Put the dungeon folder in your favorite compression/archive file format (.zip, .rar, .7z, .tar .gz, etc).
Might want to explain the file path and that it is not the dat from exporting.

Funny, I never pictured you as the "busty" type, John. :D

Thanks for the heads up. I made it a bit more clear.

You know there is no minimum floor/room/submission size, you can make a gloating hallway if you choose to... make ppl walk through a zoo of slimes or something.
I'm in Brampton =D

As tempting as that sounds, I don't think I have the time nor energy to make a submission I would be proud of.

Shelve it all man shelve it all! take some time off and divert your attention to a tiny tiny dungeon. It'll clear the cobwebs.

Then can I get you to make recoloured versions of every monster then? I'm imagining like a quick visual refrence for monster progression, so for example a tier one slime that has only like 75 hp would be a light pink and an end game slime would be black and have 10000 hp. Just an example, we already have 30+ slimes to do that with, I more specifically want more colour variance for my mini ogres. I love them to bits! and that stone ogre was great.

I have a fantastic repository of free-to use textures that I could edit the textures with. (Gives the new texture more personality than just colouring it.)
I don't mind doing that for you, if you could just tell me more specifically what you need.
I'm getting the feeling you just want your ogres to be different colours. -I have a clean ogre texture you might like-

As for slime colours.. Ennh Slimes are very generic looking, so I prefer the textures to be more distinct.
One way I would go about handling stronger/weaker slimes is to scale them in the GMT.
Also, I would not be able to change the colour of a green_slime without losing the shadetex image.

Personally for my submission, I'm going for a jackie chan-esque vibe in the fight I'm crafting, or like a side scrolling beat 'em up. Just swarms of similar looking guys, in this case Ogres. So any and all visual variance is welcomed and appreciated.

Also Ogres are the closest to Goblins and Orcs we have, Which reminds me, Xanathar if you're reading this I need an ogre that would be classed as medium size!

@SpiderFighter: Well, you know... at the weekends and all... :p (j/k by the way!)

@HaunterV: Very tempting, I'll try to think of a solid theme for a floor. It would be awesome to put the GMT to good use myself and make some stuff!

I'm definitely in, although I think I'll wait a bit before picking a tier. My level can be easily modified to fit in anywhere, so I can use it to patch a hole in the progression if there is one.

Two notes about the entry and exit teleporters: First, I think they should be set to only affect the party, so we don't need to worry about extra monsters wandering in from other levels. Second, the submission email could specify the exact coordinates and facing where the party is supposed to appear when arriving from above or below. Sometimes that will be obvious, such as if the entry/exit teleporter is at the end of a cul-de-sac, but other times the right location may be less clear.
