Unlimited counters/markers

Beren · Post by **Beren** » 31 Aug 2008, 16:08

Is is possible to add some kind of counters, like markers in cyberboard, to have an unlimited number of them? as numbers, battle markers, arrows....

EDIT. Another question... how you make a counter in ownership of one player (he is the only one able to see, for example, the back of the counter), is this in Zun Tzu?

Thanks!

You can't specify an unlimited number, only an arbitrarily large number.
Insert this in each counter section definition:

Code: Select all

supply="100"

thanks Jerome, can you put an example?

and the other question... is it possible to take in ownership counters? explample: they can´t see the backside of the counter...you are the only one allowed to look at it

In world in flames I need it for the USA chits... and in other games with fog of war is basic

, like in Kevin zucker´s games

Hi Beren, Jerome must be busy!

I got this fragment of code from his Poker game box:

Code: Select all

</counter-sheet>
	<counter-sheet name="Chips" front-image-file="chips.jpg" front-mask-file="chips-mask.png">
		<counter-section front-left="505" front-top="506" front-right="807" front-bottom="808" />
		<counter-section columns="4" front-left="0" front-top="0" front-right="984" front-bottom="246" supply="100" shadow="40" />
		<counter-section columns="4" front-left="0" front-top="246" front-right="984" front-bottom="492" supply="50" shadow="40" />
		<counter-section columns="2" front-left="0" front-top="492" front-right="492" front-bottom="738" supply="20" shadow="40" />
		<counter-section columns="2" front-left="0" front-top="738" front-right="492" front-bottom="984" supply="10" shadow="40" />
	</counter-sheet>

The shadow attribute just affects how far each counter casts a shadow - just set it to "0" if you don't want them.

Regards, Bill

Thanks Bill, and do you know how to use :

"Insert this in each counter section definition:

supply="100""

I need an example, i don´t know where to put it

There's no way to own game pieces in the current version. I plan to implement that for block games.
On the other hand, you can own a board and hide it from the other players.
