This guide will explain how to import your Dungeon Alchemist map in Foundry.

WARNING: because there were issues with the original Foundry export, which included the image data into the .json file, we have been required to change the import method temporarily.

Please follow the instructions below carefully.

4. Right click & configure

Now right-click on the same scene, and select "configure". Click on the file browse icon next to "Background Image", click on "choose file" and navigate to the .jpg or .mp4 file of the map.

Click "Select File" and "Save Changes". This will update the background image and should align the image with the imported walls and lighting.
