Support for multiple databases was simply an option added for those who had particular needs for it. During testing we had people who were using it for their work information (as in their jobs) because it was so convenient, and they didnt want to h…

Its using an embedded Internet Explorer.

See the 'Custom Database Paths' topic under 'Advanced Capabilities' in the help file. You'd setup separate shortcuts for different databases.

Are you asking if The Keep can run on the iPad? No, its a Windows program. If you want to export your data to a format you can use on your iPad, you can print it out as a pdf and copy it over. Or use the experimental build (see the link in anot…

No, there's no facility at all to display in-system routes. I dont know if such would be meaningful given that the position of every body changes as they orbit. There wouldnt be a 'route' per se. Thats unlike in interstellar travel where, if shi…

In FWE there's some arrows on the toolbar that let you shift the landmasses left & right. You can use those to position them so that its generating the view of your continents you want. There are tools in FM to add objects together (Actions …

Did you alter anything in one of the common files used by AdventureHooks.ipt? If that broke something, that would be an explanation why both that and the copy are missing tables. Which version of the program are you using?
-
You can hold the shift key down and then drag up & down (vertically). Or you can use the arrow keys with the shift key held down.
-
Thats not something the program can do out of the box, and honestly it's really too specific to ever be its own feature. There's two ways of getting the information you want: if you are familiar with SQL, you can use SQLite's command line tool t…

This update isnt version 2.0. Its a proof of concept for functionality intended to be included in 2.0 and other projects. Dont read any more into it than that. But since it was a discreet piece of functionality that needed to be implemented earl…

If I understand what you are saying, you'd have to use javascript to extract the "+7" out of the text first. Actually, what I'd recommend is using a lookup list. Have the other fields use a Lookup( List, Field) as their source. See the 2 page c…

That will tell you if a specific body is on a particular given route. But I think it'd be faster to go the other way, and rather than testing each body for each route, instead just marking the bodies on routes as above.

The 3.01b update, as posted at the top of the forum, does lower the frequency for the lowest setting of the slider. A 10x10x10 cube will give you about 5-ish systems.

If I understand what you want to do - make only those bodies on routes visible - then this process should work: - Mark all systems on the map hidden (visible = false) - Cycle through all the routes (use the Sector's RouteCount method to get the …

That would require implementing a special timer to keep track of that, as its not a normal windows interface action (its not something Windows would send a message for). I wouldnt do something like that in a minor update as there's a world of possi…

There needs to be two modes - on a big map there's no guarantee that there'd be a spot to click on that doesnt select a system. I can look at perhaps switching to pan mode when the pointer is dragged without a system selected. But unless thats r…
-
You know you can switch between pan and select by clicking the middle mouse button, right? A pan & select mode are used because dragging the mouse rotates the selected system around the camera, and the right mouse for the menu. As for terraf…

Oh, wow, I love that town map!
-
Yes. For #2, thats not something you'd do in script, but rather use a script to set the visibility of the bodies, and then set the filters to 'hide labels only'

Yes, the files are also backed up .... unless.... you have "Use external file references" checked in your program preferences. If you have a lot of files, you can tell by the size of the export file created that they are embedded. You can also r…

In the program, the colors are random

That looks magnificent, Mark!

Good to hear. The next update will have the ability to give the generator a file name to create. This will allow Astro to generate much larger sectors because the generated system data can then be unloaded to the astrodb file to reduce memory us…

FM8 ships with a tutorial, the link is in the start menu. There's also PDF versions of the FM docs here: FM8 PDF http://www.nbos.com/nox/index.php?action=1001&id=125
