Hi Chris, thanks for the support. The system should have immediately sent you a confirmation e-mail. The test sign-up I used worked fine, but it was not obvious the list was sending the request. The subject currently has "confirm..." followed by several alpha-numeric letters. I'm looking i...

Hi everyone. It seems that every so often a regretful reference to the former e-mail based Dramatica discussion list is made. Since its disappearance, several alternate substitutes have been attempted that ultimately evolved to the Google Communities discussion group. I feel that the Google Communit...

Wow. I wish to preface my initial comments here by saying I have only scanned over what you have written and have not read it in its entirety... I'll need to set aside some quiet analytical reading time before a full-read will be possible. Meanwhile, two initial thoughts come to mind. 1st: Dramatica...

I've overheated and consequentially burned-out a few computers, so have had to install MMS a few times and have encountered the problem you describe. Here's what I will initially recommend: 1) Perform a complete uninstall of MMS. 2) Delete all files within your TEMP directories (there are usually mo...

I have just compared two PDFs. One PDF was exported from MMS, another contained the same text but was exported to PDF from MS Word using the plain Courier New font. The MMS exported PDF displays the Courier MMS font as is expected on my system. You may wish to verify your print settings. Go to TOOLS...

Update, please.
Thanks

This weekend I am upgrading to Windows 8 and was wondering if there are any incompatibility issues between Dramatica Pro 4 and Windows 8?

Hi Thomas. Apologies for the delay, I have a heavy load of college classes this semester (and am consequentially behind in all of my writing projects). I'm happy to share the file. Please send me an e-mail to buck415@gmail.com, and I'll reply with it as an attachment as soon as time permits. Later, ...

Hi Graham.

What workshop might that be?

I have three audio CD's about Writing Characters of the Opposite Sex, but wanted to know if there might be another worth my while investing in.

Thanks,
Buck

Thanks, Graham.

I write with three programs open, Dramatica Pro, Outline 4D, and Movie Magic Screenwriter because I need to make constant updates between the three. When I copy from MMS6 and paste directly into Outline 4D, the font sizing transfers and I don't want that--I want Outline 4D to use its default font st...

Re: http://forums.screenplay.com/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=4295#p8461 The position of the character elements in the Build Character window depends on the OS Domain in your storyform. I've just created four DSF files, and assigning one OS domain to each. No other storyform variables were entered. Will...

Hi motormind. I have been reading about the techniques of Dwight Swain, in which he talks about setting up a Scene, which is followed by a Sequel, in which characters respond to what happened in the Scene. How does this relate to Dramatica? I had very similar struggles while attempting to understand...

I need to add a disclaimer to the above bit I included using Armando's formulas... I didn't type that out manually, at least to get that result. I created a monstrously user-unfriendly spreadsheet with Dramatica definitions, mapped that to Theme Browser attributes, and mapped that to a sheet that in...

Thank you, that allowed me to look at Dramatica windows while replying... plus do a few more things. I'm going to address one quote out of order from the original post, responding to it at the end of this post. What's interesting about that method is that I was able to see my story from start to fin...

Hi Ruse. Before I reply to your recent post, would you mind sharing your Story Engine settings? If so, please go to Reports > drop down menu to Advanced Reports > Story Engine Settings, and export as plain text (the Vocabulary & Storytelling buttons should not be active). If not, I understand, b...

I think what the problem I am struggling with is those several POV's and putting it together with the different realms of Throughlines. I struggeled with that for quite some time, even after thoroughly reviewing some of the sample storyforms that came with the program such as Blade Runner and Witne...
