Can anyone align this map?

Can anyone figure out how to allign this map to the roll20 grid? Whenever I try, I can get it to fit a single square, but then it starts sliding off scale after that.

I shall direct you to Map-Alignment-And-You : <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/3688/map-alignme" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/3688/map-alignme</a>...

I ended up using 2100 X 1470 pixels for the size of the map. &nbsp;But honestly, using the link above is the best method. &nbsp;It'll teach you how to figure it out on your own. Since you seem new to setting up a map, I'll offer some advice that isn't in the link above: &nbsp;Make the page size of the map a lot larger than the actual size of the map. &nbsp;Then center your map on it. That way your players can't deduce if they've been everywhere like mine did when I first started using Roll20.

I'm not new to aligning maps, it's just that some maps (usually the hi-res official ones) dont align properly and de-sync over distance. For some reason, my uploaded imagine works with align to grid, but my original image doesn't. I'll just use the uploaded one now.

I've noticed this with some high res images I've used. &nbsp;I assumed that the lines on the image weren't even and that's why they slowly come unaligned.

I can't seem to align this one either now. This is rediculous.

The grid on this map doesn't look to be uniform(a frequent issue when resizing, depending on the method used). Individual squares look like they bounce between 145x145'ish to 142x142 inconsistently across the map.

Maps from WotC are notoriously known to be difficult in aligning due to the fact their squares are not true. Most people disable the grid since they already have a grid.

Can't get this map to align either. These official maps are pretty worthless for Roll20 it seems. They must only be intended to be used for tabletop sessions.

Pat S. said: Maps from WotC are notoriously known to be difficult in aligning due to the fact their squares are not true. Most people disable the grid since they already have a grid. The problem with that is that it fucks up the ruler tool and without being snapped to a square, it can make it very easy to fuck up movement.

Never said it was perfect but just what people were doing. I never experienced the ruler being wrong as I usually click on the center of the token and measure to where I need to. The movement is easy to work with as you can select the token and tap the spacebar to start&nbsp; waypoints . Other than working on the map in alternating corners in an attempt to get it close, it is the only method I know to be able to use it.

Thanks for the info, I was unaware that their maps weren't true squares. I've done the VTT maps for a few supplements through Assassin Games that I used a uniform vector grid, and both gridded and non-gridded versions are included.

I try to find gridless maps whenever possible. The grids are often slightly off, they want features to look pretty and a printed map on a table littered with tokens and the odd nacho or mountain dew cap don't need to be as precise as a digital map.

A good option is: Use the grid that is mostly aligned, but which gets "off" alignment after a certain distance. Make the alignment as close as possible, and then make Roll20's grid invisible. Change the Roll20 Grid Opacity to zero, transparent. &nbsp;The setting is called&nbsp; Opacity . Here is the wiki docs, <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Page_Settings#Grid" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Page_Settings#Grid</a> In this method -- You will SEE the grid that is on the WOTC map, but Tokens will move & measure according to the invisible Roll20 Grid which is only slightly off, and which is only off in some parts of the map anyway. &nbsp;It should look fine with the Tokens on the WOTC map and Players will hardly notice that tokens standing on the far-side of the map are standing on the cracks between the floor-stones (standing slightly over the WOTC grid lines, rather than directly in the middle of the WOTC squares). &nbsp;In some ways it may look even more natural like this, since people commonly straddle the crack in the sidewalk. Since everyone will be consistently and officially using the Roll20 Grid measurements and movements, all the tools for moving and measuring should work fine, with only slight slight discrepancy from the WOTC visual background scale. "Hey that looked like a 25' wide room but Roll20 measures it as only 24.5 feet across!" The discontinuity will probably be around 1 foot, if that, so just be sure to declare that the Roll20 measurement is the official distances in-play in-your-game.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get these maps? The exact same ones I bought from&nbsp; Mike Schley align perfectly without any adjustments needed. They are actually some of the easiest aligned maps I have ever used on roll20.&nbsp;

They are actually some of the easiest aligned maps I have ever used on roll20.&nbsp; I brought the maps from Mike Schley too, but I'm linking some of these pics from here just because it's easier and they appear to be the same. I don't know how you got the Mike Schley ones to align. Thye come in folders containing a jpeg of the DM map and then a PDF of the players maps, so I ran the player maps through a PDF to JPG converter, but some of them still don't fit. If you have some insight on how I could get stuff to work, it would make me feel better otherwise I'll have wasted $12.25.

I never received any pdf's all the maps I purchased were jpg. Maybe its changing something in the conversion. Anyway good luck.
