Xexplorer v2.2 - Universe Search Utility

[pospi]

There is already a thread for this program here, but being that this is such a major revision, I thought I would start anew.

Go to Xexplorer v2.2

In the last weeks (months?), I have been working closely with Birdman to create a system that will search your exact savegame, rather than the default universe data. This is possible via Birdman's script plugin, which outputs all the information about your game in similar format to the X3 Universe descriptors. Please don't download the version he linked on the forums as it is outdated - most recent and compatible version is linked on the Xexplorer page.

So, this program now features the following (linked to example output so you can see it for yourself):

- Generate and save/print maps showing you the location and quantity of wares for your reference.
- Filter searches by availability as dock items, factory resources, products and asteroid deposits.
- Search the default universe, and bookmark such searches to easily forward to friends.
- Display all data about your universe for reference later.
- Full support for modded games (output taken from the Syndicate universe), custom wares and scripts, including different universe layouts.
- Two script plugin versions - regular and non spoiler which will only search sectors you have explored.
- Uploaded savegame data will stay online for 7 days after your last access so you dont have to do it many times (the timeout might be amended depending on how much of a server load it generates). Data is automatically loaded for you next time you visit and can be deleted by you at any time.
- Ability to upload zip files makes it easy for low-bandwith people.
- Fully language independent output (any bilingual people please go nuts and link this in the foreign language forums).


That's about it I think. Cookies must be enabled to use the system for custom universe stuff. Please read the instructions before you start, you should find all you need to know in there.

From here, where the project goes is up to you guys. If there's a useful feature you think should be included, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

And of course any suggestions or troubles people are having are welcome to be posted in this thread.

It would be useful if I could search by just station type:

for example if i wanted to know the locations of every type of a factory
