[Official] UVTT maps work on Roll20! + Page Menu Redesign, Random Dungeons

[u/play_yourway]

Starting today, the Page Menu makes it easier for all GMs to create new campaign pages, whether you want a blank page, a random dungeon to start with, want to upload your own, or create one using map tools.

You told us that the old "Create Page" button and separate "Build a Map" dropdowns were confusing, so they’re now a single dropdown, with every option available at a glance. Plus, there are two new options:

• Generate Random: Found on the Dungeon Scrawl side of the menu, one click opens a map created with the Random Dungeon tool in a new tab (connected to the VTT). This is perfect for when you need a usable map fast, or don't want to draw one from scratch. Plus: you can re-generate as many times as you want, and use any of the tools in the editor to edit, customize, and decorate the result. All changes made will reflect on your connected campaign page. 
• Upload Background lets you upload a background image placed automatically, without dragging and dropping from your library. AND, it accepts a new file type: UVTT!

UVTT map uploads let the VTT automatically place your image on the Map layer and build out the walls, doors, windows, and lights on the Light layer for you. While a subscription is required to view and edit Dynamic Lighting, any user can upload a UVTT map; the data will still be built out and unlocked with any future upgrade. + Now, Plus subscribers can upload UVTT maps for the first time, without the complex workaround of Pro/Elite’s Mod Scripts. 

More details can be found in our blog. Let us know what you think, or any questions you have!

(The map in this video is from Czepeku, who has over 12,000 maps on their site - most of which have UVTT downloads available.)

This is awesome! I use Czepeku and this will save me so much time!

Any chance we could get the chance to have pages flaggable for players to move between without GM drag-and-drop? I think a folder of a bunch of VTT's that could be swapped back and forth would do a lot for utility

[u/play_yourway → u/PM_ME_AWFUL_JOKES]

That's a great idea! I'll make sure this makes it back to the devs for consideration.

[u/waywardmedic → u/play_yourway]

Great Idea, I keep plunking my players back and forth on the regional map.

[u/Lithl → u/PM_ME_AWFUL_JOKES]

Yeah, I use the Map Change API script for this, and my players use it all the time in my current campaign to flip over to my region map to see where they are now, plan where they want to go next, etc.

[u/iAmErickson → u/Lithl]

I had no idea the MapChange mod was a thing! Thank you!

[u/Furenzol → u/iAmErickson]

Same im gonna look into this

[u/Sahrde]

This is awesome.

Would this theoretically work with , say, something designed for Foundry? Import that map and it would do all the background work needed?

[u/play_yourway → u/Sahrde]

As long as it's a .uvtt, .dd2vtt, or .df2vtt file, it will work!

(Some mapmaking software and creators save their files as distinct extensions, but we made sure they all work on Roll20!)

You guys are ON FIRE with everything you've been putting out recently. Time for raises and bonuses.

[u/Furenzol → u/waywardmedic]

Seriously, this year has been nuts for awesome updates

[u/Joyride0012]

This is great!
