TokenTool 2.1
Overview
You can now add background images, extract images from PDF files, and save the portrait alongside the token using the same background image and/or colors! Several bug fixes and requested enhancements have also been added. Full ChangeLog shown below.
All versions, except for the .jar
file, include the required Java runtime. Installing other Java packages can cause issues.
Note for Mac Users:
To execute the application after dragging it to your desktop, you will need to Ctrl-click (or right-click) the .app and hold down Ctrl when you click Open (this is only needed the first time, and only because Apple won't recognize the application as being from an "identified developer").
Note for Windows Users:
Since RPTools is not a "known software publisher" by Microsoft, you will need to click through the prompts to execute this tool the first time.
WARNING: Kaspersky has recently started flagging the Windows executable as containing issues and will quarantine the file upon download. All attempts to contact Kaspersky and correct this have failed. You are welcome to join our Discord server and discuss this with other Windows users in the #tokentool
channel. (And if you have a way to contact them, please ask them to recheck it. Their web portal fails when we try to do that ourselves.)
Note for Users Downloading the JAR:
This version requires JavaFX which means you must have Java 9 or 10. The current version of Java 11 from Oracle or the OpenJDK will not work because the JavaFX library isn't included. If you have enough development background, you may be able to puzzle this out but we are only supporting Java 10 at this point.
ChangeLog
- Open and extract images straight from the module! Using the File -> Open PDF menu or dragging a PDF to the main window, you can open and view and PDF. The individual images are shown to the right and you can either drag them to the main window or left-click with the mouse to use the image as the Portrait or right-click with the mouse to use the image as the background.
- You can use the arrow keys as well as the number pad to nudge the images 1 pixel at a time! Be sure you have the layer selected that you want to move.
- In addition to background color, you can now supply a background image! When dragging images to the main window, drop zones will highlight and the "Layer" button in the upper right will tell you if you are setting the Portrait or Background image. Several options have been added to support the use of backgrounds as well.
- Several keyboard shortcuts as well as Accelerators have been added to the various menu items.
- The screen capture window now remembers its size! In fact, all the windows now remember their size and position!
- Didn't mean to capture that screen shot? Pressing ESC key will now cancel the action and close the window.
- A new menu option under Help -> Reset Settings will restore all settings to their defaults.
- A few new overlays were added, enjoy!
- If you unlock the aspect ratio (pressing the padlock on the Overlay Options), you can now set the token size to any integer.
- The overlay's original width x height is now displayed under the Overlays name on the Overlay Options panel
- Save options were expanded to allow you to save the Portrait used (with or without Background color/image) alongside the token. This is useful if you grabbed the image from a URL or PDF and forgot or couldn't save it. If you save with Background Options, it will save the portrait as a .jpg instead of a .png (which are typically 10x smaller in disk space) so you can use that high quality PNG from the PDF to create a token but use a smaller jpg for the Portrait (say, in MapTool) where transparency is probably not needed or wanted.
