  • Forest Trail project - part 2

    @EukalyptusNow You're welcome :) Those two fills were more of an accident than anything else. I play with making textures when I'm thinking, and those two just cropped up - one a modification of the other.

    The bridge is in sections anyway, so you can built it with or without the damaged section.

    The method you suggested for the stepping stones is one that I created as a multisheet symbol used in one of the example maps for part 1, but for some reason I forgot to add them to the catalogue. I'm currently experimenting with specifically drawn ones, but it is difficult to draw stepping stones that fit all 3 states of the river (calm, fast and white water). There is now just a bit less than 2 days to go to handover, so these are not a definite inclusion.

    Well, I decided to leave the rapid symbols as they are - webbing and all. In addition, though, I've made two white water fills that seem to work ok with them to give quite a different impression.

    I've also done some work on a bridge.

    I'm tinkering with proper stepping stones to go with all types of river, but there are only 2 days left now and these are proving quite difficult to draw.

  • Symbol Set 6 - Isometric Cities released!

    Thank you very much indeed for the Sort Symbols button, Ralf! :D

    Quenten - I think there may be a bit of a confusion going on here The grid I made is a fill, not a regular snap grid. It's in the list of bitmap fills and can be applied by picking the "Grid SS6" fill and drawing a rectangle of that fill over the map on the GRID sheet.

    No, there doesn't seem to be a ruins button, but since you can get to them easily enough with just 2 clicks as shown in the screen shot above I'm inclined to think that may have been just too much work in the time available to save a single click. Besides - I aboslutely LOVE the sort symbols button! That one saves many, many clicks - possibly hundreds or even thousands of clicks depending on the size of your city.

    Interesting points, EukalyptusNow :)

    Ricko - good idea. Maybe. We'll see if there is time. I also want to have a crack at a couple of bridges in these last 4 days.
