  • Live Mapping: Multi-level dungeons

    @JimP That's kind of a manual way of doing the same thing as this Live Mapping session.

    @jmabbott What Ralf will be demonstrating is a way of setting this up from the start with hyperlinks between each FCW level.

  • Live Mapping: Multi-level dungeons

    Hi Everyone :)

    In this week's Live Mapping session Ralf will be creating a multi-level dungeon from scratch. Please come along and join in.

    You can book a reminder on YouTube by clicking the link above and then hitting the Set Reminder button on the YouTube page.

    Hope to see you there!

    While its a bit difficult to see with the very busy and quite similar textures you have there, this is Transparency Acne.

    Try adding a new sheet between the two sheets these textures are on and see if that stops it. Sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn't.

  • The Lakes of Michigami (Jerry's Map) - WIP thread

    I'm doing a lot of thinking about different things right now. First things first - you say you have to have everything planned out before you start a map. I'm the opposite way around. Very "Bob Ross". Things just happen in a map because they happen. I've put a cursed/sunken city in the middle of that humungous swamp area. It's just an idea. Maybe it helps - maybe it doesn't. You choose if it stays or goes away. Please let me know what to put there instead though if you want it gone.

    The other thing I'm thinking about is scale. How big are you planning to export this map? This is the area I've been working on today between other jobs, extracted from a full export at 3000 px on the longest side. At this scale the structure symbols may be a bit small to do their proper job as symbols. 3000 px at 300 dpi is a print that is 10" in both directions when printed out. I think that's probably already too big for an A4 sheet.

    I've been using a lot of artistic licence on the design. If that's not ok, please say.

    If you want to know how to make the shaft look like a hole, there is this video by Remy - towards the end of it:
