Issue 62 - Satellite Overland Missing Tool?

According to the guide:
Among the right-click options for the Sea and Landmass drawing tools you'll find the Continental Shelf tool. This is used to lighten the sea textures around the landmass and depict the raised seafloor around the coast.
I have no such tool. I have land. I have ocean, but not Continental Shelf. My oceans are all dark or arctic. I have opened up all of the tools and I find nothing. So, is this tool just missing from my install? I think I got this from some bundle offer because I only have 9 Annual numbers in a row around this instead of 12. While this is an overland map, I had to use Cosmographer for the style

Did you start the right template? Issue 62 - Satellite Overland isn't found in the Cosmographer Section, it is found under overland maps as per the guide, and it should have the continental shelf tool (Sea, Continental Shelf). There is a map style called 'Overland Cosmographer Satellite' in the Cosmographer section, but this isn't annual 62, but a style that is part of Cos3 and has a different set of tools)
Ok, now I have a different problem. It seems I have Issue 62 installed (or at least I have a folder for it.) However, it is not showing up on my list of styles for Overland. My list jumps from Napoleonic battles to Parchment and Sarah Wroot to Scorching Sun.
It sounds like you only have the Cartographer's Collection 1 which does not contain the Overland Satellite style. That style is in the Cartographer's Collection 2 that was on Humble Bundle recently.
I have both of them. I have all of the files. It is just that it is not in the setup wizard. I reinstalled Cartographer's Collection 2. There is still nothing in the setup wizard for it.
In the CC3plus Data directory in the annual directory is there a folder - Issue 62 - Satellite Overland Maps? If so is it empty? If it's empty try deleting it and doing a reinstall or repair of the Cartographer's Collection 2. I had a similar issue where I had done an uninstall but the directory was still there but empty and the installer did not install the files until I removed the empty directory. The installer could be seeing this directory and not installing those files and the additional files for the templates in the templates/overland Maps/wizard directory.
Yes I have the directory. That is the only way I even knew I was supposed to have access to it. I have access to all of the files. I can load up the sample maps just fine. What is missing is the template in the wizard directory. I think it was just not packaged with the install file.
You are correct. I just looked inside the installer file I have and there are no .fct files for CA62. The sample files are there and there is an
Annuale Overland Satellite.fcw file but no template files. I attached a screenshot of the extracted fct files list. You should contact tech support so they can get the installer updated.
Thanks for the report. The template files are indeed missing from the Humble Bundle collection and I'm fixing the setup here. For anyone not wanting to download the whole thing again, I'm attaching the missing files in a zip file here. Extract them to /Templates/Overland Maps/Wizard/ in your CC3+ program folder if you are missing them.
