Default token size

March 28 (10 years ago)

Edited March 28 (10 years ago)
Hi all,

I have some vehicle tokens I'm trying to set up, I want them all to occupy multiple squares on the table and most are not square. That said, I have padded the tokens so that they should fit cleanly into the square grid.

When I bring the tokens into Roll20 though, they are squished down to occupy a single grid square, completely losing the aspect ratio and scale of the token - I can manually adjust the tokens size in-game but it's a pain and it means that I need to remeber the token sizes to get the scaling correct..

Is there any way to adjust the settings on a token in the library so that it comes into a game at a specific default size?

Many thanks for any help,
Bring them in while on the map layer and then move to Token Layer.
also you can right click the token, Advanced> set dimensions i believe, you can get that information form jsut hovering over a file in windows explorer.

Hi Ikoaya
You are correct, but I was after a slightly more reliable method that didn't require me to remember the correct token sizes and ratios (I guess I could tag them with the sizes, but it would be much easier if I could just assign default sizes to the token in the library). It's doubly irritating as they show up with the correct proportions in the library...
Does anyone know how items in the Marketplace manage with oddly shaped tokens?

I'll give it a go, thanks Mark,
Not exactly elegant, but if it works then that's enough to be getting on with.
