You can just change the fill style to a bitmap fill - or change the colour, but changing the colour won't have an effect once a bitmap fill is used. That's why you need the TEMPLATE layer frozen before proceeding.Ĭlick on either Change Properties or Edit Properties (I prefer the change version as selection is easier) and you'll get this (actual contents will match your current choices): One is your actual background, the other is a hollow green rectangle on the TEMPLATE layer - which CC3 uses to figure out where the edge of the map is (I think). Now you should just have the BACKGROUND sheet visible, which normally contains two rectangles overlaid. Then open the SHEETS list, select BACKGROUND and then Hide All. Having said that, first of all open your LAYERS list and make sure that the TEMPLATE layer is frozen (I'll explain why). It's normally easiest to work using the sheets and not worry about the layers too much. This feels unnecessarily difficult to do and the error messages may as well be in a different language :/ Meanwhile I'll see if I can work out how to do a bitmap fill of the background and if that works. The advice from JimP above is how I got to this point.
There is no layer with this name: FREEZE BACKGROUNDĬonfused as hell really, does this mean it wants a background layer FREEZE BACKGROUND made so it can target it? If I then 'Edit->Change background colour', I see the text in the bottom left tell me to select a new background colour : so I click the colour part of the status bar, pop open the colour picker and just atm pick blue, I see Command in the bottom left, left click in the view area and I get the pop up. I've opened up the 'Select layers' Left ticked Background and hidden everything else.
I am trying to replace the background white with the 'water dark bitmap' or any water really so I can see how the map will look.īut I can't get Campaign Cartographer to let me. Necromancering an old thread here, but I have this exact same issue.Ī old map with landmasses and lots of detail on it but that was drawn on a white background as a CC3 Overland map.
