  • Is there a way to import a bunch of symbols at once?

    When you import symbols using Symbols -> Import pngs... it will do a folder at a time (note that it does not do subfolders, only the content of the folder you point it to)

  • Solid disappears after changing Fill Style

    Are you looking in the right tab of the fill style dialog? If you see "Solid 10", that indicates you are looking at the "bitmap files" tab of the fill style dialog, while "Solid" is on the "Brush Patterns" tab.

  • Info Menu List - text size

    Unfortunately not. A workaround is to access the system menu from the icon in the top left of the window and pick the save to clipboard option. Then you can paste it into your editor of choice and zoom in/enlarge it.

  • Help with crash while exporting

    I seem to be able to reliably crash it. Did some testing, and seems to be down to building 20. It is right outside the area, but to avoid weird effect clipping at the edges, the render works with a slightly larger area than you select for the export.

    Delete the building, and the export should go through. (You'll probably want to redraw it of course, but it is good just testing export once before that to make sure the problem is gone for you)

  • My First Map - Cthulhu Caves

    If you wish to upload maps in higher resolution than supported in a forum post, you can upload them to your gallery.

  • Export separate sheets

    Sorry, no, CC3+ doesn't support transparency on exports. This is no exception.

    Since you can't get sheet status (hidden or not) from a macro, you can't easily export just visible sheets this way, this takes all of them. I guess you could ask the user for each sheet, but that would be annoying and I've found that throwing up dialogs between exports seems to sometimes be crash prone. Best solution would probably be to make a copy of the drawing, then delete all the irrelevant sheets from the copy and just let the macro do them all.

  • Vintyri, CSUAC, et cetera

    You're talking about new versions of the 3rd party CC3+ addons, which seems to indicate you already have (some) of them installed? If so, how old are your installs? While there have been some minor updates released, these have been mostly to fix certain issues, the collections haven't changed in a long time.

    If you have one of the very old versions of the CSUAC, then it is probably best to remove that one before installing the updated version. It is not absolutely required, but it saves you from potential confusion in the future. But a clean install shouldn't be required.

    However, you may want to make sure that it is your installation and not the map that is the problem. If it is an older map using the old version of the CSUAC, then maybe you already have the newer version, and reinstalling isn't really going to help you with anything.

  • Having trouble with drawing tools in DD3

    Whether it displays the "Add Corridor" tool or the "Select Drawing Tool" dialog depends on which menu bar is used. When SS4 was released originally, it was before the DD3 tools were added as a standard part of CC3+, so it came with it's own set of toolbars so people could use it with the standard drawing tools even if they didn't have access to the DD3 commands.

    Now, the reason your add corridor tool looks rather bare is because this tool doesn't automatically populate based on the style, you have to just pick appropriate options yourself. It is blank like in that screenshot, it is because the last fills that were picked are not defined in the current map, so it just displays blank, but you should be able to use the dropdowns to pick appropriate fills from the current map.

  • fill tool behaving oddly

    In addition to what Joe said, also note that your line width (LWIDTH) is set to greater than zero. Drawing tools from DRAWTOOLSP handles all that by themselves, but if you want to draw a filled poly and not just a hollow outline using the basic tools like SPOLY2, you need to manually set it to 0 first.

  • Creating houses without outer space

    I am a bit unsure what you mean here. Do you want to make the map smaller, so it fits snugly around just the house?

    If so, there are a couple of ways to do it. One of them is to use File -> Resize Drawing Area and make the map smaller. This will not move the house into position however, so the best approach is to use the :CC2MOVE: command to move the house and all it's components down into the left corner first. Just make sure to select everything so you move it all at once so you retain the relative positioning.

    Another option is to start a new map of a smaller size, then use clipboard copy (Edit -> Copy) to copy the house and and components to the new map.


    If you need to figure out the size of your house to input into the resize/new map dialogs, you can measure it with Info -> Distance.


    Of course, considering the shape of your house, there will always be a bit "outside" in the lower left part.
