I think you can set the field's List property at runtime. ie, Field1.List = "mynewlist". You can also look at setting up an 'OnOpen' event to create various lists you might use on the sheet all at once when the file is opened.

Did you install & run FM8 before trying to apply the update? It will report its location to windows when you do that.

They should have sent you one. Drop them an email and they should be able to send you one. If not, pls send an email to support2 at nbos.com.

I havent gotten a chance to really go over the items he wrote up yet. It looked like there was a lot of good feedback there. But in general I'm a big believer in keeping projects in scope. Unsuccessful projects often end up that way because the…

Just to clarify for others who might be browsing and unfamiliar with the program, there's no maximum map size in FM. You can set it to any size in any scale (feet, miles, kilometers, light years, etc). For image exports, I just made a png of of …

When it downloaded, it was a .jpg, and I used Inkscape to convert it to a .png, which, for some reason I thought would be a friendlier format... maybe this is my issue? It sounds like you're trying to open JPG and PNG files as if they are Fra…

To specifiy a local file, use 'file:' in the url for the src, like: <img src='file:c:\path\to\file.jpg'> or perhaps with the double \\'s. If you still dont see the image, right click on the box with the red x, and look at it's …

Those look great Richard. if you want to go with a topo look, you might try using thin strips of fractal polygons w/ some level of transparency, to simulate mountain ridge shadows. I've never done that - its jsut something I thought of when look…

Best thing to do in this case if you have it set to use external file references like that, is delete the node for the old file position, and add a new one back in for the new position. The only way to actually change the path to the file when usin…

Joe M answered this on the mailing list, but I'll add it here for others with this question... IPad outputs HTML, and displays its results within an embedded web browser. So you can output html tags from your script. The one trick to keep in m…

btw, the gas giant generation (all atmosphere generation, actually) has been redone for AS3:

Awesome as always Mark! These are tremendous resources for map makers!!!

It shouldnt be a problem substituting an exe of the same name. I can also look at adding support for custom terrain editors in AS3. That just hasnt been something people have asked for. As for documentation of the FT call.... I dont have anythi…

Which symbols are you seeing? Are you changing both the symbol set and category drop downs to see the other symbols? Are the categories there, and the symbol palette is empty... or are the categories not there? Also you didnt say which build y…

See the 'Solar Systems and Orbit Displays' section in the help file. I think thats what you're looking for.

If you purchased from someplace like RPGNow, you may still be able to re-download the FM7 installer, which was updated at one point to use a different installation system that runs fine under 64bit Windows. If you have a CD, the full installation d…

FM8 supports combining polygons together (and several similar operations)... but I believe that was also supported in FM7. The rotation tool rotates objects around a center point.

You can assign a Blazon image to the star, which gets displayed on the star map in place of the star itself. You can also choose to display that blazon wrapped around a sphere, like a planet. The sample image I think you were referring to was cr…

You're using the file name for the table being rolled on. ie, [@UnusualCreatures.ipt] You dont need to do that. Just use the name of the table in the included file. Once you 'include' an external file, you call its tables just …

If you're not already running this version, try this update:

Its normal behavior. After creating a certain number of systems, it writes the info to disk to free up ram. Once its done saving, which may take a while, it will continue generating. What I dont understand is this: skprtod914 wrote: I've tried…

Wow, those look wonderful Mark! A nice Christmas suprise! :-) And a Merry Christmas to you and the other Vintyri members as well!

The when's need to be on the same line. Remember, each line is a separate item in the table. So if you spread the whens across multiple lines, each one will be treated as an individual table item, and only evaluated if the 'When' clause is true if…

you should be able to do [!{1d4} InterestingPlaces2] Note that you need to leave a space after the embedded dice tag.

Create a separate top-most text-entry, and store your campaign under that. The Keep uses a real SQL database under the hood, so its very capable of handling many campaigns all at once. Alternatively, see the 'advanced' section of the help file f…

Thats interesting to say the least - I've never heard of anything like that. Does this occur on all the objects you try to color? ie, landmasses, lines, text, circles, etc? Bothe lines and fill colors? What color resolution are you running in? …

The next version of Astro will display multiple star systems in the system diagram. This is actually something thats been discussed many a' time on the mailing list. Basically, there is no mathematical means of pre-calculating stable orbits for sy…

For your own images, you can still just drag out a rectangle when placing the symbols, and it will automatically size additional instances of that image at that size. Alternatively, you can add a symbol metadata file into the symbol directories f…

Which symbols are you referring to? Some of the symbols - mainly the battlemap symbols, have a height and width in feet already assigned to them. They will place themselves on the map at a fixed size regardless of the zoom level if you have an a…
