[nbos] [FM8] Free Dundjinni Archives Vol. 3 (Modern-SciFi) Released

[Mark Oliva]

In beta testing, we've received only success reports, with the few error
reports proving to be user errors, therefore, the beta of Volume 3 has
become the release version.

>From 2004 to 2008, Cecil Solomon compiled all of the symbols and fill styles
that Dundjinni users who were willing to share them had posted on the
Dundjinni forum into the CSUAC. After Cecil stopped supporting the CSUAC in
2008, Dundjinni users Kepli, Sendorian and Daniel Pryor continued collecting
these works in the Dundjinni Archives, a less formal but still formidable
collection, and much larger than the CSUAC.

Recently, the Vintyri Project was granted the right to make and release
Fractal Mapper (TM) 8 and CC3+ versions of these archives. As always with
Vintyri products, this release is free and available for personal and
commercial use. The third of three archive releases for FM8 now is available
for open beta testing. We hope to close the beta testing on Friday,
September 16.

The Dundjinni Archives for FM8 will be released in three separate downloads:

Volume 1 - Overland Symbols and Covers. The download comes to about 400 MB.
This is the volume that now is available for beta testing. For the first
time, it makes the user collection of Dundjinni ISO symbols and covers
available fully converted for FM8. Unlike almost all other Dundjinni
objects, those in this collection are primarily useful for FM8 overland
maps.

Volume 2 - Fantasy Symbols and Fill Styles. This will be the last release in
this series. It includes more than 2 GB of mapping objects. There is no
release date target at this time.

Volume 3 - Modern and Science Fiction Symbols and Fill Styles. This will be
the next release in this series. It includes some 245 MB of mapping objects.
We're giving Volume 3 priority because of the relatively small number of
symbols available to Modern and SciFi map makers.

To get the free beta, download the following file:

www.vintyri.org/downloads/djfm8_vol3_setup.zip (244 MB)

The zip contains the installation instructions and the setup file. It also
includes important information on shadow issues.
