Features

• Simple Fog implements a manual fog of war layer above the core vision layer
  • Enable and disable the Simple Fog layer at any time, per scene
  • This allows you to use both Simple Fog AND the core vision for line of sight, or alternatively use only one or the other, on a scene by scene basis
• Tokens can be automatically hidden and revealed when underneath Simple Fog with a configurable opacity threshold
• Implements a history system so you can easily undo your actions
• Various drawing tools for drawing and erasing fog of war manually
  • Brush tool
    • Hotkeys for quickly changing brush size
  • Rectangle & Ellipse tool
    • Hold shift to force equal width & height while drawing
  • Polygon Shape tool
    • Click the orange handle to finish your drawing, or right click to cancel
  • Grid tool
    • Reveals any grid square you drag across, works for both Hex and Square grids
• Add an image to the Simple Fog layer which overlays the selected tint for both GMs and Players.

Scene Configuration

Allows you to set various options which affect the entire layer for the current scene

• Set an image overlay for the fog on both player and GM screens.

This version is a repackaged version of the League's fork for personal use by me, Matt Dawson. Packaging has been simplified to make maintenance easier for me, a person that heavily relies on this plugin, over the long term. Rely upon this version at your own risk.
