This is fixed now. The docs got left out during the recent site upgrade.
-
You can download it here:
-
It looks like our web host made an update which interfered with the downloads section. The downloading is fixed, uploading may be a few days until its fixed.
-
It works after a small change. Change the names of the fields in the code to Edit1.Text and Edit3.Text since javascript is case sensitive.
-
Actually, my bad. I think what you want is function calcPower() { if (edit1.Text == 'Power') { return edit3.Text; } else { return ''; } } When used as a field source, the function Is run and the result of the functi…

Yes, you can use maps created with FM in published works. See:
-
I think you are looking for something like this (assuming version 2 of the designer) function calcPower() { if (edit1.Text == 'Power') { edit2.Text = edit3.Text } } and then the field source would be: js:calcPower()
-
Do you mean the list of the fields on the left? Yes, I can add that in. It also can be resized right now. (Sorry for the delay in replying, was away for a couple of weeks)
-
You would need to use an Update event in javascript to set the new list name for the fields. In the update event, you'd look at the value of the field in question and change the list names of the other fields accordingly.
-
You can reference the field by the name it has in the designer. So for a field named Strength, you'd do: var a = Strength.value
-
Is there a tool to convert from HTML to whatever it is that wiki's support? Otherwise you'd need to build a script, or perhaps easier, an external tool to read from the AstroDB file.
-
I took care of this. The fix will be in the next (first) update. I also tweaked the output to add a line break between the topics and the next item, and removed that hard coded file that was in there from testing.

Be sure to see the announcement above for a coupon code for an extra discount for forum members!

Yes to 1-3, no to 4, 5... sort of. You can hide pages from printing, so you can make non-printable worksheets. Its a free program... so probably easiest just to try it out.
-
Most of the symbols included are more geared towards fantasy RPGs, though there is a sci-fi set of symbols. FM itself isn't tied to any particular genre. One thing that's really useful for sci-fi games is using Fractal World Explorer (included wit…

You don't need to do it manually. The File -> Export from the menu creates a new .ipt file that compiles all the 'used' files into a single, standalone generator for you.
-
The Android and CGI versions don't support running generators that reference external files. In the Windows version, select the generator, and then use File -> Export Table from the menu. That will compile a generator into a single, standalone …
-
You want to put the files that are "Used" by your main generator file in the \My Documents\InspirationPadPro\Common directory. So if you 'Use' a file like this: Use: HARP\DwarfNames.ipt The file should be located in My Documents\Inspiratio…
-
Possibly... The hold-up on iOS is that Apple effectively requires you to use a Mac to compile the programs, which I don't have at the moment. I don't think I'd get a Mac for Inspiration Pad Pro development itself, but as I get into more mobile app…
-
You can reference other files with the Use: command, like Use: Where is a file in the /Common directory (where the generators are stored) Then you reference the tables from that file normally (as if they are in the file itself). There'…
-
The Android installer should have made a directory for tables. Usually its /sdcard/InspirationPad, but it might be different on different devices. Look for one full of .ipt files. Just copy the tables into there.
-
Yes, the System Data Display (the left tree) can only show 20 systems. The systems are still "selected" - just not displayed in the System Data Display. The search results grid can show, I believe, up to 1000 (but it might be unlimited if you c…
-
Have you switched to 3.01d? Or was this with the older executable?
-
Good to hear. Not sure what the exact issue was. You can probably keep the new exe, it has some fixes to the travel calculator. I have seen the problem with anti-virus software flagging the autoupdater. It seems that anti-virus software will f…
-
From that error message, it sounds like that Astro 3.01d beta is using a newer SQLite engine. I updated that zip file to put that in there as well. Just copy both into the install directory, replacing the Astro3.exe and SQLite.dll that you have now…
-
I just uploaded the current development build here:
-
(Its better if you email this sort of thing to the support address - I'll see it sooner.) Its certainly not a general problem that I'm aware of. I can send you the current 3.01d build if you want, so you can see if that takes care of the problem…
-
You can add and delete points in the polygon using the add and delete node tools to reshape an object. Or if you are tracing over something, you can also use the Raster Flood Fill rather than tracing over it.
-
For application scripting like this, MsgBox is really your best friend. Astro and FM use Microsoft's Active Scripting system. While there is some debugging support in Active Scripting, I find that it usually causes more trouble than its worth (loc…
-
If you draw out the symbol placement rectangle the first time, rather than just clicking a point on the map, that symbol size will be remembered by FM. Then when you use that symbol again by clicking a point on the map, it will be placed at the sam…
