Quote from: brettmb;691693Terrain is planned, but that's going to be tricky - I need to find a good way of doing it, so that it tiles well. Thanks!

WOTC Dungeons Tiles seem to do a good job of this. Perhaps look at them and see how they deal with the issue.

I have. A slightly different style that just may work for the terrain.

I worked on the live battlemap feature today. Wow, did I do good The person hosting the maps can switch them on the fly, so it's dependent on the main user rather than individual maps. I also added a password capability and live notes along with the chat system.

Oh yeah, you can get early access for free (still two slots):

So now that the public maps, dynamic battlemaps, and live chat are working, I'll be adding a dice roller to the system - shouldn't be too hard, as I'll utilize some of the code from PrecisRoller 2.

The screenshot here is the battlemap host screen showing one of the community maps. The left side shows your available Disposable Heroes Paper Minis sets that can be used as counters on the map. The middle area is the map itself, with the chat area below it. Inside the chat area is the latest die roll. The right side lets you make the map live so that the battlemap client can access it, letting other players see it along with the the counters and dice. Below that is a notes area, the dice rolling setup, clients connected, and the list of available maps that can be loaded in the middle map area on the fly. Most of these sections can be toggled opened and closed. The dice images can be toggled on and off.

So, the system can handle basic die rolls: xDx ±x.

Quote from: brettmb;690864I've been working on Disposable Tilescapes, which lets you create your own 1"-tiled dungeon maps (and eventually other stuff like starship floor maps). The online interface is very simple to use. You click on a tile and can choose a floor, wall, and prop (any combination of the three). This will also be low-priced, at less than $10 per set, with any set giving you access to the system. You can save and maps and download to PDF. An eventual feature will also be the ability to host your map online, move around counters (from your available Disposable Heroes Paper Minis sets); this will work in a live fashion, permitting others to see your map with counters.

There will basically be 3 types of sets:
1. Customizable Tiles: these are the floor and wall tiles that you can use to build your own map.
2. Build Your Own Tiles: upload your own floor and wall tiles for use with the customizable tiles.
3. Props: general items that can be overlaid over floors for added effect (build your own props are likely at some point).
4. Statix Maps: a collection of ready-made maps in a single download.

See attachment for sample.

So, my question is, what features would you like to see in such in a product?

This seems interesting. Is this going to be hosted on a website or is it software?

Number two is of interest. Does that basically allow me to set the the shape and size of tiles (i.e. I need a 5x10 room)? Does it allow me to adjust materials like stone, wood, etc? If it can be used for online play, i definitely know some players who would be interested. I suppose that would be a big selling point for a lot of people, as online running of games is becoming more common.

This is web-hosted. Build your own tiles lets you upload your own artwork to fit in a standard tile, either a floor or a wall (upload your own props is also planned).

Disposable Tilescapes for Mac (native Mac app) is now available with the Retro Dungeons tile pack. Use Customizable Disposable Heroes as counters in Battlemap mode.
