How to use the .dd2vtt files

On Roll20

You can use the dd2vtt files to generate all the metadata needed to create the walls in Roll20. You need a premium Roll20 account to be able to view dynamic lights.

Follow the instructions here to add the walls into Roll20.

BONUS: If you want to extract the image from the .dd2vtt files you can use the instructions here

On Fantasy Grounds

The current version of Fantasy Grounds supports importing dd2vtt files. Check this following video to see how - https://youtu.be/VoXe-sc2Uws?t=2553

On FoundryVTT

You need to install the Universal Battlemap Importer and then just enable the module in your world and then you will see a "Universal Battlemap Importer" button in your scenes. You need to select the dd2vtt file and the scene will be imported with walls and lights.

I recommend deleting all the lights and manually creating the lights as it suits you. The dd2vtt files are an export by Dungeondraft that handles lights in a different manner.

That's good to know! Thanks for the info, I'll update this guide.

Stan P

The Forge file is not compatible for version 11 of Foundry, is there an idea when that would be updated??

cthulhu_architect

Hello, my modules are made using V10 and I have plans to migrate to v11 soon, but as far as I know they should support v11 too. Can you give me more info on the error you are getting? Which module did you try to install? I posted a question on my discord to get some feedback from other users that use forge and I'll let you know when I get an answer.

cthulhu_architect

One more suggestion. Have you tried searching for my premium modules on Bazaar within forge? That's where you should be able to see the "Cthulhu Architect - Nyarlathotep Tier" module that includes all the maps.

cthulhu_architect

Hello again! I created an account on The Forge and I can immediately see the confusion. Some of my now deleted modules (Cthulhu Architect Map #01 - #24) are still available in the Marketplace although they shouldn't. I contacted the support of The Forge and asked them to remove them. If you link your patreon account with The Forge you should still be able to download my main module "Cthulhu Architect Maps - Nyarlathotep Tier". I will try to post an update today on this post with a guide on how to install my modules from the forge.

cthulhu_architect

I just updated the post with instructions on how to install my modules using The Forge Bazaar. You can find the links in the updated post above. Sorry for the inconvenience, I hope you enjoy the content!

О С

is it possible to download all PNG's (I mean all maps) on an archive or smth? And thank u for ur job man! It looks fantastic!

О С

thank u man. U r the best, really. Waiting for a new maps and ads.

Craeb

It says on my foundry that the subscription offers no content at this time. Will this change on it's own or is there something I need to do?

cthulhu_architect

Hello! The foundry modules are available on Great Cthulhu (3 EUR) and Nyarlathotep (5 EUR) tiers. On Yog-Sothoth Tier (2 EUR) you get access to all the PNG/WEBP/DD2VTT files.

Richard A. Spake

Howdy, have you thought about trying your hand at working up a couple of WW2 Submarines (a US and/or a U-Boat)?

cthulhu_architect

Hello! I will surely add those ideas to my backlog. Especially the u-boat may be pretty interesting! Thanks!

Richard A. Spake

kewl beans! i thought as much with how much Pulp-era materials that you've done!! :)

Erik Long

If I join does it allow these to use on roll20 or should I join on roll20?

cthulhu_architect

Hello! If you join you will get access to all the maps in PNG, WebP & dd2vtt format. You can then manually upload the maps and use them on Roll20 or any other VTT. The products available on Roll20 for sale are for people that don't want to mess with manually uploading the maps there.

Richard A. Spake

since you did such a bang-up job on the U-Boat, have you thought of doing a Boeing 314 Clipper? these Pulp-era materials are so damn good my friend.

cthulhu_architect

I will surely check it out and add the idea in our backlog! Thanks!

Killroy

Now these days you can also download the maps (and map tokens) to you computer when buying them in Roll20, but they are more expensive that way.

Chris

You are KILLIN IT with these. I'm running an 1880s game so they're a little late in terms of period, but who would know?

cthulhu_architect

Feel free to make some 1880s map requests and I will add them to my backlog. Maybe you will see some designed in the future.

matthew campbell

I'm hosting on forge. Will this work the same there?

cthulhu_architect

Yes, there are people using the forge and they use my modules just fine.

matthew campbell

I'm just a bit lost on how to use the manifest url, I installed the module but it only has the free maps.

cthulhu_architect

I just sent you a private message in order to solve those issues

Walter Mecham

So whenever I try to import the Manifest URL it tells me that it isn't valid Manifest file.

cthulhu_architect

Hello, If you are using the electron (local installation) FoundryVTT v0.8.9 and you are having problems downloading the Foundry Modules that I publish, please try the following to solve the problem. 1. Download again FoundryVTT v0.8.9 from official website (although same version, it includes a hotfix from FoundryVTT team) 2. Re-install FoundryVTT (no data will be lost) 3. The modules should now download/update just fine. The problem had to do with the way electron applications (such us FoundryVTT) deal with SSL. The FoundryVTT team have applied a hotfix to v0.8.9 which solves the problem. You just have to re-install that version. Please note that this problem happens only on local FoundryVTT installations (electron app). If you use Forge or self-host Foundry in a server then you will have no problem downloading/updating the modules.

cthulhu_architect

Hi there, is everything working for you after the FoundryVTT update?

John Quick

I use Fantasy Grounds,, any advice on if/how I can use these modules?

cthulhu_architect

Hello, if you are trying to get the Vehicles Vol.1 & Boats modules, I want to let you know that I updated those posts and added the png file downloads. This way you can use those tokens in a different VTT. About how to use the FoundryVTT modules (maps) on fantasy grounds, that's not possible, but you can import the dd2vtt files I provide on each map post. There is a tool that converts the dd2vtt files into the required data for Fantasygrounds to open the map with walls etc. The link for this tool is here - https://github.com/Imagix/uvtt2fgu - but you need to have python3 installed
