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?
-
Based on your username srhoag, I do believe I remember you from those cons in Milwaukee :-)
-
I wouldnt want to support the 3d view in astro, but I had thought about doing some sort of 'search' panel when you add a sector file to the Keep. Basically it'd give you a panel (like the map viewer or word processor) that provided a search box, an…
-
It'll use SQLite at first. Thats what the Keep uses as well. So you'd be able to query the database on your own using any tool that can access an SQLite database. Depending on time and people's interest, I may be able to interface with other data…
-
You can certainly do that, but its going to depend on how duplicated the systems are. Are they separate entries with the same name, or do they have duplicate IDStrings. If they have duplcate IDStrings it'll be easier since you can just check for t…
-
I'm not sure what you're referring to when you say 'frame'. Are you talking about miniatures? Or html containers? You can resize the grid in every version of SM - just drag the ruler just above the map to the left or right.
-
ScreenMonkey Lite doesnt support scripts. You're more than welcome to use it as a tool in your endeavors. For using the miniatures as a map making tool, yes, its been proposed.
-
You dont provide any info about your system or if that file is even there. But if I had to guess, I'd say you're running Vista which by default prevents applications from writing to the Program Files directory, which is why the report file isnt bei…

The next time I'm under the hood I'll take a look to see if there's anything can be done to speed things up, but any major changes to the viewer will probably have to wait until the next full version update. For the PDF, root items can only be te…

No, not really. The system uses light years internally. About the best you can do is set it up such that each LY = 1 of the firefly units, and ignore the 'LY' in the distance measurements.

Add a MaxReps entry at the top of your generators. That will limit the reps to whatever maximum limit you assign. ie, MaxReps: 50

I would do something like: Table: percentile [@d][@d] Table: d Type: Lookup Roll: 1d10 1:1 2:2 3:3 4:4 5:5 6:6 7:7 8:8 9:9 10:0
