The 'edit subsectors' window (Sectors -> Edit Subsectors from the menu) will let you toggle the visible/hidden status of subsectors when there's too many for the menus.

'spending' points isnt too difficult to set up. On each item that cost a point, subtract one from a variable (use 'inline' variable assignment). You might also use deck picks, if all you're doing is picking X number of items from tables.

You should be able to just drag the .character file from windows explorer to wherever you want it in the tree in your Keep database.

You'd need to manually set the temperature to the desired value. Temperature calculation is fairly complex - its not solely based on distance to the star, and the effect of atmosphere feeds back on itself and actually alters the atmosphere, which i…

FWE can import terrain data (see the help file for how). Or, you can assign any image you can find/create as the surface map.

See if this does the trick for you, Mark & dcf6:

Wow! Those look excellent Mark! Very nice!!!!!!

Richard, by keeping time, do you mean being able to set a 'global' time for the sector so that when you look at orbits & the travel calculator, it automatically uses that? I can certainly see if I can find some model-loading libraries for 3d …

There's a couple of scripts on nox (http://www.nbos.com/nox/index.php?action=1001&id=281 You'll probably have to adapt them to cycle through all the stars in your sector, but that shouldnt be too difficult. Oh, here's another: http://www.…

I tried a couple times, but I was never much of a consistent blogger, I'm afraid. :-) One of the things I've been working on is an early AS3 build. I'll actually be making this available to testers at some point here. This build will be, for al…

Unfortunately I dont know much about character encoding. You might be able to change the encoding of the player interface (the html pages) to support Cyrillic characters, but I dont know if SM will handle them or not correctly.

Astro3 should be out next summer, but it will still be an OpenGL based application. I may look into a way to force it to use software rendering for cases like this.
-
Display problems like this are difficult to narrow down. Disabling hardware accelleration would force Astro to use software-based opengl rendering. That would let you know if its a video driver thing, or something more related to Astro's functiona…

Which build of AS2 are you running? If you havent already, try this one:

Hi John, Just wanted to follow up - I've been using The Keep & DropBox together, and it does work really well :-) Thanks for the tip! Ed

Hi morkalg, Glad you like the program! Originally the spec called for embedding MS-Office file editing in place (as a node), but there were some problems with integrating with it so that couldnt be included in v1. I hadnt thought of looking t…

That sounds like a great solution, John! Regarding the question, basically by default in Windows Vista/Windows 7 (and previous versions if configured in a certain way), programs cannot write into the Program Files directory for security reasons, …

No, there's no 'erase' per se. FM is vector graphics based program, so the graphics you create are a combination of individual objects (lines, landmasses, etc) that are on the map, not pixels being set in an image. So, to 'erase', you remove the o…

I tweaked the forum settings to allow .csd files, so please upload the example.

There's no 'official' xml format per se. The xml import/export is done via scripts, but the scripts can be modified or re-written to suit your needs. Check out the downloads section of nox (http://www.nbos.com/support/docs/AlienAPI/index.html

Hi Rogue, Yes, there's a couple ways of doing that. What it sounds like is you want to host the game announcements on your website so that if RPGLife is unreachable, players can still find your computer. The easiest way to do it is to sign up…

You dont provide any information about the system this is occuring on or the about graphic in question. What is a 'large' image? Are we talking in pixel dimensions, or file size? What OS are you using? XP? Vista? Linux & Wine? Are you run…

The field source is where you put the calculations for a calculated field. Its just a javascript expression that evaluates to some value. See the help file for a description of it. You can also look at the example character sheets with the design…

Not sure - they should work in the Keep. My generators w/ prompts show ok. Is this a home made generator or one of the included ones?
-
It looks like some of them are distributed as OpenOffice Extensions rather than just separate dictionary files. But you can still get at them! Download the .oxt file, and then rename it with an extension of .zip. OpenOffice uses the zip format …

Glad you like! Its javascript, not java, by the way. They're two completely unrelated languages despite the name. There's no tutorial per se as the interface between javascript and the designer is pretty minimal. Any javascript tutorial will…

Yes, The Keep uses the same spellchecking library as OpenOffice and FireFox, so there's many dictionaries available. See this article for how to add new spell checking dictionaries:

Are you running the latest version of the program?
