A good question, the answer to which should be in the OP (and is about to be).

1. Make a text box with a number or a shape or whatever you want to use to mark the figure.

2. Move the whatever on top of the figure you want to mark.

3. Hold down Ctrl and select both the figure and the whatever.

4. Hit Arrange>Group.

The marker and figure should now move together when you drag them.

Hello everybody!

I've got a pretty nice idea to develop HeroScape Online Games (that I'll call now HOG ). I've created a Community in Google+, that will allow us doing a lot of thinks to improve HOG.
Here is the link:

Functionalities:
Links to useful topics to make a Online Game.
Various discussions Categories to speak with the Community:

• Fights Coming Soon
• Searching an opponent...
• Need some help? It's here.
• Events

More things can come, this Community is opened for everybody, and it belong to you to help me spreading HOG!



I hope helping a little with this.

Hmm. It's an interesting idea. I'll bite.

Something that I've noticed is that there are a lot of maps missing - obviously. But would it be possible to incorporate something like Virtual Scape into making maps for this, or is this unreasonable?

It is not unreasonable; we already use VS to create the map images. Adding elevation markers automatically, via VirtualScape, is another request that is loosely on the table; as it stands, we have to build these out manually via an image editor, and it is a time-consuming process.

What do you mean by "these" in your last sentence? Do you mean the maps currently available, or maps in Virtual Scape? If it's the latter, I could try to help out a bit, I've always enjoyed using the program just to construct maps to see what they look like. At least for some of the more common maps, and the other BoV ones.

Also, I PM'ed awesomeunleashed the list of missing official figures, so hopefully all of them can be added.

these <=> the elevation markers (for level 2 and more).

It's a hard work, because to make a map for an Online Game, you have to look for each space at level 2 and mark them on the image of the map, then look for each space at level 3 and mark them... etc... It's the boring part of the work. ^^

Ah, okay. Thanks, I was confused by that.

Does anyone else have the app say at times when no buttons are pressed: <insert user name here> has rolled zero skulls with blank number of dice. It's happened in some solo playtests and some online play as well. I've also had it just insert my username with just nothing behind it in lines before.

Never happened to me. I sometimes have to hit the dice button a few times before it rolls, though.

My guess is that you hit a keyboard shortcut, or pressed ENTER when the dice roller was the active window (meaning that one of the buttons was highlighted).

In some cases, it can take a couple of seconds for the roll to display (there are a lot of factors behind-the-scenes that could be causing this). If you press it once and the results do not display, it could be that you did not actually press the button. If you press again, and the results still do not display, try refreshing your browser.
