  • Can't find 1930s Travel Guides in Floorplans

    It has a few bitmaps in it. The main one is CA52 Paper Bitmap, but there is also a small selection of others in there that might actually be there by accident. They are more typical of a DD3 dungeon map.

    It's one of the volcano collection.

    They are much less convoluted. You could emulate that pattern using the Ripples, rather than the Ridges, or more ripples than ridges.

    I don't think your map looks bad at all. Maybe add some ripples in the larger gaps between the ridges?

    Ah yes. That works quite nicely, and you can chose not to add the striping to the rivers and lakes by not copying them across to the new sheet.

    Here is the modified example map so you can see how to do it.

    In it I have used the edge striping from Erdan Worlds. Some of you may not have that style, but you can locate an alternative in the C:\ProgramData\Profantasy\CC3Plus\Filters\Images folder.

    There is already a light blue glow set to inside on the WATER(ALL) sheet. You could make that wider? Be careful how wide and how pale, though, since that will be the colour of your rivers and smaller lakes.

    I tried an Edge Stripe. It doesn't work as expected. To do what you want you would have to turn the style inside out (ie, Land on Water, rather than Water on Land) - have the land on top of the water and the edge stripe on the LAND sheet (which is currently the BACKGROUND).

    However, that would mean you are back to having to trace the coastline with your terrain fills to keep the terrain on the land, and will probably have to greatly reduce the EFI on all the terrain sheets.

    This is the one big disadvantage of creating a Water on Land style. Coastal effects are relatively limited.

    Alternatively, if you are hell bent on having edge striping, maybe try duplicating all the land polygons from the WATER(All) sheet to a brand new sheet above the WATER(All) sheet, leave them pink and add first an edge stripe, then a colour key. I haven't done it myself yet, so it may not work.
