You cant select the specific direction being viewed from along a give axis. About the only thing you can do here is disable the system scaling, which should make the systems look the same from either direction.

The relationship between the orbital period and distance are fixed by physics. A body orbiting at a specific distance around a specific mass has a specific orbital period. If you just want to override the value that gets displayed, you can custo…

You can certainly generate system information with inspiration pad... but you'd need to use a script to get the pieces of generated information into your sector file. ie, you'd have to use a script to, for example, extract a planet's size from the …

A lot of Joe May's generators use . Take a look at his Bazaar generator (you can download it from the link at the top of the page):

What you can do is assign a variable in each table entry for the number of settlements I think something like this would work: Table: PoliticalEntity Type: Lookup Roll: 2d6 2:[numcities==1]Free City (1 hex) 3-4:[numcitie…

If you right click on a body in the system data display, you can select 'delete -> delete system contents', which will delete all the child bodies.

Very cool!

There's an inspiration pad class in the plugin api that can be used to access ipad generators, but that needs to be used via a script - there's no way to use an ipad generator directly.
-
Yep, it'll use multiple processors. Primarily for the surface map generation, which can use all the processors. Between optimizations and multi-threaded support, surface map generation is almost 90% faster than AS2's. So fast, in fact, that you d…
-
The next version, which hopefully will be available by the end of the year, is fully multi-threaded. So you can pan and zoom around on the map, and add/edit things, as the system generator is running.
-
Also, it could just be running. If you look at the task manager and see the CPU upwards 100%, its probably just doing its thing. Astro2 isnt very good at updating the gui as the process runs, and if you start clicking around you can get that 'not …

Click around on the line, it'll get selected if you hit a node on the line. Worse case, you can use Map -> Clear Annotations from the menu to remove all the annotations.
-
No, annotations cant be edited - just moved and deleted. This is true for any edition of SM.

Is a system selected on the map before you open the search window? I just tried it with the Sol example, and seems ok.
-
When you checked out at RPGNow/DriveThru, a registration code should have been displayed. Depending on your privacy settings, it also would have been emailed to you after checkout (check your spam folder...may be in there). With that, use the onli…

Is he using the external IP address to connect? If so, try changing that to using your PC's local ip address (usually starts with 192.).

I think you just need the latest update:
-
Most ISP's nowadays require you to log in to send email, which SM doesnt support. Or they now use an alternate port for outgoing email and SSL security, which SM also doesnt support. So its likely you cant use the email announcement. A recommen…

The database system being used is SQLIte - which is what The Keep also uses. There may be ODBC drivers for it, I dont know, but there are tons of database tools for issuing direct queries, and support for accessing it's databases is essentially uni…

Have you used the Install Character Sheet menu under the File menu? How did you install the Keep... as a desktop app, or in portable mode?

What does 'having trouble' mean? Is the installer not launching? is it crashing? Is this FM8, or are you trying to install an older version? Also, many people have installed FM under Windows 7... could there be something else going on thats *n…

How long is it taking? 20 ly shouldnt take much time at all. I just created a 20ly cube on my 10 year old testing machine, and it took about 30 seconds at a normal density, and 2 minutes for the highest density. On a more recent machine, it took …

Not via the web interface, but this build:

I took a look at the sheets. There was a field called totalacc1 that, well, I have no idea where it was on the sheet itself. It may have been off the page for some reason. I made a 'select by field name' option in the menu, used that to find the …
-
Sure - upload it to the forum so it can be checked out.
-
Glad to hear that worked. You probably had the driver - it ships with the keep. Its just an older version. I'm not sure of the exact cause of the problem, but occasionally certain Windows 64bit installations seem to have a problem loading the sql…

Do you have a router... and if so, have you forwarded the port on it?

Is this a non-English version of Windows, by any chance? Try downloading this version of the database driver:

Its very, very unlikely FM would be altered to support geographic coords like that. That would literally involve replacing the current graphics/rendering engine with a new one. More likely, if I were ever to add support for this sort of thing in…
