Open Beta Test Closed: Dundjinni Archives Vol. 1 (Overland) for CC3+
Vintyri
Newcomer
From 2004 to 2008, Cecil Solomon compiled all of the symbols and fill styles that Dundjinni users who were willing to share them had posted on the Dundjinni forum into the CSUAC. After Cecil stopped supporting the CSUAC in 2008, Dundjinni users Kepli, Sendorian and Daniel Pryor continued collecting these works in the Dundjinni Archives, a less formal but still formidable collection, and much larger than the CSUAC.
Recently, the Vintyri Project was granted the right to make and release Fractal Mapper (TM) 8 and CC3+ versions of these archives. As always with Vintyri products, this release is free and available for personal and commercial use. The first of three archive releases for CC3+ now is available foe open beta testing. We're choosing open testing this time, because the installation and data structures are relatively simple. We hope to close the beta testing on Friday, September 9.
The Dundjinni Archives for CC3+ will be released in three separate downloads:
Volume 1 – Overland Symbols and Covers. The download comes to about 500 MB. This is the volume that now is available for beta testing. For the first time, it makes the user collection of Dundjinni ISO symbols and covers available fully converted for CC3+. Unlike almost all other Dundjinni objects, those in this collection are primarily useful for CC3+ overland maps. The content blends in well with ProFantasy's own overland symbols but in most cases less satisfactorily with the Mike Schley and Herwin Wielink styles. However, a Line Art catalog is included that might work satisfactorily with the Schley style.
Volume 2 – Fantasy Symbols and Fill Styles. This will be the last release in this series. It includes more than 2 GB of mapping objects. There is no release date target at this time.
Volume 3 – Modern and Science Fiction Symbols and Fill Styles. This will be the next release in this series. It includes some 200 MB of mapping objects. We're giving Volume 3 priority because of the relatively small number of symbols available to Modern and SciFi map makers. The release target is for late September.

for Volume 2 I hope you break it down into smaller parts due to the file size
