Hello and greetings from Germany
I just want to say tank you for this good program. It has some things that could be improved but at its core i like creating maps with it. I am not a good artist but even i can create a map this looks decent.
I'm running a Dungeons and Dragons campaign for some friends and i wanted to create a world where i can do whatever i want. So i draw a small map on paper where we started. But i realized i want more with a better look. So i tested working with Gimp..nope..i am not an artist :/
Then i bought campaign cartographer and did a small map of the are witch worked for me, it looked good. Then i needed to branch out and create a continent and i struggled with cc3, it was slow, tidious with symbol sorting,...
And then there was a twitter add for other world mapper. I looked at it, tested the demo watched youtube videos (you really need more and better videos, today it is my goto for thinks i like to buy) but thought, na you just bought cc3. Learn to get better with it.
It did dent work, so i tryed the OWM Demo again and then bought the program out of dispair with cc3.
And in a short time i got my continent map done. It was easy to do without much frustration. So in about 10 hours i got my continent done to this stage
The map is not done but i will add thinks along my rpg campaign. So if i come up with something while we play i can add it to my map. The region my players are in at the moment has the most detail
What i need is a good swamp region texture, still testing to get one that i like. I even started learning inkscape to create my own svg symbols.
Thinks i would like to see in the program, i wrote on twitter but for completion ill add them here
- more export options. I have some boundary regions for country's on the main continent, easy to hide this part of the tree. But if i add some to the other landmasses it is not so easy. So a option for the export to hide different map options would be great. Maybe not only for export but a way to toggle features globally would come in handy.
- better naming in the tree view. Or the possibility to add sub groups. It is hard for me to sort a thing below another if i can't guess where i am located. Example my forest are mostly on top of everything, if i add a plains that i want partial below the forest i will have to press ctrl+b a lot to get below the forests. With drag and drop i dont know if region 34 - 50 are forest or something else.
- Export 2, some export filters would be great. In CC3 i could create a map in full color and before export add a sepia filter to the whole map. Yes i can do this with an image editing software after the export but it would be nice to have some options.
So thanks for this great tool, i don't regret that i bought it in any way. It will come in handy numerous times.
