i seem to be having issues with levels 2 and 3 loading in. they just show up white, but if i turn off fxmaster then they are able to load in. are there any compatibility issues that may have cropped up?
Hello! I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing some issues with these files. I'm currently on the road traveling, and I'll only be able to take a look at it in the weekend. I hope that's not too late! I'll try to give you some solution by than. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
To make these files work with newer versions of the FXMaster module, I removed the default particles behavior from the scene files and instead included a macro file that you can import (using the same steps of the scene files, but inside, using a new macro inside the macros folder) and activate the underwater effect when desired by clicking it.
You just have to download the files again and import what you need. The macro file is included there also. Or, just copy and paste this into a new script macro:
Hi Franz, I'd love to buy your maps and help you as you deserve, but the stripe method only works for US credit cards. Here in Brazil we cannot buy using this method, do you mind enabling PayPal?
Love the map. Can't get the FVTT file to work. I'm using The Forge. I attempted to import the json like I normally do when creating a new scene but since the scene references a folder in the modules page (step 2) it fails. Is there a way for me to make this work without downloading the Foundry app, following the steps, importing to the Forge, exporting the Scene from the newly created Forge world and then reuploading it to the world(s) I actually want to use it in?
I stand by what I said, this map is wonderful. Getting it to import was a pain in the ass. I had to create a scene with a background image, then import the json into a separate scene, which wouldn't load properly but at least populated the walls, copy all walls, and then paste them back into the scene with background image and make adjustments to have everything line up.
The whole reason I supported the creator was to get access to the FVTT json and save myself the time of doing all the walls/lighting myself. I probably spent more time figuring out how to get the walls imported that than it would have taken me to just support the creator for the base background image and do the walls and lighting myself.
Again, the map is beautiful. I don't suggest shelling out for the FVTT files as they don't seem to be updated for 8.8 and won't save you time.
Hey! Sorry I was sick during the weekend so I'm replying just now (Monday morning for me).
I'm sorry to hear that you've had problems importing the files... It seems that something broke during the update for the 8.x version of Foundry. I'll investigate it and come back to you...
Hello! I exported the maps again from Foundry version 8.8 and it should be compatible now.
If you're using The Forge and don't have access to the your data dir, you can upload the webp files using the Tile Browser. Navigate to data/modules, create the folders (1.) like the tutorial says (2.) and upload the images (3.):
EDIT: Looks like The Forge doesn't let you create folders. If you're having this issue, see the reply bellow.
I know that you already have the files set up by now, but if you have trouble doing it using the steps above let me know.
Thanks for your support and sorry for the trouble.
edit: I'll do the same for the other maps that have foundry files next.
The screenshot you shared is what the tile browser looks like when running the local Foundry application. The above screenshot is what the tile browser looks like while using the Forge. Using the tile browser to create a folder in the modules directory doesn't work in the Forge as the create folder button doesn't exist there.
The updated json files do now function correctly but the background images still have to be manually uploaded to the assets library and manually set in scene configuration. Not hard to do. Thank you for addressing the json file issue and updating it to 8.8.
I was actually running through Amazon Web Services, not locally. But it sucks that The Forge doesn't let you create folders... I'm glad that you can at least upload them and set the dir manually.
There's actually a quick fix for this! If you go into Forge and get the relative path for the image, you can then go into the JSON files and update the path from '/modules/franzwarm/...' to whatever you have (e.g. 'worlds/ghosts-saltmarsh/...'). It took 1 minute after uploading my assets and worked like a charm.
Hmm there is not an actually empty version of it, but if you have Dungeondraft installed you can have access to the project files and change every single element as you wish!
Great maps. I want to upload them to Roll20, but the files seems to be in webp-format, which Roll20 do not recognize. The other maps I bought from you earlier were available in jpg-format. Am I doing something wrong?
Can you tell me a little bit more about the issue you're having? What browser are you using? I'm asking because I tested the files on Roll20 and they uploaded it with no problems on my end. Let me know so I can help you :)
ok, I think I know what is the problem. Instead of using the Upload button in your gallery, just drag and drop the image from the file explorer in your OS directly into your map grid in the browser.
I'm pretty sure this will fix it. I'll update the instructions. Thank you for the heads up!
Thanks a lot for a quick reply. And thanks for creating these excellent maps. I feel a little ashamed of how little I paid you for them. I think I will buy them again at a higher price :-). Please continue building maps.
I'm very pleased to know that you enjoyed the maps! Don't worry about buying them again... But you can save for the next one! I'm working on Tammeraut's Fate right now ;)
Hi there, Congrats for your awesome work! I would like to use it in a Unity project but I don't know all these file formats. Is it possible to use it in Unity. I also would like to pay for it if it works for me.
Thanks! Well, these files are intended to be used as a virtual tabletop RPG (D&D) supplement. These files are made to be used with those kinds of software.

Would it be possible to print these maps for use as a traditional tabletop map?
Hi, what pixel dimensions are the foundry map files? Thx
Hey! The dimensions of the maps are:
1st and 2nd Levels: 4900x6300 pixels
3rd Level: 5320x7840 pixels
Basically the same as the high resolution files but they use the .webp format.
Ok thanks for the quick reply, great maps
Is there a way to toss a few of these into a "shopping cart" and then give you $15 for the maps and source? Not fond of 3 transactions.

I hope this helps! Thank you for your support.

Thanks for the info, buddy!! ❤
Holy moly. your maps are outstanding!
Will you be making the "Emperor of the Waves" and "Abbey Isle"? :D
Thank you!
I'm releasing Tammeraut's this week, and after that I plan to comeback to make The Salvage Operation next!
Cool! Also the "empty version" of the Sea Ghost is it in the "premium pack"?
Hmm there is not an actually empty version of it, but if you have Dungeondraft installed you can have access to the project files and change every single element as you wish!
*edit: source files come with a tip of $5+ :)
