  • Live Mapping: Parchment World

    Here's the map I created during the mapping session.

  • Problems with CA168B (City Cliffs 2) sample maps

    The cliffs symbols are not their own style, they can and should be loaded up in any other style. Just load them up through the symbol catalog window. You can also combine them into the original catalog of course.

    It's actually a good idea, and I will add that to the full setup for the 2020 Annual.

  • Live Mapping: Ancient Realms Revisited

    I've updated the Annual download with a few small fixes to the template and drawing tools. Just re-download and re-run the setup to apply them.

    And here is the map as far as I created it yesterday.

  • Issue 199

    Yeah, sorry for the confusion. I had to rename the style after it had been available for 24 hours or so (entirely my fault)

    You can also just delete the Silverman folders under /System/Drawtools/ and /Annual/, as well as the template files under /Templates/Overland Maps/Wizard/.

  • What got you into cartography?

    For me, like I guess many others, it was the maps in the Lord of the Rings. I got the third book first (the others were delayed) and I vividly remember puring over the map trying to find the locations mentioned in the "what happened so far" section, but couldn't. Of course, because the book in the Return of the King only shows Rohan, Gondor and Mordor.

    Because I loved the much higher detail of that map, I went ahead and expanded it myself to cover all the area of the big map. I think I ended up with something like 5x5 sheets of paper. Those hung over my bed for the longest time.

  • Live Mapping: Hex Maps

    And here's the session's map again. Nothing spectacular, but perhaps useful if someone wants to look things up.

  • Maps for "Wizard Kings" by Columbia Games

    I've been asked about this (ooold) little tool in CC3+ and done a quick update for it to be useable in CC3+. Download here and unzip over your program data directory.

    It's still a pre-defined overland template, using the Mercator Overland style.

  • Cthulhu City Export Issue

    I strongly suspect that the added picture frame distorts the height to width ratio and the export then crops any white space resulting in the image size you see. Try turning off "Crop image to aspect ratio" in the export settings and you'll probably see some white space in the export.

    You can always post the map here, so we can take a look, or submit a tech support request.

    Here's the map I was working on in the video session.

  • Live Mapping: Villages of Schley *CANCELLED*

    @boffo Yes, I'll do the session another time, don't worry.

    I managed to blow some coffee grains into my eyes (don't ask!), which was quite unpleasant (don't try this at home), but it's better now and I can see again. :D Thanks for the concern!
