Perhaps the MapMatic program might have access to the Forum Member Database, so that a separate account need not be made? Just a thought.
Is it really the end, not some crazy dream?

I suppose it could work that way. I can't remember which came first...

Solo.. How about some generic squiggly circles for trees and shrubs? maybe make 10' diameter one for trees and a 5' for shrubs? I was converting the map to Zombraires Estate to mapmatic and I had to use 'T' for Trees.

Am I remembering correctly that they would stick a dot in the middle of the tree-blobs for the trunk?
Go with a smile!

Chris.. a couple of things...

1. How would you feel about adding Mapmatic as a thread in the Project Feedback forum?

and a list of small enhancements.. Mostly just a request for a few more tile types..

1. Outdoor Features
-small bush
-small tree
-large tree (using a quarter tile)

2. Indoor features
- straight stairs in the same format as the spiral ones (box with lines)
- Some sort of rubble/debris tile
- small door (Similar to the double door but with a finished line (text example --=-) that is offset from center

I can probably do the small door and the straight stairs, but the other items are irregular; I'm not real good at art like that on the computer. I'll see what I can do.

It would be a fantastic help, if it weren't for the "all rights reserved" at the bottom of the page. :(
