Well, my thought was since the "Order" window/map already has the "overlay" functionality of sorts it might not be difficult to add the another overlay of the short/long/melee as well. Then people could just put any old image behind it.
I'm sure it's possible. It might just be better to have a "overlay" option on any image in maps though instead.---

Not sure overlay you're referring to. All the standard PS sheet Marching/Formation image is a basic imagecontrol with a 50 pixel grid:
Code:<imagecontrol name="image"> <anchored position="insidetopright" offset="10,30"> <left offset="270" /> <bottom offset="-30" /> </anchored> <frame name="groupbox" offset="10,10,10,10" /> <indicators availability="image_sent" locked="image_locked" loading="image_loading" zoom="image_zoom" shortcuts="image_shortcuts" /> <default snap="on" drawingsize="500,500" gridsize="50" /> <script> function onMaskingStateChanged(tool) window.drawtools.onValueChanged(); end function onDrawStateChanged(tool) window.drawtools.onValueChanged(); end </script> </imagecontrol>
Were you referring to the grid as the overlay?Private Messages: My inbox is forever filling up with PMs. Please don't send me PMs unless they are actually private/personal messages.

The grid is built into the imagecontrol, it's not an overlay as such.
I think the most that would be possible would be baking something into the normal image window frame (not the party sheet). Then you could have any image you want, including those from modules, and switch between different frames. The only concern I'd have would be if the frame can be put over the base image, and if the graphics content of this (i.e. the non alpha transparency) would interfere with the normal operation of the image - token selection, drawing, masking, etc.. There's also be problems with scaling to different sized images, and zooming too.
I just don't know if it's possible in the current architecture.Private Messages: My inbox is forever filling up with PMs. Please don't send me PMs unless they are actually private/personal messages.

Okay better, not perfect. I don't use photo shop I did this between GIMP and Corel's Essential Artist. I know you can run theatrical combat right on the tracker, and I play with GM's who do that very well. I tried it and for newer players it makes it a bit confusing, a simple image like this I think resolves that. I could only resize the image so far (you have no idea how hard it was to find a decent image of a printing press in the 1930's) but I think this gives more than a good enough visual to set mood and space.

I had pretty luck with an image search by adding "Heidelberg" to the search terms.

Sure because everyone knows the players are going to go exactly where the GM planned for them to go right?

Wow that helped, I am always impressed how often a single word can change a search result.

Would it be an abuse of moderator access to edit both my original post and your reply to fix my response to "I had pretty good luck..."? I spent a few years working in print shops back in the day. Heidelberg was the first press manufacturer I could think of that was making presses in the 30s.
