  • Could they be missing a font? If you are using something that's not standard, your friends may not have it.
  • That's a very old post and doesn't apply to v2. The current version of The Keep has a revision system, so topics don't get deleted or overwritten. Rather, new revisions are created.
  • You should be able to do that. There's a {$POPULATED} variable thats set to either 'Populated' or 'NotPopulated', depending on the system population. So you'd make two tables with those names. Then call [@{$POPULATED}] in the main table.
  • Thats good to hear. Yes, especially if you come from a coding background, the important thing to keep in mind with IPP is that its not code per-se, but a rather its a regular expression (regex) engine.
  • Set the background color with Map -> Map Setup from the menu, and make sure you don't have very tiny grids set up using Map -> Grids from the menu.
  • You'll probably want to post the actual generator as an attachment or use the code formatting here in the forum. The problem can be any number of things, but its difficult to tell from just a non-code formatted bit. For example, there shouldn't be…
  • Mark, I thought you'd like that When its ready, I'll let you have a go with it to try it out with some of your bigger maps. Levendor, that's a good idea... I'll take a look at doing that.
  • That does work, but should be unnecessary. You can use File -> Open to open AS2 files from within AS3. It will then convert them to AS3's format. (unless there's a problem with the file, then the XML trick is a good fallback)
  • Yes, you can do that. Look at the 3-page character sheet example. Specifically the first page - the 'worksheet'. The Classes section has drop downs that update the hit dice field next to it.
  • No, it doesn't calculate those. The best thing to do is put the station as a satellite of the planet, and then note it as being in L2. You can also configure the system display fields to show that.
  • Are you sure you are trying to open an .AstroDB file? You are welcome to send the file to the support address, and I can check it out.
  • I'm not entirely sure what you are asking. But multiple planetary systems aren't supported in the planet system display.
  • You can move it with the pointer tool. Select the pointer tool from the menu, then select the system on the map. Then drag it around. For more precision, you can hold down the x, y, or z key to restrict movement to that dimension. Alternatively,…
  • Hi, yes, you can. So long as the work is primarily your creative work, as opposed to a repackaging of our art for example, you can publish what you create. No additional license or attribution is required. Here's our full policy on it: Can I …
  • I use MalwareBytes as well, but haven't had any problems. But I'm also usually using Firefox, so it might be different than what's happening on Chrome. The NBOS forum is a pretty generic Vanilla forum - just a run of the mill PHP application. If …
  • No, FM doesn't support drawing tablets or read pen pressure. If the tablet operates like a mouse or touch pad, it may work like those devices (but won't support reading pen pressure).
  • Glad you like! Making the Skwyre server available so you can set up your own is indeed the plan.
  • It looks like it might be a missing font. Everything thats blocked out like that is in a fixed font. It shows ok here. What PDF viewer are you using?
  • No, no simple way to do that from within the program. You'll need a script. Save the below in the plugins directory as PopMultiplier.AstroScript and restart astro. Change MultFactor to whatever you need, though I think it needs to result in an …
  • For terrestrial planets, Gravity in G's is: Planet_Radius / Earth_Radius * Planet_Density Where Planet_Density is relative to Earth (Earth = 1.0)
  • Yes, you can grab a PDF here: http://www.nbos.com/nox/index.php?action=1001&id=124 Its basically the same content as the help file, but in a more printable form.
  • No, you can't trigger a prompt when a table is run. The prompts are collected before the generator is actually run.
  • Hi guys, mini rotation & resizing will be in the final release. Its partially in there now, but I'm still trying to work out the best way to handle that on touch screens. There will be integration with FM9. At the very least you'll be able to…
  • Yes, it used Reader specifically. To embed a viewer within The Keep, the hosted application (like Adobe Reader) needs to be specifically designed to allow it, and The Keep has to have the code on its end to interface with it. Adobe changed how Re…
  • Try without spaces in the Define: Define: location={prompt1}
  • No. About the only thing you could do is export it as an image file and load that into FM.
  • The easiest way to do it is to use the Fractal Polygon tool to draw the entire land mass as a single object. You don't have to get the shape perfect if you are trying to duplicate or trace over an existing map. You can get close, and then adjust …
  • The Keep uses an embedded IE as its viewer. Not the browser itself, but the rendering engine that's provided by the OS. There's no way to change that, I'm afraid.
  • Glad you got it going. I was just looking over the piece that launches FWE to answer your question because I knew at some point it was changed to specifically look for FWE 1.8 a lot of people have more than one version installed at a time (for ex, …
