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…
-
you'd need to provide more information. What the image looked like, what the settings were, etc. You say it hung, but if your contour levels were set too small, it was probably just still processing.

Hi Lee, unfortunately no, thats not something I'd be able to add in. Arbitrary 'blobs' like that in 3D arent easy to calculate, nor would the user interface required to define such an area be feasable to implement.

Add a default value for the drop-down after the list of entries: Prompt: Choose your item class {Components|Fumes|Snuff|Poisons|Drugs|Powders|No Choice} Components You cant use 'Random' as a default because its not one of the items in the list.…

If you'd like to test it, you can get it now

Since I had a planned update to the Keep coming this week, I went ahead and added some shortcuts. The bold, italic, and underline shortcuts in the word processor, and printing, move up/down, rename in the folders. The copy/paste ended up being tri…

lol, yes, for DOS program, PC-GP was pretty darn cool. It even later supported that new fangled device called a mouse :-) It was actually more like '92 or '93. I remember you visiting the booth! I do know exactly what you are talking about. I…
-
They certain can be added - specifically which ones?
-
Screen shots certainly wouldnt hurt. How they are getting messed up may give me a clue about where the problem might be.
-
Unfortunately, I wasnt able to duplicate the problem. I could update sheets and make changes to their design without any problem. Do you have this installed as a 'desktop' installation, or a 'portable' one? Also, this is kind of a dumb questi…

You should be able to just draw the symbol out again on the map, and it will update it with the new size. ie, dont just place it on the map, but actually specify a rectangle to place the symbol within.
