Available by logging in to d20Pro Live, the Content Marketplace is your one stop shop
for third-party content.

enjoyable.

the default mouse mode to easily access them during a game. Markers also now
have additional size and shape options.
Handout Gump Best Fit
Image handouts now default to a best fit mode.
Customizable Game Log Colors
The Game Log now features more color highlighting. These colors may also be customized
by modifying the gamelogcolors.txt file found in ~/judge/pref and ~/player/pref. If
this file does not exist, run d20Pro as Judge or Player and it will be created. You

Image detection using extensions is now case insensitive.
* Prevent Creation of Map Marker Off Map
Attempting to create a Marker off the Map will cause it to appear
on the nearest edge instead.

Creature Status is now managed in its own window. After selecting one or more
Creatures, right-click or press the 'U' hotkey. Status icons are displayed in
a scroll pane to support unlimited numbers of them. Note that when a check is
grayed out that means some of the selected Creatures have that status while others
do not. These assignments will not change unless you toggle that check to either
fully on or off.
Creature Reveal Damage Improvements
Whether Creature damage to revealed creature damage is now set to one of the following modes:
- All: all Creatures will show their damage on both the Judge and all Players.
- Team + dead or dying: Includes any creature < 0 hit points along with Player owned
and Team creatures.

or Creatures on the same team as a Creature owned by that Player.
- Player owned: show damage only for Creature owned by the particular Player.
- Judge only: show damage only to the Judge.
- None: no Creatures will show damage to either the Judge or Players.
Attack Roll Override
The Judge may now click on an attack or critical confirm roll to override it. This
is useful for both Players who wish to roll "analog" at the table as well as Judges
who wish to fudge their rolls.
Stacked Creature Improvements
Now when a Creature is up in initiative it will display on top of other Creatures.
Also when a Player clicks on a Creature in the Roster, that Creature will always
stay on top.
Bulk Image Processor
This powerful new convenience utility provides operations handy for optimizing images
used with d20Pro. Currently four operations are available:
- Make Square: useful for Creature and Item tokens that aren't a perfect square
- Set Rotation: useful for overhead tokens that point down instead of up
- Offset: useful for Map images where the grid does not align with the origin
- Resize: useful for rescaling large Maps so use less memory and transmit to Players faster
These operations will then be applied to the chosen file or directory. For best results
use this tool on images *before* introducing them to d20Pro. Activate this tool by clicking "Process Images..." in Options->Judge.
Print Creature to HTML (Beta)
Creatures may now be printed to HTML that will open in your default Web browser.
The template used is chosen in the Options->Rules and may be configured aftermarket.
These template files may be found in ~/res/templates/print.

Attack Improvements
New tooltips on Declare Attacks and Resolve Damage for name, qualities, and target DR.
New attacks now default "+6/+1" to No.
Attack damages may now be set to have no qualities (e.g. slashing).
Automatic Broadcast Option
Found in Options->Judge, selecting "Broadcast game when a Player connects" will automatically
issue broadcast whenever a Player connects to the game.
Launching d20Pro Improvements
Now when d20Pro starts the following will be verified:
- Java Installed Check: if Java is not available on the path a message will display.
- Java Version Check: if an unsupported version of Java is used a message will display.
- File System Check: if d20Pro can't write to the file system a message will display.

to enable d20Pro games. Once a game is enabled as d20Pro, players logged
on to Infrno will have a "Launch d20Pro" link that will generate a XML file
that provides the necessary information for d20Pro to connect to that game.
Users on the Windows OS will find their most recently installed d20Pro will
recognize this file and open it directly from their browser. Enhanced file
type support is coming soon for other operating systems. In the meantime download the file instead of opening it, start d20Pro, click "Player" then
click the "Advanced" button and then click "Open Launch File..." and choose
the file you just downloaded. The file's information will be loaded so
then click the green check mark to join the game.

will be available as a status in the Alter->Status menu by right-clicking a
Creature.

Creatures may now be assigned facing. The Judge must enable facing by going
to Options->Judge and selecting one (or both) of "Show rotated Creature picture" or "Show rotated Creature arrow". Creatures may be rotated 45 degrees left
or right by highlighting them and pressing [ or ]. Creatures may also be
rotated via the context menu using the new "Rotate" sub-menu. Please note that
the Creature resize keys have moves to { and }.

favorite ruleset. Go to Options->General and to configure your options.

Judges may now hide % damage information from their players. Go to Options->Judge
and deselect "Show Players extend of Creature damage". Now Players will no longer

===Fixes===

==v2.2.0==
===Features===
Creature Importer Plugin System
Import Creature functionality now functions within a plugin environment.
Simply drop a new ImportCreaturePlugin file
in <install directory>/judge/plugins/ and it is immediately available
via the Import button in the Creature Library. Plugins previously included
are now provided out-of-the-box as stock Plugins. This plugin system allows
the d20Pro Team to react much more rapidly when third parties make changes
to their formats. This also opens the door for hobby developers to write
their own custom d20Pro ImportCreaturePlugin classes.
Customizable Stats Tab for Character Mini Window
The information displayed in the Stats tab in the Mini window can now be
customized by editing files found
in <install directory>/judge/campaigns/<campaign name>/res/ManuallySpecified/stats.zip
and by adding special tags to the notes section of the creature.
Campaign Folders
Judges now have multiple 'campaigns' stored in d20Pro that use customized
skill lists, feat lists, character classes, etc. The Judge chooses which
campaign they will be using from a drop-down list below the alias before
starting the game. d20Pro must be restarted to change campaigns. This
feature eliminates the need to maintain multiple installations of d20Pro
which use different customized lists.

You can now add extra damage on critical hits and this damage can by a
specified type. (e.g. a flaming burst weapon can deal deal +1d10 fire
damage on a critical).

character sheet will be displayed at the bottom of the Story tab in the creature's
Mini-Window.
===Fixes===
* Critical Hit Max Damage
An attack can be created to do maximum damage on a critical hit by setting the
critical hit modifier to “x1”. Instead of “x1” this now reads “MAX” to better
indicate its functionality.
* Placing Tiles on Top of Each Other
Use Ctrl-Click to force place a Tile on top of another tile.
* Duplicate Tiles Will Retain Previous Tile's Size
When placing multiples of the same tile on a map the new tiles will no longer
sometimes revert to the default 2x2 size but will keep the same size as the
previously placed tile. You can still change the size of the new tiles before
placing them.
* Original Value for DR and ER Displayed Correctly
The Attack Resolution Damage window previously displayed the damage modified
by DR and ER in both the modified and unmodified boxes. The original, unmodified
damage will now be displayed correctly so the Judge can make the correct changes
if necessary.

Effects which allow a reflex save to negate damage are applying half damage if
the save is made. These Effects will not apply damage now if the reflex save is made.
