Work Around Annual for cc3+

I have not seriously used cc3+ because my world maps use the annuals notably Annual 64 and 71 (Herwin Wielink stuff), and I do not want to remap all 7 continents with some other style just yet. Knowing that Profantasy can not be expected to convert all annuals in the blink of a eye, I mean they are god like because of this excellent software, but I suspect they are only human and stuff like this takes time. Soooo....

I brought up the directory for cc3 and also the directory for cc3+

I then copied every instance of annual CA64 and CA71 from the cc3 directories to c33+ directories ( went through level of the tree)

After this I loaded one of my cc3 maps using CA65 and bam it showed up with all my symbols and drawing tools in place.

On thing I noticed was that some of the drawing tools (like when i click the default sea icon on the left menu) come up with a dialog box which says select drawing tool..so i just click the one i need and it works.

My main question could this mess up any maps that I draw later when the annuals are converted.. or if they could mess anything up for that matter.

Thanks Ron

    Copying artwork and drawing tools shouldn't cause any problems, as long as you copy them to the same location in the CC3+ data folder as you found them in the CC3 installation directory. When ProFantasy updates the installers, they will basically end up doing the same, because copying the assets to anywhere else would cause old maps from CC3 to not work in CC3+.

    A few annuals also supplied some extra .dll files with commands for CC3, these you may wish to be careful with, as these may not work as desired with CC3+, but just copying art assets should not cause any issues.
