Multiple Maps - Characters, line of sight and memory

[rmilmine]

The characters retain knowledge of what they have seen of a map from one session to another until their icon has left the map and been placed on a new one.
As soon as this happens fantasy grounds has lost all knowledge of what the individual characters had of that map.

Would it be possible for this to not be lost? If the reason this is lost is because of HD space, can we have an option that would allow for it to be saved or not?
I would really like to be able to move characters around from one floor of a place to another and back again without the line of sight data being lost.
Having the image display based on their line of sight data, the way it shows when not in direct line of sight would be great.
Some of the maps I have a large, and multiple floors are being done as separate images instead of all on the same image.

I'm using the Pathfinder/3.5 rule set, but I'm sure this is across all rulesets and not ruleset specific.

Also, if I'm doing something wrong and it's not supposed to be working this way, please, help me figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks,
Robert

Yes it's possible for this to technically be accomplished, but it has draw backs. I think there is already a suggestion on the Feature Request list you can vote for. Fantasy Grounds - Feature Requests
There is, or was, a community extension that allowed this as well.

In the meantime, just put the different levels on the same image. You can do this with maps that are done separately, you just have to export the LOS so when you combine it includes the LOS. You can draw a wall around the outside of each level if needed to keep LOS from spilling from one to the other.

Hi,

I use this Fog of War extension which I've always been very pleased with, although we've not needed ist functionality at the table for some time:

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Yeah, I've done multiple floor on one image before, with lines drawn between the maps to disrupt line of sight.
This isn't feasible with my current project as it's 20 floors in a mad wizards tower and they are all large.
The extension that does this is for purchase, not sure how much 1670 gold coins cost, but this is really something that should be in the default product.
I've voted for the feature request.
Hopefully it will be put on the burner.

Thanks,
Robert
