Dalton, glad to hear its working well for you!
The Character Sheet integration is planned. In fact, its an intended core feature. When development started, the choice was between starting with the map or the character sheet. I figured the map wo…
Glad to hear it went well!
The way minis work right now is that the campaign owner can move/delete any mini, but general campaign members can only move/delete their own minis.
For uploads, they are attached to your account. So if you upload a fil…
Glad its working out for you! Right now the map sizes are fixed. I believe its 100 pixels per major grid line. That obviously will be configurable as features get added. In the mean time I'll work on getting some FM templates available for downl…
I would just put the objects in an orbit of the appropriate distance, and mark them as being in the Lagrange points. Astro cant 'show' objects in fixed points. For the actual formulas to determine the positions, I'm sure they are easy enough to fi…
There shouldn't be any maps in the Set Background Map window. That's for maps you upload yourself. There should, though, be a couple of patterns in the background pattern window.
btw, I'll be uploading FM templates for Skwyre maps to make it easi…
Skwyre's focus will be on at-table gaming as much as online gaming. That isn't evident from the video because the purpose of the Preview Edition is to test out the general platform and server first. So while I'm calling it a Virtual Table Top at t…
Tiled fill patterns can be pretty difficult to make because they have to wrap correctly. You might want to look around for Photoshop or Gimp tutorials on the subject.
The back end is hosted on our server(s). So you don't have to worry about opening and forwarding ports.
There's no plan for a web based client. There will be apps for Windows, OSX, Linux, Android, and iOS.
Yes indeed! There are plans to integra…
Hi Bjord, it's a new virtual table top system designed for at-table and online gaming. I'll be posting more info, including a downloadable preview edition, in not too long.
There is a scripting API that can use with VBScript to do all manner of things:

(most of these are older and may need to be adjusted to run in v3, but it should give you an idea of what the scripting a…
Sorry, didn't see the reply come in.
The bottom land mass is also a polyline, that is why it also is not filled.
I added a bunch of landmasses using the polygon tool to the map. You can see the difference.
I see what the problem is - you used the freehand polyline tool to create the land mass. Use the freehand polygon tool instead. Lines don't have a fill color as they aren't closed objects. The flood fill probably found an opening where the line …
Scott,
FM is a vector drawing program. So every object on the map, like polygons and lines, has its own set of properties, such as fill and line color. To change the fill color of a polygon, select it with the pointer, and click one of the colo…
It sounds like you might be using the flood fill tool? That's not necessary. You can change the fill color of the continent itself by selecting it and clicking on the bottom color bar.
The should install & run ok if you put them in a Google Drive folder. FM does make use of the Windows Application Data folders and Windows Registry, so any settings won't be shared between machines.
Yes, definitely try shrinking the size per Mark's suggestion. Even if you cut it down to half that size it should load. FM uses Window's own image loading routines, which tends to have limits to the size of image they can load.
An alternative i…
Not directly. But you can do a Portable install, and install it right into your Dropbox folders. That will put all the generators underneath the program's directory, rather than in the My Documents folder.
FM can actually load .WMF files pretty well (just File -> Open like normal). I believe there were some limitations relating to embedded bitmap data and fonts. But plain vector .WMF files worked ok (basically, the kind you'd find in clipart). I…
The orbits look correct. A positive orbit should appear as clockwise when viewed from a positive Z position.
Setting an orbit to Retrograde per Alternon's suggestion will make them go the other direction. You can also make the rotation of the p…
To assign a table result to a variable, you would do something like:
Table: PickAClass
Set: ClassName =[@RandomClass]
To do it in a table row, you can also use (assuming RandomClass was a valid table)
[@ClassName=Ran…
