Masterplan

Masterplan is an application that helps you to build D&D 4E campaigns.

You can outline your plot structure, build encounters and maps, detail your campaign world, and create custom creatures and NPCs.

Installing it

To install Masterplan, get the Masterplan.zip file from the latest release, which can be found here:

https://github.com/andyaiken/masterplan/releases/latest

Extract all the files in this zip into their own folder, and run Masterplan.exe.

Building and running it

Prerequisites You'll need to have Visual Studio installed (community edition is fine), and the Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Projects extension loaded.

To build Masterplan, open Masterplan.sln in Visual Studio and build the Masterplan project (F6).

Bear in mind that every time you build Masterplan in Visual Studio, the library files are copied from ./Libraries into the output folder, so any changes you make to these libraries won't be retained.

The other project in the solution is called Setup, which creates an installer.

Contributing to it

If you find a bug, or you think of a feature that should be in Masterplan, please add something to the GitHub Issues tab (https://github.com/andyaiken/masterplan/issues).

If you're a coder, feel free to submit pull requests to the main repo.

masterplan's Issues

Handle tiles not fitting in standard grid.

Sometimes png of maps don't exactly align to the grid - for example there is extra half or quarter tile on each side of map, which makes fitting it inside Tactical Map screen impossible without editing the image. I could not find in-program workaround in current release.

It would be very useful to have at least some of the following:

• Allow cropping tiles when importing them.
• Allow to move tiles pixel by pixel, instead of tile by tile.
• Option to use fractions when setting size of the tile.
• Some tool to scale tiles in Map Editor.

Ctrl + Alt + A replaces all characters with "ą" instead of adding "ą"

The method used to ensure ctrl + a works probably causes it, resulting in identical situation as here:

https://superuser.com/questions/1404503/using-alta-clears-all-text-in-a-textbox

I believe this line is responsible:
Masterplan\Controls\DefaultTextBox.cs:101

Application Crashing when trying to edit large stat block

I'm trying to edit the Beholder stat block from Monster Vault, and no matter what I do, when I make a couple of edits anywhere after changing its level, the entire application closes.

I am using the latest version of Windows 11, please let me know if I am leaving out any important information.

Event Viewer is capturing the crash and provides the following report:

Dice Roller - Odds Button

Pressing the Odds button from the Dice Roller freezes, and eventually crashes the application.

It is dependent on the size of the die. It starts to slow down at 9-10 d6 and crashes at 11-12 d6. With 6 d20 it slows down and crashes at 7-8 d20. With a d4 it starts to slow down at 12-14 d4 and crashes at 15d4. Also when the die quantity is about to crash the app, the graph displayed does not conform to a bell curve (I think it has to do with the window size)

Improvements to Groups in Encyclopedia

Few features I am missing in Encyclopedia:

• When editing group in encyclopedia I am unable to filter in links window. This is annoying when working with bigger encyclopedias - dozen entries, and it's already hard to find one I am looking for.
• When editing group in encyclopedia I am can see links, but not their categories. There is already second column, so why not use it. Also filtering would be nice too.
• Ability to select group from within encyclopedia entry.
• Hyperlinks from headers in given group, to exact entries it refers.

MM3 creature calculations

Would like to work on bringing creature calculations in line with MM3

Can't save project, claims write protection on drive

I spent part of last evening working on a sizeable project in Masterplan. When I went to save my progress, I got this error message:

This message comes up regardless of where I choose to save it, or what I give it for a file name.

Link to existing Encyclopedia entries on regional map

Locations on Regional Map can contain encyclopedia entries. However when editing location in regional map screen, I can only create new entries - clicking No in dialog, results in nothing happening.

I think that doing following steps:

Open Regional Map
Select map. create new location.
Click Encyclopedia Entry.
Choose No in the dialog window, asking if we want to create new encyclopedia entry associated with location.

should result in opening of new window,which allows us to browse encyclopedia entries, and/or exit this entirely.

Adding this would cut a lot of unnecessary copy-paste and linking entries for example when starting with drafts of some locations, and only after this adding maps.

Another nice to have feature would be

• Ability to link to locations from within the encyclopedia
• Ability to link encyclopedia to multiple regional maps. Like metropolis being linked to the big continent scale map, and regional map.

Git/Project question

Hello,
as i said a few days ago, i'm working on I18N updates.
As you know, all the project files are modified with this update...

Do you prefer

• a single pull request with a single commit
• a single pull request with a commit for each file i update
• a pull request for each file

Up to now i have updated more than 290 files ...

HTML Encounter Export to have 300px width again

It would be useful to put the 300px fixed width back in to the HTML export, this resolves well for printing and display. Currently the output is set to 99% instead and fills a full browser window.

Tiles in the map editor are too small to make out

I really like the simplicity of the map editor - I like to use Dungeondraft myself but that's a lot more in depth. I wanted to give something to my DM to have something simple to throw things together, and this is perfect.

However, the thumbnails are absolutely tiny. They could be nearly twice the size as-is with all the white space around them.

I'd also consider making it easier to shove in tiles from PNGs if possible.

Thank you.
