Dungeondraft Advanced Tutorial: Hacking Dungeondraft with Text Editor

Hey Everyone, Zephyr here with an advanced Dungeondraft tutorial on leveraging text editing for your maps. Using a utility like Notepad++, you can open up any Dungeondraft Map and edit the JSON directly to make powerful changes to your maps. Swap image paths, remove unwanted drop shadows, change color schemes with hex codes, and even add additional layers to a level for depth.

Text editing and keeping quality notes on your maps is one of the best ways to increase the speed with which you work in Dungeondraft, and allows for the rapid creation of radically different versions of your maps. I break down these techniques and show a practical example with The Tower from the Baileywiki Dungeondraft Archives. I hope you enjoy!
