This is a realy great tool which I recently began using for my RPG sessions. I used it more as a dynamic map than a static map creator and found some functionalities which could be really helpful in an update if you would be willing to implement them. :)

1. Make light not go through walls. When i place a light source near a thin wall it illuminates the other side of it sometimes revealing a corridor or room which i did not want for the players to find that early. Right now I circumvent it by using map design that separates them more but it is problematic for small houses.
2. A fog of war. In some situations when we play it would be good for the players to be able to see what they have uncovered but leave the unseen part covered in the for. Right now i am placing Transparent lights on the map where they move to keep it revealed but the fog setting even on max has the issue i mentioned in point 1.
3. Add a player character object that could be moved around. Right now i am using the default enemy and setting the players as elites.
4. Make the enemy object respect the light level. When i place the enemies and shroud the map in a fog the enemies are immediately visible. Right now i solve this by keeping two separate maps from which one i access on my tablet through my browser.
5. Make it possible for objects to emit their own light. When a player lights a torch in a cave i have to move his enemy object and his light object to their destination separately which creates its own issues both with game as well switching between what i want to pick up at the time. Sometimes i end up with 3 light sources on the scene due to misclicks or forgetting to switch.
6. Make the enemies be able to have different colors.
7. Let the enemy note section in the upper left corner optional to display. I keep a sheet of paper on the side which keeps track of loot of the enemies or i utilize a second map on my tablet.

This is really a great tool and I hope you will continue to develop it. I fell in love with it and "bought" it on itch.io before sending this comment.

Keep safe and healthy during this hard time. Cheers!

Very interesting and useful app. Iam overly grateful to you for this utility!

How do I use it? I've downloaded it and it's in my files but it won't open the application. Do I need to compress it? It's currently just a file with a lot of parts.

I've noticed that after moving a map around, the export image function can sometimes render with the wrong map extents. That is, if a map is 17×33, it may render only 15×33. I have an example map showing the behavior, if it will aid debugging.

Additionally, while the PNG export clips incorrectly, the JPG export appears to export incorrectly, and add some empty black regions. Similar behavior is exhibited in the HTML version.

I'm in love with this app. I'm creting a lot of maps for my cyberpunk games. I hope to get some new features and more options for details. But it's amazing already!

Adore this tool!

A comment!
1) Can you please add a hand tool so we can drag the whole surface around? I find myself not able to navigate around the space without slowly zooming in and out

Salut,

Dans les exemples de maps je vois des icônes de potions et de coffres, je ne les trouves pas quand je crée moi même ma mpa, ou-est ce que je peux trouver ces icônes ? Et si je dois les importer , comme faire je n'ai rien trouver ! Merci

There are two notable lighting errors. Big furniture that's been graphically moved towards walls still affect lighting as if they were in their normal position, and there's an irritating grid overlay on all exported images with lighting.

Also, dirt/rocks/crates are practically unusable when placed against walls because they're rendered on top of them. It looks really bad, as if they were floating above the map.
