Thanks for this comment, it means a lot. Tutorials with a bunch of unrelated add-ons is a pet peeve of mine, so I try to avoid doing that.

That's a good point and definitely something to keep in mind.

Glad you enjoyed it. Good luck with your Foundry journey. If I don't have something Axium has a lot of great videos on Foundry

Thank you!

Thank you! I try to keep it short and sweet

Thanks! That's how I try to do it

Thank you! I appreciate your message. I try to make my videos with the viewer in mind. I'm still tying to get improve but I'm happy this helped.

@@DungeonMasterJosh This video and visual was what I needed to wrap my head around it. And will recommend your channel. Ever interested in P2e let me know.

@@jackeldridge4225 Thanks. I've considered things like P2e and I might give it a try at some point.

Thanks Erik, I appreciate the message. Let me know if there are any other videos you'd like to see.

Thanks!

😂 they are

I typically use the background layer for the setting (grass or whatever is outside) but in the video I only had the building so I only used the tiles. So I didn't use a foreground or background image (you can though). If you need any more clarification or have any other question please let me know. Thanks!

That's awesome, I love to hear it!

Unfortunately our last shipment never came and are almost out...

@@DungeonMasterJosh 😂. BTW does Dungeon Draft work for webm files? Like for animated maps? I'm trying to find something that will so I can use levels instead of changing scense

You can export as webm but I've never tried animated maps with it. Usually if I have an animation I just pull it in as a tile.

Yeah, I've struggled with this as well. The best way I have found to work around this is adjusting the opacity of the upper level so you can see that they're on a balcony or something.

Haha, that's the goal

The link moves you to the same video :/

Thanks for letting me know. Not sure how that got messed up but it's fixed now.

You can adjust the wall height to the first level and stack levels on top of your existing map, if you are using it as the ground floor. For other floors, you could copy and paste the walls and lights to the new scene with the levels, then adjust the wall height as needed.

It is indeed!

Sorry for taking so long to reply, I was adding a new member to the party, if you know what I mean. To fix that I would first look at the stairs to verify that they are setting characters to the correct elevation when they walk through. Mine have a height (Top) of 9, and height (Bottom) of 0. Thanks for the video suggestion. I have been thinking about doing a video on that topic, there is just a lot to it.

Haven't found a solution yet... this annoys me so much

I just read that from version 10 onward this function was deleted. We won't be able to do this anymore I fear.

I think they have updated it for V10 which is in testing at the moment.

I think I might know what it is, but I'm not 100%. When he made the map in Dungeondraft, his 2nd floor is "empty/transparent" where the 1st floor is, right? But at least for me, I've been using a map that has no "empt/transparency", instead it attempts to simulate the below having the same area again. Thus, it's opaque/the models can't be seen through. If that makes sense...?

You can go into the negatives, so your basement can be -1 down to -10(Or how ever big you want the basement). For the second question, I'm not sure I understand the issue. Is it pulling in the surrounding area as a grey grid?

@@DungeonMasterJosh Thank you for the reply. I found out that PNG or WBP are the ones that I need to use for transparent holes in my building instead of black. I think I just have to start over on my map. I just recently started learning DD and Foundry VTT. I've learned that I have to basically develop each level or building and then put it together in found. Last night I could not get stairs or transition to work for the life of me. I imagine poor level design on my part. I'm starting over and I will see if that plan work. Appreciate your short to the point videos.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I always like helping new people to DND or foundry.

I used the levels mod in this. I'm working on an updated version as this was for V9 of foundry and some things are little different in V10. MultiLevel tokens mod is very useful and what I use a lot of right now. You might want to check that one out.

i looked back at it because of the different ui in the newest version i missed the button thx

Yeah, pretty much. There isn't a great way to do things like stairs natively but with v10 you can do this without mods.

The first thing I would check is that the height (top) and height (Bottom) are set correctly. So on mine, the top is set to 19, and the bottom is set to 0

@@DungeonMasterJosh I think they are. Bottom one 0-9, top one 10-19. In fact if I move a token to the top side they will change their height to 10. Yet they will be visible from the bottom and change size 😂 thank you for looking into it :)

What I was saying is that the hole itself (on mine) is set from 19 (top) to 0 (bottom)

I don't know of a good way to do this with a premade map. You could use a teleporter (Like monks active tile) to teleport the tokens when they step on the stairs, that's the easiest way I know to handle premade maps.

@@DungeonMasterJosh I looked around a bit and I ended up using the module Multilevel Tokens by grandseiken. It does exactly what levels does here in your video only it doesn't require stacking anything so it works on premade maps where the levels are spread out over the map. It basically teleports tokens to a different spot on the map but ALSO, and this is the best part, allows you to clone the tokens on lower levels so that you can still see the other players moving around lower levels. It might be worth making a video about it for DMs who have opted to use maps made by mapmakers! :D I like the quality of your videos over some of the others I have watched.

@@KaraZypher I haven't heard of that one. I'll definitely check it out. Thanks for letting me know!

Some of the UI stuff has changed and I'm working on an update to that. I did just put out a simplified version here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p850aZCjkrC-hps.html

@@DungeonMasterJosh Thank you josh. I've seen the other video and that's much much easier. I have another question about the multi level sistem: does it work with the wall high mod? I'm fairly new to foundry so sorry if you find odd and stupid my question.

@@danieleceschia2713 your questions are not stupid and I don't mind. Unfortunately though, I haven't tried using it with the wall high mod so I'm not sure.

It's a tavern/inn, but it's from a specific adventure module.

@@DungeonMasterJosh Bluewater Inn from CoS?

That is correct!!! Well, I feel better about it now that someone was able to identify it haha

@@DungeonMasterJosh It looks great. Tell Urwin I said hi!

Haha. I appreciate it!

It is indeed 😁

Aw yis. I did the thing >:D

The Bluewater Inn

I'm not sure what that means lol

I somewhat agree, but it's the cheapest tool and with mods you can do more with it than some of the competitors. Foundry is just VERY dependent on the community and mods. I'm curious to see WotC's VTT. All the current ones leave a lot of room for improvement. With that said, Foundry is still my favorite as of right now.
