Custom characters

[lich98]

Can we find a way to share our custom charaters. I can't seem to figure out how to get them in even  after reading Virgils topic on it. Thx

Just place them on that png. file he gave you in that topic. The characters should be 96 on 96, you can easily rescale some images and paste them on it with Paint or even better with photoshop, you can try using GIMP, it's free and works great.

About the sharing, I don't think many Map Makers will like to share their characters as these are most likely part of a story nor do I think you'll like to use someone else's characters.

So just make them yourself, for abstract concepts you can use Google Images and for real characters just use movie characters (gives you a good reason to watch TV), cut these out change the background and voilà.

Copy the picture you want and paste it as a new layer, that should work.

Are you sure the size is correct?
Is it in a .png format?
Did you enter it at the Custom Characters and not something else like the Custom Tiles?

[lich98]

File size is correct and it is .png I'll put the file so you can figure out what is wrong

[Grauniad]

For sure something is wrong, since it does not even render here in the forum.  What tool did you use to create the .png?

Photoshop on mac.
