  • Live Mapping: OSR Dungeons

    Impressed you managed to create anything at all while also trying to watch what Ralf was doing @Don Anderson Jr., and keep an eye on the livechat! And it looks good, too!

    As Sue said, this is such an early style, it's one that the effects aren't automatically preloaded when you open the file; that's easily amended, but it can be annoying sometimes if you don't realise and wonder what's happened to the map (from frequent personal experience 😏).

  • Live Mapping: OSR Dungeons

    That was fun! And so easy to make a good-looking map quickly - if you're Ralf, anyway!

  • Battle for Södermark

    Nice to see this style being used for what it's intended for. I've only used it for deep undersea mapping so far!

    I like the B&W version, but I like B&W maps generally, so am biased.

    For the colour version, depending on how precise you want it to look, you could try making the colours, or some of them, a little more faded in some way - Edge Fade Inner or Transparency, for instance - although the way the contour lines don't align perfectly with the colours already makes it look nicely hand water-coloured.

  • [Atlas Submission] - Doriant - Gold Coast - Eknapata Desert - Kukaar

    And for @Royal Scribe: I remember seeing this map quite a while back; most impressive still, even though I assumed it had gone into the Atlas back then as well!

    Mind you, I'm forever finding maps by others I don't recognise when hunting for places to fit my latest Dungeon24/25/26... maps to. I suspect some probably were never posted about on the Forum, though it's at least as likely I've simply forgotten about them in the intervening years.

  • Symbols Missing, Floorplans>Wall Features>Modern Fill Wall Feature Cutting

    After a bit of digging around (it's actually SS3, not SS2, which confused at first!), the SS3 Bitmap A and B styles both have wall features like doors, so will cut the walls. SS3 Blueprint Floorplans has no door symbol options, so won't have any wall-cutting tools (so that symbol catalogue comes up as blank).

    It looks, though, as if you're actually using the Vector style, as in the Symbols > Modern > Floorplans Catalogue are two vector wall features catalogues Wall Features 31 and Wall Features, both of which have wall-cutting features.

    For unknown reasons, using the symbol catalogue icon doesn't call-up either of the Vector Wall Features catalogues in a new Modern Vector Floorplan map I did as a test, so at least I can say it's not just your system!

    You can navigate to the symbols manually, or you can add either of those files to your map using the drop down Symbols - Symbol Settings... option, which calls up this panel:

    In which I simply added the word "Floorplans" after "Modern" in the "Master filter" box and browsed to the correct FSC file under "Catalog setting specifications", saved that, and the catalogue now shows up when I click the :CC2SYMPATH: icon.

    Hopefully, this will help with your mapping.

    @Don Anderson Jr. - The line with the horse icon will only show up if you have the various non-ProFantasy symbols from the CSUAC, Dundjinni, Bogies, etc., items installed.
