You'll never be able to upload that to Roll20. Image that size gets into the Gigabytes, and Roll20 only allows for files up to 10MB (5 for free account). That export size is just plain crazy.

You'll never be able to upload that entire map in battlemap scale to Roll20.
What I recommend is to upload a smaller overview map, and then do battlemap-scale maps of the areas where combat will take place, or other interesting features exist.

Note that if you really want an image that size, the only option is exporting in tiles. For that, Annual issue 129 is perfect for the job, which I used to export the City of Sanctuary. But realistically, you don't want to do that with this map, as you won't be able to use it as you are planning anyway.

For a basic export in CC3+, about 10kx10k is the upper limit. Depending on the map, it can be pushed a bit further, and some complex maps cannot even reach that, but it is a starting point for the max size.

People have different ways of doing things. Myself, I prefer to export the the CC3+ landmass directly from FT (as in the video).

Posted By: Stephan72My problem is now figuring out how to customize the map now that I've got it in CC3+.

Change Like Draw Tool is your friend here.

Just open the existing catalog files in CC3+ (open them in the main window, as a map, and not just in the symbol catalog window).

Now you can use Import png's to import new images, or if these images are already defined as a symbol in another symbol catalog, open that symbol up in the symbol catalog window, and click once on each symbol you want to import. When done, just hit save and you're done.

Hi Vorapsak, and welcome to the forums.


CC3+ isn't an image editor, and as such cannot work with your .png directly, but you can import it as a background image and then trace over it.

To import it as an image, simply use Draw -> Insert file. Note that before you do this, I recommend you make a new sheet to hold the image, and make this sheet the active sheet before importing the image. Having it on it's own sheet means you can more easily move it up/down in the drawing order (Sheets in CC3+ are analogous to layers in gimp, while layers in CC3+ is just a grouping mechanism, which doesn't control drawing order of entities.

Note that when inserting an image files, CC3+ only inserts a reference to the file, so once you have done this, you cannot move/delete the source file, otherwise it will just show up as a missing image (red X) in CC3+.

Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions about this. You'll also find some basic information about this starting on page 94 of the user manual (ignore that it talks about hand-drawn maps, the only difference between a hand-drawn one and one from an image editor is that you need to scan the hand drawn first to get it as an image)

Lorelei's Etrani Estate is now in the atlas. Thanks for yet another great set of maps.
