  • WIP Mad Wizard's Tower based on an adventure by MT Black

    Note that if you use the image function instead of the attach function when uploading them, you can also get the images to show directly in the forum post.

  • WIP - Tomb of Shadows

    Nice map, but the background repetition steals a bit from it. I would have tried either changing the scale of the background fill, or replace it with something that isn't so noisy, or maybe fade it out a bit (can be done by placing a polygon on top with one of the solid xx fills)

  • Favorite World Map Style?

    Mercator is honestly one of my favorites. Of course, it doesn't go with Schley at all, but since you are thinking different map levels here and not mixing them in the same map, I don't think that matters. I imagine my different maps and map levels being made by different cartographers, and don't have an issue at all with them being different styles.

    But there are so many pretty styles out there, and most of them works fine as world maps, it is usually more about limiting detail level when you map rather then a specific style needed for world maps.

  • Character Artist custom symbol catalog question

    Simplest is probably just to copy over the ones from the existing symbol catalogs. If you make sure to have snap on both when picking the origin point for the copy, as well as when you paste it into the destination, it is easy to place it in the precise correct location.

  • Catalogue symbols are all red crosses

    Basically, this means that CC3+ cannot find the image files used in the catalogs. The catalogs contains references to image files on disk, and a typical problem when you move computers is that you didn't put these image files in the same location on the new computer as the old one.

    If you made the symbol catalogs using relative paths, it should be enough that the location inside the CC3+ data directory is the same as on the old computer, even if the directory itself is in a different location, but if you used absolute paths in the catalog, the path to the images must be exactly the same as before.

    I wrote a blog article about it here. I talk about maps there, but the exact same applies to symbol catalogs (there's no technical difference between symbol catalogs and maps)


    Let us know if this helps you figure it out, or you need more help.
