Jen said: MCF said: Having almost no experience with JavaScript canvas, I was able to do  this . Baffling that there's not a proper solution after three+ years. Bump. Is there a way we can implement that locally as a stopgap meanwhile? Not easily, no. While it's a small change to the code, it requires a decent working knowledge of frontend web development to do, and is client-side only (so everyone in a group, say, would have to know how to do it). Additionally, closing the tab; refreshing; etc. will revert the changes. Maetco said: MCF said: Having almost no experience with JavaScript canvas, I was able to do  this .

Nope, small modification to the "game"'s rendering loop.  BoyDoesGames said: MCF said: Having almost no experience with JavaScript canvas, I was able to do  this . Baffling that there's not a proper solution after three+ years. Bump. But how.... See above. I'd go into more detail, but it would mean writing a relatively long guide which, given this is in development, will become redundant quickly. Frankly, I can't justify spending the time. For a developer at Roll20, though, this is literally* (and I can't emphasize this enough) less than five minutes of work. It blows my mind that this has not been fixed. * Or if it's not, there's something wrong, and maybe I need to send them my CV. [Apologies for the delayed response, I never received notifications]

This fix is now on the Dev server for testing.

YAY thank you for the fix!

The end is in sight, everyone.  And soon, the distance measurements will be too!
Nose! The additional snapping option are very welcomed improvements as well.
