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:

1. Maps Sample, this is where all the usable image for maps are
2. Apply, after selecting an image, pressing this button will apply the new image as a new Overview Map
3. 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

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.

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
