Or is anyone else having a problem with the forum not marking topics read after they've viewed them? If I click on 'mark all topics read' it marks them, but if I'm just reading along it keeps them as new.

+1, the manliest man in the world should definitely be our spokesman.

As far as that goes, I concur. But there's no way to tell Maptool "Hey, the sun's out" except potentially to go through and find -every single lightsource- that might be affecting the map and turn it off. Now, this isn't a huge issue to me, personally, but I can see how it might be frustra...

This is in reply to a slightly older post in the thread, but as a note: the notes show up when you click on something in the hidden layer also. I use this for keying out my maps, so I don't have to go to my hardcopy notes too often (whether it's an adventure I've pulled from a pdf or my own boiled i...

I tried the previous one, and it's been invaluable. If nothing else, the bracket-matching is great and helps avoid a lot of confusion in those particularly lengthy macros.

Thanks! I tried breaking it up in different ways, but it's still a fairly new syntax to me.

Well, you nailed it. After reading that response, I went scrounging through the map explorer. Found culprits for the three it ended up happening with. Thanks

[h: RacialBonus = 0] [h: Skill = "Listen"] [h: RacialBonus = if( (Skill == "Listen" || Skill == "Spot" || Skill == "Search"), if(Race=="Half-elf",1,if(Race=="Elf",2,RacialBonus),RacialBonus), RacialBonus) ] Ok, I'm a little further now... ...

Aaand in the further adventures, it would seem it only happens with .rptok files, and only if they are named something other than the filename to start. That is to say when I change the naming convention to 'increment' instead of random two digit and drag the token on for the first time, it works fi...

Ok. It's probably actually somewhere in the way either maptool in general, or varsFromStrProp() accesses token data, actually... 1. Open up maptool b45 2. With the name how it is (my maptool automagically adds a number to the end of the name) you can run the macro just fine. 3. Remove everything aft...

So, I'm working on some code to handle the skills we use most frequently in my 3.5 campaign. And rather than tossing out everything I've done and adopting someone else's perfectly usable macro sets, I wanted to roll my own. But, today when I started trying to handle class and race bonuses to skills,...

Not sure, but I may have found a bug in the input() function. I noticed today while editing my macros for skill usage that if the token name was "Grum" then it wouldn't read the token properties into the varFromStrProp() function, but if it was "Grum " (yeah, that's a space at th...

When you're connecting the other computer over the internet, are you inputting your IP address? Or are you finding the game in the rptools listing?

However, I can verify that comcast isn't it, as I'm on comcast and it's working just fine. Your windows box is on a static IP, right? The internal ip, that is. If your desktop gets a different ip every time it renews dhcp, or even just when you reboot it, that would play havoc with your port forward...

Not to mention that the maps built in maptool can use up -way- less memory and storage. Dorpond did a thread on it awhile back, but essentially the maptool maps only store the various objects once, so if you're shuttling it back and forth you end up with a lot larger map file size, I believe.
