In the bottom map you have a slight issue with the text being a bit invisible against the trees. If you add a white Outer Glow to the TEXT sheet it will wipe out the trees just around the letters so you can read them better.

(The text sheet will need to be under the parchment sheet, so that the white simply disappears)

If you are using a drawing tool to draw the polygon it might be restricted to operate only within the map border. No need to redraw anything. Hide everything but the sheet the border is on and use the move node tool |CC2DYNEDIT| to pick and move the nodes beyond the map border sufficiently for the visible part not to show within the map.

The first move might be guesswork, but when you show everything again you can adjust the new positions of the nodes you have moved. You hide everything the first time you move them so you don't pick anything else that happens to be aligned with the map border.

I love the new tokens Ale :D

Have you done the EDITSHADING part of it all on page 6? If you didn't they will be different shades depending on which way around they are facing.

Following a couple of requests from people wanting to know how to do one of these:

I have written a tutorial to describe the process, and attached it here as a pdf document. I have also attached the example FCW file used in the tutorial.

Have fun!

Hi Ute :)

It's Sue Daniel here ;)

Though I very much doubt that it contains anything you don't already know about, there's a thread that Remy Monsen created which lists all the available free stuff we collectively know about here:

https://forum.profantasy.com/discussion/10443/free-symbols-artwork

You might get lucky if you Google the required symbols - most people who sell them have to make the rights pretty clear up front, or have to put up with a constant stream of questions.

Open the Symbol Manager and pick any of the red X symbols. Then click the List button. The resulting blue box will contain the filename and location about half way down. That will give you the subfolder name, which should at least infer which asset pack may be missing or misplaced.

No. It's a serious comment.

This is my dream job.

That grey overlay...

Have you considered using a nearly black one and adding a Blend mode set to Multipy and about 15-20% to that sheet?

The reason I say nearly black is because a true black one would probably interract unexpectedly with some of the dark glows. The darkest grey, or the darkest brown should be ok.

EDIT: You might also want to put a Blur on it after the Color Key and before the Blend Mode to take out any sharp edges.

Hi Everyone! :D

In tomorrow's Live Mapping session, Ralf will be demonstrating how you can create your own vector symbols using the Dark Fantasy overland style as an example.

You can watch it here on the forum:

Or you can come and join us on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15w1kb7qGmI

It would be lovely to see you there :)
