HTML output to CC3+
Hello All,
I created a world in FT3 (v3.0.20) and exported it to multiple files (File => Export World => Multiple Files). I opted for 4 levels and each level was at 2 x 2 with image resolution at 600 (the default was 384).
So I opened up the main html page and drilled down to the following path:
file:///C:/Users/craigbert/Desktop/fractal_export4Layers/E003007.html
I assumed that I would then be able to open the equivalent file in the directory in CC3+, but instead all I get is the rivers layer.
So what is the "mapping" between the HTML file and the CC3+ file that I can open?
Thanks,
Craigbert

Thank you very much for your reply.
I am sure I am doing something wrong.
Attached is my source image.
Any thoughts about where I a going wrong?
Thanks.
I am not sure why it would look like that, the Basic 100 export setting should certainly provide some contours. Do you see the same results if you just do a regular File -> save campaign cartographer file (using the same export settings) instead of the multiple file export? Is it any different if you have your whole world visible vs zoomed in to that area? What happens in a different FT3 world using the same export setting? What happens if you try a different export setting, like basic 1000 contours or altitude high detail?
Lots of questions, but I am a bit unsure why this happens, so I want to try to narrow it down a bit.
Don't worry about all the questions ~ I am total n00b at using this tool. I have gone through some of the tutorials, but there is still so much that is not covered. That is in part why I think FT3 is wonderful! :)

No. Please see attached.
Here is some additional info:
Monsen asked "Is it any different if you have your whole world visible vs zoomed in to that area?"
Not 100% sure what you mean by that so I tried:
1) Running the export while I was zoomed into that area and I got nothing. It is just a blank white area.
2) Zooming into the area after it properly loads into CC3 and it worked fine.
Monsen asked "What happens in a different FT3 world using the same export setting?"
This will take me a little while to test. This was using a depth of "4" so it takes some time. I will let you know the end result.
Monsen asked "What happens if you try a different export setting, like basic 1000 contours or altitude high detail?"
I will try this and let you know.
Thanks again for your help!
Sometimes FT3 exports, when imported as a fcw file into CC3/CC3+, shows a small bit of the map.
Do note that I generally consider the multiple file export quite useless, because exporting the areas using fixed sizes just end up generating a lot artificial divisions. I prefer to export each area individually, and according to an artificial grid. And then proceed to map the interesting area in more detail, instead of a flat detail export of the whole world in chunks. But that still doesn't address the problem why the export was blank when zoomed in to an area and doing the export.
