    Another question : Is there any dependencies like .NET or other things that could make problems ?

    Hey,

    thats very strange. It does not have the problems with the coordinates or?
    .Net 4.5 is required for the tool to work. Nothing more.

    Can you redownload the tool. I just changed it and put it back the same way coordinates are saved just manually forcing him to take a "." instead of "," for values under >1. If this does not work... well then im really puzzled.

    Hello,
    As you say, it's very curious...
    I use .NET 4.6.1 actually and normally, as Microsoft say, it's fully compatible with 4.5.

    I try again. :)

    EDIT :
    No way. Not reading colors from original file.
    I try to do it with generated file and if no result, i try to change .NET to 4.5.

    EDIT2 :
    I can see on generated file that i have modified colors.
    Aestus Orbit show color: 0.43, 0.23, 0.03 on my Notepad++ editor but when i load it with your tool, all is set to 0.

    I try to reinstall .NET with your version.

    EDIT3 :
    Well, putting .NET 4.5 is not the solution. The problem is still here.
    The colors are saved when modified but not read by your tool.

    Well, i tried to put colors like :
    color: 1, 2, 1.23
    It was written correctly.
    When i load this, it show 1 2 0 on your tool. So if the tool see a number with a ".", it set it to 0.

    Sorry but it is same. Not working.

    Perhaps a keybind problem ? yaml dll's not good for internationalisation ? Or something similar ?

    I tried to change keybinds from FR to DE or EN with no way ...

    On page 4 of this thread, we can see a picture of a member with the same problem. All colors set to 0.

    Hi,

    I think it's a problem with the Language and Region Setting. Try to change in Formats -> Other Settings.

    :( hm... ok. Could you show me a screenshot of your Language and Region Settings Patwar.
    Maybe I can reproduce it then and figure out a way to fix it for all cultures.
    I think I know how to do it, but If I can reproduce it I can make sure it really works.

    OK Thank's.

    Symbol was empty because in france we don't use "." and don't separate numbers with it.
    but i set symbol for grouping numbers to "." and selected grouping numbers to 123456789.

    And :

    OOH MY GOD, IT'S WORKING !!!

    Thank you for this search orientation ThalonMook. I think it will really serve some other users of this tool !

    For french people :
    Aller dans le panneau de config, Horloge, langue et région, cliquer sur région et langue.
    Aller dans paramètres supplémentaires et ajouter le "." dans Symbole de groupement de chiffres. Choisir le groupement de chiffres de votre choix (pas d'importance), Appliquez and voilà !

    Sorry i forgot to answer you.
    I think to reproduce it, you have to empty symbol setting so suppress the ".".

    Thanks a lot. Happy to hear that it works. Did not know that there is no "." possible.

    How do you change the name of the playfield? In the yellow bar. I seem to be having some issues with that. My planets will not appear until they have names, correct? This is what I'm looking at. Thanks for any help.

    Hey everyone,

    We have some exciting NEWS: Our Playfield Generator will be discontinued! :eek:

    ....Wait a minute....You call that exciting? :(

    Dont worry ;). Its not the end! We just combine our energy and work togehter with another project from the community. Shortly after we announced that we will continue working on this project again, another Playfield Designer popped up.
    We were quite excited, since jmcburn already got quite a lot done, more then we saw with any other Generator so far. He is also a very nice guy and willing to support that project. We on the other hand have quite a lot to do with the EAH-Tool and could not spend as much time as we wanted on this project.

    Therefore we talked with him and also with the Devs and decided that we will rather support his Designer and also implement our part of the Generator into his. So nothing is lost.
    For the community this is GREAT News since its an insurance that the project will not be stopped like all the others, but due to the Devs and also our support, we can make sure that it will be kept alive. And I dont think a first Version is so far off anymore :).
    Until the first stable Version is out we will of course keep our Generator up to date. But we will not implement the Playfield.yaml into this one.

    So please, from now on keep on following this Thread for more news! :)

    Greetings

    Your HWS Team

    I understand it is discontinued, but I believe the last version may have a game saving bug. Looks like it is not saving the YAMLs properly.

    Oh. I will check it. What exactly is not saving, or nothing saving at all?

    It changed this:
    Code:
    - Coordinates: [0, 0, 0]
    To this:
    Any collection was expanded.

    I suppose. They are both correct, but it's hell to read when manually editing the file later.
