ISCS and has provided me with a much better way define the holdings of This idea has been ported over the maps for Succession Wars, I came up with the idea of using a hex map for the While toying around with developing a map for revised version of Update: I had another break through in the development of the maps. Idea to the borders for the different factions. Jumps to all the planets in the same faction. Planets, I took the JumpShip Path cgi data file and used it to draw the Input and generates a gif file and POV-Ray is a powerful ray tracing Of generating postscript, my revised script generated commands for a programĬalled fly and more recently POV-Ray 3.0.1. Generating output files for the different eras at the same time. IĬonverted an awk script to perl and rewrote most of it to handle Obtained a postscript file of the Inner Sphere and an awk script. In adition to getting the data from the "Inner Sphere Map Project", I Society (ISCS) was born out of Team SPAM!'s need for acurate andĬomplete map files for both the Planet Hop and JumpShip Path CGIs. for help to correct some of the errors that cropped upįrom trying to combine all the files. Once I hadĪll of these data files and the suggestion to make one combined dataįile, I decided to do it. The Inner Sphere with data files for 3025, 3030, and 3039. I also happened to come across a PC program that drew a map of At one point, my gaming group helped to update the file from 3025 The "Inner Sphere Map Project" compiled the first Inner Sphere map fileįor the 3025 era from the data given in the back of the BattleTech Houseīooks. 3058 Era Files (56k) This archive contain the files needed to generate the map for 3058. 3025 Era Files (56k) This archive contain the files needed to generate the map for 3025.

The ISCS Data File (36k) This is a formated text file that has information for all the eras You will need the ISCS Include FilesĪnd the Era Files with POV-Ray 3.x to render a map for a particular Various programs on all the major platforms should have utilities thatĬan uncompress and extract them. The datafiles have been compressed with gzip and archived with tar. While I would like to include planet labels in myĬould make the map look good and readable. Sphere maps made a postscript file I returned to that and usedĬonversion to PDF. The original code I found for making Inner One of the reasons, I decided to work on PDF filesįor the IS maps were the various requests have come in for maps with the To generate a map that I could output to a postscript file as I couldn'tįind a way to make it plot the planets, label them and draw the 250 andĥ00 Lightyear rings. The reason the ISCS maps now include Periphery planets.įinally got some time to sit down and work on the scripts I had toĬreate Inner Sphere maps in a postscript format. The ISCS looks forward to working with Øystein as his contributions are Has been using scans of the sourcebook maps to help him create his maps. Øystein used one of my PDF maps as a basis for his, but Together I also got a link to the ISCS on the bottom of the page.ĭefense Forces Mapping Agency to display the Inner Sphere maps that Since Øystein and I have done a lot of work on Inner Sphere maps Øystein Tvedten helped them out alot with the maps located on Have set up a site called MechWarrior Universe. Well if you want you BattleTech filtered through Microsoft, they Looked like before the Reunification Wars. This gives a good idea what the Periphery States The research into a more accurateĢ750 map has yielded enough information to give us a rough guess at whatĢ575 looked like. Theīorders for 2750 are based off of the worlds that were jointlyĪdministered by the Terran Hegemony. Up with the overview map of 2750 in the Inner Sphere sourcebook. In addition to some minor corrections, the 2750 era was revised to match New maps!!!
