Variables can't be used as weights because the weight is parsed by the program as the generator is loaded, while the table item lines are only processed as they are encountered.
-
Yes, the product is alive and well.
-
Ah, good hint. Whatever WINE was using by default may have been keeping the file open, preventing it being written to.
-
Any text editor can be used. The .ipt files are just text files.
-
Unfortunately, I'm not an iOS developer, and I don't really have the available time to get up to speed with all that's necessary to get a beta program going through TestFlight. That's basically what I meant by no easy way to do a beta. That, and A…

This does look like a bug. You should be able to set the date format for the log entry to something sortable alphabetically by setting the format in "File -> Database options for (database name)" from the menu, and then the "Log Format" tab.

Congratulations on map 400, Mark!
-
Its just at the very early idea stage. Looking at possibly switching to different development frameworks and some other items. I still have to get Fractal Mapper 9 out first, which is taking longer than I hoped.
-
FM doesn't support map projections. You'd likely need something like ArcGIS for that. What you might be able to do if you need a top down projection is view the world in the globe tool (View -> Show in Globe from the menu), capture a screenshot…

Use File -> Import -> Import CSV Data from the menu. Then select the CSV file you downloaded.

Here's a sample using recursion to find a body by UABI. This was a quick hack, so may not be the most efficient. #plugin UABI Finder #author NBOS #desc Finds a body by UABI using recursion Dim WasFound, FoundBody Dim s sector = Ge…
-
Every body has an IDString property, which is the UABI. This looks like its missing in the docs. Its actually a property of an ancestor class, which is probably why it was missed in the docs. For ex: sector = GetCurrentSector() b = sector.GetSys…
-
Unfortunately there's not going to be an instant way to import that data. It looks like that generator has a JSON export, so that may be the easiest to use. What may be easiest is to make a script in some programming language (python or php perhap…
-
I don't know if that script works with Astro 3. Astro 3's files (.AstroDB) are SQLite databases. You can use the SQLite3 command line tool to generate the CSV output. Or use the programming language of your choice to open the file directly. Eve…

Could you have installed the 1.01e update by accident? That would explain the license file error as it'd be looking for a v1 license file. The latest Keep 2 version is 2.01d.
-
No, haven't seen this problem. Which version of Skwyre is this - Windows, Android, Mac, Linux?
-
No, its not discontinued. You got this error from the auto-updater?
-
If you want flat roofed buildings, you can use the polypath tool. It works similarly to the smart building, just without the angled roofs. You can probably find a decent rooftop tar pattern online if thats the look you are going for.
-
No, it works like a spreadsheet where the full state is calculated after each change, regardless of what changed.
-
Progress on Skwyre slowed because Fractal Mapper 9 is the higher priority at the moment. But its still active. I was working on adding rotating and scaling minis last week. Once I have that and the ability to select a server, I'll roll out the ne…
-
Not for 32bit integers. But it looks like if you use 16bit integers it should output negatives.
-
Yes, everything the map will default to looking like a star. What you can do is set the blazon image for your nebula to something else (its one of the tabs in the system Properties window). You'll have to come up with a suitable image for it, but …
-
Yes, you can do that. Use the portable installation option and install directly into your OneDrive/GDrive/DropBox directory. That will put the generators into the same directory as the program. Alternatively, if you already installed IPP, you can…
-
There's no tutorial per se. Everybody seems to use Astro differently. Best thing to do if you have questions about how to use it is to post here.
-
Glad you liked it! Actually, I'm really glad you used it at the game table, since that's the primary idea behind it. For hiding/showing maps, you can use the Archive feature. Basically click and hold down on the map number (1, 2, 3, etc) for a fe…
-
You can upload them here if you'd like. NOX is on the agenda for a rewrite. But if you'd like to upload there, just drop me a line at the support email address and I'll send you a regcode/access code pair that you can use.
-
Glad the updates all went through!
-
Ok, I figured out what was going on. Had nothing to do with The Keep or the Updates. It was actually related to how the site uses SSL, which is something that changed just recently. It was throwing off the update checker. I made a quick change o…
-
It should still be live. What version of the keep do you have at the moment? (Help-About from the menu)
