  • Settings to export PNG for use as a Symbol

    Depending on the type of map you are making...

    Dungeon style symbols are usually imported at 100 px per map unit

    City symbols are usually imported at 40 px per map unit

    Overland symbols are usually imported at 20 px per map unit.

    So it really depends on what type of map and how big you want your shield.

  • A quick shadows on 2023 inked ruins map

    It looks good either way, but I prefer the style without the shadows. It has more of an inked map flavour.

  • practice dungeon corridor

    The older styles don't have the sheet effects automatically turned on when you open them, but you can change that by checking the little box called "Effects are on when loaded" in the Display speed dialog. It just means that things are immediately clear the moment you open the map. That first screen shot was without effects - either that or so far zoomed out they were invisible. It really is the largest dungeon map I've ever seen.

  • Having trouble installing CA 200 Inked Ruins

    Yes, this annual issue was not code-signed in the rush to leave for Gen Con, so windows will be a little fussy at installation. Ralf said he would fix it when he got back. I don't know if he already has, but in the meantime if you are talking about Windows Defender you can override that fuss. It's perfectly safe - just unsigned.

    EDIT: I just downloaded it again myself. It looks like Ralf has updated it if you want to download it again.

    I use Windows Defender myself. As long as you right click the installer and pick Run as Administrator it should be ok.
