Maps and Map Tools

When it's time to fight you might want to show your players a map. In Quest Portal you can easily upload your own maps or select from our library of premade maps.

Here's how you can get the most out of using maps and the available map tools.

Adding a new map

To add a new map you have two options: 1) Upload your own or 2) Select a premade map.

Uploading a map

To get a new map into your session you can upload it by dragging it onto your session screen or by creating a new scene.

Drag and drop a file to upload

You can upload a new map by dragging the file onto your session screen. It will show an option to upload as a token or a scene. Choose the upload a new scene option.

After the upload completes you will see the map in your scene deck on the left side of your screen.

We recommend editing the scene to add some music.

Creating a new scene from scratch

You can also add a map by creating a scene from scratch. Go into the Scenes tool. This will open the scene gallery with all the premade scenes. There you can create a new scene.

You can drag and drop your files into the big box at the top if you want to play with your own maps, or click the box to open options to select a premade visual.

Once the upload is done you will see the preview image. From this screen you can also add soundtracks to the scene and write a description. You can even upload multiple files if you want to have variants of the map (for example a day vs. night version).

From the session screen you will see tools at the top of the screen that we call Map tools.
