Love the map, but the coastal edge striping feels a bit harsh for me in those narrow waters. Have you considered fading it out a bit?

Yea, I think that looks much better.

Which box is used depends on which menu set is in use. The newer version (2-lined one) is used in the menus for some newer add-ons like SS4, while you should see the old one in for example the standard overland menus.

Basically, these are two different commands, DISTANCE and DIST2. You can always ensure that you get the one you want by just typing the right command into the command line instead of using the menu.

As an alternative, you can edit the affected menu files in a text editor (the .mnu files in the CC3+ data directory) and just replace all instances of DIST2 with DISTANCE in there.

Sorry, yea, it is supposed to be DISTANCE. I didn't have access to CC3+ when I wrote the answer, so it came from (faulty) memory.

Macros can be added to menu buttons just like any other command. In fact, many of the commands on the existing buttons are actually macros, and not built-in commands.

In general, the advice to make a hotspot is usually in connection with making a macro that is intended for a single map/map style. You generally don't want to fill your toolbar with rarely used buttons.

Me neither. I have seen a handful of his movies, but not that one.

To answer the original request, no, this forum doesn't have any built-in chat features or online indicators. It would take quite a bit of development effort to add something like that.

Never seen anything like that shrinking before.

As for the Large Exports, you can just edit the script file found in the annual folder (@Annual\Issue 129 - Large Exports) with notepad or similar. Near the very bottom of the file, there is this line:

RUNAPP @Annual\Issue 129 - Large Exports\tile.cmd

This is the line that calls that windows batch file that does the stiching and deleting of the output files. Simply remove this line from the script, and that batch file will never be called.

(An alternative is to edit the batch file and remove the commands you don't want, but I find it better to edit the script file as you can then have one copy of the script file with this line and one without so you can easily use it both ways)

It does almost everything I need to, and it is blazing fast. With most modern image editors, I am sitting around waiting for those things to start, even on a pretty beefy machine. PSP7 just appear on my screen instantly.

(Related, my image browser/viewer is ACDSee 2.42 from 1999. Most of my software is not this old, but somehow I am really pleased with the old image editing/viewing stuff.)

Are you sure you picked the right option? The dialog in your screenshot is the one you get when you pick Cosmographer -> Multi-Deck Tools -> Manage levels [FLOORPLANADD], while the dialog in the guide is still the one you get when you pick Cosmographer -> Multi-Deck Tools -> Copy To Level [FLOORPLANCOPY]
