Images/Maps Pixel size

[Morden]

Anyone know off-hand what is the pixel size of the image/map window?

[Moon Wizard]

The pixel size of the image window is defined by the ruleset. Also, there are starting, minimum and maximum sizes definable by each ruleset.

Which ruleset are you using?

I created a test game using 3.5 to mess around with.
Is there a way I can I tell what the pixel size is for a ruleset so I can crop images/maps ahead of time?

[kalmarjan]

I would leave a map as is, with the limit of 2000 pixels on width or height. There are in game controls to scroll on the map.

Square maps work a little better at the moment. Fill the rest of the background with a solid color and it should behave a little better as far as default zoom, panning and zooming.

If I drop a large image on the FG screen, you have to scroll around to see the entire image. I was hoping to resize the images before-hand so they would fit nicely.

You can use the mouse wheel to adjust the zoom of the image within FGII.

The current maximum for 3.5E ruleset is 700x700, and the minimum is 200x200.

Thanks all!

You can also resize the image viewport (displayable bit) by CTRL-dragging the image frame/border.

And where within the ruleset could I change the images/map pixel size?

[Foen]

The windowclass called imagewindow in the file adventure_images.xml has the following lines:


<maximum>
<width>700</width>
<height>700</height>
</maximum>
<minimum>
<width>200</width>
<height>200</height>
</minimum>

After you have changed those lines, you may need to delete your campaignregistry.lua file if you are using an existing campaign (this file contains temporary stuff, and saves the sizes of windows when they were last closed).

Thanks Foen. Temporary stuff means players chars too?

[Foen]

Nope, characters are held in the campaign's db.xml file, as is the rest of the campaign data. The campaignregistry.lua file holds some preference info, some combat tracker stuff etc. That said, it is always worth backing up your campaign folder regularly, and especially before making any manual changes.

The current maximum for 3.5E ruleset is 700x700, and the minimum is 200x200.

Is this true of the 4E rule set as well?

[Moon Wizard]

The 4E ruleset is currently set to 200x200 minimum, and 1024x768 maximum.
