I'm trying to create a map with background images of the various decks of a ship. I would like to have all decks on one map but I seem to be hitting a max size of the playable table area. Is there any way to adjust the table size to more than 120 x 120?

Are you getting some sort of error when making a larger table? I just successfully resized a page to 200x200. EDIT: Hmm, while it re-sized fine at first, when I tried to reload the campaign, the editor crashed. I tried working my way from 200x200 down to 120x120; the editor kept crashing upon reload until the page was left at 120x120.

I just looked into this. I was able to go to 250x250. 300x300 still worked, but what happened for me was the grid disappeared. So basically it looks like there is a maximum amount of memory/video memory that your computer has. It seems like (on Chrome at least) when you reach the maximum of this memory, the Canvas layer can crash, which is what causes the grid/fog of war to disappear. The other stuff (maps, tokens, etc.) seemed to work fine for me. So unfortunately while there's no limit baked into Roll20, it seems like there's going to be some sort of upper limit on how large a map can be based on your individual computer. Also keep in mind that this means there will be an upper limit for your player's computers as well.

You don't need to have a full-size canvas though. Just tile the map into a bunch of known-usable canvas sizes (e.g. 1024x1024 pixels) and move them independently. If you're using a canvas your rendering code probably won't need to change at all -- just iterate over all of them with appropriate offsets, and don't bother drawing ones that are wholely obscured by the scrolling.

I have a 400 x 200 map that I've used. It crashes at some resolutions, but not the ones that I commonly use 100%, 40%, and 10%. The 100% version loses the grids. As an experiment, I doubled the size to 800 x 400. It started crashing at 40%, but still worked at 10% and 100%. Again the 100% did not have grids on it.

Could someone toss me some instruction on 'how' to increase the table size to a 300x300? I can't find any place to actually alter the size.

Click on the grey "page" tab near the top left of your page. This will open a menu of the pages in your campaign in a bar across the top of the window. Hover your mouse pointer over the icon for the page you want to adjust. A grey cogwheel will appear slightly above and to the left of it. Click on that. A dialogue box will open. Type the width and height you want the page to be into the "page size" text boxes on that dialogue box. Then click "Okay". Then click on the "page" tab at the bottom right of the pages menu bar to close it.
