Card Names on Table

You can name cards when you add them to a deck. But the virtual tabletop doesn't really seem to care. For example, if you name a card and then drag it to the table as a token, it doesn't have a token name. Not sure if this is an error or grounds for a suggestion. Fixing it would definitely make token_name macros make a lot more sense in my games.

I could probably write you a script that turns on show nameplate when cards are in the table.

Could you make it so that it doesn't show the nameplate (or unchecks "Players can see name") when the card is face-down? Because that would really help a lot.

Second this. Especially for using any sort of tarot deck, the images can be hard to see unless we expand them. Showing the names would help make it a lot more usable. It should only be displayed when the cards are face up.

Are you planning on doing it? I've gotten used to waiting a while when I have a request for you, so I didn't bother with bumping :P

If it works the way I think, it should be a trivial little script that monitors on('change:graphic',...) and checks a few things then flips the setting on/off. If that's the case, sure. =D

Cheers! on('ready',function(){ "use strict"; var TitleCard = function(o,p){ var card = getObj('card',o.get('cardid')); if( 0 === o.get('currentSide') ) { o.set({ name: card.get('name'), showname: true, showplayers_name: true }); } else { o.set({ showname: false, showplayers_name: false }); } }; on('add:card',TitleCard); on('change:card',TitleCard); })
