  • Community atlas - Tombs

    In the Forlorn Isles - Justice Island. You would have to do a smaller area of parts of this region perhaps to put the long lost tombs.

    Again in the forlorn Isles - this time the Bleakness. any of those yellowish symbols could do.

  • Watabou City REVISED (annual 157)

    The first most important thing is to just export as a SVG the actual elements you want and cut out all the pretty stuff. It is, after all, the street and building layout that we really want.

    So ... in the generator, first check colour - make this either B&W, or Ink in the Presets.

    Next, click on Style in the generator, and make sure you check or uncheck the following. Whatever I don't mention, you can choose as you wish.

    1. GRAPHICS: Check thin lines, leave the rest unchecked.
    2. ELEMENTS: Districts Hidden. Check scalebar only (if you want it, leave the rest unchecked
    3. BUILDINGS: Roofs plain, leave Raised unchecked. Otherwise, choose what you want.
    4. OUTLINE: Check buildings, and UNCHECK water and roads. They will seem to disappear, but will be present in the SVG and thus DXF
    5. MISC: Check Solids; Uncheck Show alleys and Show trees.
    6. FARMS: Choose plain. Though you can exclude farms if you like and use drawing tools provided to put them where you want. However, the drawing tools will work on the farms if exported as Plain.
    7. For those interested, you can get the number of buildings and suggested population if you click on SETTLEMENTS. However, I think the population does not take into account density of population, nor multistorey buildings, so the population levels for larger cities can easily be double the suggested number in the generator.

    As you can see from the example map, I have done all that.

    Now export as SVG (and Png if you want).

  • Watabou City REVISED (annual 157)

    Now you must convert EVERYTHING (except background, Map border and screen, of course) from Line to Path (right click the Explode button on the left hand side of the screen).

    You will get something that looks like this!!

    Ugh!

  • Info, Count All command.

    If you have put things like chimneys, domes etc onto a separate sheet from the actual building, just hide all but the sheet that the actual building is on, and count that, eg using delete command, getting the number of entities picked from the command line, then press Cancel.

    Love the mountain. For me, the snow is still a little bit too blue (though I can always fix that with Alter Hue effect if need be).

  • [WIP] Marine Dungeons Lighthouse (more May Annual Stairs & Steps)

    And mangroves - needed for overland in Mike Schley style (which sadly neglects tropical regions), as well as dungeon maps.
