CC3+ - Lets Make an Overland Map

[@paueliasmondelo7759]

Hi! Congratulations and thank you for your help for us, the novices! I want to know how do you do to clean the ouside remains... (When you draw the mountains outside the mark)... Thank you and excusme for my English level!

[@JoshPlunkett]

I export to Gimp and clean the file up to the pixel points around the border.

@@JoshPlunkett ok... I do it with Paint... I have an other question... I try to follow all the steps for make a Menu with The Big Book of Maps, waiting for you video about this topic, and something is wrong... I make the menu, with de image from "Icons"... I create a file .MNC for menu and I import .PNG images to do an catalog file and I copy the rute perfectly, but it doesn't work... When I click in the menu it doesn't open nothing... Can you say me if you know what happen? May be is because a different version? Do you know when do you do a video about this topic? Thank you very much! I'm suscribe to your channel!

Always read about the learning curve with this, but your videos have convinced me to get this. Quick question (I am watching vids in order so may be answered later), can you adjust the size of the hexes you overlaid?

[@JoshPlunkett]

Yes hexes size can be adjusted. This is very flexible software. Thus the learning curve. I'm hearing cc4 is somewhere around the corner. Looking forward to that.

[@ivajdavis]

when choosing an overland map rexture, you seem to have quite a lot, is there a template library or something similar?

[@JoshPlunkett]

I have every annual available so that's where most of them come from.

[@christopherkelley7976]

I somehow removed the coastline from some of my landmasses, and i cant find out how to add one back, no matter how hard i search online. Can you possibly help me?

[@JoshPlunkett]

I'm back at work and free time is minimal. I recommend asking in the Facebook group or on the forums. Sharing you file will likely help.

[@snowman9980]

In the beginning, when he picks the size (200 x 200), what does those numbers represent? Miles or KM????

[@JoshPlunkett]

The style and type of map usually determines this. It's different depending on what you picked at the start.

[@skwest]

@@JoshPlunkett Well... what did those numbers represent _in this case?_

[@JoshPlunkett]

@@skwest no idea mate. I'm in Australia so chances are I picked KMs. This video is a few years old though and i don't recall the details.

[@skwest]

@@JoshPlunkett Greetings again. Thanks for taking a moment to respond. I really appreciated having this tutorial available, it gave me enough confidence to go ahead and order software. Back to the subject of "200 x 200", just knowing that it must be kilometers versus miles was a good start. For all I knew, it was something like grid squares, or such. For a lot of these mapping programs, that's how they measure the map, particularly if it is a map for a combat encounter. Anyway, that was the source of my own confusion. I assume that once I start using the software then that question will be answered for me. Cheers!

[@skwest]

Oh, and one other thing. I inferred from your accent that you were Australian, but, since your mapping output was right-side up, I assumed you must be somewhere in the northern hemisphere.

[@andrejtrotzki5592]

Hi Mr. I have got a problem: When I make my rivers and my seas they disappear when I zoom out. What is this for a devilish magic ?

[@JoshPlunkett]

If you zoom back in are they still gone? I'd wager a guess that you have them on sheets that are below the land. When you zoom in you also trigger a refresh of the program. Thus therefore puts the sheets where they are according to your setup.
