Storm Tracker

Jan 06, 2008 blacknet link
I am developing a system to track ion storms. It is currently in alpha testing and being updated often, not yet ready for public release.

some goal/hope/plan for it is:

Make predictions (even if grossly inaccurate) :) on upcoming storm locations, make reports and post in the news tab for everyone to see when they are in game.

Some type of navigation to avoid known storms.

Some type of report when changing systems of known storms in that system.



This is the chart how it looks currently and it will probably change over time as things are added and updated.

The freaking guild?! Wouldn't that immediately alert pirates if the person is a trader and which system they're in?
Scary.

Maybe just do Hours:Minutes and omit seconds.
And maybe something easier to see than just times (like a flag or something) to indicate if the last checked and first reported times are the same.

The original concept was to let member guilds from the Lua guild have access to storm_trak. However this plugin is way bigger than a select group of players.

This is also why software goes thru 'alpha' stage, to get features hammered out correctly, like this one.

I'd love to see this working. What can I do to help?

Sorry, got excited and didn't look at the date. I imagine by now they've stopped playing or have no interest in further development. Sigh.

It failed because it wasn't called "StormTracker 9000" and didn't have a "swooOOOOOOSH!" sound effect when it was called up.
