Looks interesting. After you've finished, I suspect some users here might appreciate a bit of a tutorial type explanation of how you did it and where you got your resources.
-
Is this map visible somewhere?
-
We have tried to reproduce your issue but with no success. In the meantime, I'd suggest that you copy your desktop files over onto your laptop. There are no executable files in the group, so malware isn't an issue. The files are strictly PDF, PNG…

We'll look into this, but I doubt very much that there's a problem. Why? First of all, the Bogie and other Vintyri packages contain no executables. Second because we run all our work through Malware Bytes, which here in Germany at least is widely…

It looks like you've found a bug. I suspect it will be corrected soon. However, if you didn't remove your FM8 installation, you can simply copy the contents of the FM8 templates folder into the empty FM9 templates folder. Then restart FM9, and you…

Sounds good.

Greetings, Ed! All is well here.

One of the goals of our Jörðgarð project is to create material that GMs can modify and customize to their hearts' content. That's the reason why we distribute our maps in FM8 FMP format and our texts not only as PDFs but also in the editable OpenOf…

I'll wager that: 1) The symbol catalog is in a different location than when the map was made, and 2) the no embed flag is set in that catalog's default.xml file. The effect: The symbol is not embedded in the map but raher drawn out of the catalo…

Thanks!

Greetings, Mike! Great to hear from you again! When you have questions, I'm always glad to seek answers and pass them on.
-
I may. of course, be missing some important point here, but this outline-and-fill system seems to make no sense to me. Simply make fractal polygons with the fill pattern already selected over these areas. If these area objects block your view of o…

It's not clear to me at least exactly what you want to do when you say "how to shift the map north/south so I can see my polar landmass without a bunch of projection distortion."
-
In case you aren't already aware: You'll find very substantial material for space/sci-fi mapping in the FM8 versions of the CSUAC and the Dundjinni Archives. You should find suitable rooftop patterns as Ed mentioned too. These are free and licens…

I'm glad that you brought this up. It's something that I had intended to suggest to Ed Diana for FM9 and forgot. Being able to see the file name of a fill and also of a symbol at selection time would save a lot of time in some cases. As to your q…
-
@Levendor: Great suggestion. I too regularly have to use the Windows Explorer to pick symbols.
-
There are a number of programs into which one can load a map. You might want tzo look at the Skwyre discussions here in the forums.
-
I'm not sure what you're seeking. Most of us just sit down and write it.

We've also released a free, 220-page advanced tutorial (PDF) that deals with the methods for raster mapping with FM8. It should be used after the tutoril mentioned by Ed above. For more information, go to: vintyri.org/vintyri/tu1.htm

Hi, Ed! _From: Ed_NBOS Not sure about using the map symbols as mini's directly from an FM map. But that may be possible if FM had some means of marking which symbols should be considered movable minis, and which are just part of the background ima…

Post your map file (.fmp) so that one can see what's happened. Without looking at the map, there's little that anyone can do.
-
Which issue? More than one have been discussed above.
-
Ed has picked up work on FM9 again, so that probably explains why there are no new FM8 announcements. FM8 has been running clean and problem-free for a number of years now, so there are few support type postings.
-
??? FM is a current product, supported, etc., just like Windows 10.
-
There really is no need to buy tokens. The Dundjinni forum members have created more than 1,000 of them. They'll be available in FM8 format soon, when we release the free Vol. 2 of the Dundjinni Archives for FM8.

It looks to me like you didn't close your polygon. You have a leak at 2668.71, 3580.14. See the screen shot above.

Unlike at the forums of some other software companies, I think you'll find that chatter here is at a pretty low level because the NBOS software really runs well. As a result, the usual flow of my-this-won't-do-that postings is very limited. Most m…
