Fixing drawings

ARRGH! I just drew a whole bunch of stuff on the Hidden layer instead of the Object layer. Is there any way to switch layers of drawings I already made?

The cover of the Five Shires Gazeteer has a couple of good halfling pics - no warlocks, but two of them would be good rogues or fighters.

While we're asking for more layers, a "100% guaranteed to go on top" layer above the token layer would be useful for scribbling temporary drawings.

I'm starting on the "space bar reveals to all players" feature. I'm finding the keyboard handling is really unreliable. Half the time when I start the app, the space bar doesn't work at all (in this tool only) until I restart. Here's the code so far (it just pops up a pointer at the moment...

Until you roll 00 and it counts as a hit instead of a miss - wait, I guess you're just printing the roll anyway, so the user knows that 0 means 100.

Thanks, that's very helpful!

Now here's hoping I can get this finished and distributed to my players before my game on Wednesday...

Development: resetting a tool

I'm trying to add a new tool to maptool (the line-of-sight/concealment tool I suggested here ). I have small set of data stored with the tool (the points clicked on, basically) and I want to clear them when the user chooses a new tool or loads a new map. Is there a method to override for this or som...

You're right, I forgot that you get numbers from 1 to 10 instead of 0 to 9. It should be [x=1d10 - 1] [y=1d10 - 1] [hit_roll = 10*x+y] [reversed = 10*y+x] Which gives you numbers from 00 to 99. You'd need to add something else to convert 00 to 100. I don't understand why you thought "x+y" ...

For the flip, I'd say it's clearer to roll each die separately.

[x=1d10]
[y=1d10]
[hit_roll=10*x+y]
[flipped=10*y+x]

I'm a vi + make guy - is there any way to build and run from the commandline without using Eclipse? (I understand build.xml is for building a distributable package.)

I don't see any stickies there - can you give me a link to the post you're talking about?

I got around my problem for now by deleting lib/src and lib/javadoc, BTW, but that's obviously not the "right" thing to do.

buld failure with svn

Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask for development help - I didn't see a better forum. I checked out maptool/trunk and common.build/trunk from svn, and install ant and the pack200 task. When I type "ant" everything seems to build ok but the packaging step fails with: repacking src=...

4E / D&D Miniatures simple line-of-sight

D&D 4E line-of-sight (and line-of-effect) works by drawing lines between one corner of a source square to all 4 corners of a target square - if one or two are blocked, the target has cover, and if three or four are blocked they have superior cover. (I guess if adapting it to a hex grid, you'd dr...
