Palisade Walls In CC3+

Dargurd

Hi Folks

In CC3 there was a way of drawing a wooden palisade wall that you could surround a village etc with. I cant seem to find the same thing in CC3+. It may have have been in an Annual. Can anyone help please?

The palisade wall functions that I remember using were Macros and Scripts designed for that purpose. I made a quick google search to see if I could find a site with them. This is what I found, but that is not the comprehensive list I remember. I'll see if I can find any others.

Macros Site

Note that when using older macros and scripts you might have to make some modifications to account for the way the newer software works. Test these out on a new drawing to prevent messing the one you are working on.

There used to be a lot of communication on the yahoo groups about Macros, Scripts & XPs, but I haven't seen much of the people in those conversations here.

I miss those conversations.

It would be nice if the macro collections could be hosted on the profantasy site, if it is not already there. I haven't found it.

There are scripts deeply buried in the forums, but good luck finding them. Profantasy doesn't seem interested in making such things any easier to find.

I tried leaving off the letter s, and just searched for macro.

Found 21 discussions in these forums.

'script' and found 9.

It is not that sophisticated. You need one or more of a stake symbol. I used the collection of aegan which you can find here
http://www.dundjinni.com/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=9805&get=last
for a battle map sized map. For mapping whole cites in a CD3B style I created a simple stake with gimp (see attached).

If you have one or more symbols, optionally organize in a randomized collection, you need nothing more than the right symbol options. With the check box "Symbol is a connecting symbol" you have an easy to go drawing tool. You can ad more options like random transformation to have more variability and thats it. Drawing a palisade is just like drawing a line. Works fine for me.

Thanks for the link !

You can also use the "Symbols Along" command (Escarpment) to draw symbols along a path. There's at least one discussion and explanation on the forums here.
