    Try searching the Symbols folder for things like "Skeleton", "Bone", and "Corpse".

    When you find some these will be the PNG files. What you need is the corresponding catalogue file for that folder of PNGs, which is usually in the same main folder the PNG folder is in.

  • Do I have to use FaceBook to access community content?

    But I'll let you into a secret. The real techs are here. I always seem to be telling people to come to the forum because I can't solve the problem myself on FB.

  • Create maps with my own graphic elements?

    Hello brandor :)

    Yes, you can do all of that.

    I recommend the Tome of Ultimate Mapping as a reference book that contains all the technical information you will need to do the job, and this forum as the place to ask for freindly and usually accurate help and advice.

  • Mapping Europe 1790s

    For the first point - was the original a CC3 map? If it wasn't then you won't find the style ready made somewhere in our stock of styles.

    However, you have accurately surmised that it wouldn't be too difficult to make something similar. That would mean picking and mixing different elements of different styles, like for instance using the tree symbols from 'CC3 Mike Schley Inks Overland' and creating drawing tools for the rest of the aspects.

    The only thing you might find a bit difficult to emulate is the dotty fill. The rest is more a matter of setting up the correct line styles and making drawing tools for them.

    On the final point - are these maps copyright by the artist? That's not a problem if you create your own for personal use, but paying someone else to copy them may be a problem if you haven't got permission to reproduce them from the artist.
