[AD] V_MAP v1.7 now available From: zirto@indepth.com Date: Sun, 03 Jan 1999 00:00:00 +0000 Check out http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/6599/v_map.html or see the attached blurb. What's new with v1.7? Yow! New layout, new dice roller, new LOS/ ruler tool, sending dice results via e-mail, faster scrolling, more counters, a (hopefully) bug free save and load routine, and a bunch of internal optimizations. It's really enough to jump straight to v2.0, but I'm not done yet. Coming soon are multiple addresses for e-mail, the ability to attach your vmp file with your die rolls, the ability to customize your dice preferences, add on-the-fly die roll modifiers, and [small drum roll please] I'm working on a method to add tables as a specialized kind of die (wandering monsters, crits, fumbles, hit locations, grenade scatter, etc.) So, to start off the new year with something new, here's v1.7 of V_MAP while I continue to work towards version 2.0. Of course, _you_ are my customers. Any feedback (pro or con) is always welcome. Besides a new program, Melvin Williams has made a handful of historical gamesets, and there's a new Squad Leader 'kit' made by Joshua Hockaday. -- TAZ A blurb: V_MAP is a free graphical PBEM gaming aid for Windows 95/98/NT. It allows you to work with maps and counters for a variety of wargames and RPGs. If you can use a graphics editor or scan some maps and counters, a PBEM solution may exist for you. The vmp save file is a simple plain text document usable with nearly any e-mail system. V_MAP is also an excellent tool for hot seat gaming or solo play. And some CYA stuff: V_MAP is a free tool for enhancing existing games or for those game designers that want to create something new and share it others. In no way, shape, or form does is it an attempt to challenge any copyright or trademark. OGRE/GEV/Shockwave maps and counters are licensed with Steve Jackson Games.
