Roll20 Compaitable?

[willy]

Hey, I am having trouble getting my plan onto roll20, can somebody help me? I am saving my plan to my PC, then trying to upload it onto Roll20, but it doesn't seem to be working. Any ideas?

1. Make sure you are uploading a PNG/JPEG to Roll20.
2. Roll20 has a maximum filesize of 5 MB for images you upload to them, and a total upload limit of 100 MB across images and audio. Make sure your image is under 5 MB or else it will just fail without any kind of notification. If your file is too big, use an image compressor, there are plenty of them online that will let you upload your image, compress them on the site, and download the new version.

The limit is actually 10 mb for the map, if this is what is tripping you up, you can make the file size smaller by choosing "map settings", the light tab, and then "draw all walls as black", and turn the grid off. If you are having a different issue I may be able to help you there too.

Click "new dungeon", make the map 25x25 (Roll20 default)
Make your map
Save as JPG
Open Roll20
On left side click the cube icon then click "map and background"
Drag and drop your map onto Roll20
Adjust the map so that it fills the Roll20 background
Done! Just be sure to click the cube again and click "Objects and tokens" to place tokens.

You can also just export your file as a png or jpg, and then load it in any freeware image viewing/manipulating software and convert its size directly. Several of my larger maps need to be resized heavily. Using Irfanview (freeware, you can Google it), you can just hit Ctrl-R, and set a percentage size to shrink the image until you get to under 10 mb.
