Fog of War should have predfined reveal areas and "reveal all"

When hiding and revealing areas on the map I found it to be a little fiddly. I'd like to have a "reveal all" option in the reveal tools. I'd also like to be able to draw some predefined polygons I could reveal with one click. Is some of this available in the lighting stuff for mentor? If so it might be nice to indicate that in the free version. Maybe when I enable fog of war. "By the way if you want pre-defined reveal areas and other cool stuff consider upgrading!"

Dustin A. said: Is some of this available in the lighting stuff for mentor? Not quite, but Dynamic Lighting comes close. When setting up DL, you use the drawing tools on another layer (above the GM layer); tokens which emit light cast shadows based on those drawings. If you create a polygon around an area, none of the players can see inside... until you move or delete the polygon.

Then my request stands. :) I'd like for the reveals to be less fiddly and have ways to set up one click reveals.

You could set up 2-click reveals by using black drawing objects. Create a black polygon that covers an odd-shaped room. When the door opens, select the polygon and delete it. Ta-dah!

And I _think_ you can have a "reveal all" by turning off fog of war on the page settings.

Damn Curse you and your inevitable yet untimely workaround. [Edit: Got to remember to never forget to check my references.]

David is correct, you can effectively reveal all by turning off the Fog of War. Additionally, you can zoom out to a very low percentage then just draw a box over the entire map. - Gauss
