Not sure why you can't change the colors here. I went through the instructions and it seemed to work as described for me.

Which color is it you have problem changing? The color of the costlines, or the background color?

I don't know about any videos or additional instructions, unfortunately, but the data is quite detailed, so you should be able to cut out the pieces you need and not use the entire world after importing it.

I've converted it.

If you have entities that are completely identical (same position, same properties), you have to select them by entity tag number (scroll down a bit on that page to find the specifics for that particular one).

And yes, the group tags you see in the list output is also an entity tag number, so you can delete a whole group that way. (Individual entities inside a group can only be selected if groups are unlocked, and the group tags can only be selected if groups are locked).

You can use the TRACED command to trace it automatically, but you do need to make a small config file change to work around a bug in the current version.

CC3+ should handle negative numbers just fine, just make sure there isn't an extra space between the minus sign and the number.

Also keep in mind that you have two options when typing coordinates.

Either you type the destination coordinates outright (112,45 or 112,-45 etc.), and in that case you don't use negative numbers since all the coordinates in the map are positive (except some special templates)

Or, you use the relative coordinates for a relative movement from the move origin, in which case you prefix with @ and negative numbers means downwards and leftwards (ex @10,20 or @-10,20 or @-10,-20 etc.)

When you make a map in CC3+ and insert symbols and fills the proper way (i.e. use the provided symbol catalogs and drawing tools), the map will reference the CC3+ data directory. This means you can move the map wherever you want (even to another computer, as long as the products are installed) and it will still work (Even if the data directory is installed to another location on that other computer). The only important thing here is to NOT move around the art files inside the data directory, they need to stay where CC3+ put them

When you manually insert files, like a bitmap for tracing, it is usually either inserted with an absolute path, meaning if you later move the bitmap anywhere, the map won't find it and you get a red X, or a map-relative path, which means you need to keep it in the same relative location as your map (usually the same directory) and move both when you move one.

If an example map shows red X's, it is because it use stuff from a product you haven't installed.

You can always figure out where things are supposed to be by using the Info -> List command on the entity with the red X, or if it is a symbol, open symbol manager, find it in the list, and hit the list button.

More about file paths.

If a command seems stuck, it can also help just hitting the Esc key a couple of times.

I am unsure why it is happening, but it does seem like it is a problem with translating the colors from the website into CC3+ colors, so they all end up at the default. I couldn't get it to behave myself, so I've asked those that knows more about this than me to look at it.

But, I did notice that if you use the "generate script file" option from the import dialog, you get a script file you can run to make the drawing. And the advantage here is that this is a text file you can edit. The first part of it is all the polys for the borders, and you'll noticed they are all prefixed by a COLOR 15 statement. You can then simply edit these, changing them to other color numbers, and then run the script file from inside CC3+ (Tools -> Macros -> Script File). You'll be editing a little blind since it is difficult to envision the look of the polygon from these candidates, but at least you can just keep the script file, tweak it, and re-run it....

Actually, that large tree in the top left looks to be a square to far to the left :)

Wonderful seeing these old maps converted to a more modern format (Although the old ones are nice too). Maybe some more furnishings in the rooms would be nice though?

Haven't tried it on 2022, but I frequently run it on 2019, which is quite similar in most respects, and it runs like a charm there.

But running it remote do introduce a fair bit of extra input/display latency, especially since you won't get that much use of RDP's bitmap caching feature when working with CC3+.

Also note that installing it on a server in a datacenter can also be against the license agreement. (Installation and use. You may install a copy of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT on up to three personal computers (PCs) at one address (including laptops normally kept at that address) for non-concurrent (not used simultaneously on more than 1 PC) and non-commercial use.)
