Is 225kb a decent size for a map? I'm new to FG and making my first dungeon, (although I've been a DM for 29 years).
It seems to load pretty fast when I open a second player instance (as opposed to the 5mb size i started off with). Just wondering what the "normal size" is for decent load speed.
I have made a bunch of "placeable object" tokens: Dungeon doors, Sarcophagus, Wizards Desk, Treasure chests etc. These are all about the same size as character and monster tokens (memory wise), and I saved them all as PNG files.
I ask, because it seems like I can go ahead and put all that on the map and leave it, rather that place them "in game". Is this what others are doing?
I have all the World Works 3d kits, and was able to cut and paste some really nice looking stuff. Using perspective skews in photoshop I made some chairs that look really cool, etc.
I'm using the method Xorn described for making monster tokens to make the "placeable objects". I can open doors, and move stuff around during the game doing it this way, and seems like it loads ok when I open a second instance on my laptop.
