  • Where to look for the CA107 symbols

    Since those two issues are part of the same style, everything is grouped together under the CA106 banner. If I remember correctly, CA106 itself didn't come with any tokens at all, all of those where added to the style by CA107.

    The tokens comes in two varieties, full color, and monochrome. I am not usre why, but the monochrome version doesn't seem to be in the symbol catalog for some reason, but you can find them if you point your symbol catalog window to @Symbols\Maps\Ancient Realms\Sites to load the .png's directly instead of the symbol catalog.

  • How would you create a fantasy port/harbour rpg battlemap?

    Looks like a typical dungeon-style maps (DD3 or SS4).

    My best advice when starting out is to make sure to scale the map correctly from the start. Many people mess up and try to scale their maps in inches, pixels or other weird mesaurments, but keep in mind that map scale in CC3+ should be set to real world units, so if that grid visible in your map is a typical 5' grid, you should make the map 125 by 75 feet (if I counted the grids correctly). (If it is in meters, just start a metric map instead an input the proper metric distance)

  • Problems with CC3+ 3.94 crashing...

    Not really related to crashing, but that image of yours isn't the best to trace. You don't really want those narrow rivers represented as holes in your landmass. Same with lakes really. (There are some advantages to doing it that way, but in general it complicates things.)

    Honestly, I am a bit confused about that image, my mind can't really process it. If the white is water, your landmass in black loos really odd with those straight water section north and south, and if the white is landmasses, then what is the white lines? But in general, when you are using traced, you'll want to start with just the landmasses. Ocean and rivers can then be made as a separate polygon in a separate pass.

  • CC3+ Art Asset Ownership

    That's more a question about how you use the files as the file format itself. None of those files are merged by default, they keep their layers, so if a layer contains a single symbol (or multiple symbols but spaced out from each other), it is easily extractable from the file, but if the layer contains multiple overlapping symbols, then they aren't isolatable anymore.

    Of course, if you merge all layers/flatten the file, then it isn't an issue, but that isn't commonly down with the file in those format, you only provide a flattened export when exporting to a common image format.

  • CA167 Fills with map started with CA163?

    Due to the way fill styles are defined on a per map basis in CC3+, old maps won't automatically have new fill styles.

    Use Draw -> Insert file, and pick a new map that does contain the style. Now, with the map to insert on your cursor, simply hit Esc, and the fills will be inserted, but not the map itself.
