RPTools.net

so the situation is that two of my friends have Win 8.1, they both DLed Maptools b91.zip and unzipped it with WinRaR. now they are unable to open the program and i'm unable to find a solution. please help? has anyone else have this problem?

I just would like a straight up answer...... which Java version/build are we using? 7 version or are we still going with 6?

so i know i do alot of drawing on maptools, and between adding in objects and adding in the VBL, it gets really boggy. and when i use maptool in GM view, it still takes a long pause between inputs for the program to respond. so is there a way to make it alot smoother and faster? Edit: so i was fiddl...

Cool, thanks for inviting people to watch. :) I presume you meant CDT and EDT since we're currently in daylight saving time, but you might want to just remove the "S" and write those as "CT" and "ET". yesh thats what i meant .....and tonight did NOT go well....twitch t...

OMFG why didnt i know about this before!?? (sniff sniff tear) lol

not sure if i can do this but i just thought i would put it out there for people to enjoy. i'm not trying to get my numbers up or anything quite honestly. just a place for peeps to come by and have fun and laugh and enjoy live D&D gameplay. our group also plays on a home-made projector table we ...

Fish thank you for the tip! i re-did all my circle VBL and changed them to the cross type. great idea! tonight i'll be testing that out and seeing how it all works.

i'm gonna try and get trained by my friend in Photoshop, or GIMP, then maybe i can actually do some decent maps.

well i've been trying to add in light effects in the drawing aspect in MTs, but its hard to do in certain areas. i look at other maps being done and its just unreal what people can do in MTs, i'm so jealous

i know i can do basic maps from scratch and put in items from the library but to me it all just doesnt look that "realistic". so i was hoping what do you all do to make ur maps more detailed and more realistic. what kinds of tips and tricks that are simple but effective when it comes to ma...

Do you have FOW on when you're editing the map? Basically, never have FOW on unless you're running a server. If you want to test FOW then create a 2nd instance and log on as a player and then test that way. If you're using large images for regular tokens, then when rotating could cause a delay unti...

When do you notice the lag? When moving the tokens? Are you using FOW and VBL? Do you have large open areas? Do you have lots of "circle" vbl? What's the vision range set to? Are you using individual views? I've recently discovered a FOW lag issue that my lib:players token fixes, so I nev...

when ever i'm building a map from scratch, the more i put into the map the more "lag" i have on the map. anyway to fix this? and my max/min mem on the program is: 1024/64 stack size 6 as for my PCs hardware i'm running: 16gigs of Ramm @ 1600mhz, 8 core CPU Bulldozer 3.9ghz for each core, 2...

OH....crap i'm so sorry i didnt know :\

my stack size is 2 atm. whats the max that it can be?
