    To prevent the tile repetition on rotation in tile scroll, simply set the Texture Repeat to 0 (this is also mentioned in the wiki page)
  • @Bondanalloy
    for the ship easy enough to cut out a png of the ship and layer it as a tile. great stuff as always!
  • Another tremendous video! Thank you - I've been using some of these techniques already, however, I really appreciate the explanation on how the different wall types work for the purpose of the water effect (something I've always struggled understanding) I also appreciate the recap of the things mentioned at the end of the video. Looking forward to more awesome content, congrats on the partnership!

    Love your videos my man. Just bought Foundry and thinking about buying dungeondraft also. Your videos are an amazing how to get along with. Wish you well.

    Tip for scaling tiles: if you hold alt (or option on mac) while dragging the scale it will lock the aspect ratio
  • @jamesnunn8435
    Brilliant video 👍 thanks a bunch. You're really clear and easy to listen to. SUBSCRIBED! 💪

    Hi this video was a tremendous help! Can i ask where can i get the horse carriage (and other horses and animal) asset? I can't find anything usful by searching (oc im trying to avoid spending money already put a lot of money into vtt)
  • @theneversquid
    I'd love to do stuff like this but any somewhat larger map just takes so long to load already, I'd be very scared of how slow it would load if I add stuff like this. Very very cool though.
  • @jeanlaplante5972
    Love your videos. Your name sounds like foundue in French ! :D
  • @mattd4698
    Could I ask a question: I've been using Foundry VTT for a while now and added nearly 100 add-on modules. But I KNOW that many of those have had their functionality replaced by others and some of them I've stopped using. Given the large numbers of them I have installed, is there a way to tell which of these mods are actually being ACTIVELY used in my game? I could turn them ALL off and try out the game world and see if I lose any functionality, but that would be a tedious process to run (and I have more than 3-4 Game Worlds that I DM). Surely there has to be a better way?

    Hey, if i drag and drop the animated tiles like in 5:50, it just shows the camara logo on the map. What is wrong?
