Hi,
has anyone got any new brushes or stamps they want to share while we use Beta version of OWM? Self made or taken from the net?
I only have one set I can remember from my previous mapping attempts prior to OWM, from some bloke called Starraven? Its available on the net.
My greatest problem is that most of my previous mapping was done in non-PNG file standard and doesn't convert to easily used stuff in OWM.

Did you manage to collect some interesting icons ?

I struggle with the same thing and my search weren't very successful. I found this pack of rome era soldiers from a game mod:

V0.9.1 will add a lot of textures and skins artwork as well as presets and themes, but no "symbol" artwork. However, we are working with artists to expand our library of symbols over the next few months.

Thanks!

As my new question is related to Brushes/Features, thought i would just continue in this thread...
I have recently had to rebuild my PC and when I put OWM back on and my maps i had been working on i hit a problem. When i open an map i had started, which had my own features I created/gathered from outside OWM, I now get a message saying "Unavailable font" and when i close it the map has none of my features, just a load of red boxes saying "Image not found".
How do i re-connect my features with what is on the map they seem to have lost the links since i rebuilt?

Cheers,
Smithy

Hello!

The font needs to be installed in your system. You probably loaded it at some point in your original Windows install. We can't include fonts with the map files because we don't hold copyrights to them so we can't distribute them.

Regarding custom features, you would need to rebuild your features library. Map files don't include features, but are read from the "library" in your system. These is to keep the map file small.

Do you have copies of those symbols to rebuild the library?

You can either use the art manager or copy them by hand to the OWM folder structure. The help documentation has a simple outline (we still owe everyone good tutorial vids...)

Hi,
the features are all available in my Features Tool Properties box, so i can add new ones if i need them. However, my pre-existing maps with them on are showing red error messages where they should be. It is as if the link between the map and the brush features has been broken when i rebuilt my PC and hasnt reconnected? Any ideas how to "re-connect".

Most likely the name of the folders or the files themselves is different. We have functionality planned to let you browse to a new folder, but for the current release they need to match.

If you email me the map I can open it with our tools and tell you the folder names.

We'll add a way to display the file name and folder when the symbol is missing with the next release. Didn't think of doing that before.

Thank you!
