Hey PG - have you been altering any planet descriptions? I notice that Lave is famous for its 'Lavese tree grub' - has Laveian been superceded?

Yes, I changed the the "ian" version of the planet names to make them better. (Now varies with final letter.) It's the same as the Planetary Description 2 column in the Oolite Galaxies spreadsheet I did. This could be easily changed back if people complain enough.

In case anyone wants to know here is the code that does the job:

Code: Select all

switch (rep.substr(rep.length - 1, 1))
		{
			case "A":
				rep += "N";
				break;
			case "E":
				rep += "SE";
				break;
			case "I":
				rep += "AN";
				break;
			case "O":
				rep += "ESE";
				break;
			case "U":
				rep += "AN";
				break;
			default:
				rep += "IAN";
				break;
		}

Regards,

Phantor

Oh I wasn't complaining, as such - I just gotta get used to Zaquessoese evil juice, is all.

But it's still as evil as it ever was.

But it obviously doesn't effect the text in the game. I could make it a toggleable setting in my next version.

I was plotting a course earlier using this very handy tool, so I thought I'd bump its thread.

[Cody]

Time for another bump of this very useful tool.

Very justifiable. I need to go home and check to see if my version is the most recent, since I'd taken a year break from Oolite.

• There is a new Galaxy Seed button. Click on this to change or reset the Galaxy seed numbers.

Excellent - thanks, PG.

Updated Release: Version 0.7.4

http://bit.ly/Oolite2DMap

The Galaxy Seed dialog has been modified to allow you to save seeds with names:

• Default button has been hidden (only appears if your browser does not support HTML5 LocalStorage) and you can use the "Oolite Default" option in a new drop-down in the Galaxy Seed dialog.
• The rest of the page is disabled when in the Galaxy Seed dialog. (The Galaxy Seed button also still works.)
• You can select saved seeds by name (named seeds) in the new drop-down. I have included a few examples that have been mentioned on the Oolite Bulletin Board.
• The name of the seed (if it has one) is displayed above the top left corner of the map.
• If you select a named seed that is not "Oolite Default" you may delete it or rename it by picking the appropriate option from the drop-down.
• If you change the seed manually to a set of numbers for an new/unsaved seed you get the option to save it from the drop-down. Selecting this pops up a Save Name dialog. (Use the "x" in the corner to close the dialog if it is unwanted.)
• If the current seed is one of the named ones then the drop-down will always have that name selected by default. If the seed is unnamed then the option "Other Galaxy Seed" will be displayed in the drop-down by default instead.
• Using HTML5 LocalStorage means that seeds and their names will be saved in the browser and they will be there when you return as long as you use the same PC and browser and you do not delete cookies for the page's domain.
• I have added a set of example seeds, most of which have been mentioned in BB. These will be added the first time you use this new version. Please delete them if you wish.

Thanks goes to Cody for testing it for me.

I've been having some fun with this - thanks, PG.

[Cody]

Time for its periodic bump - a very useful tool, is this.

[Cody]

Is something up with this tool? Or is it my browser?
