  • There's no export in the character sheet designer/viewer. Though printing to a PDF using a PDF driver will work. It wont create fillable PDF forms, but they'll certainly be printable. In Windows you can also use the XPS driver.
  • That looks very nice. A great thing about a nice parchment texture like this is that it can be used for many different things, especially if you use the lighten/darken features.
  • Yes, use File -> Export from the menu. Supports exporting the whole map or a selected portion as jpg, png, and bmp.
  • Whats the chance of it being rolled? Even if you dont limit the number of times it can be rolled, it will eventually not get rolled. It shouldnt hang the program up if you dont hard code a limit. If you want to limit how many times it can be ro…
  • There's also some old symbols on NOX. These were taken from actual medieval maps. They were meant for like FM version 2, but should still be usable in FM8.

  • FM had to deal with non-US formatted numbers as well, particularly in earlier versions. Thats always an annoying gotchya.
  • That should be ok. The Keep will ignore the fields. Just be sure to name the fields something unlikely to be used in future versions of The Keep.
  • If you're asking what algorithm the program itself uses to generate planets, its not quite that simple. There's dozens of algorithms in use. There's a section in the help file that describes the extent of what the generator is doing. Though the a…

  • If I understand what you are trying to do correctly - what you might consider is a 'worksheet' page with the full list of skills/rankings. Then, during an update, use that list, along with any other skills based on stats/race/etc to create the list…
  • yes, of course - use File -> Open Map from the menu.
  • Erin, I think you probably want something like this: function SetBase( f, b) { if (b.checked) { r = 16; } else { r = 20; } return r; } The function you call from the field source has to return a value -…
  • No, I dont think there's a way to do that. I can look at adding such, but it woundnt be for the 1.x version as I dont want to introduce incompatibilities.
  • No, those are the only ones right now. In addition to copying to an array and iterating, are there any others you are looking for?
  • The problem is you are putting the [when] on its own line, so it will get ignored. A [when] is part of an expression. So you need to put it someplace where it will be evaluated - in this case, in the Set statement. Use a temporary variable to hol…
  • I think you just want a deck pick. See the write up in the help file. Table: Main [!MyName] [!MyName] Table: MyName Allen Bradley Carter
  • Yep, the upcoming build has default sizes for fields, so if you happen to just click the page and not drag out a size for the field, it will still be visible and selectable.
  • Thats an excellent example of extending a sheet w/ javascript ronpyatt wrote: Any updates to the user interface coming soon? Over the next week or so there should be a new installer for both the designer and viewer. Did I hear mention of a…
  • In addition to what Kitsune said, you can also add IPP generators as items in the folders, just like any other file. If you add them in this way, it'll be stored within the database and available on any machine. You'll want to do this with self-co…
  • I'm glad you like the algorithim, but since its an algorithm designed specifically for FM to look like coastlines, it is something of a company secret.
  • I've attached an example that has that function for a field source. Javascript can be picky if you're used to other languages. One problem is the "TrueFalse == TRUE", which in JS, you'd just say "if (TrueFalse)" or "if (TrueFalse == true)", sinc…
  • If you are placing this in the field source, no, I dont think this will work because the field source needs to be an expression that returns a value. You could though make a function on the script page, and call that from the field source.
  • ok, I found a problem w/ character sheets that have a '.' in their name (other than for the file extension). That could lead to some unknown behavior by causing the sheet not to load. I cant confirm that this is what is causing the problem you've …
  • This problem I havent seen - can you post/send the image thats not printing?
  • If this is the actual text entries getting altered, what I'd recommend is checking your drive to make sure its ok. Particularly if you are running off of a usb drive. If thats not the problem, please post a screenshot of what the contents of the…
  • There's a thread a couple threads down here in the Keep forum about it. To actually specify the path to the dropbox folder, see the custom database paths topic under 'advanced' in the help file for an example and info about how that works. I set t…
  • Its hard to say without seeing the generator's code. But it sounds like you're on the right track if that one variable is ending up empty.
  • PyroTech03 wrote: Any reason something like this can't be done? The Keep is coded with the idea of swappable database interfaces, so yes, it could be done. Using remote databases does, though, start shifting the nature of the application away …
  • To clarify, these are problems with text fields on character sheets, and not a problem with text entries in the keep. Correct? Off the top of my head I dont know whats causing that. Its been reported a couple times but I've not yet been able to r…
