Always fun responding to an almost 8 year old post, but I just had to look this up myself, as I wanted to use actual files from the default resource pack to update my campaign states (with those awesome tokens in 'States'. On my Mac running Mojave (10.14.6) I could type this in for the image locatio...

This a great thread--I'm in the same position as @Cronk, having not participated since 2012...

Sounds good: find an issue, add a comment that you are working on it, submit a PR.

What a great idea--I love DropBox, I always forget you can configure it for generic access.

I'll try and post it for review today.

I just noticed you live just a short way down the road. Greetings fellow Californian. It makes sense, but it always surprises me that the Hero System has a bit of a West Coast fan base bias. But considering I used to go to DunDraCon in the 80's to hear Peterson/Harlick/Greer/etc. talk about the gam...

I really am a newb at coding Pretty darn great for a "newb!" My first attempts were much simpler. I don't know what you mean by "reserved" though Reserved = A held action. I was looking at somebody's framework (probably D&D) lately, and they had a nice visual aid: they place...

Ah, much better! There is a lot to like here: did you base this off of any other frameworks? 1) Interesting way to get around the Hero initiative rules and their incompatibility with the Initiative Panel. Have you thought about creating an automated "next segment" macro that would just kee...

I'm excited to try this out, but I'm having (the usual) sorts of problems running it: stack overflows, NPEs, etc.

What memory/stack settings do you recommend?

I branched from b61 (!) to add some Hero-specific changes to the Initiative panel, and now I'm too married to the features to change.

But I think I could do most of it with macros and token properties, I just have to find some time time TIME!

+1 to this too. Although I'm personally reluctant to volunteer to manage the uploads...

+1 The way the app drops right in to a blank map is a pet peeve of mine, and adding this launchpad would greatly improve the overall feel of the app for first-timers/reviewers/etc. Maybe combine the Forums/Bug Report behind a RPTools.net category/button. This would allow for other integration with t...

Thanks for the thoughtful replies. I had missed/overlooked discussions of drop-in JS libraries.

As usual, I find my knowledge of the Forum contents falls short of the Deities/Admins on the site. And I check new posts daily!

Without getting into the specifics of Jagged's suggestion (which has several merits), Azhrei's response begs a bigger discussion: ⋅  There are several Hero System-centric features in MapTools. While some of the features are applicable to other systems (hexes), some are not. ⋅  Th...

Here's my macro: it's pretty vanilla, but useful. [h:res=input("dice||Number of dice","half||Half die|CHECK","plus||+1|CHECK","kill||Killing|CHECK")] [h:abort(res)] [h:abort(dice)] rolled [dice][if(half>0," 1/2","")]d6[if(plus>0,"+1&qu...

I had to write my own macro, which I think the couple of legit Hero frameworks out there already do.
