Morrus that's great. If you make future maps available for download in a zip could you include that data as a text file in the zip?

Yeah, either that or we might create a master list here on the forums. Brian suggested we include the info *on* the map, but I feel that might be jarring to the people who don't use Map Tools.
 


Is anyone else getting weird results with these? @OnlineDM ?

The coaltongue map I extracted from IaAoW seems to be approx 21pps.

The hedge maze map from the IaAoW appears to be about 19pps. The copy I took from Morrus' battlemap preview thread appears to be approx 35 pps, but neither of them are 37.

I'm dropping the maps in MS Paint to do my measurements. Are my numbers being screwed up somehow?
 


I just did the Coaltongue (the DM version from page 49 - the 52nd page of the PDF) and it was at a scale of 28.875 pixels per inch. The total image size from top to bottom was originally 1955 pixels, so I resized it to 3385 pixels, and it works great at the 50 pixel scale in MapTool.

You can download my resized version here for testing if you like.

Edit: Whoops. I just realized that the image is not square! I resized it correctly top to bottom, but it's not right left to right. Give me a minute.
 

I'm not quite sure what happened, but in the end I think things worked out.

The original image was 1355 pixels wide by 1955 pixels tall. I had to resize it to 2349 by 3385. I must have messed something up with the first resizing, but it seems okay now.

It was originally at a scale of 28.84 pixels per square (well, I get 28.84 PPS wide by 28.88 PPS tall). The rescaled version (available here) is resized to 50 PPS. But it took me a few tries.
 

But why the difference between 28-odd and the 37 Morrus suggested? I assume there's some compression in the image in the PDF?

Can you try the hedge maze map that Morrus posted in the preview thread and see if you get 37? I get 34.7
