This is more a result of "Trial on Error" than actually knowing what I am doing exactly...?

...it is a floating wash tub by the way - not a pile...?

@Loopysue of course - the piles will get transparent, too - did not think about it...

(but you could add a new sheet with the shape of piles beneath the one with the actual pile symbols and add both effects (edge stripe & transparency) to the new sheet - or am I thinking to much out of the box and missing something... ?)

"but I wasn't sure exactly how edge stripe works - whether it uses the whole pattern or just the edge pixels."

I have asked myself the same question a couple of times.

So - does somebody know how the striping effect works more exactly --- maybe @jslayton?

@Lillhans Congratulations! I like your map and your special technique.

I think that all participants did their best!

...and still there are some more interesting maps that did not make it in time out there ?

This is area 6 for submission. Bow of Promises Street - your way from or to the harbour of Dunor.

The .FCW includes the night version that can be viewed in my gallery or in this discussion:

@Loopysue - I have now changed the the chimney smokes - thank you for your advice, Sue!

As @Wyvern points out it has to do with coloured symbols - the tend to be somehow self-luminous in the night... ? ...and I did misread your comment: can't even see the stairs at night What stairs? ? Oh - stars, I see...?

Added some more details to the properties - some more things to explore/discover "behind" the houses...

So, I think I have kind of cleaned up my sheets and effects. The only Atlas-incompatibility are my "stripes" but I can post the edge-stripe image as well - it has to be put in the Filter->Images Folder. @Monsen Is that ok Remy?

I will submit the day version "only" - but it contains of course even the night version.

This is how you turn day into night..

BUILDING WALLS:-> Check both Wall Shadow effects

BUILDING OTHER:-> Check RGB Matrix Process -> Change Transparency from 50 to 5

SYMBOLS:-> Uncheck Wall Shadow, Directional -> Check RGB Matrix Process

For all the following LABELS, BACKGROUND HIDE, TEXT HOUSE NAME, TEXT HOUSE USE, MAP BORDER PACK, CARTOUCHE -> Check RGB Matrix Process

@Monsen Where to put this instruction?
