  • October Community Challenge - Faeridge

    Nothing you necessarily need, but depending on the detail level you wish to achieve, you could add things like vegetation (bushes/flower/vegetable garden), wagon tracks and wagons, worn trail from the road to the doors, various items (creates, benches, lights, tools), fences, animals, ....

  • Custom rectangular grid - how to add coordinate labels

    There is a white rectangle outside the map on the SCREEN sheet. Hide this sheet and you can see what is outside. Draw on a sheet that is after this sheet in the sheet order to draw on top of it.

    The primary use of this sheet is to hide things like symbols that partially extend beyond the map border.

  • Help with overlapping maps

    There is, but you'll need to do some trimming.

    Basically, you just use clipboard copy and use a selection rectangle to mark the area you wish to copy, then paste it into the destination map (Keep an eye on the command line while doing clipboard copy to make sure you complete all steps).

    You can the use tools like :CC2TRIM: and similar to crop lines going out of the area.

    Basically, your procedure is the same as when making a detail map of an area, which is described in this blog article, just a bit simpler.

  • October Community Challenge - City Streets - VOTING POLL in first post

    I might do that one day. It is actually non-trivial to pick a good atlas city for this challenge. If the city is too large, the navigation links gets almost invisible, and if the city is too detailed, it isn't as fun as a contest because the look of the buildings is locked down already, providing little freedom. Some cities also have a very heavy .fcw file which may not be too kind to those with a weaker computer, so I want to avoid using those for a challenge like this as well.

    I do have a few other candidates though. But I also try to vary the content of the challenges, so it won't be streets next time.

    @Autumn Getty The .fcw of the map is downloadable from the atlas page.

    @jmabbott Get her into mapping?
