Great. This is a valuable resource, so good to see it back.

You find that command by right clicking :CC2EXPLODE:

The pain with automatic replacing symbols in the same spots is that it is vulnerable to the scale and origin of the symbols you switch. Most of them are not designed to allow perfect replacement, so even doing it automated usually means things doesn't look quite right. In most cases, when a style have both living and dead trees, the dead trees aren't the exact same tree as the living one (but without leaves), but rather a new tree the artist drew.

Books are the greatest gift.

Maps are always good, but don't feel any need to hurry, I still haven't gotten to adding your last batch.

If that's the result of picking the Mike Schely option during export, then it looks like there is either something wrong with your export options, or the template file is missing.

Can you in the export dialog after picking the Schley export setting hit the Edit button instead of the Export World button. On the first page of the editor, make sure the template is set like this

Also, to confirm the file actually exists as well, hit the button with the three dots there, that should bring up a file open dialog that should show the available template files. Make sure the Mike Schley template is actually among the files shown here.

The sector import is mainly designed to work with official Traveller data, it was kind of assumed that people making custom stuff would draw the map themselves when this was made.

However, it is possible to point it at your own webserver instead of travellermap.com, and thus import the that way. Just make sure the webserver returns data exactly as the travellermap would do.

You'll find the configuration files in @System\Traveller\. Just make a copy of the example.cfg file there and edit it in a text editor, the data sources are at the top of the file. (Or use the more updated config file Ralf posted here.)

Note that I have never done this myself, so I don't have much additional data. I am not a Traveller player myself. But I know others have done this in the past.

Great work. Added it to the tutorial list.

There are two main things that can cause erase to misbehave:

• It actually calls a macro, so if your macro file is corrupt the command may not load properly. There was a bug in an earlier version that could cause corruption of your in-memory version of the macros, hence the importance of the update. The update should also have replaced your macro file on disk. You can check that your macro file looks sane by going to tools -> macros -> edit macros, scroll down in the dialog, and check that the last line is ENDM (followed by a blank line)
• Your selection method may be changed. This should make all commands requiring a selection to misbehave though, and not just erase, but you can reset it to the default by going to tools menu -> options -> Select method -> set to dialog or popup.

If none of this helps, I suggest you contact support through your registered user pages.

The reason it works when you move it back to the desktop is likely because the map is set up with map-relative paths to the images. Which means it looks for the images in a spesific place that is relative to where the map is, so if you move the .fcw file, you need to move the image folder along with it so they keep their relative relationship in the new location.

As Sue says, it is best to keep your symbols under @Symbols\User\somesubfolder
