Hex Kit: Desktop App

Hex Kit is a desktop application for building hex maps to be used with table top role playing games. Rather than being bogged down by complicated functions, Hex Kit is built to be intuitive and quick to use with an emphasis on art.

Features:

• Multi Platform: Hex Kit runs native on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
• Simple to Use: It has just the right tools you need to quickly put together a detailed map, as well as a few tools for displaying your map at the table.
• Detail Variation: No need to hand pick each tile as you build your map; pick a hex style and the software randomizes the selection as you click and drag across the canvas. Tiles can be rotated and flipped with just a few mouse clicks as well. If you find the painting too broad, you can also select individual tiles.
• Player Facing Display: Hex Kit has a display mode that shows your map in a separate window; drag it to a second screen or show it on a projector. You can hide parts of the map with fog of war and reveal the map as needed. Changes made in paint mode update in the display window in real time. Did your players burn that village down? Delete it from the map, and it's gone.
• Store Information: You can store a label with a description for each hex directly in the map.
• Custom Tiles: Hex Kit comes with a small selection of old school themed, black & white tiles that you can use to get started. You can create and import your own tiles, purchase and install official tile sets illustrated by CONE team members, install tile sets from 3rd parties, or even cobble together tiles made from images found around the internet!
• Export: Hex Kit will export your map as a PNG file that you can print or even use with a virtual table top.
• Random Maps: If you're in a hurry, or just want to goof off, you can generate a random map and then edit it to fit your needs. You can even save your generator to use again later.
• Internal API / Plugin Support: Hex Kit boasts in interal API; users willing to dig in to a little bit of JavaScript can create, run, and share plugins to get an extra mile out of Hex Kit.
• Support For Both Orientations: Hex Kit now supports tiles that either have points up or faces up.

Installation: Installing Hex Kit is easy: download the zip file or dmg and extract it wherever you want. All you have to do is open the executable and you'll be making maps in no time. When updating to a new version of Hex Kit, simply download the new version and override the old one.

NOTE 2: I cannot help you with bugs or issues on this page or in the comments section. To solve whatever problem you might have you will need to navigate to the CONE website and email me your issue along with your operating system and the version number of Hex Kit you are using, and a screenshot of the error. I apologize for this, but to make sure things go well we need to exchange things that DTRPG has disabled in the comments section.
