Re: How do I install MapTool?

The download page is https://github.com/RPTools/maptool/releases/tag/1.14.3 Scroll to the very bottom, and find the "Assets" section - it should be the very last part. If all you see is the word "Assets, there should be a little black arrow to the left of it, pointing right. Click on ...

Re: Swap mouse button functionality when creating VBL

What operating system are you on? Rather than changing the button functionality within MapTool, you should be able to change the hardware definitions. Most mouse drivers have options for that sort of thing. Windows 11 has it built into the OS settings, regardless of the mouse. (Which I just tested, ...

Re: Accessing and Contributing to MapTool and Related Pages: Join Discord and Ask for Account?

Discord is where most of the action is these days, and most of the active devs are there every day. Not sure exactly where you should introduce yourself, but documentation under Maptool Development seems like as good a place as any. They'll get you pointed in the right direction. (That's if you want...

Gonna need a little more detail, starting with what you mean by "map barriers."

Re: runing a server and things keep crashing or freezing

Do any of the tokens have auras set? I know there's a bug in the current version when a token with an aura goes into VBL. (It should be fixed when 1.14.0 is released.) Doesn't sound like it, but I thought I'd ask. BTW, there's a lot more traffic on the Discord channel than here, so you might get a f...

Re: Campaign Repository question

I cannot speak to how things are supposed to work, but this works for me: Create the repository file in MapTool. This should be a .zip file. Extract the contents, that is to say, the index.gz file and the assets folder. The index.gz file is compressed, and should be left as is. The assets folder has...

Re: Seeking Advice: Balancing Real-Life Commitments with RPG Campaigns

I knew a guy who quite one job and was fired from at least two because gaming was more important.

Reminded me of a bit from Ronin:

Jean-Pierre: The ronin could have hired themselves to new masters. They could have fought for themselves. But they chose honor. They chose myth.
Sam: They chose wrong.

Re: Question about layers before I make a Feature Request

Purely a workaround, but I will note that the z-order can be set with macros, using setTokenDrawOrder() and getTokenDrawOrder(). https://wiki.rptools.info/index.php/setTokenDrawOrder https://wiki.rptools.info/index.php/getTokenDrawOrder This gives far more discrete control than "move to front/m...

Re: resolution for maps in MapTool ?

The software I use defaults to 96 pixels per inch. If you go to Edit-->Preferences, you can change the default for new maps, including grid size. (Then change it as needed on a map by map basis, if you get something at a different scale.) Campaign Cartographer doesn't have that particular menu, but...

Re: resolution for maps in MapTool ?

Pixels per cell is adjustable. I believe it defaults to 100, but it can be whatever you want. You adjust it under Map-->Edit Map, or when you create a new map. (there's also an automated tool called Auto Resize on the right click menu of images on the background layer. Instructions at https://wiki.r...

Re: Get all light sources on given map

GetTokens() can take lights as a condition. There are examples.

Re: Handling "in game" fog

Lights can have negative lumen values, which makes for areas of darkness. Never used it myself, but you might find some guidance in the wiki:

Re: createToken from table image results in red question mark

The example on the wiki shows

Code: Select all

json.set("{}"
instead of

Code: Select all

json.set(""
I have no idea if the different matters, but it seems like it ought to.

Re: createToken from table image results in red question mark

I thought table images were automatically preloaded and sent out?

Is the table not set to "Show Table to Players"?
