The game originally developed by Game Designers Workshop (GDW) is now owned by Marc Miller's Far Future Enterprises, and has both a GURPS version produced under license by Steve Jackson Games and a D20 version from Quiklink Interactive. Quiklink also produce several other Traveller products including products for Classic Traveller, and are also hosting the playtest of Marc Miller's Traveller 5th Edition.
I've recently put together a web site for John Rowe's Glisten PBEM which I'm involved with. Click on the link above to visit it.
As part of a High Guard program I'm writing in Java, it became apparent that I needed a file format to persist the ships to.
As I like XML, and have been doing a lot with it recently, it was a natural choice for this purpose, especially as my Sector Browser already uses XML.
Click on the title for the DTD, and click here for an example XML fiile, in this case the Kinunir.
I'm aware that at present the DTD does not support small ships or spinal mounts, but I welcome any other comments you may have.
An updated version of the sector.dtd I originaly put together a few months ago. The name has been changed to survey.dtd because it's now designed to cover the entire Traveller known universe in a single file
Click on the title above to download the DTD or here for an example XML fiile, which is nowhere near complete (only one subsector , and only one system in that subsector, detailed) but designed to represent the Classic Traveller milieu in 1120
The idea here is that one will be able to load different "milieu" into the browser. Please make any comments you feel like.
This is a small Java applet that implements Rob Eaglestone's Vilani name generation algorithm.
The algorithm has several points at which choices must be made, and the program makes random decisions at hese points, so hitting the generate button will likely generate a different Vilani name for you.
Unfortunately, it seems this applet won't run in I.E5.0 with Microsoft's version of Java. While it displays the applet, the button press does nothing. If you download the jar file and run it in the appplet viewer it works fine
Click on the title above to download the jar file.
This is a small test part of the Travellers Aid Suite (TAS for short) that I'm building in slow-time.
It uses Java 2, Swing and XML for data storage. It utilizes the Xerxes XML parser from Apache to parse the XML. No editing or XML output in this version, and to be honest it doesn't actually load all the data into classes yet, just enough to populate the tree to system level.
The zip file contains the compiled classes, the source code, and some test XML data.
The Xerces parser jar is included so that you can just extract the files and execute the run.bat file as long as you already have a Java 2 runtime available in your path.
