  • You'll probably need a different font as the size is not configurable. I tried with that font in a word processor and the font itself does render small compared to other fonts of the same size for some reason. I've seen that with a few other fonts…
  • If you can find an appropriate image, you can assign it as a blazon image for the system where the cloud is. If you want something larger that spans multiple light years, you'd probably have to set a marker on the map and define an area of influenc…

  • Glad you're safe and sound, Mark! Looking forward to your future creations!
  • The full Milky Way has hundreds of billions of stars, so its not something Astro would be able to map out in its entirety. But if you just want a general disk shape, you might use a script to compress the stars in a spherical sector along the Y (ve…
  • Yes, when you include an external table that's in a different file, its loaded and inserted into the current generator file. So every table is treated as if its in the same file. That said, if you intend to use this external table in other generat…
  • You probably want something like: Prompt: Modifier {} Table: GetRoomContents [#{1d100+$prompt1} RoomContents] Table: RoomContents type: lookup 1-2:Level appropriate Deadly Encounter (see Chapter 16). Loot 55%, Clue 75%. Ro…

  • If anyone needs an invite code to join, please email support2 at nbos.com and I'll send you one. Unless you're a spammer
  • Interesting... thanks for figuring it out. You probably won't be the only one that gets bitten by that. A couple years ago a Windows update wiped out my wife's purchased copy of MS Office... and that's their own software!
  • Maybe your anti-virus software is doing it? Or Windows update is screwing something up? There's nothing in the Keep that would enable it to delete itself like that. Is this v2?
  • Nice!

  • Where do you have it installed on your drive? If its installed into a directory that has spaces in its name, 1.02f, which is a Windows 3.1 program that expects strict 8.3 file naming, may not be able to handle that.
  • Can you clarify this? Its not clear when this is happening for you.
  • Look in the appendix of the help file - there's a section the Natural Language Search.
  • What's the version that you have (help -> about in the menu)? You should be able to use the auto updater (help -> check for updates) to update to the most recent general purpose release. If you have a particularly old build of AS3, you may h…
  • I think its just the "d6". That may have to be d6(), or you may have to roll your own dice function. I don't remember off hand if the designer has those built in.
  • I re-uploaded a new Astro executable that is signed with the NBOS code signing certificate. This should make Windows happier when you try to run it. http://www.nbos.com/support/astro301f2/Astro3.exe
  • Here's an updated build. Replace your existing Astro3.exe with this one. Also takes care of the brown dwarf search problem in the query builder. http://www.nbos.com/support/astro301f2/Astro3.exe NOTE: This executable is not signed. I'm in the p…
  • And I'm going to have to close it again due to spam attacks. Sorry.
  • Yep, it looks like it was something introduced in the last update when the temperature calcs were tweaked a bit. Just to clarify, this is only related to 'free planets' - planets that are not part of a star system. I'll see if I can post a fix thi…
  • Here's a PDF version
  • They are SQLite databases, just like the keep.db files. Except they also have the file attachments included in the database (as opposed to the keep.db file, that keep them separately so they can be loaded and saved). What happens when you try to i…
  • Thanks much and glad you are enjoying it! The Keep is indeed an understated work horse. I use it myself for everything.
  • Registration is back open
  • The id column is a reference to the database row, so you don't have to worry about that. It doesn't define anything about the body. Its auto incrementing, so you can leave it out of your sql and the database will automatically assign an id to new …
  • You'll probably want to put in empty values to the fields you aren't using. If in doubt, look at an existing database and see whats stored for fields where they aren't needed. I think its just defaults (usually 0 or an empty string)
  • The star coloring was done differently in the older version. I don't think you can change them in v3. You should be able to change the label color by searching for something like this in advanced search: Systems with, political = "MyNation" Then…
  • Full version updates aren't free updates, but they will be available at a big discount to owners of previous versions.

  • Email me one of each (3DS or OBJ) file, or a link to them, to the support address support2 at nbos.com. Otherwise I'd just be guessing what the issue is. You are talking about showing up in the 3d map, correct? Or the preview? (because that requi…
  • On some of those drivers, even a simple settings change can impact how it works. So its not even always a change to the drivers themselves. Made for some fun tech support back in the day
