My bad Wolph- Its the one with the tree trunks and invisible canopies- I believe the trick I was attributing to Reckless is actually yours (or both of yours?) Some of the text on your bag of tricks page seems to credit him for it. Just tryin to give credit where its due :) Thanks for making the bag ...

I was thinking of using the buildings in more of a 'flash intro' capacity- where you got your panning camera shot that zooms in on the tower of the castle and then resolves to a top down view, maybe some flickering flame or running water... I hadn't considered creating that much 3D content but if yo...

Oh yeah- I have been reading some posts here and on the cartographers guild about 2D maps rendered in 3D. I was musing about how to make a bunch of 3D buildings for my library and then I started playing around with sketchup- http://sketchup.google.com/ One of the tools lets you take a picture of a h...

Now that you mention it Maptool does seem to have a kind of 'FF3 on super Nintendo with better graphics' kind of charm to it. Thats beautiful. Don't ever lose that. I would love to see some dynamic environmental elements like running water or flickering firelight that enhance that style though. Mayb...

Sweet! thanks man I will have an updated version of that setup here soon. I have been working furiously on this month's cartographers guild challenge- 'dragons lair'.

*For clarity- This is Telarus's ED3 campaign with a drop in inventory system by pyronmancer2k edited by me* Right on- its still kinda rough but here is the current version and some notes... There are 3 template tokens- a hero token, and a spellcaster token and an NPC merchant token. Copy the templat...

The directions to this are kinda confusing and a couple people have asked me about it so I will attempt to shed some light on this. Here's what I did... 1-Drop the library token into your campaign and save- then reload it. 2-Go to 'Edit', 'Campaign Properties' and click the 'Token Properties' tab *A...

Yo Adrian! I DID IT!!! So I got the inventory setup on my campaign and I think this is pretty do-able. The good news- I have a merchant, Inventory tracking, a way to track and attune spell matrices and a function for tracking thread weaving to items, group patterns etc. It stores and manages all the...

Sounds like you're in player view with the lights out... Try clicking view and see if 'player view' is selected- if so- unselect. Also go to 'map' and make sure that the fog of war is off and vision is set to day. Once you get the lights turned on go to 'window' then select campaign. With the campai...

On the face I really like the way the layout and look of the inventory as is. I've been exploring the drop-in with the idea that it might make a good skeleton on which to build the inventory system you really want- and potentially offer some other capabilities. I'll spend some more time working on i...

haha sorry I was late to the party! If either of you guys would like to chat with me directly or work on any macros for this frame tonight hit me up on skype- Soultroubadour1

Right on Jack- I'll check that livestream out tonight. I would love to get a peek at some of those updated macros you guys are brewing for this. The universal inventory is interesting. In the most interesting experiment I defined slot types like... MatrixRank1 MatrixRank2 MatrixRank3 I set the slots...

Having the same problem as ghalgor- I have input the values for all of this stuff like 12 times but I still cant access it because those edits leave the value of 'equipment' unresolved. Is there anyone well versed in this drop in that can help me get it up and running?

I see the mystique of Maptool 3D especially since rumor has it that Telarus has a 3D world map for Earthdawn ;) but i can see that the real issue here is risk vs. reward. As it stands there are some great tricks for creating a '3D like' environment in 2D- such as RecklessEnthusiasm's canopy trick. A...

Jack- I'm definitely interested in checking out a livecast of your session If i may. I'm interested in what macros you are using and how to implement them so that could be a tremendous help for me... In case you guys are interested- I spent the better part of the day playing with the universal Inven...
