Annual Dungeon Blue
So I am a brand new/ultra novice mapper in need of some (a lot) of help. I specifically bought CC3 and DD3 so that I could great battle maps that look like this: https://secure.profantasy.com/images/gallery/gallery26.jpg
I've played around making some very simple maps using standard tools as well as watched a lot of tutorials. I realize I'm probably jumping in way over my head but I was hoping some one could help me trouble shoot the process of setting up this custom template - I get the impression that the 2007 Annual's instructions were meant for much more seasoned mappers. That being said here are my problems (so far):
- I've successful drawn a big colored (blue 68) rectangle - it however is accompanied by a black grid.
- I've created a custom floor tool but it refuses to "snap" to anything besides the border of the big blue rectangle for at least one or two points.
I'm sure I'll have yet more questions as I go but I was really hopping some one could give me a hand with these at least
edit: No matter what I do, even not trying to be fancy with totally custom templates I can not get walls/lines/floors/anything to snap to the grid properly. Everything wants to connect to the border or just stick a point wherever I click on the map with no "snapping".
