  • Shablov village on ravenloft mood

    That's because the black in the texture underneath is the same color as the text. Try making the text a very dark grey instead of black.

    Alternatively, make a copy of the text sheet, with all the same entities underneath the original, but no sheet effects. Then turn all the text on that sheet a different color, like a purple. You won't see it, as it's below the black text, but it will separate it from the black in the texture behind.

  • Q: Import real star data into Cosmographer?

    It places a height symbol as the Stars in the Cosmo 3 style are. It expects the symbol catalog and the symbol name as input next, and then the location and height of the symbol.

    You can always try out such a command by typing it at the command line in CC3+.

  • Your favourite settings? (worlds)

    Same here. :D While I haven't played in it in a long time, my favourite setting is still my own world of Jhendor, which I developed in the late eighties and used for my games for 20 years.

  • Passing of Jerry Thiel

    Very sad to hear of his passing. His memory will live on in his maps for me.

  • Compass Roses

    They are indeed very nice! And yes, I'd love to see a collection like this as an Annual as well.

  • disappearing symbols

    Yes, there was a problem in that template. Here are fixed versions, which you can copy into the foolde /Templates/Cosmographer/Wizard/ (overwrite the existing versions).

  • Cosmographer Traveller Sector Import

    Here are the intructions I provided!

    - open the attached cfg file and in the list of sector names, add the custom sector you want to import, with the name that is in the travellermap database

    - Save the cfg file in a convenient location

    - Start CC3+ normally, as well as the process of importing a sector.

    - After saving the new map, the import dialog comes up, with the list of the official sectors.

    - Click the Change Export Settings and load your modified cfg file.

    - Click "Cancel" on the dialog.

    - Start creating a new map, again choosing Cosmographer > Traveller Sector Import and saving the map.

    - When the import dialog comes up again, you should now see your newly added name in the list.

    - Continue with the import as normal. Note that you may see a few script errors at the end, depending on the custom sector, but the end result should be the FCW map I have attached to this email.
