  • Dunes Varicolor in Overland Schley Symbols not changing color

    @OwlishlyTaboo - You and Ralf posted at the same time. Ralf's update will solve the varicolour issue.

    As for the export problems I think you may need to adjust your settings a bit.

    There appears to be some horizontal banding going on. Type EXPORTSETMPPP and hit return. You will see a number in the command line at the bottom that is probably 4 million (4000000). Type 40000000 (40 million) and hit enter again. That will greatly increase the width of each band and make those stripes less likely to happen.

    When you export your map using Save as... pick the type of export and then click the Options button. These settings seem to do quite well at most maps, giving you a map that is 3000 px on the longest side.

  • Style Request: East Asian Floorplan/Dungeon

    Plan view styles also contain a wider range of assets because you only have to draw each thing once, instead of 4 times.

    Don't worry. If I end up doing something like this, it will most likely follow the Japanese Temple and Japanese Village convention and be called something beginning with "Japanese". East Asian is a category that is far too diverse to be done in a single style anyway. You would need at least 10 or so.

    EDIT: Actually I realise now that one of those styles was Asian Town, but that one was much less specific than the Japanese Temple style. With something as specific as this it would have to be "Japanese..."

  • Suggestion to make monthly issues separately purchasable

    That is only the current year's annual. Once the year is completed all the issues are put into one installer.

  • How can you quickly restore missing symbols?

    I guess the only thing to do, since I assume that they didn't get rid of any of the old symbols but just reorganised them and added more (major assumptions), is to install the new CSUAC and find the files then open the relevant catalogues and click on the ones you think should be in the map, then use Replace in the Symbol Manager.

    But that does seem like quite a lot of messing around. Maybe TS have the answer.
