6 years ago I'd like to use rolisteam to speed up my work as a GM (we usually gather IRL). For instance: drawing maps, switching musics, creating NPC's and managing fights and turns of initiative.
Drawing map is the slowest and hardest thing for me. It breaks the rythm for my players when I have to take 10-15 minutes to draw a battleground. It is to me the most important thing I hope Rolisteam can help me to improve.
Currently, I have the feeling Rolisteam is not ready to substitute the good old paper and pen yet but I believe it will eventually get there.
I'll try to test Rolisteam for my next game.

I'd like to suggest functionnalities and improvements to V-maps only:
- Functionnalities
[ ] 0 - Building import/export: Link(/anchor) floors and objects together then save them so you can use them later in another map or in another scenario.
[ ] 1 - Resizable selections: For example, when I draw multiple buildings, I often realize that I drew some of them smaller than others and then I have to resize every element one by one... When I select several objects, it would be nice if I could resize them all at once.
[x] 2 - Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y: Undo/redo changes made on the map while drawing
[ ] 3 - Quick scale: "Measure" a distance between two points on the map and "set" the distance you wish it to represent to automatically adjust the scale and the grid of the drawing.
[x] 4 - Bucket and pipette: Similar to the ones in microsoft paint, they help to change colors. The bucket set the color of the elements you click on and the pipette copies the color of the element you click on.
- Improvements:
[ ] 5 - Path tool: It's hard to select elements covered by the path even when the path is not filled.
[x] 6 - Select tool: I suggest that your cursor should highlight the outlines of all the components underneath. When you click on a place where many elements overlap, a small menu could opens up where you could chose the component you want to select.
[ ] 7 - Rectangle tool: Maybe it's just me but I find the re-size functionnality really odd. Currently, when you want to resize one edge of the rectangle, you also affect the opposite edge (keeping the center of the rectangle anchored down at its original place). To me, when you drag one corner of the rectangle, the anchor point during the modification should be the opposite corner (as in "microsoft paint" for example).
NB: These are the first remarks I came up with 1 hour after I installed rolisteam. I'm sorry if they are not all entierly relevant as I haven't checked this project thoroughly.
