Your welcome to try ViewingDale - there is also a free trial. http://www.viewing.ltd.uk/cgi-bin/viewingdale.pl?category=free_trial The trial has limited artwork to keep the download to a half reasonable size. You can look at the screen shots / movies etc to get more idea of the style of maps...

"It will weigh 2.5 pounds, and Palm says it will offer up to 5 hours of battery life, even when using Wi-Fi ." This looks quite cool. Its just a laptop but a nice ultra portable one and not too expensive either. It will be interesting to see what kind of processor it runs on and what graphics...

Hang on guys - this is really old stuff ! There is this :- http://www.touchtable.com/site/index.php or even this - THIS is the ULTIMATE gaming table... http://www.ms.northropgrumman.com/images/TerrainTable_FS.pdf But almost everything that you guys are raving about exists right now. I have...

I think what you need to take a look at are virtual table top applications a.k.a VTT's. I write one but its not a free one (see my sig). But there are many with various different amounts of features and capabilities - some better than others of course. I cant comment for anyone else's...

The quick launch is just another tool bar. A tool bar is a collection of shortcuts which you can dock on the main / bottom app bar or you can drag them to the desktop and they make a window filled with the shortcuts. To get an app into a tool bar you just drag the shortcut from the desktop into...

I have come to ask for guidance Priest Sidran... Not being part of the order of Vista, I wonder whether you could enlighten me as to the benefits of the teachings of Sidebar and how different it is from the practices of Quick Launch Bar, Custom Tool Bar or merely Desktop Shortcuts. I am from...

Im absolutely not an excel wizard so forgive me if im miles out but could you not add a value to all the row numbers from a single box. If this box value is 0 then all the rows with 0 in them would then be 0+0. If the single value box had a 1 then all the row values would be 0+1 etc. Now if you...

I think the task of specifying whether a PC is going to be able to run an application properly is almost impossible. The best you can do is offer some kind of demo and see whether its acceptably fast or not. The CPU power is just one of many factors in a system capability. You can have an...

This core business is really quite simple. Each core runs one thread of execution at any moment in time. Any program must have at least one thread as their main thread but you may also code up programs to have more than one thread so do tasks alongside the main thread. So with a dual core and...

Forgive me for saying so but for me the whole point in playing D&D is to make those kind of decisions. I like to use a certain kind of weapon because I think my character would or it would fit in with his personality. The rules are a framework within which you can gauge the outcome of your role...

Try using GhostScript and GhostView - it uses a different postscript library to Acrobat. The FixIT reader might use this same library too so try that. Also, you could try - though its only marginal that this might work - to print the file to a printer as a post script document without using...

Hey Toga, A few friends and myself have been keeping an eyeball pointing in this direction for a while. It looks great. Its been kinda web silent for a while but the release date is next year so I guess they are busy ! Thanks for the heads up on the pics - they rock.

No. It can save out extremely large images at full res of the battle field. Once you have this image however you can use an image splitter to sent it to a printer. The image splitters generally create PDF documents to print out. The one below is quite neat as you can specify overlap too...

I wasn't going to keep posting about my mapping program but alas I feel I must. Firstly there are a lot of mapping programs out there and they all have different styles and purposes so you have to get to know each one and decide which one fits the way you want to make maps. Some people like...

Only thing I can think of is that the browser is running a media player and that media players volume is off or muted even though the system volume and mute is ok. You could try running up windows media player and seeing if its volume slider is off... There might be an obvious reason but I cant...

I love the scale for that map !!! Now is that 2 minutes walk for an venerable arthritic halfling drunkard in full plate or 2 minutes of monk master after two cups of el zingos super caffeinated expresso ? You should run over to www.rpgmapshare.com and look at the maps there and maybe upload...

No one really talked much about the file transfer. If I had an old machine that had a lot of stuff on it then I would definitely definitely go out and get a LAN and set up your two machines so that they can each see the others files. If you have internet access via ADSL or some broadband then...

ViewingDale does mapping in grids and hexes both at any scale. Instead of clicking on the hex you can just zoom in and get more detail so by updating the map at the 6 mile hex res, the map at 24 mile scale will be updated automatically because its the same map. Because its just one map, when...

What issues have you had ? The 8800 has been targeted as the DX10 card and I believe that you need Vista to run that. The current DX10 demo requires Vista so I guess they made it with it. Is it unstable ? and do you have oodles of PSU power for it ? I'm considering an 8800 card when they produce...

ViewingDale has been written specifically to address this issue. The idea of the program is that you can import any maps into it at any scale and see them all as one giant realm. There is no limit to either the size or complexity of the set of maps that its using to render the whole area. It...
