My token don't into the fog area

[Aspid]

I opened the Maptool as default and I can't move to the fog area (as a player) and (as a GM) the token didn't discover the area when I moved it.

I connected to a friend online and he created a square of fog and I can't come in or discover the area.

The funny thing is that I open a campain that I have created and It doesn'y happen, but it should be otherway, default should work and the edit campain doesn't.

Also I open this campain and started a server as a player and I can go into the black area (fog area), but I don't know if it is because I have GM permition or not.

I dont know if this is a bug or what.

My fried said that maybe is this way,

I'm using the last version.

Yo te lo puedo explicar Aspid es uno d emis jugadores y tenemos una problema con a niebla de guerra.

El caso es que los tokes de jugadores no puedes atravesarla, hemos remirado las opciones de tokens y preferencias de la campaña y nada.

Mas en concreto pueden atravesarlas pero no borran la niebla, ni dejan la niebla blanda, la oculta los token pero muestra el fondo.

Gracias de antemano, tengo una campaña oficial completa con sus encuentrso listos y la niebla me vendria muy pero que muy bien para los dungeons.

Un saludo.

Hola Iruya

Lo primero sería saber con qué versión están jugando, porque la niebla de guerra ha sufrido algunos cambios en las más recientes. Lo segundo sería saber si la opción Mapa>>Visión está configurado como Inactivo, Día o Noche. Por la situación que describes parece que la visión está asignada como "noche" porque en ese caso el jugador pierde de vista su ficha bajo la niebla blanda, a menos que haya una fuente de luz cercana.

Para evitar esa situación, lo mejor es, en las propiedades de campaña asignar a la visión "Normal" que esla que tienen las fichas por defecto, el valor "Normal: circle r1", de modo que siempre vean al menos su ficha bajo la niebla blanda.

Por otro lado, ¿de dónde es tu grupo?

Hola, estamos utilizando la última versión como puse en el plimer post, por lo cual eso significa que tenemos la 1.3b77 del 8 de diciembre. El problema creo que puede residir en que como siempre probabamos las cosas como master pensabamos que se podía colocar una niebla negra completamente a través de la cual no se pudiese ver, de tal modo no sabrías por donde siguen los caminos, pero por lo que he seguido probando y viendo, la utilidad de la niebla de guerra es tapar las partes dondo no hay mapa y que simplemente las otras partes del mapa de vean con una capa negra a 50% de opacidad digamos (más oscuras que las que tenemos iluminadas) de tal manera que anuque sepas la forma de la madmorra no sepas que hay en cada sitio.

PD: somos de españa, canarias

have you tried ctrl+i or ctrl+p (reveal fog). Its correct hat you can't move into fog as a player (as you don't know what is there). And you won't reveal anything as GM as you're usually moving npc's around. Note that to reveal the fog the token must be set to PC (not NPC).
The rest is as patoace said, check vision settings of the token and it indeed helps to set 'night vision' of a token, not to 1 but to 0,5 in the settings:

Code: Select all

Normal: circle r0,5 

This will exactly reveal a token in a cell without revealing the surrounding cells. Obviously you can also equip a token with a light source (right mouse click on token)
Hope this helps

This is, as far as I can tell, intentional. You can not move a Token into fog. You can move a token next to the fog and either have the GM manually reveal it or if your Auto Expose is on then it will automatically expose the fog. Then you can move into the exposed fog area, and so on.

I believe that this is actually intentional because it can be used to prevent characters from walking through walls.

For example, you create a building, place fog on it and set up VBL on the walls. The characters can walk around the building revealing the fog but because of the VBL the fog inside the buildign will not be exposed even if the charcter stands right beside the wall. This also means that the character can not move through the wall into the building.

Only if the GM removes the VBL (on the door for example) will the fog expose inside the building allowing the character to move in.

the auto exposure is on, and when we tried to move the token as a player into the fog, we just could move it to the nearest square, and then the fog has not reveled.

that's possibly rigth

we are not using the VBL here, I know this is an exaple, i told that just to clarify my case.

Only if the GM removes the VBL (on the door for example) will the fog expose inside the building allowing the character to move in.

the same as I wrote up

Thx for your help

Sort of. You may move your token(as a player) into any area which has been revealed (ie, is in soft FOW). This means you could in theory "jump" over an area of VBL. The VBL has nothing to do with the way the move works outside of how it interacts with FOW.

Is the token Snap To Grid turned on? Apparently you need to have the Token Snap To Grid turned on in the preferences in order to Auto Expose. Also check that Auto Expose is turned on when you start the server.

If this is all done correctly then the FOG should disppear (get exposed) when you are adjacent to it and thus allow you to move further. The CTRL+I is a manual expose which can be used if Auto Expose is not on.

It is also sometimes needed in cases where the GM makes changes to the FOG/VBL. For example, if the GM removes some VBL to simulate the characters opening a door, the GM needs to select all characters and use CTRL+I to have their view updated.
