    Can I please have the old fog of war back? This new version is 10 times the amount of work that I would have to do before.

    To get something akin to the old FoW, when you create a map, choose to flood the map with FoW. I'm not at home right now, and on my brother's computer, so I can't remember exactly where the button is on the create map screen, but I think it's in the lower right hand corner.

    sorry, that's still not as good as what was here before. You can flood the map but you have to "show" each individual square...1 by 1. Very counter intuitive.

    I will be downgrading to the version that still had the good fog of war, until they can bring this back.

    Actually, if you have the fog of war tool open, you can just click a square and drag the cursor, and it will show/hide every square you go over.

    Chris - - how do I do that? I can't see any way to just click and drag - -I can either have knots or paint shapes.

    Wow....talk about (my opinion only) totally destroying the value of a product for my game....Not sure how active this community is, but I've got a game Saturday (haven't played in a LONG while, and fired up the newest d20Pro to find this) so I need to go shopping for something that will let me do FoW....I haven't update my copy of Fantasy Grounds in forever, but maybe they've got something now.
