HexMap is a Visual Basic 6 program which reads a file containing subsector information and displays a pukha subsector map. It runs best on an 800x600 display, and can print snazzy starmaps in several formats (my favourite is a landscape sheet with the listing and map side by side).
It can also generate random subsectors with a wide variety of customizable parameters. HexMap displays detailed UWP explanations, can cope with a 640x480 screen display, and reads, allows notes editing for and prints the data files used by Jim Vassilakos' Galactician program. If you haven't got this brain-burnngly good piece of Traveller freeware, run - don't walk - to his site as listed above, and go get it! Starting from version 6.3x, Hexmap now allows editing of most of the fields for each world. An HTM version of the ARP save format is now created as well, making it a snap to produce subsectors for the web. Release notes with the list of new features can be found here, and are included in the ZIP files. |
