Ftol is a tactics planner utility with a chat-like interface, very useful for clans of multiplayer games to make on-line strategies.
Front Tactics On Line tries to be a program to discuss strategies for multiplayer games, allowing the connection of several users simultaneously, and working like a chat program. Its based on SatStrat, a popular Counter-Strike adding some features (and not supporting, at the moment, other ones...).
Ftol has a workspace with a chat panel and a maps panel. The chat panel works like other chat-like programs, showing the users connected and the comments they write. The maps panel has a similar functionality: it allow a user to load a map (a gif file); then this map is loaded in every user workspace. Then they can paint icons in the map to discuss tactics.
There's not a map limit to load into ftol, and they can be loaded in two ways: public or private. If private, the map is only loaded in the user workspace; if public, is loaded in all users workspace.
The most important feature is that ftol is user configurable, unlike SatStrat. A user can add new icons (gif images) representing any multiplayer game, and then the tactics can be more accurated.
