and its difficult to tune it back in.So something I want to discuss today is a comparison between the D&D Dungeon Tile line of products, and Pathfinder Map Packs (And similar thin laminated map products). And there are sometimes when I forget and zoom out a little bit. I currently zoom in manually and try to set the grid to 1 inch in real life. (having the turn order or combat tracker show in another monitor lets me take advantage of most of the TV screen just for battle maps).Īnd that's the reason why im facing this problems now. The third one is a TV laying at the center of the table like the pics you linked from another trhead. The second monitor is hanging on a wall behind me and it only shows the Combat Tracker and turn order in a big screen for everyone to know their correspondant turns in combat. I have all the monsters and combat info right there when I need it). Its intended for a VTT not a regular TableTop, but Actually FG works great even when you are in a situation like this my current setup is something like:Ģ.- 2 monitors and 1 TV for battle maps and gridsģ.- the first monitor is for the DM (it runs an instance of FG exclusively for DM. I know that FG is not intended initially for this kind of stuff. It really looks nice and players love it, sisnce you can play and battle with the real maps without having to print everything. I began with all this TV setup too a while ago. As you say, you'll have to input the TV's viewable size and resolution somewhere, and then FG could do the rest.Yep.
I think most of the API calls needed by FG are available to do this. I'm not aware of anything like this, but it's an interesting idea (especially since I've now started using a TV laid flat on the table for games). So, if you are still using a standard HDTV (and not a 720 or a 4k), 1080px / 50px/in = 21.6" and 1920px / 50px/in = 38.4" and looking at the previously referenced link, that's a 44" TV. So, a 37" TV yields a battle map of only 18x32 squares and a 60" TV gives a 29x52.Īnother way to look at this is to reverse calculate the TV size for a typical resolution, 50px/square, map.
The biggest thing you will notice is that using a TV for mini's means you end up with relatively small battlemaps. So, if you scale your map at 60px/inch, which is 300px per 5ft square, you'll end up being able to display it at full resolution and have 1 inch squares on the display. So once you do the division, you know how many pixels you have to make your map so that when you do it full screen you end up with one inch squares. Then if you are using a HDTV and not a monitor, then you know you have 1920 x 1080 pixels. What you have to do is start out with your monitor size and ratio to get the X & Y dimensions (see link).
