  • Community Atlas Project - Download information - Contributions Welcome

    The community atlas is a project where the ProFantasy community comes together and map out the complete world of Nibirum for everyone to use. Here, we provide all kinds of maps, from world maps to continent maps to area maps to city maps to dungeon maps and much more, and they are all hyperlinked together in an interactive atlas.
    Anyone who wants to can download this atlas. The files in it are in the Campaign Cartographer 3+ map format, meaning you can easily edit the maps for your own use, to make the maps better fit your world, or you can just use it as it is, either using individual maps, or just adopt the world mapped in the atlas as your own campaign world. You can also use the maps for inspiration, and examine them to figure out how they were made. And all the maps are hyperlinked together, meaning you can navigate through the world, they are not just a bunch of random maps.

    The maps in the atlas are mapped by a wide variety of community members of different skill and style, and the maps in the atlas reflects this as well. And we are always looking for new maps to the atlas, so please consider contributing. Contributing to the atlas is a great way of testing out that latest annual style you wanted to try, to experiment with your styles, or just get some additional mapping experience. And everyone is welcome to contribute, you don't have to be a CC3+ expert.

    Download

    The atlas can be downloaded from the Community Atlas Project web site. From here you can download the complete atlas package with all the maps made so far, over 400 in total.
    You can also browse the maps on the website and download high-resolution png versions for use outside CC3+.
    The website does contain a search facility if you are looking for something in particular, for example a city map, and you can download individual .fcw files if you prefer instead of grabbing the complete atlas.
    These maps are available to use freely for personal use, check the License Agreement for details.

    How to contribute

    Anyone is welcome to contribute to the atlas. Basically, you just find an area that hasn't been mapped yet, then make a request here in this thread to be assigned that area. Once confirmed, you can start mapping it. More details and requirements here.
    Also remember, this project is intended to be a long-term project. If you don't have the time to contribute this month, consider doing it next month. And there is no time-limit for finishing your maps, take the time you need. (Note that all reservations do get removed after 12 months. If you need more time than that, that is still fine, but you need to tell me about it to extend your reservation)
    While working on a map for the atlas, we'd love to see you post your progress in the forum to get comments, feedback and suggestions for your map (Please start a new thread though, this thread isn't for individual map discussion.)

    A note about styles

    This atlas contains maps in a wide variety of styles. Some maps works fine in the base CC3+ product, other require specific add-ons. This means that there will always be some maps that you cannot open unless you own all the add-ons for CC3+. For these maps, you won't be able to edit and manipulate them in CC3+, but you can still use the exported images found in the online map browser. The map notes for the map will tell you which styles was used and which products are required, so you can get this product if you want to view the map or make maps in this style yourself.

    Please contribute and help make the atlas better, we always need more maps :)

  • What have I done to my bitmap settings?

    This happens when you try to access a set of tools that doesn't match the current template. By default, only the fills required for the appropriate tools for the styles are included in a map. Change that style setting to the appropriate style of your map, and you should see that the tools work fine.

    If you want to use tools from another style, make a new map in that style, then in your current map, use draw -> insert file, pick your new blank map and hit ok. Once the map is on the cursor, ready to place, hit Esc. This will import the fills from that style into your current map.

  • Three questions

    1. Check the size of your effects. It is quite possible that the roads are on a sheet with a strong edge fade. If the edge fade is wider than half the road, it will disappear. You can check which sheet your roads are on using the Info -> List command. This is useful to make sure they are on the sheet you believe them to be on. Then check the effects for that sheet.
    2. The trees have their groups set up for random selection from the group. I wrote a blog article about that last month, which you can find here:

    3. Right click the :CD2STREET: button to access the options, where you can control this.

  • Grid size after Resize Drawing Area?

    That shouldn't really happen unless there is something wrong with the MAP BORDER layer in your map (entities on this layer determine the extents on your map).

    For the grid, the easiest workaround is to just click the "select points" button in the dialog instead of Apply, as this lets you manually set the location of the grid. Make sure Snap is on so you hit the lower left corner precisely.

    You'll want to check the MAP BORDER layer for entities though, as wrong entities here may also act as an edge for drawing tools. Normally, this layer should only have a few lines that determine the edge of the map.

  • Guide: Posting & Post Editors

    The Text Editor

    This is the editor to use if you don't want any kind of formatting.

    Everything you write with this editor will just turn out as plain text. It does not support any kind of formatting. Emoticons stay as plain text, and links are not automatically parsed into links, nor is there a way to make them links manually. It doesn't support attachments of any kind. Quotes can still be used, and appear as in plain text emails, i.e. with a > prefixing each quoted line.

    I guess this is still a Wysiwyg editor, because all you see is plain text, and all you get is plain text :)
