If you use the Map Options window in FWE, thats exactly what it does. The gradient is on the right side of that window.

"Small bodies" isnt a type of body, per se, but rather a note that there are, at that orbit, miscellaneous, untracked bits of debris to watch out for. So there isnt a single oribital parameter for those objects. If you have bodies you want to trac…

Hi Folks, Just following up - the next update to FT will take care of this.
-
I'm not sure whats going on - I just tested it in an empty VM and it worked fine out of the box. I downloaded the same char sheet designer thats online and installed it. Opened the definition file with the designer. Did 'test in viewer'. Clic…

Does FT work ok outside of Astro? ie, if you run it directly. Astro3 was tested with the beta of FT3, but its possible something may have changed after that testing. I suspect there's a parameter being passed to FT by Astro thats causing the pr…

Ok, scrap that. It looks like what you are describing is something different. The fix I posted above is if astro is throwing an error on startup, not FT. I'll look into whats going on with the FT link.

There's no way to edit the colors before the planet map is generated, since its being done automatically. But if you select 'edit surface map', the map will be displayed in FWE, and you can alter all the colors there. When you press 'save', the…

This will create the necessary registry entries to get past the problem. Download and run this program. Click the 'fix FT integration' button, and then run Astro.

Ok, I'll take a look at it, and if its not applying the colors right I'll add it to the to-do list.

Yes, FT is supported in AS3 the way it was in AS2. Actually, the integration is a little better because AS will now automatically call FT when a surface map is needed - you dont have to manually tell AS to launch it. PF even sent us a beta of thei…

I think its just a problem with templates. Make a copy of the template file (c:\program files\nbos\AstroSynthesis3\templates\Local Stars 20ly.AstroDB, copy it using Windows, NOT saving a copy with Astro) and copy it into some other directory. Then…
-
If you make a new sector with 100 random systems (using default settings) and save it, it should be about a meg in size. Give that a shot rather than using the template. Let me know if that saves and loads ok.
-
Its hard to say - are you sure its not just an error in the javascript code? What was the error?
-
If the file is there, and looks large such that its holding all the stars on the map, make sure they're not just hidden by the filters.
-
Hi Steve, I'll check it out, and if its not respecting the selection for populations they way it should, I'll put that on the list of things to take care of for the first update.
-
Have you tried debugging by putting MsgBox() funcs in the code to see if the functions to set the colors are being run?
-
What version of the viewer are you using? Do you have 1.01c?
-
You can install a French dictionary in the current version of the Keep. Use one of the ones from here:

You're right Mark, I suspect the file is in a different folder too... but perhaps for a different reason than you might expect. The hint I think is that he saved maps under the Mapper8 directory. Jerrod - you didnt mention which version of Windo…

A new version is planned, but I'd like to get Astro3 out the door first before switching focus to it. I've started a new thread for feature requests.

Hmm, no, it only will show objects that orbit. What you might be able to do is place a marker for the jump point on the 3d map with coordinates that represent its position to the star its near. Then you can use the travel calculator to handle tr…
