I've been playing around with the dynamic lighting.  So far I'm amazed by it.  However I do have one issue.  When I set a token to emit light at less than 360 degrees (usually 45 degrees), it almost always does so from a side that isn't the front facing side.  Is there any way to control this? Am I doing something wrong?  Thanks in advance.

Here's what I'm talking about.  My pirate captain is clearly facing south yet his light is coming out of his back and illuminating stuff behind him.

This is due to the way tokens are drawn and marketed vs how the interface is set up. The default is them facing downward, yet the handle, or "front" faces upward. Conflicting expectations. The simple fix is to right click on the token and flip the image vertical.

Oh wow.  I've been using roll20 for a year now and I never noticed the flip vertical flip horizontal things. Thanks  That worked!
