Custom Level Creation - need advice

Postby FainFlynn » March 2nd, 2015, 3:31 pm

Howdy guys!

I'm interested in creating my own levels, but don't have the first clue in how to generate my own map and insert all the icons for things like furniture, etc.

Does anyone have advice on the most efficient way to create new levels on a PC, to then print out and play?

Thanks!
FainFlynn

Hey FainFlynn!

This program is amazing, and has everything you'll need:

http://www.heroscribe.org/heroquest.html

If you run into any trouble, there is support on the site in the form of an FAQ, and you can search the forum, too.

Happy Questmaking! |_P

If you're using HeroScribe, I would be remiss if I didn't mention all the icon packs Derfel has available on the HeroScribe site. Getting everything to work properly has been described by multiple forum members as a pain, but if you figure it out you gain access to a very versatile system, with literally over 1000 more icons to choose from.

I had to try twice for the icon packs. It was just a matter of moving the files correctly and getting them in the right spot
