Is it possible to...
I was wondering if:
1. Can I get the token box to stay organized. I have tried to organize it. but when I open the game again, it's all a mess again.
2. Can you get the chat box to always show the die roll totals. I think it should always show the roll/modifiers/totals to the DM to speed up time. I shouldn't have to always right click, then total.
3. Can I get the die rolls to make a die roll noise? Just for atmosphere.
4. Is it possible to open a xml in excel/word and have it make sense to me, make my changes, then convert back to xml. (I want to make my own charatcer sheet and looking at the xml format makes my head hurt).
5. Can I make the chat window larger?
6. I dont have a response to my portraits question in the other forum. please help. https://forums.fantasygrounds.com/viewtopic.php?t=207
I have full version, 1.03. Sorry if these are dicussed elsewhere. I searched for some, but did not find find the answers.
Thanks,
Delekahn
p.s. I just ordered a scanner and I want to learn how to use this program so I can add the Wheel of Time mod/rules. My friends and I started it a couple years ago and then lost the time to play. Fantasy Grounds would be a great way to get it going again. (I hope)

Sound
I really would like to see some sound support. Sounds that could be attached to NPCs or to the map (environment sounds).
For example PCs enter a dock district and then they could listen the sound of water laps ships creak and seagulls etc.. . Or some system that you could drag and drop sounds into an area.

While it might be nice the size of sound clips is much greater than images general and so could cause problems to folks not on boardband. I certainly wouldn't have it as a priority.

Sounds - Just Say No
One of the things that appeals to me so much in FG is how streamlined it is. Adding sounds to the game *sounds* like a nice idea, but as other have pointed out - this software emulates a group of people sitting around a common table playind the RPG of their choice.
I don't know about you, but I've never had a GM that had a complete sound system setup to play effects and things. I frankly thing that adding sound would cheapen the software, making it bulky, and frankly, hindering play.
I can just see it now - the GM sets the scene, drags his descriptive text about how you see a handful of moving shapes silouhetted against the night sky. You roll a listen check. . . and then wait 30 seconds for the .WAV file to transfer so you can hear the wolf howl.
No thanks.

Sound
Well i dont see it as a priority to. Personally i would like see it implemented in the program as a choice, if you use it or not is just with you.
And of course you need to have the sounds on your pc before playing.
I could talk more about this, but seems people are against this idea so i shut up.

Sounds
I just use Skype (www.skype.com) for voice chat and if I need a sound I queue it up on my pc and drag it to the Windows Media player. Works like a charm.

Personally I do find all of the radials a bit slow to navigate and utilize at times. I like them but feel they are a bit overused. It would be nice to give DM's the option of using radials or right click drop down cascade lists... yes they dont exist in RL at the table but neither do radials.
To me it would seem important to balance simulation against utilization.

Adding the dice rolls
One thing you can do is left click on the dice roll and drag it off to the side. When you do this it totals the dice roll and and you can see it. If you drop the number into the chat window it shows up just like the dice rolls do... like this:
Guard Captain: Longsword [1d20+3]
Guard Captain: Longsword [17]
and
Guard Captain: Fireball [6d6]
Guard Captain: Fireball [17]
Works pretty well. If you don't want the total to show up in the chat window you can drop it on the table top.
