Hey all, I know there are some Linux gurus out there. Can anyone give me a quick and dirty for having my TS2 server start on boot on my linux server?

Thanks!

I'd love to employ you. Can't afford to pay a lot, but I've tried getting a couple folks to make maps for some of the modules my friend and I have written (to replace my crappy Playskool maps). They start out all gung-ho, then I never hear from them again. If you're interested, please PM me... Here ...

I tend to use squares simply because it's the default. That, and I don't get too much into the minutiae of a game system when it comes to movement and distance. If they're a foot off their range increment, I'm not going to worry about it.

Ahh. It saves the currently displayed map's position and zoom when doing a Save Campaign. I was thinking you meant all the maps in a campaign. This actually broke in b31. So far I haven't had a lot of maps in a campaign. The last used map was my biggest concern. But yeah, I was guessing when I said...

That's cool.

Perhaps than an option for the measuring tool to measure in real distance or via the selected grid would be best.

FYI, I confirmed the reported bug as well. And as I recall, this was reported on b31 and corrected on b32, or something close to that.

Are you sure about that? I don't recall MT every preserving the position and zoom levels in campaign files (though it should). I just tried it with b31. Tried different zooms and positions on different maps. Saved campaign. Restarted MT and reloaded campaign and all maps were at 1:1 and the 0,0 pos...

I guess I'm not following. How would it measure if there were no basis for measurement? Meaning some sort of distance standard, therefore assuming a grid with cells of that distance.

Some things I've noticed. - Last zoomed area isn't being saved with the campaign. I have to keep moving the screen to the location where all the player tokens are and zoom in appropriately. This worked fine in older versions, pre b32 I think. - This was probably in all versions, but if a player's to...

This was broken and fixed from 31 to 32 I think. Looks like some old code crept in?

Well, they're posted as "natural" animals. I figure there are enough dragon and other creatures to account for those other things.

I'll be posting a lot of dinosaurs on RPGMapShare.com in the following weeks. I've got a few up there already, but have a lot of new ones to put up. Here's the latest, a Cryolophosaurus (yes, supposedly a real dinosaur). 5 poses and a portrait. These are the scaled down images. Here's the link to th...

Thanks, man. It's always good to hear.

If you go to View and click Coordinates, you'll see on-screen coordinates (left and top) so players can tell the GM where they're moving. I use it extensively in my play-by-post games.

Phergus! You da man! Unless you're a woman...

Thanks!
