  • Way to copy effects?

    The Copy and Paste buttons to the right of the effects panel, below the Add Edit and Delete buttons, will copy whichever effect(s) you have highlighted at the time, and then paste them in whichever sheet you have active.

    The copy button is only active when you have at least one effect selected, and the paste button is only active once you have copied something.


    You can also copy and paste effects between sheets in different maps as long as they are open side by side. (I've never tried it by closing the first one and opening the second one).

    Thank you, Jim. That's very useful ?

  • PNG Export sometimes duplicates a couple lines?

    Oh, I see it now. And its something I remember mentioning a very very long time ago when I was trying to get a rendered map that was about 10,000 px square done - only I didn't realise it was actually a repeated line. I just called it an 'artefact', I think.

    I don't know how you stop it, but the thing that helped me back then quite a lot was increasing the depth of the passes CC3 does as it scans across the map from side to side during rendering. There are fewer of these artefacts then, and if you are lucky and don't go too massive you can do the whole map in a single pass.

    EXPORTSETMPPP asks for and adjusts the Maximum Pixels Per Pass. Type it on your keyboard and hit Enter. Check the Command Line Prompt. It will tell you 4000000 (4 million). Type 40000000 (40 million), and hit Enter, then try rendering again.

    Fascinating! I really like the night time version :)

    I hope your GM appreciates all the effort you have put into getting it done.

    It's looking hugely different. You've clearly done a lot of work with the sheet effects. Those are always what really makes a map in the end.

    That's me all over!

    I'm the guilty party here. I keep adding more stuff myself. But I've had to stop it now, or I will just get bogged under and then you will end up with a really unbalanced set.

  • Seeking advice/tips re: world mapping with FT3/Wilbur

    Yes. Try not to move the map at all if you can help it.

    Maybe have another whole continent that nobody knows about because it's beyond the scope of current ships?

  • Seeking advice/tips re: world mapping with FT3/Wilbur

    Yes, probably :)

    It's one of the weird quirks I have. If names of things end with similar sounds I tend to get them mixed up just as easily as when they begin the same way. For example Miranda and Mirabel, or Atlantic and Pacific. I think it might be a peculiar form of audio-dyslexia (a name I invented just now to try and label this phenomena to make it easier to understand). It's a bit like spoonerism, but more severe.

    It looks great, Raiko. I wouldn't bother making it tidier.

    Sorry, Mike!

    I'm usually the one with that problem, but for some reason I'm ok with the Gaea view window.
