  • Sheets to Symdefs

    Doing sheets to symdefs is only intended to be used with symbol catalogs, and not maps, as it basically take each sheet and turn it into a symbol definition. This isn't easy reversible, because running the reversing command, symdefs to sheets, will not just turn those symbol definitions you made back into sheets, but it will also turn the symbol definitions of the actual symbols in the map into sheets, meaning they will disappear from the map. Considering you also said you deleted some symbols might also mean that you may have removed the actual content of the map, since it was reduced to symbols for the time.

    I am afraid that the only resolution here is to restore an earlier copy of the map from backup if you have any. You can try to post your .fcw here for someone to have a look at, but I am suspecting that when you saved the map earlier, it became unrecoverable.

  • Export lights to Foundry

    I'd just like to point out one thing here that may be of interest though. From the article Derek posted, several of the VTT's only supported it because the community wrote a script/importer/plugin.

    Community effort is a great thing, and for a thing like this, maybe someone in the community would consider writing their own add-on to CC3+ to support this? Of course, this does require a bit of programming, but if C++ doesn't scare you, all you need to get started is here:

    One should be able to gather more or less all the information needed by walking the drawing list and process the values.

  • (Help) How do you center on Cosmographer

    After making the map, you can use View -> Move Origin to put the 0,0 wherever you want. I recommend turning on snap and cursor snap to make placing it in the exact center more easily

  • How to I restore Style Defaults?

    The fills for the DD3 corridor/room tools unfortunately cannot be set via the style, so they will always be the same as last time you use them. You need to manually just pick different options in those fill style boxes before using those tools in a new map. Only fills from the current style should be listed there.

  • How to I make a Square Wall Without Gap?

    Basically two ways to handle it:

    • Don't start in a corner, start in the middle of a side length. As long as the starting and ending point is the same (as well as the angle of the two segments) it will meet up seamlessly.
    • Turn it into a polygon. Draw it as normal, but don't do the final connecting segment. The use Path to Poly [CLOSEPATH] on the wall you just drew.

    This is basically the way to handle this when you try to draw a closed shape with a line-type drawing tool, being city wall or dungeon room.
