Keep at it guys, you're making really, really rapid progress and we users are very grateful.

1.3 final will be especially nice as a plateau that is always consistent for people being brought into the world of maptool. So if you make a tutorial or something you know that the interface in your tutorial video will match what the users are looking at exactly. I think the focus will naturally sh...

So is this release stable? I'm one of the holdouts waiting for stable before I switch from
the ole 1.2.

I really like the new (to me) features of the beta, but if I put a .cmpgn together using some of those features I don't want to lose it.

Is the .cmpgn file format still changing in the betas, or has it been stamped down?

Hey Pyromancer, thanks again for all the help; this was a great leap forward for my ability to run games online.

Well, the last "die" is the same as those last 2 optional dice - it's 1d6 or 2d6. So in meatspace you would actually roll 5 dice when you roll 12, 10, 12, 6, 6 (the highest "hand" possible) or 2 dice when you roll 4, 4, 0, 0, 0 (the lowest hand). I initially phrased it the way I ...

I THink I got it [H: fail = input("Dice1 | d12, d10, d8, d6, d4 | First Die | RADIO | ORIENT=H VALUE=STRING", "Dice2 | d10, d8, d6, d4 | Second Die | RADIO | ORIENT=H VALUE=STRING", "Dice3 | 0, d8, d10, d12 | Third Die | RADIO | ORIENT=H VALUE=STRING", "Dice4 | 0, ...

OK, so apparently it was harder than I thought. I tried doing this to the input, and the input screen looks the way I want, but I can't seem to get the later macro right. [H: fail = input("Dice1 | d4, d6, d8, d10, d12 | Pick First Dice | RADIO | ORIENT=H VALUE=STRING", "Dice2 | d4, d6...

YEah, I can see I need to make 6 discret die roller functions for best results. Roll 2 and rank 'em (add 1d6 to highest) (add 2d6 to highest) Roll 3 and rank 'em (add 1d6 to highest) (add 2d6 to highest) Which I can see should be pretty easy to adapt from your macro. I could do something more elabor...

Oh, I think I get it now. I just needed to change that "d12, d10, d8, d6, d6" to the phrase FromUser and it creates a prompt automatically.

Slick!

I exaggerated; there's 132 valid dice combinations In A Wicked Age.

Wait, how do I send different dice to this? I can see how to get it to roll 12 10 8 6 6 but that's just one of many possibilities.

FREX:

DiceList = "d8, d6, d0, d6, d0"

Will I have to make a separate macro for each possibility? There's about a zillion of them.

THANK YOU! This is SO helpful.

I was wondering if you could do this with a macro (involves passing a parameter). Roll 5 dice, specifying the size of each, like this: Roll(12, 10, 8, 6, 6). Rank the first three highest to lowest, add the last two to the highest ranked result, and show the final result as a vector of the three rank...

I'm wondering how close we are to the next release version of maptool - and I'm toying with the idea of trying the beta, but I'm not sure it's the best thing for my group. When there's a new version of the beta, do you need to re-build every campaign you do? Does each player have to download each up...
