I use Dungeondraft to build my battlemaps. This allows me to export at pretty much any size I desire by setting the PPI for the grid. I usually set it for 50 PPI. However, when I load the map into the forum through OTFBM, the grid is wrong, even though I use @c50 for the size. What am I doing wrong? I Just can't seem to get it to work. Either the grid is off by a huge margin, or by about half. I've tried setting the @c to different sizes to no avail.

I have dungeondraft. Let me take a look....

I think the problem isn't dungeondraft. It might be where it's hosted. The image might have been resized by your image provider.

I looked for a recent dungeondraft file.

Exported at 50PPI.

Set the image and the @c parameter (as you have)

[map]
https://otfbm.io

--Map size, cell size, and panning
/10x10/@c50

--Tokens
/j1-Harriet~r4g3w~
/a9-Perardua~58mfa
/b10-Varth~zgtst

--Background image
?bg=https://gpres.blob.core.windows.net/public/pit.jpg
[/map]


And it works.



Can I have a link to your hosted map and the map bbcode? Use a note if it contains things you'd rather the players not see.

Yes, it's what I thought. i.ibb.co has resized your image so the squares are only 16x16. I don't know anything about ibb.co, but that will make your maps a bit rubbish.

I checked the OtFBM discord and this is what they suggest:
