Map Options
There are a few options given to you as the Game Master with the Overview Map.
Right-clicking the Map will open this small menu:
Change Map
Selecting this option will open this window:
- Maps Sample, this is where all the usable image for maps are
- Apply, after selecting an image, pressing this button will apply the new image as a new Overview Map
- Browse, this will open a new window and you will be able to select any image you have on your computer to import it as a new image for your campaign
Supported format are PNG and JPG. IMPORTANT NOTE: Renaming a PNG for a JPG and vice-versa won't be supported.
Create New Pin
This option is pretty straight forward, you can either choose this to create a new pin exactly where your cursor is or drag/drop the pin icon at the top of the Overview Map.
Both options do the same thing.
Create New Text
This will create a new white/transparent text area on the map looking like this:
- Clicking and holding the black area at the top/left will allow you to move the text around.
- Clicking the black X will delete the text. IMPORTANT NOTE: If you press this button, your text will be gone forever.
- Clicking and holding the small white triangle at the bottom/right will allow you to expand/shrink the text box
Also, if you shrink the text box too much, a scroll bar will appear on the right
