Problem with clipping exporting from FT3 to CC3

I am having an issue exporting my map from FT3 to CC3.

Everything is fine when I use the "Save Campaign Cartographer File option.

I select my export function and then click Export World and everything is fine.

I then decided to use the Export Wold -> Multiple Files... option and use the same export function.

The full world map produced this way however ends up clipped on the top and bottom.

How can I get the base map to start off just like it does when I do the single export?

    What map projection are you using?

    I am using the Miller Cylindrical projection in both cases.

    Setting on this say

    Lat: 4.7841
    Lon: 95.3571
    X Ofs: 0
    Y Ofs: 0
    Scale: 0.636

    It turns out that I made a couple of slight math errors in the Miller Cylindrical projection way back when (2.5 is not the same as 2/5, for example, and the vertical extents are off by a factor of about 1.36). I would recommend not using that projection for multiple exports. On the plus side, your report offers some more places for me to look to possibly correct a whole class of "multiple exports not working properly" bug reports over the last decade that I haven't been able to track down.

    Speaking of which - which projection/s work well for multiple exports into CC3?

    Starshadow,

    I did some testing with different projections after I was questioned on it.

    Clipping seems to be a problem with quite a few of the projections but one that worked with the least change to my map was the Equirectangular. I just switch the projection to Equirectangular exported the mutli-file and got pretty much what the single version did.


    Jslayton,

    As I said before the single "Save Campaign Cartographer file..." function outputs correctly. I don't know what major difference in the programming there is but the issue must be in whatever variable(s) are different in the base mult-file compared to the single version. I used the same Miller Cylindrical projection when running both and as you see the single file shows the entire map. As mentioned above the Equirectangular doesn't seem to have a problem.

    I am glad I pointed you in a new direction finding the bug. Any chance you can fix it by the end of the week ?? ;) lol

    I have the same issue.
    My solution was to zoom out one level and that gave me the whole Map, with a boarder around it.

    Another issue is that while you can Link the CC3 files, it does not put a link to go backwards. That would be a nice feature to add.

    Another issue I've see if I chose anything other than 2x2 I get an image which is the correct width but twice to three times as high.
