1.4
2010-09-24
Battle Map 1.4 is out! All of these new features, artwork, and bugfixes come directly from requests from the Battle Map community - thanks so much for your great ideas and support!
★ Fixed a bug where Battle Map only opened exported maps with the "pubattlemap" extension rather than the correct "battlemap" extension.
★ Fixed a crash bug involving undoing scales and rotations.
★ Made it easier to select stacked objects. When you have a stack of objects, you can now single tap on the stack to cycle through the objects in z-order.
★ When loading different maps with the external display hooked in, Battle Map will no longer show an image of the last visible scene on the external display and will instead prompt you to switch to PC mode when you're ready to display the next map.
★ Double tapping on an object locked in PC mode while in PC mode will no longer bring up object properties.
★ Double tapping on a door object while in GM mode will bring up the object properties, rather than opening the door.
★ Doors now default to PC mode locked, but you can still double tap on them to open them in PC mode.
★ While using tap to move, you can now move into an empty square if you are already in an empty square. This allows you to use tap to move on maps with background images but without tiles.
★ Added a new object property to toggle whether or not a hidden object is automatically revealed when a character enters its space (default ON). By turning this off, you can let the GM toggle when a hidden item becomes visible (such as after a search roll), or in other cases where you do not want a token visible in PC mode (set it to hidden and turn auto-reveal off).
★ Fixed a bug where sometimes the map images would be garbled in the Open Map view after saving a map.
★ When objects are locked, you can now select objects that are underneath those locked objects. This can be useful when having a locked fog layer above other objects, for example.
★ Removed wall object from Battle Map due to numerous problems with its behavior and usage. This may be revisited in the future, but for now when making walls you should use the wall background tile (the last tile in the background tiles list). This will work properly for both visual and LOS behavior.
★ Added a new option to allow you to increase/decrease the size of name labels on objects. This can be useful to make labels more readable when zoomed out.
★ Added new tokens: dwarf merchant, human peasant, pig, sheep
★ Added new objects: bag of loot, key, weapon display, pillar, ship front/back, stepping stone
1.3
2010-08-28
Another update with more features, art, and bugfixes requested by the Battle Map community. Thanks again for your support!
* Added a new menu option "Resize Background Image" that selects the background image so you can scale it by pinching. This can be useful if you are trying to match up a background image to the grid sizes in Battle Map, etc.
* There is a new map setting for "Map Pan/Zoom Locked", which you can enable to avoid accidental map movement.
* The settings menu now opens to the last scroll position to make it easier to toggle/untoggle an item.
* You can now undo rotating and resizing of objects.
* Fixed a bug where placing an object with snap to grid on would not snap the object to the grid until you first moved the object.
* Fixed a bug where sometimes a background image from a previously displayed map would appear.
* Fixed a bug with LOS behavior that would have affected LOS calculations in non-dark maps and with light sources.
* RPG Calc is now a much larger size on the iPad, which makes it now easier to read and use.
* While an object is selected, you can now pan the map with one or two fingers by dragging on the map, outside the bounds of the object.
* Fixed a bug where if you deleted a scaled/rotated object and then tapped undo, the object reappeared but without scaling/rotation.
* Added new background tile: cobblestone.
* Added new objects: demon, portcullis, wall object, circle, arrow, x.

1.1
2010-08-17
Quick update with some important bugfixes & tweaks requested by our awesome Battle Map community. Thanks so much for your support!
* Added a new option to let you reset the "viewed" status for a map. This is useful if you want to test out a map as a GM, but reset it for Players.
* Added a new object property to mark objects as blocking LOS.
* Snap to grid now also snaps the rotation of an object to 45 degree intervals.
* Added an "undo" button in PC mode to help undo move mistakes.
* Made the object picker bigger and added filtering of objects by category.
* Fixed a bug where a hidden object would still display the name of the object.
* Fixed a bug where when you would undo the deletion of dungeon tiles, sometimes the incorrect dungeon tile would reappear.
* Fixed a bug where the help screen would sometimes stop displaying.
* Fixed a bug with RPG calc and certain expressions with parenthesis.
* Fixed a bug where object properties window could be permanently reduced in size.
* Fixed a bug where tiles would sometimes be missing edges upon restart of Battle Map.
* Added 3 new objects: tree, rock, rock2.
* Added pre-rotated doors for convenience in making maps.
* Added a new map option allowing you to toggle whether or not to show explored tiles.
* Battle Map no longer rotates and scales in a single gesture - instead, it detects which you start doing and continues doing that. This is to make it easier to rotate objects without having to toggle the "Object Scaling" option.
* Renamed "Clear/Change Background" to "Clear/Change Background Image" for clarity.
* Sortened the settings menu so it's more apparant there are more settings than what is displayed.
* Added new sections to the help for importing images with transparency, using an external display, and more.
