v3.5.6

Lots of updates since last public release version of v3.4.8...

Code:

==v3.5.7==
===Fixes===
* Locale Startup Issue
  D20PRO now overrides the locale to prevent a startup issue initializing the look and feel. 


==v3.5.6==

===Features===
* Player Editable Character Sheets
  Players may now edit Creatures they control while logged into the game. When the Player applies
  these changes they are sent to the GM for line by line review. The GM may decide to keep all, 
  some, or none of the proposed changes. The Player can modify all aspects of the Creature except
  for choosing a different image (includes Item images). 

* SRD Add-on
	System Reference Documents are now available in-app! There are two Add-ons provided
	"out of the box" and more may be added by dropping them in the judge/addon/srd folder.
	GMs can opt in to using an SRD Add-on when creating a Campaign or managing an existing
	Campaign. Players can opt in under their advanced options when joining a game. To activate
	the SRD during the game, look for SRD in the Main Menu. 
	
* Syrinscape integration (URI Triggers)
	A URI Trigger allows you to prepare a link to trigger during the game. GMs may create 
	Campaign level Triggers in the new 5th tab of Game Tools. GMs and Players may store Triggers
	in the Map Markers. The Options the URI Trigger Mode may be set to
	- Remote Only: only trigger on remote instances
	- Local & Remote: the default
	- Local Only: only trigger the URI locally 
	
	URIs may also be used with standard web URLs. Triggering these will ask the app's operating
	system to open the link in the default web browser.
	
	To obtain a Syrinscape URI, run Syrinscape. Then press the + key and (+) buttons will appear.
	Click the + and the URI will be copied to the clipboard. Paste this URI into a Trigger and
	it will ask Syrinscape to play the appropriate mood or element.
	
	Please note: At this time, Syrinscape integration is Windows only. 
	To learn more about Syrinscape please visit their web site: http://syrinscape.com/	
	
* PDF Handouts
	Handouts that are created from PDF files are now displayed in-app.	
	
* Skill Penalty
  Each Creature may now be assigned a Skill Penalty in the Skills tab. Typically this is used
  to enforce an Armor Check penalty on STR, DEX, and CON Skill checks; however, the Penalty is 
  configurable to target any of the six core attributes.	
	
* Movement Indicator
  When moving a Creature now shows how many movements based off the speed. This makes it easier
  to track single moves, double moves, and how far a Creature can run in a round.
  
* Reconfigure Initiative
  Pressing the Combat Mode toggle no longer immediately leaves Combat Mode. Instead you have a
  choice to reconfigure initiative order by returning to the Set Initiative dialog.  

* Image Browser 
  The image browser now provide a number of scaling options to view the thumbnails. Previously
  thumbnails were locked at 128x128 pixels.
  
* Log File Access
  The D20PRO.log file is now accessible via the "Show Log File" button under the Advanced section
  of General Options.  
  
* Autosave Recovery
  Every five minutes the Judge's Campaign will be automatically saved in the background. 
  If the Campaign does not shut down gracefully, upon the next launch there will be an prompt to 
  attempt a recovery from the last autosaved file. To disable this feature, uncheck the
  "Enable Autosave" box in Options -> Judge. 

===Fixes===
* Temp HP
  When a Creature has an Effect granting temp HP, editing the Creature no longer adds the temp HP
  to the actual HP of the creature.
  
* Set Initiative
  Canceling the Set Initiative dialog after modifying a Creature's initiative order now properly
  ignores the changes.  

Player Editable Character Sheets
Let's go through the process to see what it looks like. Here is the original character sheet seen on the Player side.

We are going to edit the Alignment in this, so we change the Alignment field - notice you can do this for as many fields as you like, each change will appear on the GM and the GM can approve all or disapprove all with one button.

Once we press Apply, then we get a Confirmation window saying we are going to be submitting this updated Creature to the GM for review. Simply press Yes.

Once the Player submits the changes, the GM get's a request to update a character.

The GM says OK and gets the Merge Creature Wizard which will show all the changes... In this case we can see the Alignment changed as it is highlighted. Make sure to scroll down to see if the Player is submitting bad info Then press "Next".

Here we see in all glory the complete Character Sheet for the creature, The GM now approves this by pressing "Finish"

Here is the GM's view of the completed merged creature.


SRD Add-on
GM: Set your SRD source from Manage Campaigns (prior to opening campaign)


GM: View the SRD from the D20PRO main menu then select SRD.


Player: Set your SRD source from the Join a Game screen.
