  • Style Request: East Asian Floorplan/Dungeon

    Plan view styles also contain a wider range of assets because you only have to draw each thing once, instead of 4 times.

    Don't worry. If I end up doing something like this, it will most likely follow the Japanese Temple and Japanese Village convention and be called something beginning with "Japanese". East Asian is a category that is far too diverse to be done in a single style anyway. You would need at least 10 or so.

    EDIT: Actually I realise now that one of those styles was Asian Town, but that one was much less specific than the Japanese Temple style. With something as specific as this it would have to be "Japanese..."

    The only way you could improve that last one is if you take the shadow off the outcrops and draw one. At the moment the shadow is appearing on the wrong side of the cliffs.

  • Dunes Varicolor in Overland Schley Symbols not changing color

    @OwlishlyTaboo - You and Ralf posted at the same time. Ralf's update will solve the varicolour issue.

    As for the export problems I think you may need to adjust your settings a bit.

    There appears to be some horizontal banding going on. Type EXPORTSETMPPP and hit return. You will see a number in the command line at the bottom that is probably 4 million (4000000). Type 40000000 (40 million) and hit enter again. That will greatly increase the width of each band and make those stripes less likely to happen.

    When you export your map using Save as... pick the type of export and then click the Options button. These settings seem to do quite well at most maps, giving you a map that is 3000 px on the longest side.

  • A small cave complex for a side quest

    TA usually has a set pattern like a matrix of dots. I think the issue is probably with the pattern of the fills. Try making that dirt-like texture less transparent in the middle to hide the pattern of the stone underneath it.

  • CC3+ Going back to the basics-Dungeon

    It looks pretty good, though there do seem to be a few artefacts of something not quite right around that join between the cave and the rooms beyond it.

    Check that you haven't doubled up on the walls anywhere. That is the most common cause for windows and doors not cutting the wall as expected. If there are two walls the door/window will only cut one of them and then be hidden by the other.

    Use List from the Info menu on a piece of suspect wall to find out how many walls are really there.

    I was just writing the same thing...

    Anyway - I'm glad you have it all sorted out now :)
