itch.io

Hi. Unfortunately, there is no such tool.

Hi. We tried to integrate particles, but it didn't work. The engine on which the program is written does not support such functionality. And there are no good third-party libraries.

You can simply move the folder with the program on another PC or just the folder Saves. But all paths to the files are absolute, it should be kept in mind for maps.

Hi. You can change your own monster's avatar on the general bestiary tab. Find your creature in the general list and it should have an icon with a Plus instead of an avatar.

Greetings. This feature was added specifically so as not to clutter up the dungeon master screen. If I understand correctly, you don't feel comfortable switching to black and white mode and making attributes visible there. I don't have an answer yet, as this is a clash of the two camps.

Hi, can you give me an example? What path should be and what is the result?

Hi! Glad you like the program!

I understand your problem and have made changes. You can update the program.
I hope everything will be fine for you.

Oh, I see. These creatures were added to the base by a Russian user. The English version of these creatures is not in the database yet. I will make a patch that removes these creatures. 

Sorry about the confusion.

Hi. I left the default language in Russian by mistake. 

If you did not have time to work in the program and create content, you can delete all folders in the root of the program, except the Localization. This action will just recreate the folders inside the program. 
It will be a little easier if you give a concrete example of what remains untranslated.

Go to the unzipped folder and delete ALL folders in it. Also delete Options.xml. Move the program to drive D or C. You can not keep programs on the desktop, you may have it protected and not allow the program to work properly. After that, try to run it.

If this is too much for you, download the program archive from the site again and unpack it at once, then run it. You don't need to unpack it on your desktop - you shouldn't do this for any tasks. 
If you still have the problem, there is a better solution: download the client https://itch.io/app . Log into it and DM Helpmate will be installed correctly. This is a program like Steam, if you know what it is. With it you will get updates automatically.

If that doesn't help either then I have another option but it's more detailed but try these options first.

I can't help you if you don't answer at least one of the questions I ask. Did you at least unzip the program into a folder?

This is a error. If the program starts loading, it means that all the libraries are in their places, but it won't load further because of an error. Try deleting the file Bestiary\Notes.hm

Hi, where is the program located? Are there 0 kb files? Is it possible to send an error report from the event viewer? (eventvwr.msc)

Greetings. I completely do not understand what you have done with the program. The program is automatically updated from the itch.io client. You do not need to download a completely new program again. You don't need to copy the safes anywhere. What I have described is NOT an INSTRUCTION to update. This is the instruction if you completely break the program.

Where did you keep the map files? 

Sorry I haven't answered for 2 days, I didn't have access to the Internet.

Greetings. If you're nervous, do the following: where the program has backup archives, you can move them to a safe place. And in any case after the update the files will not be damaged, and if it happens that the program will not start, I will help you to solve any problem.

Visually this is not possible to achieve, but you can throw your status on the monster or character in the initiative.

Hi. Sorry, did not see the question. It is impossible to see the NPC on the map. To change the size of the props, right-click on it and click on the pencil icon.

P.S. I will remove the recurring question to avoid flooding.

Episodes imply storage Type of monster. Therefore it is impossible to give names there, and there are no names on the map at all (only colors). You can distinguish between monsters only after they have been added to the battle by name and color. Can you tell me why you should give names or numbering of monsters before they were added to the battle?

In theory I can add custom names to episodes, but I need to understand how important it is.

Hi. You can't add classes, but I will add Artificer soon.

Hi. No way to use .particule files. For such questions it is better to use a special topic.

The French version will only be possible if someone translates the localizing interface file. The database is not localized, this is most likely impossible.

Soon there will be tutorial on props and updating in this area.But for now, I can show you this.

Most likely, you have fog on. Browse this topic: https://mastademic.itch.io/dm-helpmate/devlog/184892/tutorial-how-to-add-a-map.

The work with fog is shown at the very end.

Hi. Briefly, the Map Settings tab has a grid size slider and an additional element for adjustment that appears when the grid is on.
More detailed instructions can be found here: https://mastademic.itch.io/dm-helpmate/devlog/184892/tutorial-how-to-add-a-map.

Yes, I received the e-mail. This allowed to fix the problem! Also sent an email with the corrected file.

The program may behave differently on different systems. Even a Windows parameter such as decimal separator can affect the operation of the application. I am sad that you are faced with such problems. Together we will fix this error.

Update should not be done on the site, but on the client. You need to download the application itch.io and it will update the DM Helpmate. If after that the program will break, then send me an archive with the program to this e-mail DnDHelpmate.Eng@gmail.com.

I'm waiting for the result, whether you have managed to update. For me, this site is also new, so I deal with it together with you.

The program is updated from the itch.io client. It is important that the DM Helpmate is turned off. 
To start with, open the download section and if there are updates for the program, they will appear in this section.

You can write to this e-mail: dndhelpmate.eng@gmail.com

The latest version is 1.2.9.1. If you have grid transparency management in the program, this is the latest version. Perhaps in some of the releases I have not updated the version number.

Hi ALeamaro! If I understood the question of equipment correctly, this video shows how it can be done. About the second question. No import from Spotify was planned.

Thank you for your support.

If he does not want to be updated, you can force him to.

The itch.io client must update the application himself when you enter it. Checked just now and followed the below algorithm: 

1. entered into the library.
2. chose there DM Helpmate and waited.
3. The client started updating the application automatically

Opacity has been added, I hope it will be useful.

Greetings! At the moment, you can only change the grid size or color, but I will think about changing the thickness. This should not be difficult to implement.

You can't replace the image, you can do it only with your own creatures. The size of a token depends on the size of the creature (a normal token is 1 cell, a large 4 cells, etc.). If you want to change the size of all tokens, this is done in combination with the grid.

Okay. I will try to make a silent video, it will be faster and perhaps even more understandable for users.

Yes, on the project page in the Development Diary section.

Tutorials will soon be, today is likely to be on the use of maps. If no one will be embarrassed by a quirky translation of the text of instruction, they will come out more often. And then they will be corrected more competently.

This program is aimed at those who play at the table offline.You can also stream the players' window.

After selecting a map, you can display the window using this button.
