One thing, though, that I would like to see is the ability to write a conditional statement into the macros.Avramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04148528694477310790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383687614967941820.post-83527337506009082232013-12-17T23:38:30.175-08:002013-12-17T23:38:30.175-08:00Yeah, I was impressed by our Roll20 trial last nig...Yeah, I was impressed by our Roll20 trial last night. I'd like to see shortcut buttons for common script element: it's always easier to edit a script than to write from scratch, but it was good.Billyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16717291964764757651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383687614967941820.post-459425798843704842013-12-17T17:35:46.123-08:002013-12-17T17:35:46.123-08:00This is why I'd make sure to have a basic unde...This is why I'd make sure to have a basic underlying code, and then use scripting to write the rest, with areas for scripting custom code. Roll20 does this to a very good extent, especially since it's dealing with multiple possible systems.<br /><br />That being said, many softwares offer no forms of customization (which is very annoying when I want to include PHB2 things into D&D 3.5).Avramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04148528694477310790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383687614967941820.post-13933261286539507652013-12-17T10:30:52.583-08:002013-12-17T10:30:52.583-08:00Cool.

Which is nice, because I tend to work mostly with semi-structured data, too.<br /><br />As a software designer, I often have to explain to the programmers, who are basically built from structured data, that not only do people often not HAVE totally structured data, they also often don't WANT it.<br /><br />So remember kids, mandatory fields make Jebus sad.Jeremy Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17072164588443858336noreply@blogger.com
