New T5 Product: SectorMaker for the iPad

[agorski]

You can add worlds one at a time and edit each parameter, so you could redo your existing work. This will take some time, but the advantage is that it will check and make sure that your selections are valid according to T5 Second Survey standards. If your worlds have errors in them, and you want to draw maps with PosterMaker, travellermap may not even display the worlds at all.

Art, I figured out how to use the touch screen changes to a planet, and I now have Baldur worked up along with El Paso. I just need to move El Paso over a bit. This should speed planet building up a bunch.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS TOOL.

Instead of "cheers", for which we do not have an emoji, you get FIVE coffee pots.

You're welcome. Have fun!

I have been busy putting in trade routes in the Sword Sector, as it is not fully set up with respect to planets. I like the choice of solid, dashed, or dotted routes. I just need to spend some time determining the various abbreviations and added information.

All I can say is that this is

ONE INCREDIBLE TOOL!!!!!

Edit Note: This is so good that I am going to get the necessary cable to hook the iPad up to a standard monitor, along with getting a Bluetooth keyboard.

Looks great!

If I may be so bold, I would like to propose a new function: A possibility to set a configurable limit to Pop and TL.

All the worlds generated with population rivalling the entire Imperium or extremely high TL doesn't really fit the classic Traveller sectors.

A max TL would save a lot of time editing TLs for the Referee with a specific campaign in mind.

Or perhaps just a "Classic Mode" switch that generates POP and TL without the upper extremes.

That's a good idea. I'll save it for an update. Right now I only have a default Allegiance setting. Gotta be careful with all the dependencies to make sure I don't generate something illegal that Travellermap won't like, but that shouldn't be a problem with TL and Pop.

I have created a Space Viking allegiance group, and not sure about more customized groups. New Texas might get one. Against that, we are talking Texans here.

You can make as many as you want, but only one can be specified as the default, and should be created and specified as the default before you make worlds.

Right now, my default grouping is "None", which is correct for the sector.
