A few questions on starting with Cosmographer

herrozerro · May 2014

I recently purchased cosmographer 3, and watched Joe Sweeney's tutorials, but I have some questions.

I was just wondering if there was a way to just have a blank white page? I want to do a starship deckplan with cosmographer but I don't really like any of the templates. For example, The product from Storyweaver games The firelight battle maps (http://www.rpgnow.com/product/105158/HighSpace-Battlemaps-Firelight-Scout-Ship) looks like it came from this program. The background is nice and clean white, I assume the legends were probably added later with PS or some other program. Is there a way to do this? (well obviously there is a way, but perhaps I'm not seeing it?)

also the product has the ships split up into tiles, is this a feature of CC3 or COS3? or is this probably some further manipulation?

thanks!

You can change the fill style when you make a new map and use one of the templates or you can make your own template so you can have an all white background..

You can add a map legend in easily into CC3 by using the text tool.

The July 2012 Annual will be of use to you as it dealt with making battle tiles for a starship.

It does have downloadable video tutorials for it.

Also download the free Battle Tiles Special Issue and the videos for it.

This will help when you with the starship ones.

Joe has a couple of other tutorials on his YouTube channel that you may find helpful if you haven't seen them.

Hope that helps.

In the new map wizard, you can set your background on one of the later tabs. Set the backgrounf fill to "Solid" and the color to White (color 15), to have a pure white background.

Printing to multiple tiles is a basic feature of CC3. You'll find the option on the print dialog when printing your map.

thanks!

I'm still a bit of a noob at this.
