Overview
The list below was made by me personally (Azhrei) as a reminder of things I wanted to work on. It is not given in any particular order, although I did rank things I thought were more important with plus signs ("+") and less important with minus signs ("-"). Anyone wishing to contribute code to MapTool in the form of Java patches should post to the Developer Notes forum and specify which items you want to tackle as we may have guidelines on how we want to see the item implemented.
List of "todo" items for MapTool 1.3
+Clients connecting to a server get the Campaign object from before the server was started?! http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=16274&p=173423#p173423
+Add ability to "browse" for a background image/texture when creating a new map or drawing with a texture
Add a "Recently Used" list of images from the library
Add ability to copy/paste to/from the System clipboard into a separate MapTool instance (or TokenTool would be nice, too)
-Add a checkbox that changes the Search textbox into a global search vs. just the currently library folder (maptool.client.ui.assetpanel.AssetPanel:{148,193})
+More data on the Connection panel: current map, centerpoint of map, whether a macro is running, IP address (for ping/traceroute tests?), other options...
+Parser still needs to be checked as it can't handle accented characters inside strings http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=15817&p=168859#p168831 -- looks like this will require updating to ANTLR v3 but that requires a new grammar definition -- too much work. This is on the roadmap for 1.4 though.
+Save the view coordinates of each map so returning to a map restores those view settings.
+Move the initial sight types from net.rptools.maptool.model.CampaignProperties.java to an external XML (like LightSources)
Locking players view continuously to the GM's view prevents auto-expose of fog from working?
Image scaling is broken in input() vs. chat or HTML http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=15166
Remove getTokenName() from MTscript? http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=15133&p=160854#p160846
token inside solid VBL exposes what's in the VBL! http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=14703#p160519
Add additional criteria to getTokens() so that layer can be selected http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=15335&view=unread#p163033
+Can't load tokens from prior to b59, but b59 will load/save them, making them available in b66?! (http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=14716)
+Why do IMarv's tokens no longer work? Look for backward-compatible fix. Could use XSLT; patching that in looks easy. Provide XSL via http URL?
+"weirdness" campaign causes X server to lock up when MT loads particular campaign http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=14504
+Performance of token properties from aliasmask (http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=14650#p155852)
+Add sound notification when a player receives initiative, and another sound whenever your name is mentioned in the chat log (or other arbitrary text); http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=14355&p=152869
+Can the statsheet be given a transparency level?
Can the eval() function be cleaned up so that BigDecimal's are returned as-is while strings are evaluated?
Macro buttons with embedded HTML elements don't work in macroLink() and such (http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=14551)
Add other uses for the Player list in the Connections panel: right-click Mute, Rename, Lock Drawing, Lock Movement, Token ownership on/off, select all owned tokens, and perhaps others.
Add player login name to MapExplorer for tokens they own
+Allow language translations to be external from the MapTool JAR file (see http://www.exampledepot.com/egs/java.lang/LoadClass.html)
Need a new Start Server wizard that starts with high-level choices (LAN, Internet, VPN) then progresses from there. Including choice of which NIC to use for advanced users.
Figure out why single vs. double quotes matter when using <img src='asset://...'> inside a button label; see http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=14133&p=149630#p149609
Add support for a set of global stylesheets?
Links in HTMLPane's don't always seem to take; related to the click box surrounding a link?
Need some kind of "observer" login to a MapTool server
Add the ability of the AssetDirectory to detect when directory timestamps have been updated and auto-index new images
