It's the festive season again!

Matching the holiday spirit, this week Ralf will be using the Winter Village style along with lighting options to create a festive village square map.

Come join us live on Youtube for the live mapping show at the time indicated in the left margin of the forum, and join in the chat.

Or you can watch it here at any time after the show if you prefer.

I don't monitor this thread during the show, but if you have any comments or questions you can put them below if you missed seeing it live.

Yes, Remy has resolved that in the last couple of minutes. I've just created an album and uploaded an image.

LOL! I've just seen that my old fashioned smiles have been converted to something that looks like a giggle or a laugh!

My goodness!

What a lot of interesting information. And after all that I'm not even sure if I will have time to do any of these extra things, but we shall see.

Thank you, Mike :)

The app is free, but relatively primitive. "It's really heavy to steer." As my dad used to say of the Ford Zephyr we had. For you young-uns, that's the same type of car used as cop cars and smashed up in their hundreds in the Blue's Brother's film.

You can get the default palette back again by clicking the colour swatch on the properties bar at the top, and then clicking the "Use Default PAL" button.

Remy Monsen covers palette management in some detail in this blog article here:

Details on how to save and reload palettes are near the end of the article.

You shouldn't type so fast Quenten! :P

I meant it the first way - a great base map to start developing the rest of your campaign in a series of larger scale maps :)

I wouldn't think that a waterfall would be visible on a map at this scale. That would really be for one of the larger scale regional maps.

The cliffs have map files, which are set quite dark to simulate vertical faces.

The problem here is that I designed them originally for a much darker style than Cities of Schley, and never tested them with that style.

There are more cliffs to come in the bonus issue, so I could try to do something about it there.

@Shessar I just saw Ralf use an RGB Matrix Process sheet effect on the cliffs to turn them bright green on the live stream. Maybe that might help instead of having to deal with the issues that normally arise as a result of making symbols transparent?

(not turning them bright green, but using one to make them paler and more in line with Mike's colour palette)
