    depending on the render the floor below is either too well lit or totally dark.

    Have you configured the glow/shadow effect to be in percent of view width perhaps? That really messes things up when you view from different zooms, or make different sizes exports.

  • Select catalog setting window every time I click on wall features (or any other type of feature)

    Which dungeon style are you using? If you use the CC3 dungeon style, that's just a vary simple cutdown dungeon style intended for people not owning DD3, and it don't have catalogs for all those dungeon buttons. When using this style, the filters from your previous map would be retained.

    The DD3 dungeon style is fully featured, and should have all the appropriate catalogs and filters.

  • Is there a way to get a handrawn look for the grid?

    Do you have the 2020 annual? Dyson Logos style "Inked Dungeons" appeared in the April 2020 Issue. Here the floor grid is made using a scalable hatching made up of polygons to be able to create variable width "lines" that look handdrawn.

  • Morta1337y

    Welcome to the forums Morta1337y.

    Map looks nice so far, but parts of it do look a little bit empty. Some of those empty sea areas can be made "disappear" simply by throwing in a map title, a compass rose and a scale bar, empty sea is a good place to put those.

    It is also a bit difficult to get a good look, since you've only included such a small version. Higher resolution images makes it easier to see the map properly. I recommend about 1000x1000 for inclusion in a forum post.

  • [WIP] Atlas Competition Entry - Coils of the Cold Coroner

    Looks good so far

    The first idea was to have a dungeon which would culminate in an encounter with a Lovecraftian creature who will, of course, be cold-themed.

  • CC3+ install major fail

    What where the problems with moving the symbols? CC3+ symbols/fills can be anywhere you want them. The location of the CC3+ data directory is specified int he file @.ini in the CC3+ installation directory, and that location is set in the installer (but you can also just edit this file manually later and then move the folder manually). There is nothing in CC3+ that forces the data directory to be on the C drive, although that is the default location. I've moved this folder many times without any issues.

    The only issue may be if you have made symbol catalogs yourself (or just inserted image files directly in the map without using symbol catalogs). In these cases, your existing maps may have hardcoded paths to the C-drive instead of the relative path CC3+ uses in it's own configuration. Custom symbol catalogs should always be defined with relative paths as LordEntrails points out above.

  • New Mapmaker, can't print consistently?

    Exactly. The first one is printed with effects on. The other with effects off. You should see the difference visually on your screen too, not just on printouts. Use :CC2SHEETS: to turn on/off.

  • How do I make floor tiles match the size of my grid

    The tiles aren't made to fit the grid, but if you change the scaling of the bitmap, you should find a value that should let it match up pretty well.

    Just click the fill style indicator in the top right of the program window, and in the dialog, go to the Bitmap Files tab. Now, in the dropdown, find the fill you are looking for, and then changed the width and height scale values in the bottom right of the dialog.


    The numbers are part of the grid. Probably the simplest is to just erase the current grid (You may need to unfreeze/thaw the HEX/SQUARE GRID layer first, and then add a new one using Draw -> Hex or Square Overlay, making sure to uncheck labeling.
