Re: The Boards of Online Heroscape

I see you label the level 0 water, while awesomeunleashed labels the level 1 water.

Both approaches are perfectly understandable; I'm just noting the small difference.

True. I thought it more consistent to use level 1 as default, and indicate every departure from that, no exceptions. By exempting water and ice, AU's system requires....a bit more extrapolation, I think. :D May look better though.
 
Re: The Boards of Online Heroscape

I agree... both methods are understandable, yours is slightly more easily understood, and AU's method wins out slightly on aesthetics.
 
Re: The Boards of Online Heroscape

Typhon, I suggest you make your numbers smaller in the future. It makes the maps look better. Otherwise, :thumbsup:

Just making templates for some that we already had. Invasion has borderline image quality, but I think it's good enough. Tell me if you think there's anything I need to change.

On the 0/1 leveling: well, in VS, the level 0 water is on the same "level" as the level 1 land... :D Either way works fine.

Great call, AU, thanks for pointing it out. I've made the numbers smaller; and also shifted their color to shades of gray, rather than the stark black/white of before. Here's a preview of how the board looks now:

Re: The Boards of Online Heroscape

I liked the starker colors on the dungeon tiles better. My :2cents:

Not a huge difference either way, though.

Copied and added! Great additions. That gives us 3 more BoV maps, and another by Dignan.

My only suggestion might be to change the colors of the wound boxes so they match the particular SZ color of each map.

Two questions for ya:

(1) You should have editing permission for all four, but can you double-check? Google has been wonky for me.

(2) I see you sometimes alter the proportions of the board, to better fit the maps. The board for Invasion, for example. In general, what do you think of the default proportions (I think they're 4 x 3?) set by Google for new boards? Do you find they're pretty good for when the board is nestled inside Filthy's App, or do they more often end up with blank spaces on the sides? My experience has been the latter, which is why I've been putting the casualties/wounds boxes on the sides, so they spill over and make use of that blank space. (I know it's going to vary depending on the particular monitor, of course.)

Changed the wound box colors. :up:

This is exactly why I just fit it to the map. Because monitor dimensions and whether or not fullscreen is on factors in so much, I decided it's just easier this way. :shrug:

Players could always adjust it, if they wanted to.

Indeed indeed. Good to remind people of that.
 
Re: The Boards of Online Heroscape

Could I entice someone to make some Boards for Scenario play? Either the ones from the D&D Master Set, or any of the following ones from WotC?

I'll make you a deal; I'll make as many Scenario boards as you want, but you have to send me VS versions of them. :)
 
Re: The Boards of Online Heroscape

Heheh, I'll look into it...
 
Re: The Boards of Online Heroscape

Also, I'm looking for another match in an hour or so.

I sent the Virtualscape files for "The Shadow Caverns" to your gmail. At least, I hope it was your gmail.

I got them. :up: I'll probably have them done in the next couple of days.
