Gather round my sleepy children

[foolish_icarus]

Today or tomorrow. Start thinking (if you haven't already, which I somehow find unlikely) in general terms about what kind of society you want. I'm still hammering at the rules, trying to get them finely tuned, everything else is done.

[appleciders]

Let the plotting commence! Yay!

It's probably way too late to be making suggestions, but a planet with a really elliptical orbit, like a cometary orbit, might be cool.

[foolish_icarus]

I need your help!
Everything's done, but alot of the stuff is done in a spreadsheet. I always figured I'd put it in a chart like the one Micha had for those AHENES units he ended up not using---but I foolishly never looked at the code until just now, and it's insane. There's got to be some way to auto generate it. Anyone?

You could do it in a graphics format, with multiple layers / vectors it would be easy to update. Although I guess that's not easier if you aren't familiar with using a graphics program.

[foolish_icarus]

I'm not familiar with graphics programs, but that does give me an idea that might work. Sorry folks, this might take longer if what I'm about to try doesn't work.

[foolish_icarus]

Nope. well this could be very onerous. I'll work more on alternate solutions tomorrow.

[appleciders]

Terrible sadness.

If you´re using Excel or OpenOffice, there´s an option "export to html". The resulting code could be easily copy-pasted into poly. (Or even better, upload the html and link to it)

[appleciders]

I wish I could offer help, but I'm way out of my league here. Good luck!

[General Ludd]

If the updates are rather simple I might be willing to do it in a graphics program for you.

[Micha]

Actually, just go to "save as" and chose "html document" instead of whatever is default. Of course you still need the table for yourself, since html won´t calculate anything. It´s just needed so that everyone too lazy to get openoffice ( http://www.openoffice.org/ FREEWARE ) will be able to view it.

If you guys need ideas...always check CFC, theres a whole bunch of good ideas that have failed either from a lazy mod or not enough players.

I want to join something, since I cant mod anything.

[foolish_icarus]

you should check out the Solar System NES thread, now is the prime time to get yourself a custom made empire-in-the-making.

[appleciders]

You know, I'd tried CFC but every NES I joined died within three turns. Poly has fewer choices, since there are fewer people, but at least the NESes last more than a week. Plus it's cool to NES with the same people, you get to know them all a bit.

I pulled the Gnome NES from CFC, it seemed like a fun idea. You could jump in there, too.

[Micha]

Methril!!! Come, please join the Solar System NES! (The Gnome one already has enough players)

Good to see you here
