    Hello Rikou. Welcome to the Profantasy Forum... (I assume this is your first post, since I haven't seen your name before, but correct me if I'm wrong :) )

    If your mountains have the same glow, then the chances are that they are on the same sheet as the violet area.

    To add a new sheet:

    1 Click the button on the left that has three yellow sheets on it
    2 Click "Add", and give your new sheet an appropriate name
    3 Click OK.

    To move the new sheet to where it needs to be:

    1 Make sure the new sheet is highlighted blue
    2 Use the "Up" and "Down" buttons until you have the new sheet where you want it.

    NB - remember that the sheets are drawn on the map in the order they are shown in this dialogue box. In other words, if you have sheet A above sheet B on the list in front of you, sheet A will be drawn first, and then sheet B, so all the things on sheet B will appear to be sat on top of the things on sheet A.

    To move something from one sheet to another (ie to move your violet area to its own sheet, where you can apply an effect only to that and not the mountains as well):

    1 RIGHT click the same three yellow sheets button and choose "move to sheet".
    2 Select your violet shape
    3 Right click the mouse and choose "do it". (This should open the Sheet manager)
    4 Pick the sheet you want the violet shape to go to by clicking it once with the mouse.
    5 Click Ok

    I hope that helps :)

    I'm sorry Rikou. I have memory problems ;)

    Happy to oblige :)
  • yes i just finshed my map and i want to make a new one. i want to make a snow island but i dont know if there are snow terrain on CC3. i found the desert terrain but no snow terrain. can you tell if there is a snow terrain on CC3 or how i can make it realistic enough?
  • LoopysueLoopysue ProFantasy 🖼️ 40 images Cartographer
    Snow terrain... hmmn. I only really know about Herwin Wielink textures. You are using Mike Schley, aren't you.

    I'll just go and have a look in the MS folder and see if there are any snowy/icy fills you can use. Be back in five.
  • LoopysueLoopysue ProFantasy 🖼️ 40 images Cartographer
    Yes. There is an "Ice" texture in the Mike Schley bitmap fills. Are you not able to see it on the list of available fills when you click the fill style box?

    That's the right end slot of that row of slots across the top just below the menu bar, and it will have something in it starting "FS: xyz" where xyz is the name of the fill.
  • ok i get it now first i couldnt find it but now i have it thank you :)

    If you get a bit bored of using just the one texture, you can always import textures from other folders in the CC3 system. This is done using the "Tools/Import bitmap fill styles" option in the menu. That opens a dialogue box, from where you will have to go looking for the folder you want to import, but its all relatively easy to find.

    If you have downloaded and installed CSUAC, the Vintyri Cartographic Collection, or Bogies Mapping Objects, there are quite literally thousands of fills - practically anything you can imagine, ranging from wooden floors to fields of bones!
