FAQ This pinned comment is going to have answers to any commonly asked questions. Also check out the Dungeondraft discord server to report bugs and get more info: discord.gg/6Ak9sZQ Q) WHY DOES MY MAP EXPORT WITH WHITE LINES AROUND THE WALLS? A) This is a known bug. For now, place small objects around the map on the 200 user layer, this will clear the white lines of nearby walls.

DungeonDraft single handedly made me want to no longer DM in person and do it all virtual despite my whole group being local, lol.

One of my players actually gifted me a copy so I'm excited to get creating! Thanks for the video!

I was thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis close to buying DPS, that lighting feature sold me frankly

When I bought this software a few hours ago, I was not expecting it to be THIS good.... we really live in a spoiled time with amazing tools like these haha

Just bought Dungeondraft and after watching your video I can't wait to create a thousand different versions of my maps! Amazing guide!

So i was curious about the Dungeon Draft, on the fence about buying in. Well, you sold me once you pointed out that it can be exported for roll20. thank you for the in depth video

Thanks for making this. Love the program so every bit of help is appreciated.

Just got this and am working on maps for the Out of the Abyss module for some players, and its a pleasure and I love this system!

An excellent example of a much-reused map would be a "Crossroads Inn", pretty much just a '4-way' intersection, but to change the season, lighting, etc very easily this same map could be used for so many different encounters :o)

So glad you made this! Makes working the program so much easier

Brilliant video dude. I bought it and couldn't really get started, but this laid out how the tools worked perfectly!

You are a life saver my friend. I just downloaded this App and was lost. Thank you

Thanks for this tutorial. Im going to subscribe now. You basically convinced me to buy this program

Very much appreciated, great guide for getting me started and comfortable with the UI quickly, really well explained!

Excellent tutorial.

Well presented Icarus. Liked, New Sub, and sold the product by the end.

Thanks man, Ive finally put my hands on this program, and with your tutorial the only stuff I wished was a lot of time to prepare all thoose little maps for campaigns I run XD

Very helpful and well presented. I just purchased DungeonDraft and you made it very easy to get started. Thanks.

This is a big help. I bought it the moment it was released (Wonderdraft is amazing and I knew this would be too), but I've been sitting on it while the bugs got worked out and waiting for my life to calm down. This will speed up my engagement a lot. If you're taking suggestions, I'm interested in learning how make shadows and if it's possible to create hills/elevation in outdoor maps. Thank you again! Keep up the excellent content.

Quick headsup, this video was so useful for me (along with the review which had to scatter terrain), I had to switch to VTT with the lockdown and was struggling to find free or ungridded maps. This looks perfect, right down to the hand drawn dyson esque style to just throw down my own. The one and done price is much more attractive than a subscription service. These guys should definately have you on commision. Looking foward to the boat video (anychance you can show us how to convert it into an eberron airship)

Freakin awesome - thanks for saving this noob so much time finding my way around DD. Keep up thee good work.

This is excellent! I was trying to figure out what tool to get and you sold me - this is exactly what I am looking for but on steroids. Any you show how flipping easy it is.

As always, you've made a great video, Anto! I love the new intro. It's pretty cool!

Thank you so much for the video. I was waiting for this actually to delve into it.

Holy crap, I didn't realize it was this good! You might have just sold me on this program :p

Fantastic job, this software is incredible, and works flawlessly with roll 20, I can now make my own maps instead of aligning grids from google images and hoping it doesn't look too pixelated

thanks for the video, i've bought Mapforge witch is a total mess, full of bug reported 2 years ago and none fixed at all, i was looking for a good programm for editing map and dungeon, so i've also taken Wondercraft because of your video, thanks !

This was an incredibly invaluable tutorial. Thank you for making this!

I have to say there is a lot of map making power in this program considering the $20 price! I just purchased about 3/4 of the way through your video and I’m gonna give it a shot. I’ve been struggling with other programs with a steep learning curve. Dungeondraft looks like the ticket. I’m gonna give it a try and I plan to come back and let you know how it went. Great video. Thank you

Been looking for a dungeon map maker and found your previous video. I've used Wonderdraft to create my campaign setting last year. I just picked this up the other day. Absolutely love it! Yeah it has some bugs and crashes on me occasionally. Just remember to save often. But still, it does soo much! Can't wait to start printing my dungeons at 11x17 and showing them to my group! Oh, and thanks for the videos.

Fantastic video! Can't wait for future vids.

Thanks for making this whole series of Wonderdraft/Dungeondraft vids. I recently got Wonderdraft and am about to get Dungeondraft because of them! As someone who primarily runs his games over Roll20, have you had much experience deciding between the lightning features on this program vs. the dynamic lighting of Roll20? Or do they work well together?

This was really what I needed! And cool new intro btw!

Great tutorial! I was following along with DD open.

This was a huge help, thanks!

Love the video quality overhaul 🙌🏻

Just went from a 'nice-to-have' to a 'must have' for GMs. When I think of the hours spent in Photoshop to get a look not even nearly as good.

