The Patch Notes section of the Launcher seems to have issues loading. I'm still able to use the Toolkit just fine, but I've been unable to see the Patch Notes since the last time I updated Arkenforge. Any idea what could be causing this?

Hi there, I've been building a map in Arkenforge for a dockside and am using tile scroll to get a flowing water effect as well as some animations to add some ripples etc. The problem I'm having is matching the frames per second of the animation with the tile scroll speed and then calculating the video length to get an accurate loop.

Is there a standard timing or some sort of calculation based on the tile scroll speed and animation frames per second that I can use to ensure I get a complete an accurate loop that doesnt skip at the end?

I discovered this vtt and wanted to look at it more, but the website seems to be down.

Trying Arkenforge for the first time. One of the things that got me excited to use it was seeing I could brush on assets and textures/effects. Watching a tutorial for terrain placement, I saw you had to go to Map Building > Assets > Textures > I chose Water > Right Clicked the water texture I wanted > and Under "Default Placement" it only gives me Object, Line, Tile, and Token. No Brush options. I'm on the trail version to test the software, is this why? (v 0.5.1.16) I plan on buying it but not if I cant use brushes. Please help if I am doing something wrong.

I use a mac as my primary computer for Arkenforge and I just purchased an IR frame to start doing touch controls.

Can I use a pc to run the touch controls, but keep using the Mac as the primary computer to run Arkenforge?

I've been making maps on my pc and want to transfer them to my laptop is there anyway I can do that I'll be using arkenforge on both

Hi, I am a person that needs some in depth tutoring to grasp something like arkenforge. These 2 and 3 minute YouTube videos are useless unless you already have the basics down.

Is there a channel with longer tutorials that I am not finding? Like from initial opening of the program and work our way through it.

Would it be possible to have dark vision sight distance as an independent slider from regular vision? I like to use simulate darkness on my players so they can see lights in the darkness far away but nothing past the 60 ft distance that even the dark vision would allow. If it were independent sliders for the types of vision that would be great.

Is there a way to have the roofs on the houses visible until the players enter the building?

Edit: "toggle hidden" hides it on the player screen but it still shows up on the DM screen, kind of hard to tell a story when its not visible to me

When I try to import maps, file explorer opens up and quickly says that the program isn't responding. It's done this for every single import option and I'm pretty confused because my first import worked completely fine. Is this a computer issue or something with the software?

On v0.5.1.14 when creating a map to use on a second physical screen I can set the dimensions of the screen and use the player view box to see the map size relative to their screen. If i want the map to be 20inches by 20inches I can set the grid size to 1inch and then use snapping to drag the map to the appropriate size, but this requires counting squares and if its a large map that's easy to miscount. Is there any way I can just edit the map to have some set dimensions or at least a set amount of grid spaces? In the transform tools theres the scale options but that requires figuring out the size the map initially gets imported as and then working out the scale which is not particularly efficient or user friendly.

Additionally when i reveal a square of fog of war it only reveals half of the outermost cells, i can't find any settings that would control this behaviour.

Hey guys, I am currently working on an encounter where I want the players to know the area but only display tokens when the players get close enough.

Right now on the player screen all tokens are being displayed even tho my player tokens are not close enough.

Is there a way to hide my NPC tokens while the player tokens are not close to them? I need transparent fog of war so I am not using "Hide already seen areas".

I've been having a problem for a long time, where I can't update the toolkit or launcher from the launcher. The only solution I've found is uninstalling and reinstalling, but that deletes all of my settings too, so it's far from ideal.

Lately I have been having a lot of trouble moving assets within the app. When I move my cursor over may of the assets, select it, and attempt to move the asset it tries to select a group of assets. Sometimes I'm able to move them and then just like that they stop responding. I reset and reinstalll the software but the problem persists! Has anyone else run into this issue?

Hey everyone. I’m new to map building and such and want to get into it for lancer specifically. I was wondering if arkenforge has highly stylized retro looking top down assets in the theme of games like streets of rage II or tmnt turtles in time? I really like the aesthetic and am hoping to build a map in that style by using a mix of a VTT and 3d printed buildings on top of my table map. Here are some pictures for reference.

I don't have a second computer. So, I'm using the Arkenforge touch app. But when try to pair my phone and the master toolkit. It fails to pair. How do I fix this?. I feel like there should be more video tutorials on pairing two PCs and pairing the Touch app and a PC.

I saw a video of a guy who was showing off his gaming setup. He didn't use a touchscreen. But two overlapping projectors. And he was using OBS to stream the player view from Arkenforge, or at least it looked like Arkenforge, to the projectors. And uses a GoXLR to switch on and off certain effects, like music, lighting, sound effects, and switch between maps. But he never explains how all that worked. Does anybody else use OBS like this?. And how does that work?.

Everytime I try to download Arkenforge it downloads arkenforgelaunchersetup.msi and tells me it's not commonly downloaded and to make sure I trust it. But if I try to open it it doesn't do anything. The file is titled Unconfirmed 332010.crdownload. I'm trying to use the free trial. I can't find evidence of my malware bytes causing problems. Is there anything I can do?

I'm interested in trying Arkenforge out. I've installed in on my Win 11 desktop. However, I can't get the Launcher Patcher to install. I've tried resetting the PC, but no luck. Been stuck on this screen for hours.

I've installed it on an old laptop, and it got past this screen.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Ok, my friends and i invested in building a touchscreen table to make our games more immersive. And i plan to use Arkenfotrge with it. But I quickly came to a realization that it's not going to be as easy as just slapping a map on there, and I won't have any issues. I didn't think about the touchscreen and my mouse fighting for control. I only have the one laptop. So I don't have the option of doing a two PC setup. And I'm not too sure how I would even go about accessing my DM notes and references at the same time Arkenforge is broadcasting the map to the touchscreen. So are there any tip or links to videos on how to properly make this work?.
