Thank you for the reply. One more question, in the preparation mode, there is Daily, Rest and Once for the number of uses. I assume 'Daily' is per long rest and 'Rest' is per short rest, and Once is for consumables. Is that correct?

One question, if I may, is it possible to copy a line of sight "mapping" from one image ot another ? I purchased lots of maps on dmguilds and other places which are the same of the official one from Wizards, but as on recent module they switched to poor black and white maps, I moved to something colorful. Ratio is the same, map is the same, there's just color etc. so ideally, a way to copy a line of sight mapping from one image to another one would be awesome.
I saw lots of options in image editing in FGU, but didn't manage to do such thing

is it possible somehow ?

thanks !

Reading through the posts, I saw link to that video:

Is it something I should digg into to achieve what I need ? to kind of extract the right part in the xml and paste it back to the images i purchased to put the line of sight over ?
thanks in advance for your help

Your problem is that you won’t be able to access the xml files.

You could try just adding your map to another layer with the original. If the maps are identical then the LOS might work. Note that maps in modules will not have the same dimensions as the original maps from WotC.

Thanks a thousand time for the idea, I managed to find how to add this as a layer and in a matter of seconds, was able to set the map above the existing one in the module to generate the right result.
Excellent thanks a lot !

Attachment 34286

So, we've used FGU for two play sessions. We've moved over from Roll20, and I personally (as DM) love it, which is good, because it's expensive! Anyway, my question is, how do I make a custom background for a 4k monitor that doesn't get tiled? Is that possible? I found the background theme maker, but any images over 1920 horizontal resolution get tiled in weird ways. I can live with the current background, but having a background that didn't tile would be great.

Backgrounds are always tiled, because they need to cover the whole screen at many different resolutions. They use the 9-slice approach to specifying tiling.

You should probably look into making a decal extension if you just want to add a background image without having to worry about slicing or tiling.

The decal extension was just the ticket. Thank you.

Are tokens on gridded maps strictly limited the maximum size of Gargantuan (20x20ft.) Is there a way to scale them larger but still use a grid? I have watched several FGC videos that show unlocking scale on tokens but this does not appear to be available in FGU. Would this be part of the future token locking feature?

Mouse over the token and whilst holding CTRL use the middle mouse button to make the token as large as you want.

And welcome to FG
