Map scale

[El Condoro]

Is it possible, or has someone made an extension, to allow variable square and/or hex scales in FG?

By default, a drawn grid has each square as 5 ft. per side or 5 ft. across a hex. Can we make it 20 ft. across, for example, so that when drawing a shape or using a ranged attack the correct range or size is drawn or calculated?

I am working with the UA: When Armies Collide rules, which use a 20 ft. scale. Changing a 80 ft. ranged weapon attack, for example, to 4 squares and then measuring it gets tedious (if I even remember to!) and will still show the range as 20 ft., hence the question.

You can set the default scale and units displayed for each ruleset, or override in an extension. The setting is global, and applies to all maps equally.

Thanks. My next question is how/where is the global setting set? I'll do a search for extensions, too, but if you can recommend one, that would be helpful. Cheers.

in GameElements set:



<distance>
<base>20</base>
<diagmult>1.5</diagmult>
<suffix>'</suffix>
</distance>

Perfect! Thanks.
