  • Oh, well, doesn't hurt to ask. This is such a nice tool and I'm not aware of any other tool like it.
  • Thanx, Ed, I didn't know that; I figured Java used the same notation as other languages. I'll try that out.
  • Oh, well, heck. I thought the CSD functions would override JS functions. Well, that makes things easy. Thanx!
  • This is a great find. Is there documentation on what functions can be called using the API code?
  • Oooo! Thanx, Ed! Is there any documentation on available functions - like the .getsystem and .systemcount? That sort of library would be really useful. Thanx again!
  • Well, I ordered The Keep 2.0 Upgrade from the NBOS store, using the coupon code, but the 20% discount didn't apply. Is there anything that can be done?
  • Hmm. However, the sector display looks like it shows far more systems - well, certainly more than 20, looks like there may just be a limit on how many show in the side screen, then.
  • When saving using both methods, that was on both releases. I haven't tried the R-click>Generate System Contents with AS3d, yet. Ran out of time last night. I'll take a stab at that tonight.
  • Further info. It appears that those systems that did not save, were populated by R-click>Generate System Contents. Looks like those that were populated by R-click>Generate System Contents (Keep Name) saved fine. I just went through a large …
  • Well, I may have spoken too soon. After editing about 900 systems, it failed to save all of them; some were saved, some weren't. Tonight, I'll try doing them in smaller batches, maybe such a large number of changes overflows a variable somewhe…
  • OK, that worked. I also went back to AS3c, but keeping the new SQLite dll, and that worked, too. So, the problem was apparently with SQLite. Should I keep AS3d, or is it still a work in progress and I should return to AS3c until an official re…
  • I'll try that tonight. On a side note, my Norton is convinced that the NBOS Updater executable is malware and quarantines it. I added it to the exception list, but I'm wondering if that may be part of the issue. I would've thought reinstalling wo…
  • I tried going back to just AS3a and got the same problem. Updated to AS3c and opened the sector created in AS3a. Same problem. I'm at a loss.
  • OK, renamed the old Astro3.exe to Astro3.exe.old. I then unzipped and extracted the new Astro3.exe, copied it and then pasted it to the AstroSynthesis folder. I then dbl-clicked the new file and got an error; "Astro3.exe - Entry Point Not Foun…
  • Tried uninstalling and reinstalling AS3a and updated again to AS3c. No change. Still seems to fail to save changes once a system is generated with a population.
  • Files seem to be working fine elsewhere and the file is saved in a special RPG folder outside of the Program Files folder. I'm using Win8 on a 64-bit laptop, if that matters. Just tried again using Save As and the new copy is also not saving a…
  • It seems sporadic, but more often than not, it won't save the data. I tried to generate the contents of a system several times, and once it did save the contents.
  • Yes, it's been a long time. But, real life put a hole in my starship and I'm just now getting some atmosphere pressure built up. Yes, that is along the lines of what I'm looking for. But, also something to account for dynamic motion on the part o…
  • Ed_NBOS wrote: What you may be able to do using VBA in your excel spreadsheet is connect to the AstroDB and directly write to it. Ick. I'll stick with what I have. For multiple star systems, I believe the position values of the components a…
  • I'm using Excel to create a .csv file (at some point to be upgraded to SSMS) and I then use AS3's Import command to import that .csv. If I can, I'm trying to use Excel to do as much of the work as possible before importing. I can do searches and edi…
  • Ah, so, "Body Type" is not a binding qualifier, except for "Multiple?" I'll have to study the SQLite tables more. I don't suppose there's a data dictionary available for AS3's database?
  • OK, got SQLite installed and it seems to work. Looks like it can't take a TOP 100 in the SELECT, but maybe that's just T-SQL. Anyway, the reason I'm trying to see the content is so I can determine all the options for importing a csv file with pre…
  • Ah. I didn't realize there was a specific support email - or, I had forgotten (old age...). I thought the forums were for that. Eggselent! Email sent. Thanx!
  • OK, disregard. I either misread or misunderstood the downloand intructions. I saved it to where I had saved the prior INSTALL files, not the executable. I copied it to my executable folder and it looks to work fine. Doy...
  • Speaking of updates, I got a new computer which has 64-bit Win8. I ran my copy of the Keep and it works, but when I tried to run the 1.04d update, I got a "sqlite3.dll is missing from your computer." Is the Keep compatible with 64-bit Win8?
  • Well, I've found one answer; delete the list. Thing is, I want to use the list elsewhere, I just need to delete the reference to it from a particular object.
  • My suggestion: Instead of/in addition to the slider to scale a grid on the map, how about a dialog where specific units canbe entered? If I know that my map is 1 pixel = 1 foot, then the ability to slap a grid on there that conforms to the scale …
  • Fixed it...
  • I get those errors a lot. I've found that they can be caused by fields being set to read only, and once by a field that had been accidentally pasted (that happens if you try to paste into the Script tab) behind something else. I figure, check …
