Found an issue with the Desktop Map feature.
When using a map as the desktop it seems to ignore custom pointer settings and use the defaults instead. Switching back out of Desktop Map mode makes the custom pointers available again.

Where are you defining the custom pointers?
There are now two different image control templates; and they will both need to match.

I think they are being set in
<imagecontrol name="image">
I'll double check when I get home but I'm pretty sure that's right.
Make sure that you are redefining the "image_record_step" template instead of overriding directly in the "image" window class.

This is the file my ruleset uses to set up the custom pointers:
Code:<root>
<windowclass name="imagewindow" merge="join">
<sheetdata>
<imagecontrol name="image">
<default snap="off" drawingsize="500,500" snaphex="vertexandcenter" gridtype="hexrow" />
<pointertypes>
<arrow>
<icon>pointer</icon>
<label>Draw Arrow</label>
</arrow>
<circle>
<icon>pointer_circle</icon>
<label>Draw Circle</label>
</circle>
<cone>
<icon>pointer_cone</icon>
<label>Draw Cone</label>
</cone>
<custom name="TrianglePointer">
<icon>pointer_cone</icon>
<label>Draw Triangle</label>
</custom>
<custom name="HexPointer">
<icon>pointer_circle</icon>
<label>Draw Hex</label>
</custom>
</pointertypes>
<script>
function onBuildCustomPointer(nStartXCoord,nStartYCoord,nEndXCoord,nEndYCoord,sPointerType)
local aShapeCurves, aDistLabelPosition, bDrawArrow = CustomPointer.onBuildCustomPointer(nStartXCoord,nStartYCoord,nEndXCoord,nEndYCoord,sPointerType);
return aShapeCurves,aDistLabelPosition,bDrawArrow;
end
</script>
</imagecontrol>
</sheetdata>
</windowclass>
</root>
It looks like you’re actually adding a second image control over the top of the one provided by CoreRPG. Because your merge definition does not use the same control/template name within the imagewindow class definition, it actually creates a new control.
You should go back and just replace the template I mentioned, instead of overriding the imagewindow class at all.

So something like..
Code:<template name="image_record_step">
<imagecontrol name="image">
<indicators locked="image_locked" loading="image_loading" />
<default snap="off" drawingsize="500,500" snaphex="vertexandcenter" gridtype="hexrow" />
<pointertypes>
<arrow>
<icon>pointer</icon>
<label>Draw Arrow</label>
</arrow>
<circle>
<icon>pointer_circle</icon>
<label>Draw Circle</label>
</circle>
<cone>
<icon>pointer_cone</icon>
<label>Draw Cone</label>
</cone>
<custom name="TrianglePointer">
<icon>pointer_cone</icon>
<label>Draw Triangle</label>
</custom>
<custom name="HexPointer">
<icon>pointer_circle</icon>
<label>Draw Hex</label>
</custom>
</pointertypes>
<script file="campaign/scripts/image.lua" />
<script>
function onBuildCustomPointer(nStartXCoord,nStartYCoord,nEndXCoord,nEndYCoord,sPointerType)
local aShapeCurves, aDistLabelPosition, bDrawArrow = CustomPointer.onBuildCustomPointer(nStartXCoord,nStartYCoord,nEndXCoord,nEndYCoord,sPointerType);
return aShapeCurves,aDistLabelPosition,bDrawArrow;
end
</script>
</imagecontrol>
</template>
Yeah.. ok so that's not right.. broke all my custom pointers. :(
Apparently including the default image script was a bad idea. The pointers work without it.. but snap to vertexandcenter does not sadly.
Let me think a bit to think of the best way to do it. I think templates will be the answer; but I have a better idea of what you’re doing.

You resolved my issue.. but am I going to have trouble somewhere else without inheriting that image script?
The snap thing was working back before 3.2 I think.. but it hasn't worked in a long time... and I'm not sure it ever worked 'well'.
Now that I've had a chance to look at this while at my desk. Try this code:
Code:<template name="image_record_step2">
<imagecontrol name="image">
<indicators locked="image_locked" loading="image_loading" />
<script file="campaign/scripts/image.lua" />
</imagecontrol>
</template>
<template name="image_record_step">
<image_record_step2>
<default drawingsize="500,500" gridtype="hexrow" snaphex="vertexandcenter" snap="on" />
<pointertypes>
<arrow>
<icon>pointer</icon>
<label>Draw Arrow</label>
</arrow>
<circle>
<icon>pointer_circle</icon>
<label>Draw Circle</label>
</circle>
<cone>
<icon>pointer_cone</icon>
<label>Draw Cone</label>
</cone>
<custom name="TrianglePointer">
<icon>pointer_cone</icon>
<label>Draw Triangle</label>
</custom>
<custom name="HexPointer">
<icon>pointer_circle</icon>
<label>Draw Hex</label>
</custom>
</pointertypes>
<script>
function onBuildCustomPointer(nStartXCoord,nStartYCoord,nEndXCoord,nEndYCoord,sPointerType)
local aShapeCurves, aDistLabelPosition, bDrawArrow = CustomPointer.onBuildCustomPointer(nStartXCoord,nStartYCoord,nEndXCoord,nEndYCoord,sPointerType);
return aShapeCurves,aDistLabelPosition,bDrawArrow;
end
</script>
</image_record_step2>
</template>
Awesome. That seems to have solved all of my issues. The snap is working for vertexes and centers... the custom pointers work.. all good.
Thanks!
