Version History

0.93.0: Starting Version
Hey everyone!
I’m beyond excited to share my first ever Foundry VTT module with you! This has been a long time coming, and I can't wait to hear your thoughts. Since this is my first release, I’d love your feedback (details below) as we continue refining and expanding support for my modules.
If all goes well, I plan to convert my back catalog soon, but I wanted to get this in your hands now for testing and iteration.
I've also attached a video guide covering installation and UI functionality—especially useful if you're new to Foundry like I am!
Installation & Dependencies
Here’s everything you need to get started:
Required Modules:
Monk's Active Tile Triggers
Tagger
Light/Sound Mask (also requires libWrapper)
Map UI Presets (install prompts when installing the map)
DM Andy’s Bits and Bobs (install prompts when installing the map)
Why Two Separate Modules for the UI?
Map UI Presets is a framework allowing other creators to use the UI.
Bits and Bobs contains my personal assets (logos, etc.), making it unique to my modules.

Feedback & Roadmap
I’d love to hear your thoughts on:
The UI – What tweaks would improve it for you as a DM?
Map Setup – Any functionality changes you'd like?
Current Limitations & Future Plans:
No "Levels" Support Yet – While I love the Levels module, adding it now would significantly delay releases as it will require more development/setup time. A Levels-compatible version is planned for later once I've updated my back catalog.
8K WebP Only (For Now) – My maps look best in 8K, and file sizes remain reasonable (4-6MB each). However, I’ll poll later to gauge interest in 4K versions for lower-end PCs.
Scene Settings – You'll need to manually set the weather & color mood per scene. We’re exploring ways to make this a one-click setting across all scenes.
Teleporters – By default, interior to exterior teleporting is disabled so you can manage mixed-location encounters. Toggle this in the UI to re-enable it.
Upcoming Features:
Levels Support – An optional Levels-enabled version.
SFX & Music – Partnering with Monument Studios for integrated ambient sounds and music.
Animated Maps – Water rippling, trees swaying, fires roaring, etc.
Custom Install UI – A streamlined mod selection menu for future installs (FOMOD-style).
No firm dates yet, but I’ll keep you posted!
Foundry Premium Content & Distribution
I'm working with Foundry to enable Premium Content delivery, allowing seamless installs directly within Foundry—no manifest URLs required!
However, WotC Fan Content Policy prevents certain maps (e.g., Castle Ravenloft, Church of Barovia) from being included in Foundry’s marketplace. Those will remain manifest URL installs only.
Final Thoughts
Foundry support has been highly requested, and I wanted to ensure I did it right rather than rush it. Huge thanks to Talanor for his skill, patience, and help bringing this vision to life!
And to you all—thank you for your continued support. Five years ago, I never imagined I'd be creating maps full-time. Because of you, I get to pour my heart and soul into this craft, helping DMs reduce prep time and create incredible adventures with your friends.
Looking forward to your thoughts!
Cheers,DM Andy
