VTT questions (Patreon)

Looking for some feedback.  Has anyone been experiencing trouble using the dungeon draft vtt formatted files in Foundry VTT?  I have been trying to offer VTT files with lights off or minimized as I realize most like to add the lighting in with their own software.  I also know that some VTT files have troubles with walls and doors being imported/recognized properly.

Any thoughts on how to improve the files and formats being offered will be considered.  Would WEBP formatted files be better than the VTT files?

Would love to hear from anyone who has an opinion.  As always, I am trying to give you the most bang for your buck (or two)!

I use Roll20 with an importer script for the VTT files and it works great. There's usually a little bit of clean-up I need to do, but it gets me 99% of the way there.

WEBP won't include all the walls/lighting stuff the VTT files have, would it? IIRC WEBP is just a hyper compressed image format (I've seen 5mb JPG/PNG files convert to WEBP at only a few hundred kb, speeding up loading times and reducing storage)

Sorry to Necro an old post, but I just wanted to drop in some feedback. I joined here because of the quality of the free maps I found you had posted on Reddit. Glad I did. There have been a couple noticeable wall issues, but they are minimal. Would much rather have the VTT files than WEBP as those wouldn't have the walls etc already built in and that is the key value for time saving maps. I'd rather change a door or two here and there than to have to wall everything. :)

It seems most prefer vtt. The wall issues - are they with the standard walls of a building or are they with the "invisible" walls we have to use to direct lighting?
