Obsidian - Working with Regional Maps

[@freakfire74]

Amazing what is possible with this tool. It changed my way of playing and preparing completely. Thanks for all your amazing videos and taking the time to spread the knowledge.

[@JoshPlunkett]

Check out the video on calculat9ng travel distance. We talked about calculated fields in realm works but I never understood the need for them until I saw the potential in obsidian.

[@freakfire74]

@@JoshPlunkett Just watched it. That's incredible!

[@biinskii]

love these tutorials. I am not a DM but I am writing a book and I am using all these tools to make the world feel real. Where is the calculator located? I am having trouble trying to calculate the bounds right now.

[@biinskii]

Found it :)

[@SIOSpawn]

so we went from installing it straight into you already having full code blocks done and several maps already done. Is there a tutorial on how to get all of these in between steps?

[@JoshPlunkett]

@SIOSpawn are you working through the website or just the videos? The website has a getting starting list. Do that first. Then pick the functionality you are interested in from the plugin tutorials and watch those tutorials. www.obsidianttrpgtutorials.com

[@SIOSpawn]

@JoshPlunkett the videos. I'll check out the website Just want to put a map of barovia on my stupid obsidian so I can put all my pins on it and it keeps giving me a world map I dont think the sample code in the plug-in section works at all because it's so old

[@YokoRaz]

Your videos are really in depth and helpful, thank you so much for sharing all this knowledge. I've been trying to find a way to associate markers to specific layers of image maps, i.e. I have three images as different layers, but the markers seem to be shared between them as soon as you convert them to a code block. I've been looking through the obsidian leaflet plugin documentation and I can't seem to find info on whether this is possible. Any idea if that is supported?

[@JoshPlunkett]

@YokoRaz I've not actually tried multiple layers when adding to a code block. It works easily when stored in the leaflet settings file. Might be worth raising with the dev and see if he has any advice.

[@YokoRaz]

@@JoshPlunkett I might do that - thanks for taking the time

if im using obsidian on ipad how can i measure the distance, (alt click)

[@stefanied4376]

Anyone know how to get the measurement functionality of the ALT Click on a Mac?

[@JoshPlunkett]

Try the Command+Click or Ctrl+Click. It will only work if the bounds are setup.

[@stefanied4376]

It worked! Was just derping- but thanks for responding!

[@pepijnkooij2830]

it worked and then it didn't... what do you do?

[@mebum2289]

how do I set a folder as an attachment folder? it doesnt give me that option

[@JoshPlunkett]

Settings > Files and Links > Attachment Folder Path

[@akrumvatum1627]

I wish that would work for me, but whatever map I try to make there I can't. The code stays as a code and doesn't change into an image of the map.

[@JoshPlunkett]

What view mode are you in? Best place support is our community discord. Jump in there and ask for help. Much easier as you can share you note. obsidianttrpgtutorials.com/Obsidian+TTRPG+Tutorials/Community+and+Support

[@KDS9510]

I had the same problem. It's because you're in edit mode. in the top right there is an option to switch to viewing mode and the map will pop up.

[@theoriginalbuggins]

Josh, can you say where you either got the map, or what you used to create it. Much appreciated if you can!

[@JoshPlunkett]

I made that map with cc3+ many years ago now. It's hosted on the profantasy community atlas if you want a copy.

[@Aelanna]

@@JoshPlunkett CC3 is a great tool, I make all my local area battle maps in it.

[@ITSMDGM]

your a fucking life saver
