SectorMaker Improvements

1/18/2014

I recently got an email asking "is there a third party program or site that can generate xml for a sec file that can then be used for an nsec file in the sector maker?"

Here's my answer:

Currently there's no feature to import data into SectorMaker. The .nsec files that it creates are in a proprietary format.

I'll add your suggestion to my list of things to do for the next version.

Joshua Bell has a nice page on the format I currently use for export:

http://travellermap.com/doc/secondsurvey.html

He also has a nice page on the possible formats I could use for importing data:

http://travellermap.com/doc/fileformats.html

On that page the T5 formats are nice because they include the extended data like Importance, Economic Extension, etc. So I wouldn't have to randomly generate this data on import. For the legacy formats I would have to randomly generate the extended data.

If you search Traveller Map for a sector and click on the data link at the lower left, you get a text file of T5 data. So this is a good candidate for the kind of file I could import.

Let me know of any sources of data you know about that would good candidates for import and I will look at them.


So I'll be considering adding this functionality as well as other things in the next version.
