engage in gender-reassignment to unlock the full potential of MapTool, a new tool/service is currently in development.

RPGEscort Tool.

For a small fee you will be able to fire up RPGEscort Tool each gaming session and rent a female player for a session. By default, most RPGEscorts are prepared to play Clerics for a flat fee, though you will find that the more experienced ones are often willing to take other positions for a higher price.

RPGEscort is a Firewall friendly service. No firewall. No RPGEscort. No Exceptions.



(This is a perfect example of why you should not post when you are half awake.)

I think you win. It's a good thing I'm used to controlling the laugh reflex at work, because I nearly fell out of my chair. Good work.

Seriously though, I've been thinking about it, and I'd love to help out with MapTool (or any of the others, but this is the one I use the most), but the only thing I'm good at is writing documentation (can't program much). Is there a need for this, and would the help be helpful? Because I'd be willing to spend some time on that, especially if it meant freeing up the people that can program for other things.

All of a sudden the WebCam feature is looking mighty tempting :)

Oh man, do we ever need help with docs. You might also contact Brad and see if about working with him on some tutorials. Either writing some scripts, or perhaps even some non-video tutorials. Also feel free to check out the wiki documentation, it needs lots of work.
