API for tiling large maps?

<a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1207992/how-do-i" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1207992/how-do-i</a>... I have a 250 by 250 map, I would like to have the entire map made up of a 4x4 tile. I'm looking for an api which will do the job of copypasting a million times for me

This is a bad idea, because roll20 will end up super-slow to unusable if you put 3700 background tiles on the same map. Instead, download the tile, repeat it in Photoshop/Gimp, and then re-upload it (roll20 will still dislike you for using a 250 by 250 map, but less so than if you fill it with tiles).

Alright thanks for the tip, didn't want to use up my quota Do you know of a better way to manage a large village that's walkable so you can inside houses and stuff without making a large map?
Theater of the mind. You don't need a to scale map of the entire place. Have a overview map on a 50x50 canvas, and a couple of random street level maps for if they have any encounters in the village.

Hundreds of tiles would be too much, I agree. &nbsp;Photoshop method is a good approach here. However, alternatively, filling a page as large as 250x250 with tiles or maps of 50x50 would be much better than with tiles of 4x4. &nbsp;I've had the best success making individual tiles no larger than 5500x5500 pixels (which is around 78x78 units), but having several of these adjacent on one Page has not been a problem on any of the computers in my game group.
