As Above So Below - Yet another Traveller System Generator
- Thread starter Bartleby
- Start date
You are too kind. Clearly travellermap was an inspiration and guiding light on how an interface should work.
The agent was largely taken from other smarter people. I made some adjustments as I learned more.
Do you have an option for a pencil & paper system generator?
All joking aside, I am really impressed with your system, and as you can see, kind of old school when it comes to generating systems. The video walkthrough gave me goosebumps, really! Plus, I've entertained the idea of creating a system first and choosing the best planet for the Main World second. It just sounds crazy doing it by hand.
If/When I ever improve my tech, I'll add this to my tools.
Thank you Bookwyrm. If you have any tech larger than a phone this will work. It should work on a tablet/pc/mac whatever. Right now the phone screens are just too small.
Can I add, I only now noticed you had a quote from Hans in your sig. That is very cool.
I don't agree with everything almost everyone on CotI posts, but I do have respect for what is shared. I've learned a lot, and not just about Traveller.
The same goes for Rancke. But I really liked how he shared his views & ideas and I took his 'It Has To Make Sense' to heart. It doesn't work for everything, but it gives me a place to start.
I really miss him and the others who have passed away, and appreciate being able to read their thoughts on Traveller on the older CotI content. Having new citizens joining CotI and new content for Traveller being added by Mongoose & others makes me think the baton has been passed on to the next generation. Looking forward to the years to come, and I can't wait to see what happens for Travellers 50th anniversary.
That sucks. I am sorry.
Was there no launch button or did the button not do anything when you clicked it.
Sorry to be a pain but I am dying to figure this out.
This is exactly what I expect on a phone but not a mac or pc.
Can I ask you to try this link and post a screen shot?
Zoomed out – system wide zoom was set – got launch button.
I am liking this thus far (PC, Win-10 Opera -64) appears to be working well as a sweet auto generator (CT, Mon, T-5) all appear to be operational have not dug to the bottom but appears to be working so far. Will try on my android tablet tomorrow after it charges and see if it works well there.
OK some updates. Yesterday afternoon I made a filter update (v0.5.7). Special thanks to @Spinward Flow who spent a ton of time pushing the app to the limits and providing me reports and suggestions. He persuaded me to change the color filter rules to allow more than two colors. So now if you have a planet that is impacted by three rules the dot will be split into three colors.
This morning I added a patch (v0.5.7.1) that does the following:
1) The rules window now expands to the right allowing you to both see and change both at the same time without switching
2) The Settings option (gear in the top right) will allow you to set a new default color for the worlds
3) When you load a sector any current rules (including the default ones) will apply immediately
4) You can now add underline, italics or ALLCAPS to world names based on your filter rules
Next Up:
1) I had a report from a friendly user who noted some unusual results in the T5 Tech Level. I will spend some time investigating that.
2) The colors and rules work well for world dots, but I do need to explore how to handle asteroid symbols
3) Allegiances! I have done nothing on allegiances. I will add those and I have always wanted to be able to just select some hexes and mass apply allegiances to them. And provide a configurable view that will let you turn on a mask that shades hexes certain colors for certain allegiances.
More to come in fits and starts. Thank you to everyone who has tried it.
Feel free to try the app and please continue to provide feedback and suggestions here. Please remember it is still in development so it has mistakes and will change.
