Live Mapping: Height Transitions in Dungeons and Caverns
Hi everyone! :)
This week, Ralf will be answering another topic request by taking a look at creating visual height differences in dungeon and cavern maps.

All sessions are recorded (minus the chat), so if you miss the session you won't necessarily see what the questions were, but you can still see the video at a later date - either on Youtube or right here.

Annual Darklands fill question
Thanks :)
I did a quick sampler of all the forest and woodland drawing tools with the tool names shown for identification.
The trees from Darklands are quite dark compared to other styles, so you won't get any lighter trees than the jungle ones.
I think you might have the blurred FOREST SHADOWS sheet above the FOREST* sheets (above in the map - below in the list). That would cause the blurring seen in your shot. Check to make sure the sheets are in the right order.
As for the drawing tools themselves, the forest ones all seem to be in order, but the last two woodlands drawing tools seem to have a higher than expected density. I don't know if this is intended or not.

Cannot locate fill style OR resize map
I first had to delete all the copies of everything to make it easier. There were 5 backgrounds and 5 frames, multiple pieces of screen that didn't match up with each other, and so on. In the end I used the properties picker tool to grab the properties of a thing and redraw it.
I also had to delete multiple copies of all the map notes. Maybe that is why Resize didn't really work?
Anyway - I hope it's the right size for you now.
I've frozen the MAP BORDER, BACKGROUND and SCREEN layers for now, so if you want to change anything by hand you must first unfreeze them.

CA212 Terrains with Symbols not working
Here's a short checklist of the repair process:
- Delete the forests in your existing map, save the map and close CC.
- Download a fresh installer for Sarah Wroot Revisited, and install it by right clicking the icon and picking Run as Administrator. Use the Repair option, and allow CC to open the example map at the end of the installation.
- Reopen your map and try drawing a new forest.
If that doesn't work you might have to contact Tech Support.
