  • How do I get my new maps onto Roll 20?

    File -> Save as, then pick an image type such as .jpg. You'll probably want to hit the options button in the dialog AFTER picking the file type to set up the resolution you need.

  • 2 questions: "broken" sheet and effects on load

    This is a lesser-seen case of the 'Transparency Acne' effect. CC3+ calculates edges by looking for differences in colors.

    What happens here is that the lines doesn't go on top of the text, but because the text appears on top of the halftone lines, CC3+ sees differences where the fill has white pixels, and unchanges where they are black. This causes the glow on the text to behave as if the text was full of little holes, and fills those holes with the white glow.

    The best way of handling that is to change the colors on your underground railroads from black to a dark grey, just pick the darkest one. Since it isn't black, CC3+ will see that as a difference, and you are fine.

    Did you try Shessar's workaround above?

  • Losing Maps

    It shouldn't default to that folder, but every now and then something happens which causes the save dialog to open in that folder. This is a problem you can encounter in most windows programs, because you really want to let the dialog remember where the users where saving the files instead of forcing them to a specific directory each time, and this remembering is taken care of by the underlying Windows system, not the program itself.

    The important thing in any program is to save your work where you want it, not where the program defaults to, as having control over your own data files makes it much easier to both find them outside the program and handling things like backups.

  • Dungeon Designer 3 vs Annual Dungeons packs - difference?

    It actually used to be a bit more difference, because DD3 was the product that contained the specialized dungeon tools for making things like rooms and connecting corridors and such, so without DD3 you wouldn't have these specialized tools.

    However, as of the latest CC3+ version, these dungeon tools are installed in all CC3+ installation, so that isn't a concern any more.

    So, the big difference comes down to two things:

    • Amount of artwork: The dedicated products (DD3, SS2, SS4) do contain more artwork in a given style than the various dungeon issues in the annuals, which are a bit more light-weight.
    • The style: Down to what visual style you prefer.
