  • can CC handle Tilesets?

    Ah, I see. That's probably why I haven't come across it before. The kind of graphics I make are generally much larger than that, so a full sheet of them all together would be several tens of thousands of pixels in each direction. That wouldn't really be practical for any game or app.

    You're right - you will have to cut them out of the main sheet and save them as individual symbols. I would do just one to start with - test it for resolution, colour suitablity, and so on. That way, if it doesn't suit as well as you thought it should you've only spent time doing one instead of all of them.

  • Mouse stuck snapping.

    The visible grid that prints is a separate entity to the snapping grid, which exists only in CC3 and is never printed.

    Look at the bottom right of the window. There are 5 buttons there, two of which are Snap and Grid. It's possible that you may have the Snap turned on, but the Grid turned off. The effect would be as you describe - the mouse cursor snapping to an invisible grid.

  • New Humble Bundle

    @Tom B You will have selected issues from those listed annuals, but not the entire annual. The easiest way to find out exactly which issues you have is to go to your Annual folder and check the Issue numbers there.

    C:\ProgramData\Profantasy\CC3Plus\Annual

    The drive this folder is on will depend on where you installed the software.

    The annuals are numbered from the very beginning, back in 2007. 1-179. The next issue due out at the beginning of December is 180, and the bonus issue this year is 180A

  • What does exactly the term "commercial use" mean in license description ?

    For a completely correct and no guessing response to that question you need to contact Profantasy directly. Anyone else's interpretation is only as good as yours unless it comes direct from Profantasy.

    You can contact them via your Support tab on your account page.

    Having said that, though, I think you will find Profantasy's EULA is pretty generous once you are clear on the exact meaning.

  • Practical use of the new Fractal Terrains Profantasy Normal Map in Campaign Cartographer?

    Yes, I did. The symbol edge issue is why I didn't create a style based on shaded mountains. There was another problem in that the image png was made so bright by the effect of the map file that I had to turn the original images really dark to compensate. Making them dark enough to come out the same basic colour as features done in the same colour but without a map file meant that they were too dark to take very much colour detail.

    I did mine in Wilbur, not FT3. Unfortunately, I seem to have lost them in the transition between my old laptop and new PC.
