@Kertis Henderson

You misunderstand me (refer to my intial post).

I have absolutely no issue with CC3+ (other than it is not a cross platform application😉) and have used it for commercial and personal projects, as my gallery will attest, over the last four or so years. It allows me to make maps quicker and of far superior quality than anything I could produce using traditional or digital (Photoshop, Illustrator and the like) drawing tools.

My comments refer specifically to WINE, that is the ‘stable’ version I mention. To be fair, they are a bit harsh as the WINE documentation makes it clear it may not work with all programs. In my opinion, the latest 'stable' version of WINE should include the installation of additional components, particularly those required for known issues. If it does not, there should be comments to that effect, i.e "Note: Some versions of InstallAware may generate a run-time error, if this occurs please download and install VC Runtime blah blah blah".

As I said, I am no longer as computer 'savvy' as I once was, hence my comments. After your suggestion to download and install VC Runtime I Googled it and came across the post I linked. After reading that post, I decided that it was 'too' hard for me.

I am currently working with our IT support company to resolve my remote access issues, which if successful, will make this whole discussion moot.

Not sure, I deleted it. but I used the latest version from WineHQ 9.something?

I also downloaded and installed VCRUN2019 before re-installing the trial version of Crossover and got the same runtime error.

The wife and I are away for the weekend; I’ll try CC3+ on the laptop and see how that goes.

Thankfully, my Remote Desktop issues have been sorted, so I can leave things as they are.

Well, I'm going to say my issues were likely 70%-30%, maybe 80%-20%, user v machine. My Mac does suffer from performance issues and has done since new (my new HP mini desktop at work is blisteringly fast in comparison); I think it's time to do a complete re-install of the OS and them migrate selected APPs and data from my Time Machine Back-up.

Part of the problem I think is that I copied my old Mac in it's entirety when I set up the new one so there's probably lots of rubbish in places I'm unaware of causing issues. I timed the startup process after a shutdown last week and it was well over 4 minutes - that's not right.

Must've had a power outage at work over the weekend, as my work PC was off. So, to ensure I have reliable access, I installed the base CC3+ on my work laptop last night as a test and it's fine, I'll be doing the full install. Just have to get used to the smaller screen - there'll no doubt be lots of zooming in...

As a short-ish (1.7m, > 100kg) 'fatty' I find this type of body shaming offensive. Those of us too short for our weight can't help our genetics - though our poor dietary choices and lack of exercise are another matter!

BTW: This post is not to be taken seriously, I am kidding around, poking a bit of fun at those folk who take offense far too easily. Feel free to delete if it's unacceptable - I won't be offended.

Well, as this is the GM version, there are no secrets as such; Mist & Fog, the P is Poison.

Thanks Joe,

I think that will do the job. I’ll move the colour wheel and edge lines to separate sheets, that will give the definition Im after and not affect other symbols that should be on the Symbols flat sheet. I’ll make some sheets for the highlights and shadows for the depth.

At its actual size in the drawing that should look pretty good.

Beautiful. Just checked your gallery, awesome work @Arcwynd !

I use the Colour Key effect all the time on my dungeon maps. For commission work (which I've been very slack with recently, sorry Dave, I will get them done!) my basic methodology is:

Insert sketch, Draw walls, Wall Mask complete drawing (add COLOUR KEY effect to sheet), place WALLS sheet below the WALLS MASK sheet so the walls are on top, trace non-secret rooms, change layer for secret rooms (GM Only ususally) and then trace them. Move sheets so Mask is back on top of walls. Quick and easy depending on complexity of the map. Then it's the more time consuming part of stocking the Dungeon...

Mate, that is a sensational map!

The transitions between fill styles, manifique!

This is one of the best overland maps I've seen in CC3+. Well done!
