Editing Maps
So I am making a map for my players and started it one day but did not finish it. Whey I came back to it I am unable to edit anything that I did before. I posted on the Discord and Zacchaeus confirmed that you cannot edit a map once you close it. He was not sure if this was a bug or feature. I am hoping its a bug. Has anyone else run into this and know of a way to edit a previously created map? I cannot keep redrawing the map everytime there is a change.

Just to be clear; this was a line drawing - not a map created using tiles.
I could not erase any existing lines but I could add more.Last edited by Zacchaeus; November 26th, 2020 at 20:04.

How were the lines created? The lines created by the toolbar can only be erased by the eraser from the toolbar but not from the sidebar. The eraser of the sidebar can only erase lines coming from the paint mode of the sidebar and not of the toolbar (though I am not sure whether this is intended)

Oh, and to clarify: The toolbar drawer and eraser are also the drawer and eraser of the play mode
But the drawer and eraser of the paint mode are a separate entity, so, to erase drawings coming from the paint mode, you need to use the eraser of the paint mode (not the one of the toolbar/play mode). And: You also need to make sure that you selected the drawing layer you want to edit before you can erase its lines using the eraser of the paint mode At least then it works on my side
EDIT: So, the drawing tools of the toolbar/play mode do not affect the drawing tools of the paint mode (and vice versa)Last edited by Kelrugem; November 26th, 2020 at 20:30.

Yes, the lines were drawn and the eraser (attempted to be used) from the drawing tools - not the tool bar. It seems that you can erase fine if this is done immediately - or at least during - the creation of the map. But once you exit and then re-enter FGU the eraser no longer erases existing lines - only new ones drawn in that session.

Ah oki, thanks
I just tested and cannot reproduce it (I drew something, exited, and launched again), but one needs to make sure that the drawing layer which one wants to edit is selected, without it being selected I also cannot erase anything (or something else is going on somehow)My extensions for 3.5e and Pathfinder

Ahh, wait. Yes you are correct - the layer needs to be selected. I assumed that it was since I started a new drawing and just drew stuff on a blank image. Clearly when I re-entered FGU I didn't select the layer - I assumed that just opening the image would be enough. So nothing to see here; it is all working as intended.

When I select the layer and try to erase I get the following error:
[ERROR] MOUSE UPDATE: System_ArgumentOutOfRangeException: index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.
Followed by a lot more info.
