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…

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…
