Hi Folks,
One more question for now if anyone is able to answer. I created a map in Fractal Terrains 3+ and exported the entire map to CC3+. When I load up in CC3+ I get the map detail in image 1 but would like to get the detail in image 2 instead. Anyone able to let me know what I'm doing wrong or what I am missing. Many thanks

Pick the_CC3+ Mike Schley export setting when exporting from CC3+. Or, if you have defined your own export setting, make sure to use the @Templates\CC3+ Mike Schley.FCW template file in the first page of the export settings.
Hi Monsen,
Sorry, not sure I understand. I did the export from Fractal terrains 3+ to CC3+ Using file/save campaign cartographer file and chose CC3+ Mike Schley. This is what gave me the image in image 1 when loaded into CC3+. Are you saying I have to now export image 1 from within CC3+ ?? Or did you mean when exporting to CC3+ (if so this was the result).
Many thanks
If that's the result of picking the Mike Schely option during export, then it looks like there is either something wrong with your export options, or the template file is missing.
Can you in the export dialog after picking the Schley export setting hit the Edit button instead of the Export World button. On the first page of the editor, make sure the template is set like this
Also, to confirm the file actually exists as well, hit the button with the three dots there, that should bring up a file open dialog that should show the available template files. Make sure the Mike Schley template is actually among the files shown here.
Hi Monsen,
It worked when I changed advanced to basic in the menu. Many thanks ;0)
I apologize for necroing this post. I just started using CC3+ and Fractal Terrains 3+, and in my ignorance, I altered the Mike Schley default export settings while experimenting.
Can someone post the Mike Schley settings for Fractal Terrains 3+ export to CC3+? I altered the climate selections and other checkboxes...
Following the steps in this thread got me closer to the original settings, but my oceans are a solid color and my landmasses don't look anything like the above screenshots.
I'm guessing the main issue is in these second and third screenshots..
Thanks for any assistance.
Part of your problem at least is all those contours.
The Mike Schley style isn't a style that relies on height contours, it uses symbols. So there wouldn't be appropriate fills for those contours which probably leads to all those solid filled areas.
I've attached my Mike Schley export settings to this post. I don't remember if I have modified it or not, but it seems to export an appropriate result for the Schley style anyway. Just unzip the archive and put the file inside in C:\ProgramData\Profantasy\FT35\Export overwriting the one there already
