You're welcome, Don :)

Wow, that's large!

Lovely map :)

To keep the two parts of this project separated I've started a new thread here:

https://forum.profantasy.com/discussion/13068/forest-trail-project-part-2

The easiest way to test a symbol catalogue is to try making a new map with it. After a while it becomes more obvious that it is either already in the right order for everything to be convenient, or that a few changes might be necessary to avoid unnecessary searching.

Maps are good for distraction :)

I hope you feel better soon.

It may just be that those who want it have already bought it anyway.

You could contact Tech Support and ask for a refund - explain the situation.

Or maybe try offering it in the Facebook Group as well. Just as there are people on the forum who don't like FB, there are people on FB that never come to the forum.

Like I said earlier - you can take the effects off if you prefer water to be a specific colour. And yes, it does depend on what is underneath. Generally speaking muddy streams exist but usually there is some kind of stone, pebble or boulder stuff under a river that isn't too stagnant.

The trees are as large as they can be, given that they are already so large that they do noticeably slow the app down. They're probably among the largest symbols I've ever made. However, the cliff symbols in part 2 are even larger. I'm hoping they won't cause too many problems!

Oh yes - there is another riverbed fill in part 2 with boulders already in it. You can see it in the last screen shot I showed above.

There's a brown and cream tiled floor in DD3 if that will do? There may also be a better fill in Bogies Mapping Objects, but I haven't got them installed at the moment to be able to see. This and other free sets are available through links on this page: Free Symbols & Artwork — ProFantasy Community Forum

I think the reason high contrast floors are generally not favoured is it makes objects in the room a little harder to see against such a loud background.

There's no harm in using free online seamless tiles if the map is for personal use only, but if you intend to publish your map do remember to check usage rights. If none are specified it is safest to err on the side of caution.

Interesting points, EukalyptusNow :)

Ricko - good idea. Maybe. We'll see if there is time. I also want to have a crack at a couple of bridges in these last 4 days.

Hi Everyone :D

In this mapping session Ralf will be showcasing the Ancient Realms overland style from the 2015 Cartographer's Annual.
