Since I had a hand in creating this... My players behave themselves; newbies generally get a warning or two. Hit the gaming message boards, and search for...
Players usually get really angry with limitations that stick like that. The way that I usually deal with it is by saying, "That's the rule when you play my...
Is it possible to create a fog of war effect in AutoRealm so that I can create a map, and place a fog of war on it, then save as jpg so the players only see...
If you're talking about removing the "fog" from a JPG, it can't easily be done. A JPG is one layer. However, multiple JPGs would work, as would using the JPG...
I'm not sure about a "fog of war", but you can create overlays. Overlays in AutoREALM aren't a z-layer or depth effect, but rather a selective way to associate...
I have made a map and when I go to print, it is difficult to select and print out the map the same way every time. Lately my map, when shown in the pint region...
Just brainstorming, but you may have an object or objects that have somehow ended up way on the outside fringe of your map. I think the "print region" will...
[moderator message: sorry for the delay.] ... You can try making a separate layer for your fog but AutoRealm has a very hard time putting hole in objects. My...
I did find a text object about 10 miles away from my map. After deleting it things are back to where they were. I still would be interested in any ways to do...
I don't have AutoRealm on the computer I'm typing from, but if memory serves, there are two ways to print a "selected area": (1) create a "view" and then...
Thanks The print selected region works best for me however the fixed aspect ratio is a bit bothersome. Hard to get a consistent selection with equal white...
I seem to have found a bug with text objects. When you have 2 or more text objects that are identical. The 2nd and all additional identical text objects will...
There is probably a bug in the object aliasing code, which I wrote. Could you post a simple series of steps that I can do to recreate the problem? If I can...
Here is how to recreate the bug: 1. Open a new file. 2. Draw 3 simple objects such as boxes in a column. (Not required but helps as a reference). 3. Put some...
I am not able to recreate your error on my machine. I followed your steps below and even tried multiple movements of objects and could not get the text...
I tried your steps, and I didn't see the problem. Are you using the newest version? There was a problem with the object aliasing code with a slightly older...
Soory I found the post message box---was blind---but I still want to know if I can get another Read Me for AutoREALM mapper. If you dont know the answer I will...
I have version 2.0 which I downloaded about a month ago. My Autorealm.exe file is 2674 KB dated 7/24/2003 9:56pm I have the same problem on 3 computers. XP and...
Kevin, I tried again and I still cannot recreate your situation. I am using 2.1, I don't know if there would be a difference or not. I tried copy/paste of...
OK I just found version 2.1 and downloaded it. http://autorealm.sourceforge.net/index.php Now I don't have the text bug. I must have found an old web site. I...
Is it ok to use the autorealm software for comercial use? such as map to buisness, board games etc? the License on the official site wasn't clear to me if...
... I cannot imagine why you couldn't use your own maps for a commercial product. Your own maps are, after all, your intellectual property (I abhor that term.)...
...so a couple of messages will be unlocked, next to this one. Sorry for the delay. If someone is interested for moderating, please let me know. I could use...
Bill, I tried this on 3 of my machines. Dell Laptop & desktop both with with Win XP, and my old Win ME machine. I was able to reproduce the problem on all of...
2.1 works. I had no idea there was a newer version because the Help -> About pull down menu in 2.0 showed a web site link with only the 2.0 version for ...
Hi to who ever can help me---2 problems--- 1) I am a AutoREALM member now but can not seem to find a Start Topic or a reply button for the Forum Threads. Could...
