TableMap - Display FoundryVTT upon your table with embedded screen!
Simply create a placeholder user with a placeholder character, give the user 'Observer' permissions for all characters that you want the table map to see.
Then assign that user in settings, input the diagoal size of your display and away you go!
Checkout the hotkeys for more information on use.
Settings
Display User
User that will have UI hidden and map automatically scaled. Ensure they have a placeholder character and have 'Observer' permissions for all player characters
Diagonal size of display
Input number in inches. (Used with screen resolution to calculate correct canvas scale, so each map square will be 1 inch)
Custom DPI override
Force a custom DPI override for scale calculation, if you do not want the module to calculate the DPI (or it's calculating incorrectly)
