Dan will find this rather interesting I think as fund raising mechanism I have never seen before. 

Maptool by http://rptools.net has set up a system for users to vote for features they would like to see.  Well not exactly vote, rather they bid and they bid with cold hard cash.  Trevor is calling it "The Wall of Features".  Since maptool is free and I use it a lot.  I will make a donation after I review the features and see what I think would help me most.

These features are expected to be implemented for the next major release of MapTool. You can help prioritize the order that they are implemented by engaging in a friendly Donation Challenge. As you donate RPCredits towards a feature it's priority rises. Features with higher priority are implemented sooner than the lower priority features.


I'm curious what features any of you all would bid on, or would be interested in even if you don't plan to donate.

The ones that interest me most are:
 - Configurable number of layers
 - Movement blocking layer (it does not say, but I think its topology except that it keeps the token from crossing the line as well.)
 - Macros set token properties   
 - Projector mode (I don't have one, but if I did this would be excellent!)

Stopping the token from crossing's a good idea....

Can you currently do a Macro to insert a certain group of tokens into a map?

I don't think it effects anything but the chat window currently

Rats; that's one feature that would really be helpful - to be able to put the entire party, at once, into a new map. But I'm not one to contribute so will have to do it the 1-by-1 way.

Mike,

What I have done to move a group of tokens from one map to another is:

1. Drop a loop around the tokens you want in the new map.
2. Press Control-C to Copy
3. Click on new map.
4. Press Control-V to insert.

The "secret" is to be sure to click somewhere on the new map first.

Scott.

Ahh, so, once again a brain better than mine finds a solution!  Thanks...I'll give it a try next time I'm home.

By the way, this feature works great, and saved me oodles of time.  Thanks again!
