Welcome to the new and updated forums.

As you can see, the new version do look a bit different than before. The new version doesn't support the same template as the old, and have different elements, so the look has been recreated for the new templates.

Mostly, you'll find things in much the same place as earlier, but here is a short list of changes and new features to get you all started.

I'll write more detailed writeups of some of the features later.

New Editor

The post editor is now a new fancy rich text editor. It allows you to easily use different styles like headings and lists by using the tools in the editor itself, no more writing html codes. It also allows for easy uploads of images, in addition to clicking on the image icon to be presented with a file picker dialog, you can also drag and drop images, and paste them with Ctrl + C.

The new editor should automatically turn any pasted URL's into hyperlinks, and turn links to some special media like youtube into embedded videos.

Profile Data

Your username and password and email is exactly as before, but some of the user data, like real name and custom profile fields did not transfer over because the new forum versions handles things a bit differently. So if you want your real name showing on your profile, please edit it and add it. You'll also want to check your avatar. To edit your profile, click the avatar icon in the top right

Whispers

The new version no longer supports whispers in conversations. Instead, it uses a more traditional Private Messaging system. All old whispers have been converted to PM's. Click the envelope in the top right followed by the All Messages link in the popup to see these.

Notifications

Next to the envelope icon is the notification bell. By default, the forum notifies you of all manner of things. Click the bell and then the settings icon right below it to customize your notifications, and which will be shown just on the bell (popup) and which will be sent as email.

Image Uploads

The forum still has an attachment limit at 2MB for images and other attachments in posts, but now you also have a personal image gallery on your profile. Uploads in the gallery is limited to 5MB per file, which should give you a nice hi-resolution image if you stick to .jpg.

Reactions & Badges & Points & Ranks

You can now react to posts by clicking the like, awesome, insightful and lol reaction buttons. Please don't let these be a replacement for a friendly comment though, it is much nicer to have someone say something, but a like still shows you appreciate something even if you don't find anything to say. Getting reactions to your posts grants you points, which when enough have been accumulated will give badges and ranks, which showcase your community involvement.

Post Editing

A common way of spamming is to post a seemingly helpful post, and later go back and edit it. To prevent this behavior, there is now a time limit for editing your posts. If you really need to edit an old post rather than just post a new comment with an update, contact a moderator. Members with higher ranks have a longer period, since trusted members probably aren't spammers.

Old Links

Not all old links to various spots in the forums will work anymore. I'll update the various stickies and such in the coming days, but if you encounter a link that doesn't work properly, such as in the Interesting Resources sticky, this is why.

Have fun, and go on mapping :)

This issue indicates that you are not able to select the street properly, and when CC3+ doesn't detect a street being clicked, it just does a straight line instead.

Make sure that the street is not on a frozen layer.
Make sure that you click on the centerline of the street when selecting it, this is easiest to do when you are not zoomed too close since the pick cursor is larger in relation to the street.

Myktolos castle have now been added to added to the atlas. Thanks for the contribution.

Myktolos Castle

You'll never be able to upload that to Roll20. Image that size gets into the Gigabytes, and Roll20 only allows for files up to 10MB (5 for free account). That export size is just plain crazy.

You'll never be able to upload that entire map in battlemap scale to Roll20.
What I recommend is to upload a smaller overview map, and then do battlemap-scale maps of the areas where combat will take place, or other interesting features exist.

Note that if you really want an image that size, the only option is exporting in tiles. For that, Annual issue 129 is perfect for the job, which I used to export the City of Sanctuary. But realistically, you don't want to do that with this map, as you won't be able to use it as you are planning anyway.

For a basic export in CC3+, about 10kx10k is the upper limit. Depending on the map, it can be pushed a bit further, and some complex maps cannot even reach that, but it is a starting point for the max size.

People have different ways of doing things. Myself, I prefer to export the the CC3+ landmass directly from FT (as in the video).

Posted By: Stephan72My problem is now figuring out how to customize the map now that I've got it in CC3+.
