[1.4] Maps only posting as tokens

Post by Farland »

So I create a new map, select the background layer, and drop a map on it. It automatically comes out as a token and is only the size of one grid space. I have to right click it, select change to background, and then resize it to free size. I am definitely on the background layer when I initially put the map on but MT doesn't seem to know that.

I can't seem to replicate the problem.

However, if you are dropping a map into the background layer, have you tried editing the map properties and selecting the map via the "Map" button?

I can't duplicate the problem either, but if I'm on the token layer of a map then select the drawing tools and select the background layer then drop an image on the map, it goes to the token layer.

The map and draw tools use the same selection tool for the layers, but are actually different.
