A fork of McAJBen's DungeonBoard that I have modified to suit my tastes and needs as a DM

Changes Overview

Major changes

  • Stripped core functionality down to what was originally called the 'Paint' utility The Layer, Image, and Loading tools were removed as I had no use for them
  • Added video playback, enabled by VLCJ, for the display of animated maps (see Dynamic Dungeons)
  • Added ability to display 1 inch grid over either static of dynamic maps
  • Added ability to display, scale, and move arbitrary images over displayed map These 'tokens' are intended for use with images of monsters but can display any image Can be quickly scaled to 1 inch size to align with battle map
  • Added DM screen feature to show a mirror image of what is displayed on the 'player' screen Inteded to enable easy manipulation of the token images without having to mouse over to the larger monitor/TV the players use
  • Files are now selected via a file browser rather than being prelocated in folders;

Quality of Life Changes

  • Refactored code to suit my prefrences
  • Reworked UI with darker, flat theme
  • Images that are taller than they are wide are rotated to fit better in landscape
