MTScript is a custom language for writing MapTool macros which grew out of MapTool’s chat functionality. It began simply
enough as a way to roll dice. It expanded over time to the point where users create custom gaming frameworks and
convenience functions in MapTool to be used by GMs and Players alike. To get a hint of what mtScript can do, check out
the User Creations topic in the MapTool forum. To see MTScript taken to the Nth degree see
Wolph42’s Bag of Tricks which encapsulates extreme MTScripting. You’ll find support for complete RPG
frameworks for a huge number of games systems in Campaign Frameworks.
RPTools products are used worldwide and support 11 languages as of this writing. We’ve always relied on volunteers to provide translations for the menus, tooltips, and labels in MapTool and TokenTool. We’ve now made it easier to contribute by leveraging crowdin, a third-party translation site.
RPTools is an international community. We see this on the social sites as well as in our developer group. There are also several native language support sites. Translating the text in MapTool is one of the many ways we support each other.
