You can use tokens for mapping as they are now - the two key things are to turn off token auto sizing and to make sure your tokens are using the same pixels-per-grid-square size. For example, if you have a token that covers 6x6 squares and is 300x300 pixels, then use 50 pixels per square for other tokens: 200x200 for 4x4, 100x50 for 2x1, etc.. This will allow you to use the FG token scaling on each map to match to the grid. See the third paragraph in the "Scaling" section here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/...Tokens#Scaling
Then you can do stuff like what's shown in this post: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...l=1#post168266Private Messages: My inbox is forever filling up with PMs. Please don't send me PMs unless they are actually private/personal messages.

I doubt they will introduce a new token sizing feature specifically for mapping when they are building out mapping features like this:

First of all, I'd like to thank you the great work and the huge effort you made.
I'd like to ask some help by the way. I found your ext yesterday and immediatelly I tried to use.
Despite fact that I updated my FG to 3.3.7 and downloaded the new Enhanced Images (layers for FG 3 CoreRPG+), I keep getting the incompatibility message
Script Error: [string "scripts/manager_versionchk.lua"]:23: VERSION :3.3.7 is not supported for Advanced Kombat UNKNOWN, it is only supported for 3.3.6 use at your own risk!
Furthermore, when a PC or an NPC dies a blood splash appears as it should, but as I heal or remove the token the splash remains and I'm not able to remove it from the map
In case of an NPC death the red skull icon appears, but if it happens to PC a yellow warning mark comes up
Additionally the size of the effect icons cannot be changed, the are more than 1/4 of the character token even if I change their size to tiny

I'm sure I made a mistake, but I just can't find out where. Please if you have any idea don't hesitate to share it
Thank you in advance

It seems you are using both advanced
Kombat extension and combat enhancer. Don’t use the advanced Kombat, use only the Combat Enhancer.

Well, I've been using the new extension with both Curse of Strahd and soon to start DotMM, my CoS game last night was brilliant with the right blood splatter size directly on a never before used map. The sizing issue (see previous posts) for me seems to be the very first time I create a campaign and use a map for the first time. Once sorted with token scale, it works a dream.
By the way, the coolest feature for me is the visual cue of success/fail saving throws on area effect spells. So easy now to see quickly which tokens are affected or not.

Thank you for your rapid response.
The situation has improved a lot.
Now I have tiny status icons, no error message.
I stoped the Enhanced Images (layers for FG 3 CoreRPG+ as well so "I can clean the floor" (with Enhanced Images (layers for FG 3 CoreRPG+ running i couldn't switch to the lowest layer)
The only issue remained is the strange death icon instead of the red skull on the PC when (s)he dies. I use the same location for the app and data folder (both C:\FG in the setting panel) and there was no \tokens\host\item folder, so I just made them and copy all the pics there. (the strange thing is that it is working properly on NPCs).
Do you have some advise tp solve it as well?
Thank you in advance
