[GridMaps]

[zachol]

It's really more like three or four.

e: By the way I'm joking, it's absolutely not a big deal and you guys are great.
It does bug me a little, though. Why's it doing that?

[Gralhruk]

You should really read the huge wall of text in post 3 where I explain that seems to happen in some browsers. I'll try and fix it.

[zachol]

Ha ha whoops.
Probably just my shitty computer. I bet it looks fine at home.

[Rezenic]

How would a player be able to go in and move their own piece? Wouldn't you as the poster be the editor of the map?

[Mercutio]

You quote the original post and then change the grid location of your token. Try this: I'll post a map and one token. You quote the post, delete the [quote] tags, change the grid location of the token, and then hit submit.

You quote the post with the map. Example quote (with the button) this post and you'll see the code. Change the token location for Rz and then post it.

Edit: Fun fact. It seems my work has dropbox.com blocked, so I have no idea what Mercutio is posting. Is it good stuff? I bet it's awesome.

[zachol]

It's a big blue map.

Looks like this:

[Mercutio]

Yeah, I moved to the TSR-style blue maps after I lost all the more detailed "better" maps I'd made when my old laptop bit the dust.

[itches]

That's not exciting at all.

[zachol]

In fact, most of them are even more blank. That one has a pattern about how it's painted like clouds or something.

I mean I'm entirely fine with it especially because it's easier on Mercutio but I sort of wish, like, our tokens fit in with that style, instead of being these little images.
Wait why am I posting about this here.

Hm, you can have the "color" tag in a token. What if you could also put in "type=circle" and it would turn it into a circle of that color with a black border, instead of filling the square?

[itches]

That would require another 8 months of coding.

[Gralhruk]

I actually believe it's possible with CSS to do circles. I'll think on it.

In the meantime, what would be great is if people are seeing the any issues (ie. things not in the right place) to post them here.

I'd like the following information:
1) Description of the problem
2) The browser and exact version of that browser (generally to be found in the "About" window).
3) The code for the Gridmap that you are using (the [noparse] tag is your friend here)
4) If you can, a screenshot would be nice too.

I would really like to get the offset issue cleared up as it annoys me greatly.

[Mercutio]

1) Problem: Grid is about 2 pixels lower than background image. (And it does appear that the grid is off rather than the tokens and background image) - To be clear, it's not a huge problem at all, and doesn't really bother me.

2) Browser: Google Chrome 24.0.1312.56 m

3) Code:
[gridmap squares=38x14 grid=25 color=RoyalBlue]
[token=background][img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/883600/XCrawl/First%20Floor/Room10.jpg[/img][/token]
[token=ak8 text=Razor_Charlie][img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/883600/XCrawl/Razor_Charlie.png[/img][/token]
[/gridmap]

Sweet! This is easy!

[Gralhruk]

Thanks Merc!

[Linklegacy77]

I'm running the latest version of firefox and I'm getting the same issue Merc is getting, the grid looks like it's being shifted down a few pixels while the tokens and map have the correct relations.

[Gralhruk]

I see what's going on now, I just need to figure out a way to fix it. The table is being sized differently than what I'm expecting - it ends up being a few pixels taller and one wider than I'm calculating. I've been using Firefox v14.01 and it looks fine in there, but if I run it under v18.01 or Chrome the table size changes.

[Gralhruk]

Okay, so I made a change - can you folks let me know if it made any difference or not?

[Linklegacy77]

I see no difference.

EDIT - nope, no difference.
EDIT 2 5:32 PM EST - now it's lined up properly

[Linklegacy77]

Whelp, it's now lined up properly all of a sudden.

Looks good.

[BigRedRod]

First it was games on the internet. Then magical internet dice and now pictures. I am concerned about the less pure admin staff making deals with demons and/or devils.

Seriously though gral and itches have done some excellent work here

[zachol]

I am super jazzed. This is great. Thanks you guys!
