Custom Map Import Bug

August 04 (6 years ago)

There seems to be a major bug issue with custom imported maps.


With Firefox, every time I switch between a custom imported map & a Roll20 map (e.g. asset map), I can no longer edit any tokens or map tiles, & am forced to refresh my window to regain my editing ability..... but Firefox runs Roll20 the smoothest (of the browsers I've tried). Chrome is much choppier (in lag & frame rates), but I don't have to refresh my browser when switching between maps........... but there's another VERY irritating problem in both browsers. EVERY time I import a png map into Roll20, I get this bizarre "lighting-like circle" in the middle of my map that I CANNOT remove. If I upload a jpg, the circle isn't there, but when I try to use dynamic lighting for my players, instead of a nice, smooth, circular reveal (as I see in every "asset map"), the imported maps will only reveal in "square blocks" (like a "pixelated reveal"). What is going on????

I'm sorry to hear that you're having issues with the site.

Could you please carefully work through the first three steps of our guide to Solving Technical Issues?


If none of the above succeeds, please thoroughly work through Step 4. (Don't forget the complete Console Log, starting from table loadin and progressing through some exampes of the behavior you're reporting!)

Thank you!

It is most definitely a bug of some sort. I tried uploading a PNG & JPG of the same map, & both generate the same problem. Secondly, I downloaded a "fresh" browser (one I've never used before, thus, no cache & no addons, etc.), & still ran into the same problem. In addition, I tried to upload a GIF & got a "broken link" icon, which wouldn't even allow me to import the map to a new page. One of my players sent me an image of what his screen looked like, as well (this image, btw, is the same map I posted in my first post).
(*edit -- I'm not sure I can directly upload the image..... the forum is giving me a hard time by giving me an "infinite loading" loop, every time I try to upload the image. Update... no matter how many times I tried, the forum would not let me attach the image below to this post... so I had to upload it in its own post. Additionally, I'm now in the process of creating a bug report. One of the key features my players & I were interested in using the Pro version for was using our own maps, but seeing as how this isn't currently possible, we don't have a lot of incentive to keep the Pro account. Hopefully this bug can be addressed soon).
