  • Lighting Issue

    Have you remembered to add the Wall Shadow, Point Light Finalize effect? Lighting doesn't start working until this effect have been added.

  • New Humble Bundle

    The WBC is a collection of previous published articles. They have been cleaned up, organized, and formatted for publishing in a pdf format, but they don't contain any new information from the original articles. It's a mix of articles that talk about word building in general, and articles that focuses more on the CC3+ side of things.

    There's also some additional tutorials bundled with it which I haven't been able to look over, but I believe those are sourced from the annuals.

  • Changing road width

    Anything that makes two entities do it by adding both a main entity and the outline. In Sue's first screenshot above, you can see there are two buttons, "Properties", which lets you change the settings for the main entity, and Outline, which lets you change settings for the outline entity (Which doesn't actually have to be an outline, it was just named like that because that was it's initial purpose)

    When you are dealing with with and outline entities, just change it both places. Keep in mind that the values were probably just a tad different originally, so keep that difference in your changed versions.

    I notice if i translate the text, i have a english white text in the background. How can i change it?

    This is because these maps were made in CC2, before things like effects. So to have a outline on the text, it is actually two text entities with the exact same text, one with regular filled text, and the other set to only show the outline. This was done to make the text more readable.

    However, this means that you will need to do the edit twice, once for each text entity. If you have trouble selecting the right one for edit, try hiding some of the TEXT layers (either everyone marked OUTLINE, or everyone NOT marked as such.

    As Wyvern said above, it is better that you start your own topic if you have any follow-up questions that are related to your own work and not the atlas repair project.

  • How to Zoom to a specific %

    You can't zoom to a specific % because that concept doesn't really exist in CC3+. CC3+ is CAD software, and the content is always rendered to whatever size you select, there isn't a "full", "print" or "actual" size.

    With an image editor, zooming to 100% makes sense, because that means that each pixel in your image is being showed as the same size as a pixel on your screen, but CC3+ maps aren't expressed in pixels.

    For print size, that really depends on what scale and paper size you want to print at. As with showing on screen, print isn't a fixed size, CC3+ renders the output to match your print settings.

    Considering your screen is likely to be much larger than a sheet of paper (unless you are working on a laptop screen), zooming to show the same content that will be on your paper wouldn't really give a perfect view of how it looks on paper anyway, since the paper is so much smaller.

  • Transparency Acne - Lesson Learned

    This happens because the RGB Matrix effects is vulnerable to TA as well. It won't make gigantic holes, since it doesn't do any edge effects, but it still need to figure out what parts to color, so the same pixels that make giant holes with edge fade are left out by RGB Matrix, leaving the edge fade to produce the known and loved TA holes.

  • WIP: birth of the firedemon battlemap

    Are those lines 0-width lines? Try making them a bit wider, thin lines can disappear when output to an image, which again would prevent them from having any effect.

  • Executing a macro from the command line

    It is not possible to call such things from the command line. CC3+ wasn't written with batch processing in mind.

    You can talk to CC3+ from an external program using the Intercom interface however, which means you can send commands from an external program which are then run as commands inside CC3+. I don't have a tutorial for that on hand. Some information can be found in this old blog by @saunderl http://cc3-developer.blogspot.com/search/label/Intercom

    The second alternative is to make your own XP which opens up a lot of possibilities for expanding CC3+ with your own code. I don't think you'll be able to implement more command line options or prevent the gui from loading though, those things are (most probably) beyond what an XP can do.

  • Question re scale.

    One way you could approach it is to decide the size of the average house. A medieval or earlier house for commoners were usually a tiny affair, often no bigger than my living room. Then, based on your house size, so you can used that against the sketch to determine size.
