Symbol set 2

DarkRaider · September 2008

I seem to be having problems with symbol set 2 in dungeon designer 3. It appears not to display the SS2B terrain bitmaps correctly in the program itself. In my explorer I can view these perfectly but not in CC3/DD3 itself. I'm running the program on a vista machine.

You say they don't display correctly. What exactly do you mean by that? Don't they display at all? Wrong colors? Poor resolution? Or are they not listed in the fill style box?

I'm having the same problem with all my Symbol Set 2 fills - none of them display at all. This is what I get when I click on floors, for example:

The outline for the fill is there, but the textures for all of them are set to blank. Ex:

I'm running on a Windows 7 machine. For installation, I followed the Vista instructions found here: http://www.profantasy.com/service/technical.asp?ID=67

It looks like you started a regular dungeon map, and not a SS2 one. The SS2 fill styles are only loaded into the appropriate maps, so if you start a map based on a SS2 template, you should have them available.
If you need them in a regular DD3 map, the simplest way is to first start a new SS2 map, save it. Then start a new DD3 map, and select Insert -> file, and then insert this SS2 map. This will insert all the fill styles belonging to the SS2 map. Then, you can press Ctrl+Z (Undo), to remove the map you just inserted. This will remove the map items, but the fill style will remain, allowing you to use them in the DD3 map....

Thanks again Monsen! I don't know what I'd do without you.
