If I make them into JPGs, we would lose the transparency on them.

do you have snipping tool?

Cut them and paste into paint? Then crop and save.

upload?

It'll still leave the backgrounds (like around the hex) white instead of transparent. But that's not really a big deal for posting them on here I guess. Give me 2 minutes and I should be able to post your hex.

Don't worry too much about it Blend, the text descriptions / viewing it off the drive should work fine.

Also, it's your turn

Hmmm, so it looks like it's not the fact that the documents are PNGs that's stopping me from posting them, it's the URL for the images being on the google drive that's preventing me from posting them. Gotta tinker a bit more.

For Tapper/Tatts/CF if you can't just look at the hexes on the drive:

203 - Double Ancients. 1 of each non-advanced cube slot. Discovery. 1VP. X X X _ X _ wormhole pattern.

I explore SE of my homeworld.

Blend Tier 2 Hex Roll: 1d11 8

That gives me hex # 201

Which really sucks.... Guess I won't be closing Twelve out after all.

I influence, and colonize the money and material planet.

Offer diplomacy to Twelve.

Oh, I see, you have them uploaded in your Gallery don't you?

[twelve]

I was taking a look at the tier II hexes that you had listed above D'rek and I noticed that 204 Vega wasn't in the list. Was this intentional?

You don't get to complain about exploring a hex with two available planets

I'm able to see everything, upload stuff and whatnot using Google Drive through my Chrome browser, but it won't let me link directly to the images on the drive - the board just tells me that file extension is not supported.

Should I basically just be figuring out what my explore is, then posting the tile on here, then providing whatever I need to provide in terms of like orientation, and then allowing someone else to add it to the map and such?

1. First you need to declare what action you want to do. If it's EXPlore, you need to decide where before you can roll. So you post here "I am exploring south of my HW" or whatever. Figure out whether the place you are exploring is Tier 1, 2 or 3.

2. Go to the shared drive and open the text file for that tier of hexes. Let's use Tier 3 for this example. So you open the "tier 3 tiles.txt" file. Check the number at the bottom, right now it is 32.

3. Go to Orokos.com and go to the Dice Roller. Put "ME Eclipse 6" in the campaign field, put an appropriate description (ie: "Blend - explore - hex roll") and put "1d32" in the Dice to Roll field (XdY rolls X number of dice of Y sides).

4. The dice roller will give you a single number result, somewhere between 1 and 32 (or whatever your Y value was). Let's say it was 14. Going back to the Tier 3 hexes text file, we count down from the top. The 14th hex listed is # 325. That is the hex you've explored.

5. Delete that line from the text file, and decrease the number on the bottom of the file (32 to 31).

6. Go to the "Hexes png" folder on the drive and find hex 325. Take a look at it, post the image here in the forum thread if you can, perhaps, etc. Decide how you want to orient it and post that here.

7. Decide if you want to influence the hex (if you can), colonize, etc. If you get a discovery, resolve that the same way (text file, Orokos). Post the results here in the forum thread.

8. Update the SVG file.


--------------

At a minimum, the player needs to declare their action here on the forum thread, and when they get the hex result needs to decide their orientation and whether they influence it, as soon as possible. The next player is entitled to wait until that is done.

Optimally, everyone would be able to do all the above steps, but I'm sure that won't be the case. Most of us probably won't update the SVG file, and others will do that for us. Just do the most of the above you can, and ask others to do the rest when you post your action. For example, during the daytime I'll be able to see the google drive files but not edit them, so I can do my own Orokos rolls and see the hexes I get, but will ask people to edit the text files.

Could we add this to the op? I haven't tried to do this yet myself... Well tried briefly the other day but wasn't getting very far on my work computer. Fighting a nasty cold and dealing with Year End audit so brain dead when I get home. Will try and see if I can get this to work for me over the weekend.

No Idea. This was the first time I saw any of the lists. On my cheat sheet I didn't even know there was a 271 or a 295. Are those two the Ancient homeworld hexes?
