  • Fighting with TRACED

    I don't think TRACED can handle that image. Too much details beyond the landmass itself, like that border, all the text, all those tiny islands, city symbols extending beyond the coastline.

    You'll probably have an easier time just tracing it visually (manually) using the landmass drawing tool.

  • Cleaning Up CC3 Asset Location?

    Moving them is pretty easy:

    For the stuff under 'Documents' ==> move it as you please. CC3+ doesn't reference this stuff (unless you yourself have told it to do so by manually putting images in here, and then putting these in your maps, if you have done that, you also need to update any maps referencing stuff here)


    c:\ProgramData\ProFantasy\CC3Plus ==> This is the main CC3+ data directory. You can move this as you please, but you need to update the file c:\Program Files\ProFantasy\CC3Plus\@.ini with the new location. [This is a normal text file, can be edited with notepad, but you need administrator permissions to do so since it is inside the program files hierarchy.].

    The only things that can go wrong here is that if you have manually added content to this folder [This IS where all map resources should go, so adding things is fine] and used it in your maps without using the @-identifier in the path. This should not be an issue with standard content, only custom content that was improperly used. If this is the case, maps using fixed paths needs to be updated, and the easiest is to open them in CC3+, and then type FFIX on the command line as this changes full paths to relative paths. But this has to be done BEFORE the move. You can read more about relative paths here.


    Lastly, the {1CE7E770-44A2-4D72-991C-3E7870515B1C} folders you identified in ProgramData ==> These are not used by CC3+ itself, but by the windows installer when installing/updating/repairing/uninstalling CC3+. For normal operation, it is generally safe to remove these if you need the space, but keep them somewhere you can copy them back when windows complains about missing installers if you try any of the above operations.


    Note that putting things on an external hard drive will probably slow down CC3+ a bit. It can't keep everything in memory, so it need to access those image files regularly whenever you scroll/change zoom/issue a redraw. External drives are usually significantly slower than the internal one. Personally, I recommend keeping the data directory on the internal drive for the added performance, but feel free to experiment, after all, it can easily be moved back.

  • Community Atlas - Forlorn Archipelago - The Bleakness - Dungeon of the Dragon

    Just do it whenever you have the time. I'll just add them to the atlas whenever I have the time after receiving them.

    Make sure the names of the descriptive text files match the name of the map files.

  • Live Mapping - Lava Caves & Virtual Tabletops

    I need a cave with some lava for an upcoming encounter. You know the kind, those with open lava pools that only appear in fantasy and isn't particularly realistic, but makes for an interesting gaming scene. I'll be playing around with getting started on this map, as well as show you how to handle exporting it for Virtual TableTop use.

    As usual, you can check out the video on YouTube, or watch it in the embedded player here. See the sidebar to see the scheduled time in your time zone, or visit it on YouTube where you can also see the schedule, as well as set a notification for when I go live.
