    LOL! It's just the name of the map I happen to have pasted the banners into.

    Hi grandula :)

    You're doing the right thing heading straight for the tutorials. the one in the User Manual is the best one to start on.

    What kind of maps are you thinking of? I know 'underwater', but what style? Are you talking about maps like navigation charts, detailed bathometric charts, or something else?

    That would be quite a challenge using any of the existing styles, not least because we don't actually have an underwater style as such.

    However, if you are prepared to make top view maps rather than isometric or perspective view like these we should be able to help you develop your own way of doing things.

    The wonderful thing about CC3 is that you can make your own styles with your own textures and symbols.

    Very engaging map and supporting work. You've done a beautiful job of the Heraldry :)

  • FT3 and The 2019 Annual "One Day Worldbuilder" - Issue with Wilbur steps

    It looks like you've got a good result despite early troubles :)

    The pasting in CC3 does take time, but that is because you probably have quite close to the maximum number of nodes for a CC3 map just wafting around on your crosshair. The great thing is that CC3 is nowhere near as crashy as some other software I don't care to mention (but which lost me several day's work just recently by both crashing AND corrupting the file for good measure), it just takes rather a long time to refresh.

    You can place the map by typing the origin coordinates on your keyboard and hitting enter once it is ready to be pasted - as you probably did, but then it takes a while for the refreshing to finish and the paste to complete. Patience is all that is required, though :)

  • FT3 and The 2019 Annual "One Day Worldbuilder" - Issue with Wilbur steps

    @CredePendrel - The settings should have been installed by the annual installer. I helped you with this on FB, but for the record here is the solution if the settings files do not appear.

    Check if they are listed in this folder first:

    @Program Files (x86)\ProFantasy\FT3\Export

    If they aren't there, go to this folder and copy them across:

    @ProgramData\Profantasy\CC3Plus\Annual\Issue 155 - The One Day Worldbuilder\FT3 Export Settings

    Then if you have FT3 open at present save your work and re-open it. The settings should now appear.

    ...

    I am not sure why they didn't get installed with the annual. It could be any number of things, like forgetting to install as the administrator. That one comes to mind first because the destination folder is a system folder, and requires admin permission before you can save anything in it.

  • Question re scale.

    In a situation like this, and having to work by the clock, I would probably pass the buck back to the client and get a definitive answer. That way, I don't have to spend any time worrying about it at all.

    Give the hill a wider Edge Fade Inner so that it blends with the ground better. It's a bit narrow at the moment, so it looks like the slope hits the flat bit at a 45 degree angle.

    Oh, about 80-90% more on FB than here, but you are all equally important contributors as far as I am concerned :)

    I could do a nice crossed banner design, though it will only be one and not several.
