Traveller UWP Decoder Update

Wed, 01 Sep 2010 17:44:57 GMT

Just a quick update, the decoder was borking over system names with spaces in, all fixed now.

New Traveller Game: The Quantum Dancer

Wed, 01 Sep 2010 10:55:52 GMT

Last night we got started with our new Traveller game, sorting out characters and homeworlds.

Set not in the OTU but a a galaxy of David's creation, we're setting on on board the haunted Type-S Scout, The Quantum Dancer to explore the edge of the galaxy.

I'll set up a page for the game to hold ship/vehicle stats and equipment for the group once we get rolling, but for now here are the homeworlds.

For Conrad (Levi )and Oleg (Gav) we have:

Labedad Alpha 0705 C482546-A S NI G

For the as yet unnamed Harvey character, we have:

Cipire 0600 B449698-8 S NI G

Once I get the UWPs from David, I'll set up a galaxy search box for this game too.

Traveller Search Galaxy, proof of concept

Tue, 31 Aug 2010 02:14:46 GMT

Another new Traveller tool for the website, it's a search tool to find planetary information.

Searches return UWPs you can click on to get a plain English description, they lead to the decode UWP page I update the other day.

You can search on any part of a UWP, most useful would be a planet name or remark. For example, searching for Green would return all systems with Green in the name, while searching for Ga would return all planets with Ga in the name and all planets with the remark Ga for Garden World.

This is very much a test of concept, it currently only covers a few subsectors of the Spinward Marches and Foreven Sectors. This will improve once I get motivated to enter more data, or talk David into doing some more of it.

As we create our own universes for Traveller games, I'll add search boxes for them too.

Tuesday Games

Mon, 30 Aug 2010 22:06:05 GMT

Tomorrow we should be starting a new late game, David has plans for a Traveller game that should, all being well, become the new regular late game.

It's likely Jak won't be about for the early game this week, so it could be either a start to planning and character generation session for Harvey's Kingmaker (pathfinder) game, possibly with some Zombie action on the side, or just Zombies.

Whichever way about things end up, there are games running all night. :-)=

Traveller UWP decoder updated, now useful

Sun, 29 Aug 2010 15:38:13 GMT

I've finally made the traveller UWP decoder useful.

It now has two modes of operation, you can access it with a link as before:

Emape 0103 B564500-B N I Ag Ga NI A G

Or just go directly to the page where you'll get a box like this one, where you can enter your own UWP and hit enter to decode.

As a bonus it now translates the remarks to plan text descriptions, to save you remembering what Ag and Ht mean.

I am planning more features, like a searchable database of OTU worlds, but all that is for the future. It's taken most of the year for me to drag my lazy arse back to this and add an entry box.

UWP Decoder

Traveller UWP decoder

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 17:37:31 GMT

I've added a simple web based UWP (Universal World Profile) decoder, it should turn regular Traveller UWPs into a human readable description of the world.

I've turned all the UWPs on the Machine Parts Transit Solutions page into links that decode them. Which is much more useful than code only Dave can read. :)

Here are a few examples:

• Iderati 0702 A887798-C N I Ht Ri Ag Ga Cap G
• Penelope 0503 C460642-4 I Ri NI De Lt G
• Mirriam 0303 B9998A6-A N I IWS A G
• Emape 0103 B564500-B N I Ag Ga NI A G

Traveller: Machine Parts Transit Solutions

Taveller: MPTS Inc Jump to Mirriam

Wed, 13 Jan 2010 20:12:29 GMT

MPTS Inc make their second jump, another two parsecs, this time from Penelope to Mirriam.

  Penelope    0503 C460642-4 I Ri NI De Lt G
  Mirriam     0303 B9998A6-A N I IWS A G

On the water world of Mirriam they met up with two new members of the crew, the Doppler Cousins, old contacts of Bradley.

So far Orion took a submarine tour, while Ansarii and D'Lombard made some contacts to sell on their dodgy wares.

Machine Parts Transit Solution: Actually tranport machine parts

Wed, 06 Jan 2010 18:04:25 GMT

We had the first proper week of the Machine Parts Transit Solutions game this week, six brave travellers making a two parsec mail and passenger run from Iderati to Penelope.

  Iderati     0702 A887798-C N I Ht Ri Ag Ga Cap G
  Penelope    0503 C460642-4 I Ri NI De Lt G

On the way exploring a derilict space station, buying some alien artifacts and trading in machine parts.

Here is a small plan of the ship, with character quarters marked on it:

I'll get the proper stats for the ship up in a few days.

When we come back to the game, it's the jump to the high tech water world of Mirriam.

  Mirriam     0303 B9998A6-A N I IWS A G

Traveller MPTS Homeworlds

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 15:37:48 GMT

Just so you can see where your homeworlds are on the Traveller Map and what others known about them, here are the UWPs (Universal World Profiles).

Gloria     0405 D7738BA-6 Ri G
Hanjol     0706 C785453-8 S Ga NI
Whitefall  0806 B401110-9 N IC Va Lo

All of these are in the Spinward Marches, Gloria is in the Cronor subsector and Hanjol and Whitefall are in Mora.

To find yourself, search for that Subsector name and the four digit number listed is the Hex you came from.

To confuse matters, Mongoose and the Map use slightly different Hex codes, Gloria is correct for both but Hanjol on the map is in 3127 and Whitefall 3227.

Traveller Universe Map

Something really handy for Space Travellers, a Traveller Universe Map in the style of Google Maps.
