NEED HELP - FT PRO to COSMOGRAPHER PRO

Terraformer_Author

Ok - here's the deal. I am working with CC2, FT PRO, AND COSMOGRAPHER PRO (COSMOGRAPHER 2). My problem is this. When I export a map from FT PRO as a cosmographer template, I get two files. One is an icosohedral projection in bitmap form - and the other is a CC2 (.fcw) file. Bare in mind that this is the first time that I have ever tried integrating Cosmographer and FT PRO - despite having owned both for around two or three years now (been mostly into Fractal Terrains). Ok - so - when I open the exported CC2 (.FCW) file - I get only a blank icosohedral planet hex map, but NO terrain image at all - just the template (BLANK). Ok - so - what am I doing wrong - and/or - what do I have to do to get the FT PRO image to show up behind / with / as part of the planet hex map template?

I WANT IT TO LOOK LIKE THIS! (below map courtesy of the MINDJAMMER game / Sarah Newton):

It is a bug.

After opening the map in CC3, (hide all layers except STANDARD), use numerical edit on the "broken image" image, and browse to the image file. This will insert the image, keeping the position and size of the original.

For those of you who were just as lost as I was on this thing - the "NUMERICAL EDIT" button in Campaign Cartographer 3 is the little sqaure doohicky with the "pound sign / number sign" on it in the left hand tool column of your CC3 screen.:

Or even easier, just type EDIT on the command line.

Thanks bro. Tried doing it a second time - but when I hit the numerical button it didn't give me a browse option (almost like it was a one shot deal). I am however using VISTA, and my registry HAS been a little buggy lately - so I'll try ditching the old file and making a new CC2 / FT export.

Make sure you click on the edge of the image, and that there are no other entities in the same location. If you miss the image, or click on another entity, the command will fail silently.

Also note that this only works on the images inserted by the FT Pro export. It does not work with regular images inserted inside CC3 in the regular fashion.

Roger amigo - will give it a go. I was clicking all over the thing but it wasn't doing anything - I was wondering to myself what I did right the first time that got it to work, lol ...
