Scrolling Map Option

This feature would allow a GM to upload a map and just have a simple scrolling animation that loops the map for combat that involves constant moving like ship battles or other vehicle combat. Allows scrolling for side to side or top to bottom and choosing the speed of the scrolling.

Clever idea if they can implement it! Gets my vote.

I would find this useful especially for wilderness maps like jungles.

Repeatedly Scrolling (looping) a background graphic would be a creative way to achieve that effect, so, good suggestion.

There ARE other ways to get a constant moving background in Roll20! Mainly "GIF" animations, which I believe Roll20 actually converts to some other format.

There are some Marketplace products that have this & demonstrates it well: Examples,
