Symbols Resolution NEWBIE (Help)
Hi there. This is my first question having installed CC3 (and some associated products) last week.
My problem is that the resolution of the images in the Symbols Set 2 product is absolutely loosy (i.e. clipart from MS-Word circa 1992) ;O). Clearly the resolution of these images (and for that matter all the other symbols I can see) should be available as high resolution as per the various tutorials you can view from Youtube. I've checked Google, the Profantasy FAQ and this forum but cannot find any reason why this is the case.
My setup is as follows:
Products installed: CC3 (v3.24), Dungeon Designer 3, City Designer 3, Temples, Tombs & Catacombs and Symbol set 2 V3.
Automatic Bitmap Quality: High
Fixed Bitmap Quality: Very High
Just to be clear, there is no problem adding/removing or changing the symbols - they just look crap compared with walls, rooms, corridors etc - all of which look great - strange?
Any CC3 guru out there have a clue?
Cheers

You might be looking at the wrong symbol set... there's several styles.
"You are not allowed to upload (SymbolRes.bmp) the requested file type: image/bmp"
Any ideas? Is there a security settings somewhere?

It's almost to the top left and it looks like two trees with arrows.
This is a noddy example. As you can see there is a nicely detailed corridor section and then a really clunky "Cave Pit 1b".
Thoughts?
Cheers
I'm just doing a re-install (repair) just in case something went wrong during the instal (just so I can rule this out).
You can also try and manually select symbols, until someone comes along that can help you :-)
See screenshot below... click that button to manually select symbols by browsing the CC3 directory. As you can see below the button in my screenshot there's some nice colored symbols available that fit in great with your map.
If you right click on the symbol style toggle button
Select "SS2 Bitmap A" or "SS2 bitmap B" from this menu for the Symbol set 2 styles, or "DD3 bitmap" for the original DD3 style. All these styles are bitmap styles, which should fit properly with your map.
So, apart for a couple of CC3 crashes upon selecting an image that looks like it fixed the problem, other than a few FCW32.exe errors which I'll keep an eye on - so thanks for the advice! :O)
Thanks again.
Cheers
At least, I have SS1 installed and it works for me :-)
But I never use it as I always browse on my hard drive and open the symbols I need.
