    Hello, I hate to be a bother, but I need some help resizing this damn image to grid up correctly, can someone give me a hand with this and tell me how they did it? Thanks in advance!

    edit: I would like the squares to be 35 pixels wide, if possible.

    It can't resize properly because the squares aren't square. But you can probably get close enough.

    Two things that help a lot for importing maps in general are resizing to 250% and using a grid size of about 70-75.

    Going from memory of doing this a month ago, I actually split it into two maps. Then I resized to 250% in Paint. Imported in d20pro and got grid size to about 72-74. Center of playing area I could match pretty well but it got off grid the further out from there. I turned OFF the grid on the map and called it done.

    On some maps that I run into this problem with, I will stretch to 250% in one direction and experiment with 245-255% or so in the other direction. This usually gets me right on the mark.

    The map won't import into d20pro, gives an error message. I DID follow the user guide, but STILL could not get it to work. I appreciate the help though.

    To import a d20Pro exported file map:
    1) Unzip the file
    - should have a file named "WeBeGoblinsShip.d20_map"
    2) Load d20Pro, open the Library Window, click on Map Library, click on the "Import" button on the bottom of the Map Library Window. Then select the file "WeBeGoblinsShip.d20_map"
    - this point d20Pro should recognize the map and ask if you wish to open the map.

    Is this what you tried when importing the map? If you restarted d20Pro and try again does it work? If you are continuing to receive the error, can you outline the process you used and take a screenshot?
