Congratulations on your move, and thanks for your great resource.

And now we can iterate (cooperate/compete) on the whole grayscale rendering thing, if you take a peek at the new feature.

 

[Mickazoid]

I did indeed - we have to get you a version of Univers for the map text elements

 

[inexorabletash]

BTW, there's a new feature that takes my map from "site" to "reusable software component" - check out:

This is a bad-assed map.

Everyone should check it out.

Weird ... didn't I post that, not mickazoid? What's going on here?!

I took the words right outta yer mouth

This gives a real "totality" to known space, a seamless view with much less disruption than flipping pages or clicking links. You can really see the "Big Picture"

to quote A new Player (unfamiliar with traveller)
"This Map is Awesome!"

How long did this take to format?

Micki, I have some stuff to send you to check out, but its rather a large file. PM me with which contact is best for you.

It took about 2 hours to get a prototype of the client and server up and running - charted space was a big red circle with a 100 parsec radius.

This was in April '05. About 8 more hours took care of the ability to render the border vectors, load sector data and render the basics.

Since then it's been a matter of refinement, alternating between adding new features and new content.

I'd guess an average of 2 hours per week, in a bursty fashion, i.e. nothing for a month, then a whole bunch over a few days.

Glad you guys enjoy it.

 

[Mickazoid]

Joshua - I love it.

 

[Andrew Boulton]

Very cool. Nice work.

I'm the Navigator in our crew, and I use your map all the time...
It makes me look good

Thanks

It would be handy if one could click on a system on the map, and it's stats would appear on the right, the same as if one did a search for the system
