Just wondering what the oval with numbers in them are that show up overlaid on the tokens for the combat tracker? For instance over the Goblin token it has a 0.6 and over the PCs it has 0.4.

Scaling on the individual tokens.
Scale them back to 1.0 and set a grid on your map.

Okay thanks, I did have a grid set but I guess I scaled the tokens incorrectly, looks much better now.

Now if I can just figure out why "snap to grid" doesn't seem to work the way I expect.

thanks again

As damned says, this is the scaling ratio of your tokens once they are placed on the map. You can manually scale each token by hovering the mouse cursor over the token (on the map or in the combat tracker) and using CTRL+mousewheel to scale each token individually. These will also appear if you have a grid on the map before you add tokens to it - the default setting for the ruleset is to automatically scale tokens to 80% of the grid when they are added to the map, you can change this "Token: Auto-scale to grid" campaign setting to 100% or Off as well.

Now if I can just figure out why "snap to grid" doesn't seem to work the way I expect.
Snap-to-grid will snap to a number of places on the grid - in the middle of the square, at each square vertex and also half way along each side. This allows the main positioning options to "snap" - creatures with more than one square (taking up a square) can snap to a vertex and fill the other square correctly. Creatures taking up more than one square (but in a rectangle, or "squeezing") can snap to half-way along the side of the square. This is easier to see with large grid sizes, if you have very small sizes it can sometimes lead to first-time positioning sometimes not exactly as you want it.

Okay now that makes sense. Now with the scaling fixed I can see the snap to grid work a lot better. Ran my first online session today and it went pretty well so now jut trying to figure out the niggling little things that popped up.

thanks for the quick reply
