A couple of questions from a newbie.

[Mark Oliva]

So! I've recently started using CC3, CD3 and DD3 and it's been going pretty well. Now that I've started making bigger projects and maps, when exporting, the program crashes.

I know a lot of people have had this problem with ProFantasy software, but it shouldn't happen. Have you contacted ProFantasy support?

So I was directed to use PDF Creator but as my files come out as PDF files

If this advice came from ProFantasy, use your money back guarantee and get something that works like it should. If the advice came from somewhere else, contact ProFantasy support.

I've seen plenty of maps made around the forums and most of them (I think) Seem to be mae in the CC3 program. However, many of the textures etc, is nothing that has been included in my versions. Are they buyable addons or do people import their own textures, if so, can one get a hold of similar ones?

There are a lot of high quality textures available for free downloading. However, CC3 uses different resolutions some other programs. You may have to resize those you download from other sites. Unfortunately, I got rid of CC3 too long ago to be able to tell you how. Maybe someone else who's a CC3 user will step in here and give you the answer. If not, Ralf Schemmann at ProFantasy explained that on the CC mailing list a while back. You could ask Ralf at:

Here are some places where you can find good single resolution textures free and open for use:
