Starmapper - a mapping utility News

...is in the download section. It's rather raw, probably missing many pieces and all, but a downloadable zip makes a *huge* difference :)

The -core part requires jezuch-utils library to be present as jezuch-utils.jar (if you want to use "java -jar" to run the app); the -app-cli part requires jezuch-utils and -core in the same folder as its jar, and is a executable jar, so "java -jar lib/starmapper-app-cli_3.0.0b.jar" should work. There are some sample files and configs to play with :)... read more

http://starmapper.sourceforge.net is now based on Wikka Wiki (http://wikkawiki.org/HomePage). Old page is still available, but i *strongly* discourage looking there ;) I started putting up some useful content there, but so far there's only a main page (with some dead links to fill in later). Enjoy!

A new development version is in the SVN. This is something between alpha and beta (should I call it gamma?) of version 3.0 of lib and app-cli modules, plus separate jezuch-utils module. "Gamma" here means that the API will probably change, but not that much... It works in a sense that you can make a config, launch starmapper-app (command-line only so far) and draw some pretty pictures, but not all features are enabled yet (no marks for nodes (formerly planets) and no region (formerly players) names).... read more

I could have released a new version (3.0 alpha/beta/gamma/?) almost a year ago, but I'm such a lazy bastard :) I hope to push it a bit during this summer holidays. Meanwhile have a look at these previews:

(This should've happened some two months ago ;)) StarmapperLib 2.3.1, StarmapperApp 2.2.1 and StarmapperGUIApp 2.3 released. Still no Lib 3.0 :) Lib and App are minor bugfix releases and GUIApp has some visible changes. As usual, see project page on SourceForge for release notes.

There are new versions of StarmapperLib and StarmapperGUIApp with changes inspired by Jeremy Hussell and bugfixes inspired by me ;) I'll release new version of StarmapperApp when there are enough changes, right now there are only two not really relevant.

I uploaded new "versions" of zips (for newest versions only) of App, GUIApp and Lib due to problems with extracting them with WinZIP (thanks to Jeremy Hussell for pointing this out). This seems to be a problem of WinRAR, which creates strange zips.
Files inside these archives may have funny permissions set under *nix, but that's because they were originally created under Windows :)

There are three new releases to all three packages of Starmapper 2.x branch: StarmapperLib 2.1, StarmapperLib 2.1 and finally first release of StarmapperGUIApp 2.0. Enjoy!

I finally managed to force myself to update the readme and decided to release Starmapper 2.0 - no beta2! It's perfect anyway and I haven't received any feedback ;P

Starmapper 2.0 is about to be released as soon as I write StarmapperApp's HTML readme ;) You know, coding is cool, but writing docs is a nightmare - you have to explain to all these lusers... Errr, users all the stuff they'll not understand... Errrr... You know ;)

There are many improvements to StarmapperApp and I'm beginning to worry that I'll not remember all of them... But StarmapperLib is almost untouched (except a few bugfixes ;))
