I tried Swath out and tried the mapping, but where do you see the map? It seems like I just spent 20 minutes for nothing!

I too downloaded it but could do nothing with it.

You don't actually get to see a map.
After the mapping you could use it to retrieve info such as trade port pairs.
If you want to see a real map you have to do it by hand. BTW, after each time you made exploration you have to do the CIM Download and then the mapping to update.

I only could get more port pairs when I had actually explored the sectors. Which makes sense.
I have been making some hand maps, it's a mondo pain in the ass though!

Actually i quite like drawing maps. It's much easier to visualize than all those abstract sector numbers. You shouldn't try to draw a complete map though. You'll run out of room pretty fast that way, just divide them into particular sectors.Skeptics should forego any thought of convincing the unconvinced that we hold the torch of truth illuminating the darkness. A more modest, realistic, and achievable goal is to encourage the idea that one may be mistaken. Doubt is humbling and constructive; it leads to rational thought in weighing alternatives and fully reexamining options, and it opens unlimited vistas.

Would anyone be interested in a program that would display the map in a "2d" view using OpenGL? If so, I might be able to put something together (and get some use from that CS degree of mine)...
The data structure would be simple, and the HTML code could be simple, but I would need to figure out a way to display fonts so that you could tell sectors. And there are a few other things...
Anyway, if enough folks are interested, I might take a shot at this.Comment

I don't think it's worth it, Burbel. It has already been done. E.g. helper program Attac has the feature. It only shows one level in unregistered version though.Comment

I use 1.3.2 and have had plenty of trouble port trading. It works occassionally, and is fun when it does work, but it periodically conks out on the sector number - as if it forgot to press the "enter" key.
Exactly my experience as well. I can't see any apparent reason why this works in some cases and not in another.

Thanks for the info, I will download attac and see what it does!
(Anything to save me time and hassle, I suppose!) =)Comment

OTOH, I suggest you to start writing the mapper. Maybe we could eventually put together an open-source helper program. Wouldn't that be something?

Okay Polo, I'm done sulking.
From the SWATH help files:
quote:
The following is needed to be able to use and develop User Defined Scripts:
SWATH v1.3 or later.
Sun's Java 2 Software Development Kit (SDK) v1.2 or later.
Download FREE from here: http://java.sun.com/j2se/
If you have it installed, is the path to it defined properly in "c:\windows\swath.ini"?
On my system it was set up as C:\jdk1.3\ when the actual path was C:\jdk1.3.2_02\ or something like that.
Whenever I started SWATH, I was getting an error about it not being able to find some Java files. After fixing the path problem, I didn't get the JAVA error anymore and the pair trading script ran flawlessly (quickly too).

Spekter, thanks for the info. I just want to be sure, do you really mean that I should download this 30Mb software:
"Download Java 2 SDK, v 1.3.0_02 Software for Windows 95 / 98 / 2000 / NT / ME 4.0 (Intel Platform)
One large bundle (~30MB)"
Btw, I'm glad that you aren't anrgy with me anymore.
