Need help with either 1) Making everything on a map twice as big, or 2) Making all character sheet tokens twice as small

I recently bought a pack of 100+ spell tokens for use in my DOTMM game, which I also bought from roll20. Trouble is, all 26 DOTMM maps are half as big as they should be. This isn't normally a problem, since you can simply set each maps grid cell distance to 10, but now that I'd like to regularly drop tokens into it, I've encountered a problem - All dropped in tokens are twice as big as they should be. This means that a 20 foot radius fireball is actually a 40 foot radius and so on, applying to all 100+ spells I bought, as well as any creatures from the monster manual (also bought from roll20) that I try to drop in. This could be fixed by me hand resizing all the tokens, but that sounds like a very lame way to spend an afternoon on something I paid to be convenient, so could any of you smart people help me out?

Hi Daylight! When you set up a custom token, make sure you do it on a page where the grid is set to a width of 1. Then save the default from that page. It will then drop in properly scaled on pages with different scales. Post back if you need more details or that doesn't work.

When I add the pack to my game, it automatically generates a map with all the tokens on it. Changing the map (or token) scale afterwards has no effect on the costum tokens already assigned to character sheets created by the add on.

Maybe use the tokenmod script on selected tokens? double the size of selected tokens: !token-mod --set scale|*2 defaulttoken halving: !token-mod --set scale|*.5 defaulttoken UPDATE/EDIT: added the additional " defaulttoken " command as per the suggestions below.

I'd have to experiment with the pack. Using Vince's solution, you might be able to also add --set defaulttoken and fix the entire page.
This scriptlet that The Aaron wrote has been super useful for resizing some module maps, which may be helpful for you for this issue: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/3886617/script-normalizepagesize-snippet-to-scale-tactical-maps-to-5ft-scale" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/3886617/script-normalizepagesize-snippet-to-scale-tactical-maps-to-5ft-scale</a>

Here's the instructions for if anyone with the same problem wants a clear summary: 1) Install tokenmod and NormalizePageSize API scripts. 2) Set the Grid Cell Distance of each map you want to double the size of to 10 (you find this on the map setting menu). 3) Type this into chat to resize your maps: !nps 4) Select everything on the token and GM lairs of the maps you changed, and type this into chat: !token-mod --set scale|*2 5) If/when you crash your API, go into the API menu and press "Save Script" to reboot it, and carry on where you left off. And again, thanks a bunch keithcurtis and vÍnce !

You may want to make an addition to your step 4 command: !token-mod --set scale|*2 defaulttoken That will cause it to store the adjusted token as the default for when you drag it out again. (For already scaled tokens, just omit the scale part.)
