View Full Version : Request Fat Pointer + Distance in the middle

Hello there awesome people:

Is there an extension that alters the look of the standard lmb+rmb pointer to something a bit more visible? Most of the times it takes a bit to see the actual lines.
Is there also a way to have the distance measured to appear in the middle of pointer instead of at the beginning? This way the distance won't dissapear underneath a token.

If there already exist such extensions could you point me in the right direction?

Thanks

I'm not aware of any such extension. Are you using coloured dice? That might make things clearer.

Yeah we are. So that sometimes helps with the visibility. But more often than not it is still to thin to actually see them. And the distance being displayed in the square from which you draw the line is still a bit annoying ;)

But thanks for the reply. If YOU are not aware of such an extensions than my search-fu hasn't failed me ;)

The closest you're going to get is making one yourself with the help of the Pointer Toolkit (here (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/index.php/Custom_Pointers_Coding_Toolkit)). You can position the distance indicator (somewhat) and do some other things as well - BUT it does require some programming.

Sadly I am not that proficient with programming.

Maybe someday, somebody that is proficient, feels the same way about this problem and makes something ;) Thanks for the reply.
There are some awesome extensions out there and FG gets better each update, so we will see.

Don't hesitate to add it to the Wish List (https://fg2app.idea.informer.com). I didn't see one that made this suggestion, but there are several pointer and related ideas already.
