nope, but I normally advise to drop them into the install location for FG so they are easy to find. ( or use the 'extensions' folder, or 'modules' folder depending on if you feel like they belong to the extension or the spell graphics module they configure for !! )Quote:

Ruleset: 5e
Extensions loaded:
B9 - Common Core
B9- Spell Tokens
Behavior: Tokens on a map only increase in size (never decrease) when resizing by holding ctrl + mouse wheel. The token always increases in size and will not decrease regardless of mouse wheel direction. When B9-Spell Tokes is not loaded tokens resize normally.
Actions taken:
- Deleted the the file from the Vault directory (e66f6712-eef4-11eb-8c52-0050562be458.dat)
- Deleted all files from Extensions folder and
- Forced redownload from Forge and DMSGuild
Result: No change in behavior. Tokens on a map only increase in size (never decrease) when resizing by holding ctrl + mouse wheel. The token always increases in size and will not decrease regardless of mouse wheel direction. When B9 - Spell Tokes is not loaded tokens resize normally.
This issue popped up after an FGU update earlier in the year. The solution is fairly simple. Just grab the following extension from FGU. It allows you to assign a shortcut key to Scaling and Facing Directions for Tokens:Quote:

I have assigned ALT to scaling: i.e., ALT plus Mouse Wheel allows me to size Tokens up and down on any map with any other extensions running. B9 may have another solution, but this one solves the problem and is even a useful extension beyond this issue.
Interesting. My alt + Mouse Wheel changes elevation right now, but I'll grab this and see if I can make it all work.
Thank!
Sure. Let me know how it works for you.
Well done! Turns out just having it installed fixes the issue. Ctrl + mouse wheel does exactly what it's supposed to do. No changes needed, just install and go. Thanks for the suggestion!
FIX CONFIRMED!
Great. Glad it worked! Have a good campaign!
Yes since 4.3.3 release alt+mouse wheel is now a height amount on the map...Quote:

Just taken a look with the shortcut extension, while it looks like it works... it overrides the spell tokens special controls for <button>+wheel mouse actions... Like linked spells scaling with the player/npc token scale and the ability to fine/coarse rotate.Quote:

We should look into why I can not replicate the issue with the negative scaling you are having.
Thanks, Pete
