to make a dungeon you will start a new map... for the entrance, you need to select a portal (scenario -> building -> portal) and place it on your map. take note of the EXACT location of the portal (the "ladder" portal on start Map is at 0.0.107.22)

then back out of the editor into the file it's stored in. open "assets" folder then edit the "portals. list" (I strongly recommend using noteoad++ for this. it's a free download and will work perfectly... other text editors like ms word do not work right and will cause you many headaches) anyway, edit that list by adding a line that has the location of the portal <tab> then location where you exit the portal (the one on start Map looks like this "0.0.107.22 100.100.49.53" because it takes you from the portal at 0.0.107.22 to the location 100.100.49.53. (that dungeon is then called 100.100) after that, close the editor and open it back up before trying portal. let me know if that makes sense ;)

remember to mind your language in public here ;)

Anyway, you can remove the portal by right clicking on it while holding <shift> key on keyboard
