Prompts and variables are added! You can look at the javascript on this page to see how they are added in: https://nbos.com/lab/ippjs/ippprompts.html If you want to set up GUI prompts based on the prompt entries in the generator file, you'll have …

Yes, I was thinking they could be passed as the 3rd parameter. But I have to review how that's done now, and check to see how the array could be passed because there's funky compatibility issues between Javascript and Delphi that have to be adjusted…
-
Btw, everyone is welcome to grab the .js file from source of the above page and use it in their own projects.

If you pull the generator off a server, you'd never have to make the generator itself visible to people viewing the site. Prompts I think would be possible. Of course the GUI for them would be completely up to the web site maker. Alternatively, sin…

The Keep will get updated to support the new features in the mapper's engine (since The Keep can show maps) next.
-
btw, for testing I actually did this with the dungeon from The Keep on the Borderlands.

It seemed to load ok w/ Chrome. The server piece wasn't in place obviously, But the interface looked to load correctly.
-
Yep, just do "File -> Place" from the menu to place the graphic on the map. Then you can draw on top of it. Once you get the map placed, put it on a layer and mark the layer as unselectable so you don't accidently move it.

There's a section in the help file called "Customizing the Name Generator". For the most part the .ipt files are just run by the name generator, but there's several pre-defined variables you can use in the ipt files. That section describes them. But…

No, I don't think so. You'd probably have to make a script for that. With a little modification, you can also run the Astro Standard Name Generator down in the LangData directory with Inspiration Pad Pro.

Make sure you are setting the temperature to something Earth-like in kelvin (290-ish). If you don't I think the temperature defaults to 0, and that will give you Hoth

You can set any image as the marker image in the properties window. ie, select the marker, right click, and select properties. Then go to the Model and Blazon tab.
-
I think using Spheres of Influence on markers may be the only solution here.

Just following up... the next update will have an option to make the toolbar buttons larger. There's a smaller/larger toggle at the top of the panel. The larger option makes the buttons twice size. This should be out sometime this summer, trying for…

Something like this might work: ;generate numbers with 1 to 3 digits table: main [@pad with {2d100}] ; front pads a number to 3 digits table: pad [{'_0000' + $1} >> right 3] ; the underscore above forces the expression to be treated like a…

You can do File->Save As to save as HTML or Text, or possibly File->Print to save the results as PDF. But no, there's no way to direct output to text in the IPP windows app. If you need lots of text results, you can use the command line versio…

You need to change the Fractal Factor. If you use a non-fractal line, it will set the FF to 0. If you then use a fractal line, it too will be 0 because that's the current setting. Both the fractal lines and straight lines are the same thing - one ju…

No fix I'm afraid. There aren't any plans to make any updates to those clients.
-
This is one of the higher priority changes - letting the user make those bigger - that I have planned for the mapper after the current set of features I'm working on is finished.
-
Are you setting the fractal factor?
-
I think this is what you're asking. This is how the coordinate system is arranged. X increases to the right, and z increases towards the viewer. Y increases up.
-
Version 4 of the globe viewer uses DirectX. That could be the issue. Earlier versions used OpenGL.
-
Use the filters for that. Filters - Subsectors - Hide Unassigned in the menu.
-
Yes, its up on NOX here: https://www.nbos.com/nox/item/75 These were made for Astro 2, so some tweaks may be needed. If I remember correctly, squash iterates all the systems and multiplies the Z value by some factor, like 0.3 to take a spherical s…
-
You can just change the size and that will make the sector smaller. But that will still show all the stars outside the sector. So what I would do is add a new cube sub-sector that was 20 LY in size, and hide all the systems that weren't assigned to…
-
You can also use the prompt as the table name, instead of using the [when] tag. Prompt: RouteInfo {OffPath|OnPath} OffPath Table: Main [@{prompt1}] Pokemon is {pokemon} Table: OffPath {pokemon=="wurple"} {pokemon=="charmander"} Table:…

\z doesn't stop the generator per se, its just an empty result that doesn't have any sub-tables to run. But yes, its useful!
-
If you just want the generator to run once and stop, you can put something like this up at top: MaxReps: 1
-
Right now it looks like it if it runs SylvanHex, it can run SylvanCritters, after which it stops. You could put an entry in SylvanHex that uses the \z special character for an empty table entry. That would also stop. Then you'd end up with 50% runni…
