Re: On my own, how can I manage my preferences?

I'm guessing you are using MTPlayer token to play your sounds which plays to all clients at once and if you're playing in person you don't want it to play to all the clients, just the server. There's a line near the bottom for the audio macro. [H: execLink(audioByte,1,"all")] where you can...

Re: Adding selected campaign macros to right click menu of PCs

Not sure I can explain it better. "macroName" is just the name of any macro you define and is just a placeholder.

Re: Adding selected campaign macros to right click menu of PCs

If you're handling all the tokens, then I don't think you need to get very fancy. Just create a macro to "Initialize" your token. The "do something when this happens in MT" is called an Event Handler and those are very limited. Sometimes you can piggyback off an event not related...

Re: Adding selected campaign macros to right click menu of PCs

It could be a little tricky, but it can be done. To prevent players from placing tokens on the map, I would have a mouse over event check the token. Basically, the default value of a token will run a macro, do the checks, then set the field to blank once done so it doesn't run again. You can use thi...

Re: Venturing into the World of D&D DMing

Although, I'm more than 50% sure this is a chat bot post since asking about Roll20 macros and not MapTool macros is a bit of a giveaway. MapTool macro system, imo, is far easier and powerful than the other VTTs out there. If you're looking to use detailed character stats I recommend one of the exist...

Re: Salutations, esteemed Framework users!

There are threads for the 5E frameworks in our Discord. You'll probably get a better response from there. But generally speaking, if there is one macro that displays the compendium information you can limit access with the following line at the top of macro. [H: assert(isGM(),"No player access ...

Re: macroLink issue resurfaces...

Put an H in front of broadcast and specify the targets if not "all".

Also, NPCs probably return "" for tokenOwner, so it then sends to all instead. I would use an if(isNPC()) for 2 different broadcasts.

Re: macroLink issue resurfaces...

if autoexecute is unchecked, means you don't want it run when the link goes to chat. Also, links sent to chat with autoexecute on don't run for the person posting it, but do for other clients that see it. I would just use execLink instead.

Re: V 1.43.3, how to increase memory???

Just below the line java-options=-Xss8M you can add java-options=-Xmx8G but it would probably be more like 7G because it can't take what doesn't exist. On older systems and win32 it can't go much above 4G because of win32 addressing limits. Imo, making this change won't change much on performance if...

Re: Corrupt Campaign, END Header Not Found, Zip File Empty! Please Help!!!

I got your file and was able to repair most of it. Many of the images were missing after the repair and a couple of the image reference links. For example Plank_Dark_Medium_H1_2x1 Stone_Snow_Medium_A2_1x1 Snow_Drift_A15_5x5 Snow pile 6 - 3x2 Stone_Snow_Medium_A1_1x1 were missing and some background ...

Re: Corrupt Campaign, END Header Not Found, Zip File Empty! Please Help!!!

Look in your backup folder and compare to current save. Upload the biggest file to file share like google drive and post link and I'll have a look at it.

As many people learn, make progressive backups. Hard drive space is cheap and abundant. I usually include a date in the file name.

Re: layout.dat (access is denied)

User permission issue is usually a windows or anti-virus problem. Remove all installs of MapTool and Java. Restart Computer. Try installing by right clicking on .exe install file and Run as Admin. If that doesn't work try changing the shortcut to do the same (Properties | Shortcut | Advanced button)...

Re: Nobody can connect to my PC after starting a server

My guess is you have to reserve your ip on for your computer on your router then set up port forwarding. Our discord channel has a network troubleshooting guide.

Most of the action happens on Discord these days. Probably worthwhile to go there and ask around, but afaik, no one has.

Re: Save text to external file

How is your data saved in the campaign? When I did the first db I put everything in a table, then saved (cached) everything in to variables. Nowadays, I put db stuff in to macros in csv format where it's easy to copy/paste.
