Campaign Cartographer

What works

- creating new maps
- edit maps
- save maps
- effects
- all tested drawtools

What does not

- Symbol catalog refuses to have more than 1 column (The default setting, used by most)

- Symbol catalog resides on right side instead of left (Not really a big problem)

- Symbol catalog does not expand to fill window when right-clicked (Which requires you to scroll through the catalog manually)

- Some toolbars that are supposed to be on by default are not initally turned on (But can easily be turned on, and stays on thereafter)

Workarounds

What was not tested

- Installation (This version was copied from an existing windows install. Registry was also copied. This method works fine when copied between windows machines, and should therefor work the same way in wine as well. Will test installation later)

Hardware tested

Additional Comments

Rated Gold due to some minor issues inside the app (See "Not Working" notes.

Note. This used to be the procedure to get CC3 to work, but under recent Wine version, I cannot get it to install at all any more. Hopefully this will change in the future.

1. Make sure you have the most updated installers from ProFantasy. These are available from your order page. This is especially important, because the older installers relied somewhat on .net, which doesn't work very well with Wine. ProFantasy have created new installers for all their components, that no longer relies on any .net version
2. Install CC3 using the installer.
3. Install the latest patch (Available from your registration page, currently version 3.42 [Update 10]). Note that this will produce an error message about the C++ runtime not finding an installation directory. This error is not critical, but some of the effects relies on these libraries, and will not work. Most effects work however.
   
4. Install any add-on you might own
5. Install the latest patch again.
6. Run CC3. Everything should work properly.­

When opening existing maps, you'll find that the fonts don't render the same size as on Windows.

This can be fixed by changing the font properties of the existing text in the map and unchecking the 'Use New Metrics' option. This should cause the fonts to render the same size (extremely close anyway) as they did on Windows, and they'll still display fine if you open that map in Windows.

You should obviously keep this option off for any new text you place if you want to be able to open the map in Windows and have it look the same.

Thanks to CSANecromancer in the ProFantasy forums for this tip.
