  • New Mouse

    I must be getting old! I can't stand all these little buttons all over the place. I tried one once that had 7 - two on each side as well as the usual 3. If it had been a car I was driving there would have been a very nasty accident! LOL!

    I've used the flag a couple of times on spam posts. It gives you a dialog that you have to interact with to complete the job, so you can't really accidentally report anyone. Don't worry :)

  • New Mouse

    Nope. Just ordinary symbols. I'm not sure if there will be time to do varicolour. That's normally Ralf's decision once I hand the set over.

    I bought a mouse! It's the cheapest mouse on the planet. I figured that I couldn't tell by looking at all the fancy colours shapes and flashing lights, nor by whether it was shaped like a Land Rover or a skull - couldn't tell which might be better or more reliable than any of the other 3 button mice. So I just got an ordinary office mouse. If it breaks, it breaks, but it's not so expensive I can't afford to buy another different make of ordinary office mouse :)

  • vintyri Collection

    I only have a very old copy of Bogie's Mapping Objects (about 3 yrs old now), and it's no longer properly installed but just 'there' in my folders as a reference source for the oldest maps I ever drew. However, I do remember how incredibly tricky it was to install - even back then when the collections were smaller. You have to follow the instructions to the letter and make absolutely no mistakes whatsoever.

    If you still can't get it to work properly I recommend contacting Vintyri directly using the email address they supply on their webpage.

    No shoulder buttons.

    I hate them. I always catch them when all I want to do is move the mouse. 3 buttons for me.

  • [WIP] Community Atlas - River Watch - Druid villages

    They're lovely Quenten :)

    Just a side note here, but since you are using Scott's set of Celtic village symbols a tip you might consider for future is that if you set the resolution to fixed and Very High just before you render the images those little white lines in the roof shading will disappear. It's caused by the fact that the lower resolutions of the map image are antialiased when they are generated by CC3, so the line between 100% red and zero red is blurred where it needs to remain sharp. In effect that blurred line of pixels in the map file causes the shading to swing to the lit side and back again in one narrow stripe.

    Er... no! Sorry. I completely missed it! LOL!

    I laugh now ;)

  • How do you make connecting symbols?

    Oh look! I thought I'd lost them, but I apparently still have the hedge :)

    That's the other thing. You need to put them in a folder within the Symbols folder before you import them. I use a subfolder directory called User to keep things separate from the native CC symbols.

  • Command of the Week - Trace (Week 35)

    You can use offset instead of trace to do that. This is covered in another of Remy's Command of the Week articles here:

  • Community Atlas 500th map and 4 year anniversary competition with prizes.

    Thanks Quenten :)

    Can I change my mind and decide to do part of the Kristol Springs instead? An outdoor battle map. The area looks like Yellowstone in size, so it would only be one of the many springs.
