Is there an alternative to the Quest Vault ?
I've tried to find anything like that and failed.The only thing I've managed to find was Tileset plugin for Descent 2nd edition,but it was removed by FFG.I want the editor to have Quest Vault's functions + latest expansion support like CtR.
Any ideas ?
photoshop ?
Seems like a good idea.Do you have a package with tiles images or perhaps you would share a link with a fellow Overlord
You might be able to use Sadgit's fork of Vitezslav's D2E map generator to create the map images:
https://sadgit-hl.github.io/D2eMap-WoW/
You could then use the Quest Vault to create the text and page templates and then put them together with Photoshop?
It's much easier to use software such as Illustrator or InDesign for these tasks. Photoshop is not good at that.

just a side notice the right fork is
:
https://sadgit-hl.github.io/D2eMap/
the one with "-WoW" is for ... some testing .... 🤫
There are several forks that I am currently using:
https://sadgit-hl.github.io/D2eMap/
This includes all official components.
https://sadgit-hl.github.io/D2eMap2.0/
This includes custom heroes and classes, and a couple of corrections. It will the the official fork for play-by-forum games as soon as our community expansion is released.
https://sadgit-hl.github.io/D2eMap-WoW/
Is outdated (but still includes all map tiles).
To get back to the original topic, unfortunately, not really. The vault has the layout generation with headers for rules, monsters, etc and also the best map interface as far as creating pages similar to the quest guide. Additionally, it's format (when properly maintained) makes version updates/ map rearrangements trivial.
To do all that with other tools is a significant amount of work. Not impossible, but generally prohibitive.
The vault is a tool with great potential. It's disuse and abandonment bother me more than most issues about Descent.
