  • Commission WIP!

    I think that is a wise choice, though it might be an idea to get an ok from the customer before you go too much further.

    Just one suggestion about the map right now is to reduce the shadow from that cliff quite a bit - length, depth and blur the edge more. It looks a bit like a floating island at the moment. If you want to keep the length, then make it not so dark and give it more blur.

    Of course I can :)

    Which style did you start with? Is it SS4?

    Another lovely map, Ricko :)

    You can limit the extent of the grid by adding a Color Key effect on the GRID sheet and drawing a polygon of magenta over the bits you don't want, or you can hide everything except the GRID and FLOORS sheets and use the floor to trim all the grid lines.

  • I Lost My Screen Border that Hides Symbols and Land/Terrain Fills

    You're welcome :)

    All I did was draw the white polygon. That's the only difference. I figured that I could sort the sheets into a more logical order for you, but I decided not to mess with them, because my logical order probably won't be the same as your logical order.

    If you want to make the screen broader I recommend temporarily changing the view window colour to something other than white so that you can see what you're doing. Go to View->View Window Color and pick it.

    Look at the command line and it will say:

    "color #[15]:"

    That's white. Remember that so you can go back to it.

    Type 0 (zero) and hit enter. That will turn your view window black, so that you can see the white polygon on the SCREEN sheet.

    Now that you can see it you can use the node move tool to pick the corners and move them outward to wherever you want them to be. Turn snap on and you can have everything neat and tidy.

    I don't recommend using huge fat wide screens because if you zoom to extents you will get an awfully wide swathe of white space and your map will be tiny. It may be worth the time and effort of editing that one piece that sticks out to tuck it under the existing screen.

    When you have finished adjusting the screen you can change the view window colour back to white the same way that you turned it black.
