  • Is there partial edge stripes?

    Keep in mind that line styles, just as fill styles, are on a per-map basis. It is not something that gets installed globally. This means that if you see a random option in the line style dialog or not, depends on if the template you started that had from had such a line style. It is not dependent on installing any particular annual or other product. These installations will never change anything in existing maps regarding line styles.

    I have files from the CC2 era with this line style in them. (Check @Tutorials\UserManual\Selection.FCW)

  • Cannot delete layer

    Note that CC3+ do also have non-drawing entities that you can't find in the drawing window, but still lives on a layer and blocks it from deletion. Map notes are one example that comes to mind. And there is no user-facing UI to figure out which entities these might be.

  • Cosmographer - save imported Traveller sector map as bitmap

    Well, since the map is 40.5 hexes tall, you can try to export it setting the height to 2025, just set the width to something ridiculously high, like 10000, and then make sure the crop image to aspect ratio is checked, this way the width will end up being whatever it needs to to fit the specified height.

    This should end up with a file that is 50 pixels for each hex, measured by the hex height.

  • Custom Toolbar Buttons issues

    The issue is probably the #-character, which refer to the installation directory, you want the @ which refers to the data directory, like this:

    #27,@Bitmaps\Icons\CONS.bmp:[Construction sheet/layer]{}|MCONS;

    (@ was new with CC3+, which means older instructions use # because everything was in the install directory then)


    And yea, you also need those number suffix files, those are for different toolbar sizes.

    Great work. I am also pretty certain that none of my players have above 12 INT, because they suck at puzzles. But what about the characters? They just as bad?

  • Map critique

    It's a nice map, but I think the Ironfist Mountains look a bit sparse right now. Unless it is the intention to have a spare mountain range, I would recommend placing the symbols closer together, making it more dense. Don't be afraid of some overlaps.

  • Help with Fonts

    If you have your old drive (you said it was a motherboard issue, so I would assume you do), all your old font files are safely tucked away on x:\windows\fonts on the old drive (where X is whatever drive letter it might end up with) and can just drag them into the fonts folder on the new PC.

    I also like the way you've created a unique history that still draws upon D&D tropes (standard races, Tiamat, etc) but gives them a new interpretation.

    I've found that it is easier to make things relatable for both me and the players when building on existing building blocks where they exist. Getting into and appreciating a new world where everything is different is pretty hard. So my races are actually pretty standard, I just gave them a nice backstory that slots neatly in with the history of my world.

    As for religion, I adore the idea that several characters were paladins of Marcus, and are going to find out over time who and what their god actually is. I imagine the role playing on that is going to be a lot of fun!

    Yea, it was. They went from burning heretics (followers of the old [true] gods) on the stake, to becoming followers of them themselves and murdering the high priests of their old religion [Said high priests are now clearly evil, so not a violation for the paladin to off them]. The paladin (They were 2 priests and 1 paladin) was the first to turn, he started seeing issues and starting learning more about the old gods in secret. We had great fun with the last priest holding on to his religion for a long time, claiming that it was all the other followers of the religion in the world that had turned from the true faith and needed to be terminated.

    I think we've all been there, starting new projects when we have this other one that is still waiting for us to complete it.
