That's also what the majority of RPG cartographers do.īut then there are wierdos like the three of us in the Vintyri (TM) Project.
If one uses the cartographic programs to export the end results as flat maps (JPG, PNG, BMP, etc.), there's no problem. However, even in this case, one has to be careful in distributing the maps one makes with these programs. If, for instance, you have Fractal Mapper (TM) 8 or Dundjinni (TM) installed on your computer, and you then install ProFantasy programs, they automatically will install all of their symbols in the proper FM8 or Dundjinni folders and menus as well. ProFantasy uses this method in an attempt to protect its symbols from pirates, but it also does a lot to make them available to users of other programs.
Now, you may wonder what that's all about. a GIMP map as a GIMP file, a PhotoShop map as a PhotoShop file) and that program carries the map as a separate, extractable object, you are in violation of ProFantasy's license. If you make a map with a program other than CC3 and distribute it in its native format (i.e. JPG, PNG, BMP, etc.) my answer, Yes, is correct. If you make a map and distribute it as a flat map (i.e. Ja mei! I've been reminded by private E-Mail that my plain and simple answer was a bit too plain and simple.
