This is a kind of "Project Page" for the Autogenerated Galaxy Guide.

Status

I'm working on improving Galaxy Sector 1 and the new Galaxy Sector 2.

For requests and criticism use the thread Galaxy Guide on the Oolite Bulletin Board. or send me (user treczoks) a PM there.

If you can help with knowledge of the game engines interna, please participate in the thread [1]. Pretty, pretty please with sugar on top!

Aims

I started this project because I consider it crucial that in such a multi-author environment the store background is as consistent as possible. When I asked how the various fiction and OXP writers communicate and coordinate their efforts and how they know whether a system is already part of another authors story domain, I only learned that there is no real coordination and synchronisation effort.

Another factor was to get a better overview over the worlds of the Oolite multiverse.

Sources

Information

I started off with an extract of the list in Oolite planet list/Galaxy 1, but I soon learned that this would never give me the information on prices and availabilities of items, so I analyzed the TXTELITE and Oolite sources and the spreadsheet and wrote a perl module to give me all the relevant information.

I took the information on trade routes and regions from the Downloadable Vector Map of Galaxy 1 made by ClymAngus.

Meanwhile there is another project collecting data on ships and equipment from Oolite and the growing set of expansions. Currently a subset of the result is Index_of_artefacts, the full output is https://app.box.com/s/e2yqje0xyj2a0brixd4t7a4ncb0zwqun and the source code to be found at https://github.com/HiranChaudhuri/OoliteAddonScanner.

Icons

I grabbed the icons for governments and economies for the project from an Oolite font png found in the sources:

The Icons for the tech level were made by me:

Tech Level	Logo for the System template	Compact version for tables

Templates

To ease the programming and helping to get a more consistent look, I designed various templates:

The System Description Box on the right side	Template:System
The smaller System Description Box in the text body	Template:SmallSystem
The box for the original Oolite System Descriptions	Template:GalacticCatalogueEntry
Header, Entry and Footer for a Witchspace List	Template:WitchspaceHeader Template:WitchspaceEntry Template:WitchspaceFooter
Header, Entry and Footer for a Systems List	Template:SectorTableHeader Template:SectorTableEntry Template:SectorTableFooter

Dummy templates needed to accomodate ancient MediaWiki

As the extension ParserFunctions 1.1.1 for the MediaWiki 1.9 does not support the "switch" function, I had to work around some problems by creating a bunch of dummy Templates:

Needed for Number-to-Icon conversion in the System template header
Government Icons		Economy Icons
Template:SystemDummyGov0		Template:SystemDummyEco0
Template:SystemDummyGov1		Template:SystemDummyEco1
Template:SystemDummyGov2		Template:SystemDummyEco2
