Here's a town map I made. It's based on Arnoldsberg, Michigan (from the Call of Cthulhu Starter Set mission 'Paper Chase'.

I based it loosely on a map of the town today, adding and changing some details.

I also discovered when making this that the 'fill with stamp' tool doesn't work for these little trees - I think because they're vector images. It worked fine with raster symbols.

Here's a corkboard I've made to keep track of my players' notes in a game of Call of Cthulhu.

I used the Cartographer's Annual 2013 material.

I'm impressed by the sheer variety of possibilities with CC3!

Hi everybody!

They say that you should start small and simple when designing maps... I ignored that advice and got rather carried away.

After heaps of help from the community, I've finished my first map in CC3! It's a cave network, with various remnants of monsters, smugglers and cultists (there are some guns/modern relics knocking about, so it works best as a 20th Century map).

Thanks for all the help, and it's been fun learning CC3/DD3!

I'll put a higher-res version as an attachment (if it works).

I've asked a few questions and wanted to give something back.... But am still rather new.

So here's a noob tip that's one of the most useful things I've learned:

The cave tool is useful for doing fractal textures, the floor tool is useful for doing straight textures, etc...

But they always default to a set sheet (so caves defaults to 'FLOORS' I think).

If you are working on a new sheet you've named ('eg Temple Floor, dirt'), it can be frustrating that the cave tool keeps defaulting back to the 'FLOORS' sheet.

If you want it to stick to the sheet you're working on, change your sheet's name to start with the 'default sheet's' name, eg:

'Floors, temple floor, dirt'

The tool will remain on a sheet that begins with the 'default' name (in this case 'floors'), instead of switching.

I hope that I've explained that clearly enough, and I hope it helps!

Hey, thanks for all the help everybody.

In the end I exported it in ~7000 pixel squares, then patched it together in an image editor.

Here's the compressed version.

Cheers!

I made this map very quickly last night when testing out some features. I really like the 'house' tool for CD3, it makes putting together little villages super easy.

I applied some effects with a graphic design programme - I'll attach both versions below!

Here's the nice, small jpg!

Hi all,

Is it possible to change the text size in the Info Menu > List?

On my monitor it's tiny tiny tiny - I can only just read it.

I'm actually getting to the point in CC3 where I can use it comfortably and do some pretty interesting stuff.

It's rewarding! And in no small part thanks to the community here, so thank you!

Sure thing - it happened after a CTD and I didn't notice for a while. If it happens again I'll let you know.

The .mnu files link to the icons to display there, like this:

#709,@Bitmaps\Icons\BTL_Structures.bmp:[Medieval Light Beaver Tail Roof Catalogs]|SYMICONMR;SYMICONFSET;6;

So that BTL_Structures.bmp file is in this folder:

C:\ProgramData\Profantasy\CC3Plus\Bitmaps\Icons

Has anything happened to the contents of that folder?
