Sector - SciFi RPG map tool2.5 - App Store

Sector is a mapping tool for classic tabletop Science Fiction Roleplaying games.

With a single click Sector will generate an entire sector (16 subsectors) of worlds for you and your players to explore.

. Full UPP (Universal Planetary Profile) generation for every world
. Random name generation for all worlds, sectors and subsectors.
. Beautiful mapping that shows the mainworld size, atmosphere and surface type at a glance.
. Minor and major trade routes calculated and drawn on the map
. Clusters, chains and voids are automatically detected and named
. Pan and zoom the map with multitouch. Tap a world for more details. Tilt your device to shift the labels and routes slightly.
. Tap the map with two fingers to show or hide the navigation and toolbars
. Export your map as a beautiful PDF, or as a plain text listing.
. Import original plain text sector listings in the standard format. Many classic sectors are even bundles in the app!

That's not all - the map is editable! Tap the 'Edit' button and then tap hexes to remove a world you don't want, or add a world to a blank hex. Trade routes and cluster names are generated on the fly.

Note: requires the use of an RPG rules system. Contains materials from the Traveller SRD document: http://www.traveller-srd.com

Note: Mapping an entire sector is resource intensive. Recommended for iPad Pro and iPhone 6s devices or better.

Version History Sector is alive! Thank you for your support and interest in this app.

NEW:
Empires - optionally display generated empire boundaries and areas. Now no world needs stand alone.

FIXED:
This release fixes a long standing crash when regenerating trade routes. Thank you for your patience, I think we got there in the end!
Temperature and population description fixed a bug where every where could be cold and empty.

UPDATED:
The app has also been refreshed and updated to look better on the latest system versions. 2.5 May 18 This is a major update that improves efficiency and reduces crashes.
• The main map view has been completely re-written for improved speed and efficiency. Drawing speed, scrolling smoothness and memory use are all much improved.
• Adds the ability to create a blank sector for you to populate manually
• Adds 3D-touch actions to the map view. Try 3D touching a world hex - slide you finger up when peeking the world details to get quick access to editing actions.
• Integrates with Spotlight - try searching for world and sectors directly from your home screen search.
• Fixes a common cause of crashes when generating trade routes. 2.3 09/13/2018 You can now save your generated sector maps as a PDF! Use the share icon when viewing the map and select ‘PDF’ as the file format. You can still also share as a plain text file world listing, and as a native Sector file format.

Also includes all the great new features from the 2.0 release! 2.2 10/26/2017 Adds a small navigator thumbnail view in the navigation bar, so you always know what part of the map you’re looking at. Also, reverts back to showing a zoomed in version of the map initially.

New in 2.0:

•Completely redesigned the way the map is drawn. Now you can zoom out to view the entire sector at once, and scrolling across the map is much smoother.
•Import regenerated sector files, for example from https://travellermap.com eg. https://travellermap.com/data/Spinward%20Marches . Use the import button to load a sector file from the Files app. Note that only the name, location, mainworld UPP and some additional details are imported. The ‘importance factor’, if present, is used to generate trade routes.
•Adds the ability to export the sector as a text file.
•Adds the ability to edit a world’s name and UPP - or regenerate a new random one.
•Adds the ability to re-generate trade routes and name labels - in ‘edit’ mode, tap the route or labels button to be prompted if you want to regenerate either of these.
•Improves the trade route drawing logic to reduce clutter.
•Bug fix for the world info popover to make sure it points to the selected world. 2.1 10/24/2017 Version 2 brings some exciting new features and improves the existing map display:

• Completely redesigned the way the map is drawn. Now you can zoom out to view the entire sector at once, and scrolling across the map is much smoother.
• Import pre-generated sector files, for example from https://travellermap.com. Use the import button to load a sector file from the Files app. Note that only the name, location, mainworld UPP and some additional details are imported. The ‘importance factor’, if present, is used to generate trade routes.
• Adds the ability to export the sector as a text file.
• Adds the ability to re-generate trade routes and name labels - in ‘edit’ mode, tap the route or labels button to be prompted if you want to regenerate either of these.
• Improves the trade route drawing logic to reduce clutter.
• Adds the ability to regenerate the name or UPP of a specific world, or manually rename it, and even manually edit the UPP. Now you can place existing worlds from your campaign into the sector map!
• Bug fix for the world info popover to make sure it points to the selected world. 2.0 10/23/2017 Adds a map legend to help explain the colours used in the map, and what they mean. Minimum OS version increased to 10.3 1.3 05/29/2017 Sharing: use the share button to send your sector to someone else (your players, your GM, your mom even) via hyperspace (or, more accurately, the standard system share sheet). Now everybody in your group can have their own copy of the sector map!

You can also use this to backup your precious sector to iCloud Drive, Dropbox, email, etc. Sector files are approximately 400-500KB

Bug fix: fixes a silly bug where the location of every world would show as 0101

If you find Sector fun and useful please spread the word, and kindly leave a review. 1.2 05/05/2017 Adds the ability to delete a sector that you've created - swipe to send it to the supermassive black hole of your choice!

Adjusts the minimum zoom scale, so you should always be able to see at least one entire subsector on screen at a time.

Makes a bit more space on the home screen for the list of saved sectors 1.1 05/01/2017 1.0 04/28/2017
