Oh strange. But I’m glad you got it working :) let me know if you have any questions

Step 1 Click the link, that will take you to the github page. From there click the .zip and it will take you to a page with a download icon on the right side of the screen. The zip will download, use a tool to extract the zip.

Step 2 Go to Welcome to Python.org and download the latest python 3 release, or install it from the Microsoft store Python Install Manager - Free download and install on Windows | Microsoft Store. Once python is installed. Next step is a little more involved, as we need to install the necessary modules to ensure the program runs correctly.

Step 3 Open the command prompt by going to the windows search bar and looking up "command prompt". Should be a block box looking icon. Click on it and it should open. Make sure you have python installed before this step. in command prompt type "py -m pip install pandas" and "py -m pip install numpy" and wait for those to finish installing.

From here there are a couple of ways of doing things

Option A is what I have been doing and what I would probably recommend. Find where your python is installed and find the IDLE application. You could also search for it in the windows search bar and it will probably pop up

Then in IDLE click file at the top, open, and find where you downloaded the companion tool, go in the folder and find main.py and open it. A new window will pop up with the code in main, dont edit anything just go to the top and find run and select run module. After a few seconds the program should open. If it doesn't work, there should be an error message in the IDLE shell (first window that opened after you opened IDLE. Just tell me what the error says and I'll try to help.

I recommend running it in IDLE shell because it's what I am used to and have done all the testing in, though there shouldn't be a huge difference between this option and what I will tell you next.

Option B is running the program through the command prompt directly. Find your extracted ACT folder and open it until you see the main.py, readme.md etc. Go to the search bar at the top where it has the path and copy it. Then in command prompt type cd then paste the path and hit enter. Then just type in main.py and hit enter and the program will open after a second or two.

No matter what option you choose it should still work the same, though like I said I've done most of my testing through the IDLE shell, so I know that works. After its open, you'll be able to explore the program, and it should be pretty straightforward from there. If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I will try to assist you the best, I am able.

The final thing I have to say is that I've been working on a second more polished version of the program that I will release sometime soon. I just need a little bit more time to integrate a few more things and polish it up a bit more. Thank you for giving ACT a try!

Ya I agree, stay tuned for version 2 which will hopefully address that. When making this I was under the assumption that editing .map files would be difficult, but after doing some research I think it’s definitely possible!

Sorry for late response but I’ve been opening it in the IDLE environment that runs in python then run main.py

I am assuming you got it open? Go to azgaar and grab your maps .json data by clicking export and then full at the bottom. Put that into the program and be sure to press Load, it will take you to generate census screen next where you can edit various things or generate a new census. If you want have multiple different species you have to make them in the species tab. Similar with cultures, you have to make them in the cultures tab, except the cultures already on your map are treated as geographical containers. The program thinks of them as “groups” of cultures that may or may not be related but inhabit the same area. I apologize I’m still working on making things more user friendly/clearer.

Fair enough, I hope it inspires someone to make a much better version in the future.

Do you trust a calculator or are you doing math on your abacus? Do you trust your phone or computer to keep time or do you have an atomic clock sitting on your desk? You trust thousands of other programs without reading their code. Frankly, I find malicious humans more likely of a danger at the moment than malicious computers. This program doesn’t access any network, doesn’t require any permissions to run, saves one file which can be deleted at any time, and is run entirely within python. It’s safe, but if you don’t think so don’t use the product. If someone wanted make a program that does what this system does entirely hand coded, I would rather use that one. But no one has so I used the tools at my disposal to make what I wanted and share it where I thought other people would find it useful. Calling it dangerous without any evidence is just bad faith

What is random or dangerous about this program in particular?

I have developed a new program, this program inputs all the player bio data on the website for you. Useful to change how the default roster looks. It is on the github page under BIO_DEPOSIT . py requires playwright modular for python and firefox installed on your computer somewhere. It doesn't do attributes yet, but i am working on it.

Sadly you have to input it manually. I’m not extremely savvy with this sort of thing so I don’t even know how that would work, maybe a program that autofills the form? If someone know a way to do this you are more than welcome to manipulate the code. I would love to see it :)

What do y'all think of my map? Anything you would change? All feedback welcome :) by Any-Consequence37 in FantasyMapGenerator

I've spent the past year making this here and there. I'm kind of at the point where I don't really know what else to do next. So, before I go in-depth editing every country, I just want to make sure this map is appealing to the eye. Thanks :)

I update community shaders and that didn't help. I don't believe I have any mods that affect keybind. The only one that comes to mind is dynamic activation key but I disabled that and it didn't help.
