  • Printing vector drawings as vector?

    You've stumbled upon the very first issue I had myself when upgrading from CC2 Pro to CC3 when that was new. I still miss that functionality because making zoomable pdf files was great.

    Joe has already covered why it has to be like this in CC3+, but if you have a pure vector map with no effects in it that you need to print this way, remember that the FR Atlas IS a general purpose viewer (as you already saw). You can open files created in CC3+ there. Effects and raster artwork (both symbols and fills) will be missing obviously, but if you only need the vector entities, that works just fine.

  • Contoursm not working for me anymore

    Have you tried using TRACED instead. Maybe it'll work better for you.

    Here's Austfiroir in the Atlas. Thanks Jeff.

  • New Computer, Old Data Library

    Run the CC3MenuConfig.exe found in the data directory.

    Or just run the latest update again (Just tell it to continue if it insists you already have a newer version). The update will pull the latest menu config from the internet.

    The start of most of your rivers look a bit weird. Kind of looks like they simply start in the middle of the valley floor. Maybe get them all up into the the hills/mountains at the edge there, which is where they flow from I presume. The merging of the two flows of the lotus river also looks a bit too right-angle to me.

    Level of detail seems fine to me, but those settlement symbols look like they are a tad too small, they can be difficult to see in the final printed version. They are all named though, which makes this a bit less important since people will also be using that to identify them.

  • New Map Wizard not populating

    Did everything start working normally after you changed the map type and created a new map? That is, you don't have to do that every time you want to create a new map after the first success, right?

    I suspect the information holding your previous map type was somehow corrupted, and the dialog simply showing the top value selected as a default. Clicking back and forth, and then create a new map should probably reset that.

    But if it happens on every new map going forward, there may be something weird going on.

    Thanks.

    I am going to wait a bit with this one before I clear it. SS6 is still just in beta/pre-release, so I want to make sure it is 100% compatible with the final version when that is released in case any bugs are found that changes things.

  • Floorplan Templates Missing?

    The Floorplan category is mostly for modern florplans. For fantasy, look under dungeons, and for sci-fi, look under Cosmographer.

    From SS1-6, only SS3 have anything under florplans.

  • Looking for Symbols of D&D style Dice

    Also, instead of using lines with outlines, make two sets of lines, white lines on top of black lines. Make the black lines slightly wider than the white ones, and they will do the job of an outline without getting in the way.

    @Ricko Hasche I wasn't able to include the dragon map, as it contains unknown symbols. You'll need to edit it and replace these before I can use it in the atlas.

    Also, please make sure to check the scaling on your maps. A couple of them was badly scaled. For example, the scale bar in the Burned Emptiness was off, showing 200 while it should have been 100, while the actual map was correctly scaled (determined by looking at how it fit in on the overview map of the region). Some other maps had the opposite, where the scale bar values was logical, but the map itself was wrongly scaled.

    You can easily check that the map and the scale bar matches up by using Info ->Distance and just measuring along the length of the scale bar. CC3+ should return a value equal to the length of your scalebar, if not, one of them is scaled wrong. You then need to determine if it is the scale bar (if so, you can just relabel the length on it) or the map itself, in which case you need to re-scale it.

    I also believe that some of the maps have both a wrong scale bar and incorrectly scaled, as the length of the scale bar is correct when measured, but they don't seem to fit correctly in on the main regional map when plotted in at the correct size. This applies to the Hafr and Laugar maps.

    Note that if you need to make changes to the maps I have already included in the atlas, it is important that you edit the files from the atlas, and not your own originals as that would delete the work I have already done in integrating them.
