Dark Quest 2: Tutorial guide for the Editor
By knolle and 1 collaborators
This guide contains some videos to show how to work with the editor. In the first part I tried to illustrate the main steps for creating a small dungeon to show the basic functions of the editor. The other videos deal with specific themes like traps, triggers and character tests.

I wish you a lot of fun trying out the editor!

The creation of the "Tutorial map for the Editor Guide"
These six videos will show you the creation of the small dungeon "Tutorial map for the Editor Guide" step by step. There are some passages that took a little longer (e.g. placing walls). Feel free to skip them if you already know how each step works or just increase the speed of the video.

The map can be found in the Workshop:

You have created a map with the editor and now you want to share it with the community? Then you will find an explanation here how this works.

First you have to create and save a map. You should have seen how this works in the videos above.

In the editor you have to open the menu. There you click on Steamworks. A new window appears where you have to click on "Create Map" on the left side.



In the list on the left side appears unamed now. Click on it and fill in all required information on the right side. Title and Description should be self-explanatory. Must have completed quest is interesting if you want to create your own campaign. For Image and Map, you just have to select the files on your computer. The last thing you have to set is who should have access to the map. With Available to "everyone" you share your map with the whole community. Once you have filled in all the required information, click on Upload to Steamworks.



In this next window you can write something like "upload" if you want to, but it is not necessary. With a click on Update your map will be published, with Cancel you return to the menu.

I'll share what I find. Thanks!

That doesn't sound right and I have no idea what the problem is. I think the easiest solution is to write an email to the developer: info@brainseal.com or ask in the forum.

I'm sorry that I can't help you. But if you find a solution, I'd be happy to hear it.

I've never been able to save in the Editor. I even tried saving just an open grid just now with nothing else added. When I click Save, nothing happens other than the button registering the input by changing color. I have some other options I want to try though.

Good luck! If you still have problems, just let me know.

Thanks! I'll keep playing with it. :dqpotion:

Thank you for the kind words.

I don't think it's a Mac problem if everything else works. I had the problem when I did something wrong, for example, when I tried to use triggers "creatively". Or made incorrect settings and connections. In one case, I used quotation marks in a map in a conversation and that caused problems. Sometimes I also have the feeling that the editor has a "hiccup".

Check and place all triggers, all connections and conversations and so on again. If you can, try to undo the last steps to the point where you could save.

I hope this helps you and keep my fingers crossed!

Thank you very much for the guide! It is much appreciated.

I was able to complete a map, but I have been unable to save it. Clicking the Save button allows me to see the button activated, but nothing happens.

I feel like I am missing something very simple.

I am currently using a Mac. Is the editor for PC only?

Thanks.

Hey mifaber,

as far as I know it is not possible to teleport a monster with that. The only way I know is to combine the "teleport trigger" with an arrow to teleport a hero.

Hi Knolle can you explain the "teleport trigger" I try for quite a while know to teleport a monster or hero to another place in the same room... and I dont know how to make it work.
thx in advance
