SVG Maps

[Acuba]

A small status update from my side. At the moment I'm able to parse nebulae and asteroid fields including their exclusion zones. Nebulae use their defined color and are transparent. Asteroid fields use the same method atm, but i have already the *.tga files, so they will look more like on the ingame navmap in future (thats the reason why the systems are quite colorful atm) .

Tradelanes, jump holes and jump gates are there too. Looking not very fancy, but yeah. Suns are using the color gradient from their definition (core and glow gradient) xD.

The five Liberty core systems, O-94 :p and Connecticut rendered atm: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0...sp=sharing

The Google Viewer transforms them into an *.png, that's why they look so edgy. :/ Download and view them in your browser of choice for the full experience (don't worry, no JavaScript inside).

The next steps are planets and bases. Afterwards the missing stellar objects: wrecks, depots, weapon platforms, hazard buoys and stuff with an id.

atm the script is capable of rendering every system without errors in one go. It takes about 5 seconds. IDs are gathered too and will be used for displaying object names. And the stuff is modular, so rendering options can be turned on and off (like exclusion zones (look at the minefield in LI06).

Please remember that this is a WIP and things can change.

Cheers, Acuba.
