I uploaded a Linux 64-bit CGI build here:

It is an easy one, but this isn't a very high traffic forum, so it may take a while before someone who can answer sees a question and has a chance to reply. All you need to do is use the prompt value as part of the table name. Prompt: Treasure ty…

Its JavaScript, so to round the value, use something like: Math.round( Edit1.Text);

Astro has its own random generator built in, so if thats all you're after you can use that. Otherwise, there's three basic ways to get external data into Astro 1) Use the built-in csv importer. This is very rudimentary, and only supports star…
-
If you are using Astro's built in csv importer, its limited to the body types and fields that are listed in the help file. Its only designed to be a very rudimentary importer. What you may be able to do using VBA in your excel spreadsheet is con…

It's not clear... are you trying to use Astro's own CSV importer to bring in data, or are you trying to write to the AstroDB file with your own program?
-
Yes, I'm sorry, but Character Sketcher was discontinued quite a few years ago. If you have the CD you may be able to copy the /nbos directory over into your Program Files (x86) directory. But I can't guarantee it will run well under the newer vers…

The Astro's CSV importer is limited to those types. CSV isn't a particularly good format for hierarchical data like star systems with planets. So it was never meant to import anything other than very basic data sets. In Astro's bodies table, wh…

when you say blue screen, do you mean your entire screen/monitor goes blue, or do you just mean that FWE launches, but just shows a map that's all ocean? If the latter, what may be the easiest to do is re-install AstroSynthesis. Whats probably h…

AS3 files are SQLite database files. Not sure if MS-SQL can load those or not. But there may be ODBC drivers for SQLite you can use to load the database. Alternatively, if you just want to browse the files, there's a number of GUI's for SQLite.…

Well, no I dont have any info on this off the top of my head. It's better to send this type of thing to the support address so that it gets entered into the support queue.

ooooook, I figured out whats going on. Its the space between the = and the variables here: Set: Gender = [|male |female] Set: GenderMod = [@GenderMod] Set: Age = [@Age] Set: AgeMod = 	…
-
The luminosity values are calculated using a standard formula for main sequence stars. The values can get wonky for giants that exist outside the main sequence. The luminosity is editable, so feel free to change the values to whatever you want the…

Not sure whats going on there. Until I can dig into seeing why its doing that, you can also do something like this: #Gender and Age Testing Set: Gender = [|male |female] Set: GenderMod = [@GenderMod] Set: Age …

The multiple star display is not to scale. Because of the distances involved, a to-scale display of the orbits would make the inner orbits invisible.
-
I see whats happening. The expression [#{age} AgeMod] after the substitution is being turned into something like [#Middle Aged AgeMod] That wouldnt be valid because its trying to lookup the value 'Middle' in the 'A…

Yes, FM has a hyperlinking tool that can be used for what you describe. When I link maps, I tend to only put links on text objects, this way you know what can be clicked on. Hyperlinking You can hyperlink Fractal Mapper maps together, allowing…

The Keep v2 is the next planned commercial windows product on tap, but I dont have an eta.

Astro runs well under Win 8. Its likely some other problem related to the device. I'd start with the usual troubleshooting steps of: - making sure you have the latest build (

This is whats meant by a 'false positive'. The installer we ship has no malware in it. Unless its been infected with something on your machine, the installer is clean. What has likely happened is some peice of malware used the same networking l…

I think you misunderstand how the different pieces of software go together. Fractal Mapper is the primary program. That is what is used to create maps. FWE is a free add-on for creating and editing terrain graphics that can be placed on the backg…

FWE is a terrain generator. There is no markup capability in FWE - it just edits terrain. Its a free add-on designed to support Fractal Mapper. If you want to add roads, rivers, and other items on a map, you'd create the terrain in FWE, and then …

There's a trial version. Under 'Downloads' in the site's menu.

Thats a great graphic :-) Also, just fyi, FM can be installed on up to 3 machines that are yours or where you're the primary user. For example, a work machine, a home machine, and a laptop you use while gaming.
-
Yes and Yes. For the second, this is for when an accelleration is chosen, as opposed to a fixed speed.

It sounds like you are trying to directly open a JPG image, which FM wont do because it only opens its own map files. Use File -> Place instead to place a JPG image into your map. Follow these steps. - Create a blank map. - User File -> …

There's a couple dice related functions, not sure how they didnt make it into the docs. EvalDice( string) takes a string like "4d6+4". The format has to be "N d N (+/-) N". I believe the modifier can be left out, like "4d6". RollDice( int, …

Hi Luis, The commercial/paid version of ScreenMonkey was removed from sale. The new 1.8 'lite' version has all the features of the paid version, except for the scripting support (and a few other minor features that would have been removed from t…

Just to confirm... are you clicking on the .ipt file, and THAT is trying to open with firefox? Or are you clicking on the .htm file? (which should be opening in firefox or other browser)
