New Free Open Beta Release of Vintyri Symbol Set 1
Vintyri
Newcomer
We've released the complete open beta of the Vintyri (TM) Symbol Set 1 for CC3+ and CC3. This free, open game content release offers 122 raster symbols for making the roofed walls that were popular in the Middle Ages as well as gates, gatehouses and towers. A special feature is that the wall symbols are defined as connecting symbols, which allow you to create wall segments of any desired length with a single sweep of the mouse. The free, bookmarked PDF manual gives you full instructions on how to use these connecting symbols.
The quick-and-dirty map below gives you a small, not particularly professional sample of some of the symbols. If you're uncertain whether this package is of interest, you can preview the complete content here:

The symbols in this set are based upon real-world prototypes from the Middle Ages. The set includes a free 42-page, illustrated and bookmarked manual in PDF format which has full and illustrated installation instructions, photos of many of the historical prototype walls, towers, gates and gatehouses upon which these symbols were based and information on how to map credible Middle Ages type wallede twons and fortresses.
This is the first time that these symbols have been available in a CC3+- or CC3-version. They're being offered at present in an open beta test version. Alpha testing was completed on Friday, December 11. The tests were done with both CC3+ and CC3 running under Windows 7, 8.1 and 10. More on the beta testing below.
As with the previous Vintyri Symbol Set releases, this new addition integrates completely into City Designer 3, using CD3's roof lighting, toolbar, demographic building coloring, etc. HOWEVER, there are some prerequisites. The Vintyri Cartographic Collection is conceived as a unit. Each successive release builds upon the last, with the basic elements of the CD integration including master filters, catalogs, menus and elements of the CD3 integration built into the installation routine of the keystone set, Vintyri Symbol Set 2. That means that in addition to a running installation of CC3+ and/or CC3, you also need to have installed Vintyri Symbol Sets 2, 3 and 4 for Symbol Set 1 to operate properly.

In all cases, if you are using both CC3+ and CC3, you need download the symbol files only once. They work with both versions.
We're offering Vintyri Symbol Set 1 at this time as an open beta test release. Our target for closing the beta period is January 31. Downloading does not obligate you to make beta reports, but if you have problems or find errors, please let me know!
