T5 Web Apps

Recently, I started a new web site project to host some web-based apps for T5: http://heldenhaufen.de/T5/
At the moment BeastMaker is nearly done and HomeworldMaker is starting out.

I am interested in problems, suggestions, requests, etc. Feel free to comment here.
 
Why is the habitable orbit always 42?

Homeworld ?5396G?-? TC F2 V
Habitable Zone: Orbit 42
Homeworld Orbit: ?

Homeworld ?7B03G?-? TC F5 V
Habitable Zone: Orbit 42
Homeworld Orbit: ?

Homeworld ?5655G?-? TC G5 V
Habitable Zone: Orbit 42
Homeworld Orbit: ?

Etc.
 
Because I am an ass...

I do have to ask, where are the Homeworld Skills for the characters from that Homeworld?

I see the TCs are in there and since the HW Skills are linked to the TCs it seems it shouldn't put too much more work on you. :rolleyes:
 
Let me also offer my appreciation for your efforts. One suggestion I have for homeworld maker, and it could be just added or left as an option, but when I make a homeworld for a character, I use the normal World rules to generate its Starport, Law code, and TL. They are simple enough to do, and the UWP looks a little silly without them. Not your fault, I wonder why they left them out in the rules. :confused:
 
HomeworldMaker: I added Starport, LawLevel and TechLevel generation, as well as an estimation of gravity and a direct jump off to BeastMaker. A listing of Homeworld Skills will come next.
 
Okay, I see a reference to jQuery in your source, but just to make sure: what are you using to build these pages?
 
While testing the current version of the SystemMaker I generated an interesting oddity: a planetoid belt in Satellite Orbit! The RAW support this and I like the idea, so I tend to keep it possible. Any other opinions?
 
Very interesting.

That is pretty odd, yet pretty cool. I would keep it for now and maybe post that in the Errata Discussion thread to see if it floats or sinks.

I just updated the web site with latest preview of SystemMaker.

By far the greatest "problem" was placement of the mainworld within a system partly populated by stars - a situation defined by RAW but without explanation on how to handle this. I guess I found some good solutions for that.
Another point was "precluded orbits" and "maximum orbit number" for close/near/far stars. That has yet to be more finely defined by my generator code.

The current preview also does not completely generate all "other world" stats and satellites are another TODO.

Please have a look at the preview and notify me on any oddities concerning mainworld and star placement.
