Is there a way to turn off the nag screens for Dungeonscrawl? I don't want it, will never use it. Go away.
The final irritation was the ad in the chat sidebar... in my theatre-of-the-mind space opera game, where we only use R20 for character sheets because 2d playing mats do not replicate 3d space combat very well. I don't want this product. The promos were "communicative" the first 20 times but now they're obnoxious. Let me plan my games in peace!
Hi Plural!
I think that chat box area is a dedicated spot to highlighting the latest upgrade or release. Eventually, the next new feature will replace the content of that spot. So if you could turn it off, you might also be turning off the next feature that you are interested in.
However, if you absolutely want to turn it off, and are comfortable using a CSS tool like Stylus, this style will suppress that box:
.message.news{
display:none;
}I wouldn't recommend it, though. You never know when important (to you) info will show up there.
Hi Kel - Gold's absolutely on the right track! I'm just writing with more explicit steps and a link to our Help Center doc that covers this and more! If you're looking to edit a previously connected map, the experience differs on whether you are a Dungeon Scrawl Subscriber or not. Here's the insight into both, and more screenshots to help you are in the document:
1) For Dungeon Scrawl subscribers, your connected maps will retain their connection meaning that you can continue to make edits after closing the tab or window. Simply re-open the map from the library interface on Dungeon Scrawl and new changes will be propagated to the Roll20 side as well as long as you keep your connection toggled on.
2) For Free Dungeon Scrawl users, you will need to use a modified version of the "Connecting an existing Dungeon Scrawl map"
This will reconnect the page to the reuploaded Dungeon Scrawl map so you can continue to make edits.

So far my only issue is editing a map on dungeon scrawl *after* closing the initial tab. So coming back to it later or changing it again another time seems impossible.
If I am overlooking a method to reopen the map to edit it for roll20, please let me know.
As is, it's a bit of a deal breaker as I need to be able to edit things as I realize I want or need something else.
I have mixed experiences with that Kel. Needs more playtesting.Method to pick-back-up editing your DS again and see it in Roll20 again:
Always use File > Save As... in Dungeonscrawl and save a .DS file on your hard drive.
You can later use File > OPEN > and reopen your saved .DS file, and then use Roll20 Connect to connect to another new Roll20 Page. In this way you can make new edits on your existing DS map, and see the DS changes in a new Roll20 page.
But can you re-connect it back to your existing Roll20Page? The Roll20 Page with the work you did on the Roll20 side of things (such as added tokens, PC's, NPC, monsters, furniture, Marketplace assets, drawings, Dynamic Lighting walls, explorer mode progress, Hide/Reveal mask, etc).
The DS does not stay Connected to your Roll20 Page if you ever close the DS.
But can you File>Open the DS file on the DS side, get the Connect code anew, and Connect it back to your existing Roll20 page?
I'll have to test this again some-more to be able to comment/describe or know if this is a limitation or feature of Roll20 Connect.

That would be the fix. I guess the real issue then is advertisement, as I didn't know this until this post. That's a key point and likely a big reason for anyone to subscribe to Dungeon Scrawl. May want to make that point a bit more obvious <3
Hello there
nowhere in my Roll20 do I see any sort of option to call, import or activate anything having to do with Dungeon Scrawl.
is there a setting or something that I need to make in Roll 20,
in the help it says:
On the R01120 Tabletop:
Create a new page using dropdown
and there is at least one point - the create a new page only has one option.. to add a map.. no other options.
can anybody help with this
B
I can help with this.
The DungeonScrawl connection only works on Roll20 Jumpgate.
It sounds like your game is probably in the classic / legacy Roll20 VTT (hey mine is too so I get it).
Note you can still make a Dungeonscrawl on www.Dungeonscrawl.com and use Export As PNG... then you can upload the PNG map into your Roll20.
We just don't have access to the "Roll20 Connect" feature where you see your DS drawing live-in-Roll20 page.

ahh ok, well then to advertise it as a " you got this option " is incorrect and basically false advertising..
the addition of "you need this additional beta test option to make it work" would be really nice.
I spent a few h, on this.... :(

I feel for ya, Baro.
To be fair I think that most of the Announcements have said you need Jumpgate but it is easy to overlook, and maybe you saw someplace that failed to mention that caveat.
Also, Jumpgate is out of Beta, and is now considered the new default Roll20, but we are allowed to continue using the old Classic roll20 for those who don't want to convert, or haven't decided to convert to Jumpgate yet. You can convert anytime. I didn't convert mine either, so I get it.
Last point, I've tested the Roll20 Connect, and I want to let you know that going to Dungeonscrawl website, make your map, and Export the PNG, is simply better anyway.
That's a shame about the wasted time, but I would strongly encourage you to just use Dungeonscrawl anyway, and upload your map to Roll20. It's pretty great and fairly powerful.

Of course, if you're going to spend more than a few minutes on each map, something like Dungeondraft may be more appropriate. OSR is nice I suppose, but some of us prefer colour. And shading. And diverse asset choices.
Soo, how EXACTLY is this supposed to work? There are NO BUTTONS for Dungeon Scrawl on the VTT. Yes, I am using Jumpgate.

In your Jumpgate game table, go to the Pages menu, click the purple Create Page button (it is now a drop-down menu with 2 buttons for Dungeonscrawl)
I put off trying Jumpgate for fear it would destroy so much of my work. I started a new campaign and a lot of the tools and interface improvements are actually improvements, but the map grid is crazy. It is oppressive. Completely dominates the map to the point of making the actual map almost invisible.

Hi Rick Z.,
Could you explain what you mean? Perhaps share some screenshots of what you mean by in Legacy vs Jumpgate?
I agree that the default opacity of the grid in Jumpgate is a bit ... aggressive, but you can control the opacity and color of the grid on the page settings menu:
