Hi Everyone! :D

In our live mapping session this week, Ralf will be back with a demonstration of how to do a classical Western town in City Designer. Since we don't have a dedicated style for such a settlement, Ralf will be combining CD3 and DD3 assets in this mapping session to create a mostly wooden frontier town.

Come and watch the live session and join in the chat here:

Or if you wish you can watch it here, although there is no live chat on the forum.

Nice work :)

I hadn't thought of using the brick floors alongside the drainage ditches, but they work well.

I'm looking forward to seeing it :)

There's a very subtle difference. You can see the edge of the water a little more clearly.

How about just a plain old black polygon with one EFI set up like this?

Or even that plus the Glow Blur Radius doubled to 0.5?

Alternatively, how about importing the water texture from another dungeon style?

The location of any bitmap file is given in the Fill Style dialog box in the 'file' window.

If you want to add them to another map it's probably easier to use Insert file in the Draw menu, and pick the old map you mentioned but press ESC just before you paste it. Doing it that way will also import the correct scale from that old map.
