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.

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…

I uploaded another test build.

Very cool, Tom!

The viewer hasnt been updated, so its not going to look any differently in that than it did before. You say it improved - specifically, in what way? is the shift not as noticable any more? I only adjusted the designer to look at horizontal dpi, s…

You're getting the 'when' in the results because you're missing the corresponding 'end'. Plus, each line is a different entry in a table, so using multiple when's like that will just cause ipad to pick randomly one of them. But you dont need Whe…

I think I found out what the problem is. I suspect whats going on is you laptop's display has a higher dpi than most displays. That can cause the location of items drawn to shift from where the program thinks they are because the program is using …

Yes, you can use habitability w/ the ipp-based name generator. There's a section in the help file under 'advanced usage' that shows the variables that get set that you can use in name generators.

If you want to be able to evaluate planet properties and use that information for naming purposes, you'll have to write a script that loops through all the systems and sets the name. You wont be able to do that sort of thing with the inspiration pa…

that looks like its related to something I encountered on mine called 'bridge' mode. Where rather than simply acting as a modem, the dsl modem acts itself as a router, creating 2 distinct LANS, and thus two distinct sets of local IP addresses. The…

You'd really need to describe better what changes you are making and how you are making them.
-
Yes, there's a limit to what can be displayed in the menu. If you have more than that, you can use the Edit Subsectors window to mark which ones are visible.

Most catalogs provide position information using right ascention, declination, and parallax for telescope usage. You need to convert those to x/y/z coordinates for use in 3D space. see Winchell Chung's Project Rho site for info on converting coo…

its a neat idea, but no, AS doesnt do that. You might consider just generating 10,000 stars, and just hiding the names when you filter things out.
-
whats astrogenesis?? :-) The position in the sector does not affect the system contents that get generated. There was probably something about that system preventing it. ie, it was a space station or nebula.
-
ok, I see what you're referring to. I think the problem is a misunderstanding of what the bitmap import is in FWE. The bitmap import is for converting grayscale height maps (also called bump maps) into fractal mapper maps. What you are importing …
-
Can you post a screenshot with marks of where you are clicking, and where the program thinks you are clicking? Does this happeon only on the sheet, or also in the menus and such?
-
I'm not clear where you are seeing this ... there's no lines per se in FWE. Are you seeing this in FWE, or opening the created .fmp and seeing this in FM? I think what would be best is if you post the image you are trying to import so that I can s…

When task manager says its not responding, that just means its not processing messages from the interface, not that the program isnt processing. Actually, in this case it would mean the app was still calculating. What you might want to do is try…

Will the DB model in AS3 allow me to search up all stars that have a position in a certain defined volume of space? I am thinking that I would want to set the cubical subsectors up and then populate them individually from RW data. You can do t…
