  4. Choose your map file
  5. Configure map settings:
    • Name - Display name for the map
    • Grid Size - Pixels per grid square
    • Grid Offset - X/Y offset if grid doesn’t align

UVTT Files

UVTT (Universal VTT) files from tools like Dungeondraft contain:

  • Map image
  • Grid configuration
  • Wall and door data for line of sight

When you upload a UVTT file, grid settings are imported automatically.

Image Files

For standard image files, you’ll need to:

  1. Determine the grid size (pixels per square)
  2. Measure or estimate from the image
  3. Adjust offset if the grid doesn’t start at (0,0)

Tips

  • Common grid sizes: 70px, 100px, 140px per square
  • Use UVTT files when available for best fog of war support
  • Name maps descriptively (e.g., “Goblin Cave - Entrance”, “Boss Chamber”)
