View Full Version : Drawing Mode Button for Players/OSR Style Games?

I know players can use the Right Mouse Button to turn on Draw Mode...

...but is there a button I can turn on for them similar to the GM Drawing Mode Button at top of Image window?

Also, is there a keyboard shortcut for Enabling/Disabling Drawing Mode?

Players are having issues accidentally Clearing the Drawing when trying to deactivate Drawing Mode. (Ctrl-Z helps)

We use OSE/Dolmenwood rules for player Mapping... so players drawing the maps is an important game function.

I think this is bugged. What should be happening is that players should not be able to draw on the map unless the DM has selected the unlock drawing layer option from right click > Drawing > Unlock Drawing Layer. Doing this unlocks the layer for the players and the drawing and erase buttons should appear for players at the top of the image window. It also should allow the drawing, erase, and clear drawing options on the right click menu.

At the moment with the drawing layer locked the drawing buttons appear but with the layer unlocked they disappear which is the exact opposite of what should happen.

PS: there's no shortcut keys that I'm aware of.

So to the devs:

1. With drawing layer locked by the DM the drawing buttons appear at the top of the image window for players but they don't work; nor do they have any right click drawing options (which is correct).
2. When the DM enables drawing layer the drawing and erase buttons disappear from the top of the players window but players can now right click to enable drawing, and once they have drawn something further options appear to clear, and erase the drawing (again the right click options are working correctly).
3. So it appears that the drawing and erase buttons are being switched on by locking the drawing layer and switched off by unlocking the drawing layer which is opposite to what should be happening.

Thanks for the pointer. As you noted, the player client display of the toolbar buttons was incorrectly flipped. I will get that fixed in the next client update.

It has been fixed and will be released with the next patch which is currently in TEST.
