Glad you both enjoy them!
I'm working on the 4E_JPG ruleset demo right now, should have it up by Sunday. I think the folks making FG2 know the documentation could use some work, but I'm happy to do this little part to help out. Because of FG2 I don't have to sit in the DDi forums complaining that DDi GameTable isn't ready yet!
(Instead I get to taunt them with screenshots.)
You bad man, picking on the afflicted :DQuote:

We've decided to do something about it. There's nothing DDi does that FG doesn't do minus the 3d, and considering it's top down I can do without the 3d.
I've gotten several PMs in the past two months thanking me for posting those screenshots, actually. One thing DDi has done is raised awareness of existing VTTs. :) Thanks, Wizards!
Hey Jason,
Just checked out your tutorial and noticed you do alot of click changes on your text format and style. Just thought I would mention that when creating modules you can hold Ctrl and push 1-6 for different text style. (i.e. chat, header, bullet, or link box), or you can hold Ctrl and push B, I, or U to format text. FYI

You MFer! I have to redo the tutorial now! :DQuote:

Actually I need to tweak the QuickPlay to show masking.
I had a chance to look at your turtorials, Xorn. Very nicely done.
I thought I would let you know there is another way to approved a player move you didn't mention. You can click the center button to approve moves instead of holding the Ctrl key down and clicking.
One other thing in the food for thought catagory - How often do you really need GM only maps? Players can't see pins so if you pin the Player map most of the time you don't really need a seperate GM map unless there is something pretty complicated. Naturally if you are using an existing adventure someone else made *that* is the map you always get. But if you are making you own adventure, you really don't often need a seperate map for GM's and Players.
The same thought on your overall map. In KotS I just used the overall maps for the keep because there isn't any reason to have seperate battle maps because you can zoom in on an area. There can be size contraints on the how big a map file you want, of course.
The most common reason I see for GM versions is because I can't figure out a way to hide secret doors without a player-only version.

Thanks for the Accept Move tip, I'll add it to my list of revisions to do.
I like a separate DM map myself, but by no means is it necessary. There's nothing at all wrong with doing one overall map and zooming around on it. I'll add a caption on that, too.
I just like using the battlemaps, myself.
Don't show them (can't accidently reveal them either that way. :) ). Put a pin on them and then use a Secret Door Token if the players find them.Quote:

It doesn't look like the guys at FUM migrated the tokens over to their new site - so the link is to their old forums: https://www.fouruglymonsters.com/com...read.php?t=129
If you were not a member on the old forums I don't know if you can get the download. It's called Kalmarjan's Doorway Tokens. I'm sure they would put it up on the new site if someone asked, though.
