  • How do I find out a symbols current color?

    You can find that and a lot of other information as well by using the List command in the Info menu.

    Pick List, and then select the symbol and press D for do it. That will bring up a blue window with all the relevant details.

  • Howdy ! from Jim P

    Another pretty awesome profile!

    I feel like I've done nothing with my life in comparison with others now! LOL!

    Thank you for sharing, Jim :D

  • Colour palette sharing

    Thanks, Remy :)

    I had a feeling you would say that. I was hoping there would be a much easier way to share - especially for newbies who aren't so familiar with the way CC3 works. I know that when I first started it took me forever to even realise I could change the palette - never mind transfer it from map to map by saving it as the custom palette.

    Next time Ralf or Simon ask for suggestions I'm going to ask if it would be possible to make CC3 load named palettes - the same way you can load named altitude palettes in FT3 :)

    EDIT: and also to be able to save palettes by name - eg "Brown", "Gold" etc.

  • Project Spectrum - Part 2

    Thanks Mike. That makes sense - a bit like a lawn goes brown in the dry weather but doesn't actually die (unless you are very unlucky).

  • 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.

  • Gamma Dawn Compound - First maps using CC3+

    Fascinating! I really like the night time version :)

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

  • Curse of the Crimson Crown (Pathfinder Adventure Path)

    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.

  • Project Spectrum - Part 2

    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.
