FAQ

Can I use the maps for commercial purposes?

Yes, the maps you create with Illwinter's Floorplan Generator are yours. You can sell them, use them in a commercial game or just print them.

Yes, that works fine.

How do I collapse all the icon/terrain categories?

Press 'h'

How do I find out about all keyboard shortcuts?

How do I create my own random dungeon schemes?

Here is a short you-tube tutorial that might help you (Btw, the strange aiming bug in the video was fixed a long time ago.) :

(Mac) Can I continue to run IFG on my old intel mac?

It is still possible to run IFG if you have an older intel Mac. You can either continue to use the old legacy version which runs on intel macs or you can use wine/crossover to run the latest version.

----- Run old version: -----
In steam, right click IFG and then properties / betas
Opt in to legacy private beta in steam

Please add an explanation which letter symbolizes which texture in ASCII-mode.

[johan]

The manual has been updated now with ASCII import instructions.

[Philo667]

Awesome! Thx!

[Philo667]

I just checked the manual. Can't find the entry. It's still Revision 1.

[johan]

Sorry, forgot to upload it. Fixed in two minutes.

[johan]

Manual has been updated with information about modding and workshop. That will not work until next version (0.71).

[Jahzeel]

anyway to make a GM overlay to a level to put things like traps, secret doors, etc on while not altering the underlying player map and then be able to export both either at once or 1 at a time?

Want to be able to save 1 map file with essentially 2 layers to it

[danizen]

I see the new feature to include Roll20 dynamic lighting data in the export PNG, but I do not know what to do with it once I've exported it so that this works. Let me explain my roll20 process:

- Make map in this application
- Turn off Grid
- Export as PNG
- Upload into Roll20 image library
- Create new page in Roll20
- Resize page to correct height and width
- Drag PNG from library onto the map/background layer
- Resize image to 70x height and 70x width
- Reposition

So, I'm not having any trouble getting the image into roll 20; it's just that the dynamic lighting layer is empty, and I'm not sure what to do about that.

So, there is a file in the export directory that is text. Clearly, the intention is that you paste the file into roll20 in someway, but I tried pasting it into chat and it did not work.

[danizen]

Yes, it looks like this is the right approach - the text file includes commands that call the script written by The Aaron. This scripts require API support, which means I would need to increase my Roll20 subscriber level to use them.

[machdame]

so it means that the lighting would work as long as i have paid subscriber support then?

Your documentation for the Random Dungeons section would be improved greatly by a complete example; start to finish -- including using the saved "doer" file. I have the latest version 1.24 and all I have managed to create so far is a file which causes the application to crash. Error output below. Linux/Ubuntu 18.04 Nvidia GTX1080. The one delivered "doer" files I tried worked fine.

wt_oneil, did you watch the video in the first post? It makes a random dungeon from scratch.
