Hi all

I have done a map generator. It is one with a database behind. One can change many settings (a simple form is was provided in forehand, many thanks to Dr.Sid!) - please use the link in this post.

It's also ready to generate custom arranged maps (mods, conversion), please PM if you are in need for one...

These pictures are generated from a DB by scripts. You have the possibility to change almost everything (colors, sizes, fonts etc).

Logically i would start at 0, 0...

But i think the community counts from 1, 1 (looked at some tuts with coordinates).

@ abount stationcount

station count is off - an almost implemented feature :D

Nope. It's 0.0
Maverick: Requesting permission for flyby.
Air Boss Johnson: That's a negative ghostrider, the pattern is full.
Goose: No. No, Mav, this is not a good idea.
Maverick: Sorry Goose, but it's time to buzz a Split.
Split: Split now give you .... Aaaarrriiiigh.

Every single guide and ingame script start from 0,0 which is kingdom end.
Using 2 systems is confusing for newbies.

not only with this map. I docked at the Don's station (the maruader) and got a message saying welcome to terracorp earlier....

Ok .. this map LOOKS good. But it is really pain to read if printed. Please can you make black&white version with larger fonts ? Like this my laser-printer uses dithering (for both background and fonts, since it is just a bitmap) and final map is really impossible to read even if printed to A4 paper.

Also informations about stations looks very same for each station type .. it is not easy to spot what you are looking for. Good idea is to use some symbols - or big letters (S for shipyrad, E for equipment dock, P for pirate base, * for SPP or something like that).

Sorry for whining .. but your map misses just a little to be perfect.

Keep your good work !
:D

coordinates

changed to 0,0 @ kingdoms end, fixed station count (counts just 1 SP per sector)

@ dr sid

look here, eventually i will make some graphs for the stations...

@ all

you are invited to experiment for a map after your liking :) the options are within the URL and can be changed there:

Example: Hover for Link

cfg_sectorw=75 /* sector width in pixel */
cfg_borderw=1 /* border with in pixel */
cfg_alpha=100 /* sector color strength 127 = no color, 0 = full color */
cfg_alpha2=60 /* station color strength 127 = no color, 0 = full color */
cfg_line=10 /* wordwrap sectornames after X letters */
map_w=21 /* width of map in sectors */
map_h=17 /* height of map in sectors */
sf_font=slkscrb /* font sectornames, slkscrb, slkscr, hatten, arial, arial_b, courier */
sf_size=6 /* size font sectornames */
sf_offs=0 /* vertical offset sectornames */
cfg_lang=en /* en / de */

some other examples: x-btf anyone?, maybe this font is a little bit outta the SF-theme :)

if you got a nice config, please post it - will install it as quickset.

best regards,
sveno

Hey .. I made simple form for setting the values:

http://roger.questions.cz/x3/MapForm.html

I guess you can put it on your web and update it if you update your map generator.

Ok .. I played with it a little .. and I like it.
It would be nice to set size of font of station names. Also station alpha does not seem to work or I am doing something wrong.
