FT3 Simple Create issues

gordie

I've been trying to use the "Simple Create" feature to rough-in a new background for my existing CC3 maps, however, painting with climate types ranging from ocean trenches through to mountains results in land masses 0-200 feet high (ie. no mountains or ocean basins). The altitude ranges used are the defaults (-30000 to 30000 feet).

Another (minor) problem related to overlays is the 'Image Overlay Paintbrush Options' window initially shows black as the current painting color, but it is actually white.

There does indeed appear to be a problem with translating the climate information into the correct colors on the painting toolbar. This problem should be resolved in an update to the product.

I've reported these issues along with a few others I've since found to Profantasy - they've told me that FT3 had an extensive beta test phase, but given some of the problems in the UI (some basic menu items simply not working) I'm a bit surprised... Hopefully we won't have to wait too long for a patch release.

All four of your reported issues will be addressed in the next release. I expect that it will be available in the next few weeks.

That's great to hear -- thanks.

It should be out by the end of next week.
