Sounds good. I know I've seen spreadsheets in the past that do the calcs.

Try something like: MaxReps: 1 Set: x=0 Set: y=0 Set: SizeX=50 Set: SizeY=50 table: go [@{SizeX} x]\n table: x {x==x+1}{y==0}[@{SizeY} y] table: y {y==y+1}xy is {$x}, {$y}\n

Yes, it'll always face the viewer.

You can assign a blazon image to a marker on the map. That will let you show an image. It can't scale, but may suffice.

Posted this under your other post, but it also applies here. Check out Project Rho. It has a lot of this type of math worked out. http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/starmaps/ For larger areas, like nebulas that span multiple light years, you mi…

There's no inherent alignment of the x/y/z coordinates. So they point in any direction you define. If you have existing star maps aligned to Earth's orientation, you'd need to convert the x/y/z positions from Earth-based coordinates to the Galactic …

Yes, that's due to the dictionary keys. If its within the first 10 characters it assumes its intended to be a dictionary key. Its probably disabling output because its switching the table into dictionary mode, so they calls to it are failing. Or som…

IPP does rely on the IE rendering engine, but not IE the application itself. I don't have any indication that the rendering engine itself is being taken out. That would break a lot of things in Windows that rely on it (for example, HTML Help). If t…

If I understand what you are trying to do, what may be best is not to add/subtract the race attributes, but to keep a field (even if its just hidden) that stores the race attribute, and use that field as part of a formula.

In the program menu: "Filters -> Subsectors -> Hide all Subsectors" to hide all systems within all subsectors "Filters -> Subsectors -> Hide unassigned systems" to hide all systems not within subsectors Then: "Filters -> Subsector…

You should be able to use double quotes instead of single quotes around the table result, like: {if( 1d100
-
It was the web viewer, and was released a year ago.
-
You should also be able to use forward slashes for the image path. The standard on Windows is the backslash, but Windows also supports Linux-style forward slash paths in most cases.
-
You're over-complicating things. This multiplies prompt1 by 2, and adds prompt 2. Prompt: Some Number {} Prompt: Some Other Number {} Table: Prompt Test {(prompt1 * 2) + prompt2} Note that braces and parenthesis are not the same thing. Use brac…

No, no eta yet. But it will be released with FM9 which is still looking good for this year.
-
If you're trying to write a formula, it looks like you're using { and } when you should be using normal parenthesis. Please describe the calculation you are trying to achieve.
-
That's what the File->Export Table menu item does in the Windows program. It takes a generator that may be comprised of many files, and combines them into a single file table.
-
You should be able to click on one of the custom color squares at the bottom of the color dialog, select a color, and hit Add to Custom Colors. This is actually the Windows built-in color dialog.

1) I'm not sure why that is. But I would make a normal world (ie, with oceans), and then lower the sea level until the oceans are gone. 2) On export, yes, the next build will output the negative elevations.
-
This looks great, Mark!

Not on the new planet screen. But you can enlarge the map using 'Enlarge Globe' up to 11520x5760. Keep in mind, that will take up a lot of ram.

Yes, both FM9 and FWE will be 64 bit. FWE is getting some updates, not huge, but there's a nice 'new map' window that lets you preview a bunch of planets before they are generated.
-
FM 9 is still on. I just received the sci-fi art for the new sci-fi symbols and they are awesome. Development is slow because NBOS is a p/t business, and the past couple years have had some large distractions. COVID hasn't directly impacted things.

Try: table: example roll is {2d10+1d6-2} If you want to save it to a variable, assign it within the braces table: example {a==2d10+1d6-2} roll is {$a}
-
This would be 'expected' behavior. All variables are considered globals, so once set, they are available everywhere.

Any of the functions and classes listed in the API can be used in a script, plus whats available in VBScript by default (Trim(), InStr(), etc).
