Hey there. I recently ran a game using Fantasy Grounds, and two problems reared their heads (besides the crashing).

1. Is there any possible way to change a player's name, either by the player or the GM? The name under their portrait?

2. Is there any possible way to restrict players from doodling on an image that was shared?

The first one I know a solution for - if you edit the db.xml under the campaign directory, you'll find something like this:


<node name="charsheet">
<node name="Henry">


Edit the name of the character node (in this case "Henry") and there you go.

All of these issues are being solved. The ability to disable doodling on shared images will be in patch 1.05, but until then the only way to keep images intact is to discourage the players by frequently erasing the drawing layer (from layers sub menu) :shock: - the major drawback is that it also removes the meanigful markings; or asking them to stop doodling ...

1 Point of Damage per doodle mark slows them down alot too!!!

Cool! Any ideas when 1.05 will be available?
