These symbols look like they will be exceptionally useful - thankyou !
Out of interest did you use to make them available for Campaign Cartographer once upon a time ?

Several years ago when we were using Campaign Cartographer 2 Pro, we made a library of CC2 vector symbols, but we've never produced raster symbols for CC3. We stopped using Campaign Cartographer because CC3 is incompatible with our product specifications.Originally Posted by nichollsr

These look great.
Several things: 1. I tried the link and its broken for me and the one supplied by paladin is ok. 2. Are you interested in getting these tokens into my ViewingDale app ? I usually release all my download tokens as CC. What I can do is release the text files which form the token info and the app comes with a batch PNG conversion utility so they could get them from your site, batch convert and download the token info from my downloads area and they should work in my app just fine.
Edit - Yup looks good stuff !

Mark,The listed address should give you an option that takes you where you want to go. If there's a problem, please tell us what it is.
The website http://www.vintyri.com redirects me to http://service.t-online.de/c/12/70/92/38/12709238.html. It seems to have been working recently because the cached page in google still has the correct site.
I'm not sure if it's that way for everyone
Yeah same for me but I have been using some google voodoo and get all of the Set2 downloaded. Its 1.12 Gb. Now the thing is that a lot the images are quite similar and a lot of each image is repeating pattern. I think something like 98% of the data is redundant. My app is handling it fine but I just dont think anyone is going to want to use these images. They look nice but at a gig per set its not viable. The problem here is simple and one which is a failure of many token based mapping apps in that these images are all at one scale and so the big houses have the tiled roof at 3K square when it really does not need it but the chimney needs more res to accurately describe it. In these images the chimney has a texture on it which has been scaled up pixelating badly. A fixed 40pix per foot is not the right way to do it or even 10pix per foot. Somethings need more some need less on a token by token basis.
Another issue which I get collared on is that the houses have lighting and that with a city all the lighting is not going to be in the same direction. This is why we have been heading down the thatching script route to get buildings.
Its obvious a lot of effort is going into these but I think its going to be undervalued. I was optimistic about these tokens but I think it has waned at least for buildings. I think for non buildings and smaller items its a good thing. Id be interested in other peoples opinions on this tho.
