Grid modifications for VTTs
🕑 Added 2022-08-18 21:34:15 +0000 UTCHello everyone ! After some fiddling, I recently found out Inkarnate exported at an uneven pixel range, meaning the grid does not align properly on VTTs such as Roll20 and Foundry. It doesn't matter much for outdoor maps and shouldn't trouble you if you use gridless versions. I was made aware that some of you had problem aligning certain maps properly so I took some time to readjust properly the most needed ones !
Castle Ravenloft is already readjusted for all Gridded HD variations. Krezk Abbey is also readjusted for both Free and Patrons' only posts. Note these grids are mainly 70x70 pixels for Roll20 usage but they of course work for Foundry too. Most new maps will be adjusted for VTTs. The process takes time though. Do not expect every map to be adjusted pixel perfect : I'll make sure to adjust maps where this is more needed (large dungeons and module maps for example).

Yup ! I managed to automatize everything in Gimp using a plugin that lets me resize and add grids to entier folders. It remains a pain nonetheless ahah ! For the image size, I found out that Roll20 uses 70x70 px for its squares and that free users cannot modify that from what I know. Thus, I aim for multiple of 70 to have it work for Roll20 as well as Foundry. For big square maps, 4200x4200 works quite well for example.

Yeah, the export out of Inkarnate is not even sadly. When I create Webp files for my maps, I also resize them so the PPI is even and folks can use them in Foundry. The main issue is Foundry can't use a fraction when setting the pixels per square so a 40x40 map exported at 4096 comes out to 102.4 PPI (Which does not work on Foundry). So if you resize to 4000 pixels square, you now have a nice clean 100 PPI :)
