Extension: Height label

Good thing is that any theme/extension can change the font of the Height extension just by inserting the quoted lines. This makes it easier to customize Height. I use Roboto, because I use that for the other windows, as I find it easier to read than FG's default font.

For the Height Extension I agree that Roboto is a bit too thin, so I might change it later on. But the big blobby letters used by default don't look so good and read so easily either. It doesn't matter so much for Height anyway, because it's not something you need to read a lot.

I'm not seeing a download link. Am I missing something?

You probably have a white vBulletin forum look right now? Then scroll to the bottom and change the display style of the forum :) (there should be some button) Afterwards you should be able to see those links :)

Ah, thank you, my friend. Stupid Google search took me straight to vBulletin.

Cool that it works now :)

In case it hasn't been posted here is the distance formula:
Square Root ((x1 - x2)^2 + (y1 - y2)^2 + (z1 - z2)^2)

Thank you :)
Yeah, I know this, it is just that I do not want to adjust the distance measure yet; I rather prefer to have a similar distance measurement for the height as one has for the "x-y"-plane :) (Most rulesets do not use the Euclidean measure in the x-y-plane, rather a multiplicator of 1.5 or 1 for the diagonals for example, and not square root of 2; I want to align ruleset-specific behaviour to the height measurement :) )
But aligning that is not difficult, the main reason why I did not implement that yet is simply that I had no time yet :D

I'm thinking that any distance that encompasses height, should use the same general rules as the distance rules for the game system in the X-Y plane.

So, for D&D and clone systems that use 1.5 for distance, you would treat 3 dimensional diagonals as 1.5 for simplicity.

Yes, that is what I want to try :)

Though for my personal game I may try to use the raw/Euclidean measure at some point, in order to see how it is to play without grid (so, invisible grid and no grid-snap) while using that measure :D

It could be put in the center or center left/right. There should be nothing interfering there!?
