Default Campaign Properties
I may have missed it somewhere but is there a way to set the default campaign properties? I don't mean setting the campaign properties for a given campaign, I mean setting the default properties so you don't have to set them all over again every time you create a new campaign file. I searched and searched but couldn't find a way to do this.

Not yet but in the works. In the mean time, export the properties you like and either import them into your new campaign OR make a blank campaign with the properties you want and use it as a template for making new campaigns.SDShannonS wrote:I may have missed it somewhere but is there a way to set the default campaign properties?

Re: Default Campaign Properties
No, the Basic properties you see when you first load Maptool are build directly via the java code. When you start a new campaign, the code just rebuilds it exactly as you see it. Trevor has noted something about making this externalized to a file instead of hard coding it in the java code, but thats probably low on the list with 1.3 winding down.SDShannonS wrote:I may have missed it somewhere but is there a way to set the default campaign properties?

I save all my Campaign Files to DropBox. Not only can I access a campaign file from pretty much any OS that will run Maptool(Win,OSX, linux), but each file is versioned, so if something goes crazy wild, I can always roll back to a previous version of the same file.