There is a way to change if portal/doors will allow light or not. You need to select them with arrow tool.

thanks a lot!!!

it's funny how wonderdraft is moving from world maps to battle maps, while dungeon fog are simultaneously moving from battle maps to world maps.

Awesome! Thanks. Can we do "modern" map ?

how do you find the scale? i have players that can shoot to like 800ft and i want to give them oportunity to do so. but i fintd most tools wont allow for bigger maps

If this was already covered and I missed it I apologize but with being able to drag and click assets could that mean I could upload a ton of asset png files I've gotten from other sellers for use in dungeondraft or am I limited to their library only? Secondly, if I could get sizing and format down etc this it is possible to print these maps? Assuming I have the option to print it on multiple sheets of paper.

I bought a copy, but have no idea how to access it. Can anyone help? Got a receipt in email, but no idea where to go to redeem. Dumb noob question obviously!

Hello All, I am using this software to create a map for Traveler "Annic Nova" - and yes i can crate space ship as well :) how ever do you know is there is a easy way to hide par of the map? the idea is that I would like to run the game on a TV screen but I do not want my player to see the all map at first. Thanks all.

Looking the first part of the video: that river is pretty weird looking... ||| After: Son of a bitch, he made it work. Great map and video, thank you

There goes my free time. This is the program I've been looking for and your Basics Tutorial video is on point at getting me started fast. I'm looking forward to getting started. I just bought Dungeondraft prior to watching the video. I stumbled across it in a credit article. Curious, My computer is not the newest and although very cool, the animated effects are a bit glitchy on my system. The river back is fine but I have random flashes of pixel trash throughout the rest of the map. A roll 20 user myself, I'm conscious of lag load. Is there a way to disable the animated effects? Keep in mind, this video is as far as I've delved and haven't imported anything into Roll20 yet.

Can you use the maps made in Dungeondraft and Wonderdraft in video game makers or is this specifically a tool for D&D? Dumb question I know. Seemingly, as long as you can import these images into the game make software you could use whatever you made in the aforementioned map makers.

Hi one and all just looking for a small bit of clarification, i have been dming for a while and just starting to make a homebrew came across you in releation to world building maps. My question is, we use a different table top gaming system to roll20 does it only export for that or is the export of roll20 just for all these types of software, and does it allow use of fog of war type pc movement where it would be able to be revealed as the pcs move through a dungeon or building during combat? Thank you to anyone who puts a response in advance :D

Is this program a native compiled binary executable or does it use shockwave/java or some other slow interpreter? Dungeon Painter Studio is shockwave based. It really slows down when a lot of objects are on the list. It's also a memory hog because I make large and detailed maps. It's good for what it is, but with large projects it's too slow and takes too much memory.

I think un-gridded and sepia is intended for providing players with a printed map.

Great Video! Do you know how to make invisible walls with objects over the top in order to create shadows?

@22:22 is the Roll20 export option still good for things like FoundryVTT?

awesome video Anto. was wondering if you use these maps on roll20? if so how to you import them? ive recently started making maps on dungeondraft and when i try and put them on roll20 it says the file size is too large. How do you deal with this problem?

I have maps I've made previously with an inferior tool (by the looks of it), but I put a lot of work into it, so I don't want to throw them out. Can you import images as blueprints/overlays so you can "paint over" them?

Hello! I want to make a small circular room inside a large circular room. How can I go about this?

When you do a ship map, can you show how to handle multiple floors for the party? I'm struggling with the best way to do handle 3 or 4 floors in a single map on roll20

So I bought this and I'm having a problem. It won't do floors and walls. I try to lay floors and no matter which pattern I choose, it comes out as just black space. It does the shape I choose, but just black, no floor pattern. Also when I try to place a door the entire map turns white. Everything disappears and it's just blank white. Hitting undo brings it all back though. All other objects show fine. Just not floors and walls. I updated my graphics driver. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong, or what I need to do, or if I just need a different computer?

Is there a fog of war option?

Excellent Video, thank you. I have one question, can this program import waypoints so that it can generate a map based on the waypoints? As an example, when I'm running around in a MMO I will often record waypoints and export those into a text file which I can then use in another program to generate a crude map. This would be great if DungeonDraft could do this to help save us a lot of work.

What are the measurements(max amount of tiles) to stay below the 5 mb upload restriction from roll20 after exporting?

Is the Mac version ready yet? I have Wonderdraft and it is awesome. Ready to make some dungeons...

A question I have is would this be useful for playing offline? I love the idea of designing maps and battlegrids but I prefer to play offline and in person with the group. I could most likely sneakily print things at work in colour so that is not a concern.

This is all very exciting I just tried to throw together a random dungeon but cant make secret walls / doors How do I do this?

I cannot export my maps.

finally made my first dungeondraft map, thank you so much. i.imgur.com/v7tsAPN.jpg

Ctl+zee??

Hi hi ! Nice Tutorial for rookies like me ! but ... why your version is 0.9.0.8 and mine (uptodate) at 0.9.0.4 ? :D

I'm a little disappointed that there is no Fantasy Grounds export option.

Awesome! Thanks. Can we do "modern" map ?
