Incline Grid Cartographer - Best Tool for Drawing Classic RPG Maps

[Butter]

I'm using the Steam version of GC and Eye of the Beholder through GOG DOSBox. Is there a way to sync it for the auto-map?

Yes, you should be able to, though the trick is by replacing the dosbox version in your GOG install directory with the one provided by GridCartographer (https://gridcartographer.com/download/#clients)

I posted a new version of Grid Cartographer as a Steam beta. Hope this is a suitable New Year's gift

Change log is here, use the BETAS tab to access it.

You're wrong, check your link. GC.com supports https if you want it, which links to FastSpring which uses https.

just put it on sale on steam like everyone else does.

Well dang why didn't I think of doing that ... every Summer and Winter sale event for the past 5 years

The link to get to the link of FastSpring (who is that never heard of them) is not secure. You linked it yourself. Why not put it on sale on Steam at the same time as your current sale?

You're right, there isn't an s on the link above, but the site still works. That's a good thing. There's no private info being transferred on the gc.com site, but feel free to use https if you prefer. FastSpring is a secure payment processing company, I've used them for years and have had many satisfied customers. Feel free to look into them further.

GC on Steam goes on sale during the Summer and Winter events. If you'd like to get it there please add it to your wishlist and you'll be notified by Valve when it goes on sale.

Holy shit, I didn't realise it was that expensive.
It's normally €45,99.

It has been worth the sale price so far. A slight learning curve. Otherwise its exactly what I was looking for.

I have the old 4.4.1_f2 paid pro edition 64 bit and was wondering how do i upgrade it to the 5.5.1 edition or w/e is current?

 

[Glop_dweller]

Most recent installers: https://gridcartographer.com/download/

*Also has an upgrade link on the same page.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

I've owned the pro edition for a while and update it periodically. I just thought there was an in app upgrade or a place to type in your KEY to verify a purchase. Maybe you now have to purchase every update.

Maybe you now have to purchase every update.

I don't think that's the case -- my purchase from 2019 still updates without any problems.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Screenshot of the update button. I can't find the damn thing. I spent two hours on a dl of the free latest one looking for code verification. Nada. So i looked at my old one and a damn UPDATE BUTTON. Nothing. Most utilities have a rather easy section in the menus under option or ABOUT with update. And some don't that piss me off.

No idea, sorry. I should've specified that I bought the Steam version.

Interested to try Wizardry Five Ordeals on Steam - what I'm looking for is an automapper that is easy to use. Would you recommend buying grid cartographer for this purpose?

Without wishing to lose a sale -- Grid Cartographer isn't an auto-mapper, it's a drawing tool. So if you want to draw maps by hand on 'digital graph paper' then I and a few others think it's pretty good for that. As for its suitability for this particular Wizardry, I know that a couple have people have been talking about mapping it successfully on my Discord server, so I'm confident it would be good for it. It'll come down to whether you want to draw maps yourself or if you're expecting full-auto (which GC cannot do). Hope this helps!

Sorry I missed this message. There's no in-app upgrade button, I couldn't get one to work reliably. However the good news is once you reached v4 (or bought the software since I changed over to "year dot month" version numbers) there's no longer an upgrade fee required within the "edition" you're on (Gamer, Pro or Steam), you get every update for that edition for free. So just download the latest installer from https://gridcartographer.com/download/ , run it and it'll upgrade for you. The only inconvenience is you have to open a web browser - there isn't a helper button within the program to do it for you. No big deal really, right?

Is Grid Cartographer able to import its exported OBJ files?
