1 - Yes. But you need to import the relevant fill styles into the map. See this faq entry
2 - No. The software doesn't have that feature.
3 - I don't really understand. The icons you show in the image are already in one row. But generally, you can do whatever you want with them by editing the menu files
ok, so can i make it so that this structure button opens up all the structures i have?
if so how.
Basically, I think that you'd "just" need to create a new symbol catalogue containing all the structure symbols, and a new map template, where that catalogue was the default.
I don't understand why you'd want to gather every single catalogue together like that though, certainly if you have many.
If you want a symbol from another catalogue you can click Open Symbol Catalog
The button can easily do that already, all you need to do is to change the master filter to an asterisk.
Just right click Symbol Style Toggle
and pick master filter settings. Set the active filter to an asterisk (*). Now when you click the button, it will show all the structure symbol catalogs.
Note that you can save the modified master filter if you wish, but I strongly recommend NOT saving it over the existing ones. There isn't a reset to default button, so you can't get them back without reinstalling or manually changing them back.
If you save as your own filter, you can load this automatically from the map load macro (OnOpenMacro map note) if you wish to have this behavior always with your map.
Note that this gives you easy access to all the individual symbol catalogs for structures. If you want all the symbols in the symbol catalog at once, you need to do as Raiko says, make one big monster catalog containing everything.
ok, how do i merge the catalogues?
Create a new symbol catalog using the new map wizard, then from the symbol manager, hit the import button, and pick the catalog to import. Do this for each catalog you wish to import into your custom catalog. After importing all the catalogs, select all the symbols in symbol manager and hit the save as catalog button. Now you can open this custom catalog in your map just as any other symbol catalog.
thanks, i think i got it working.
Yup. Once I have a set of village symbols I like for a particular nation in my game world, I save the symbols in that maps to a sybol set and name it appropriately.
When I next want to map a village in that nation, I load that symbol set. same for city and overland maps.
Oh! Sweet! The command of the week about modifying the menu is exactly what I was searching for! A while ago I asked about putting the shortcut into the tooltip. This should be manageable with this!
Thanks for the Info! :)
