You can't just strip stuff out and make it work. It would require rewriting a great many number of calculations because they're all calculated using three point vector math.

I've no idea how the space system works but I think Kayle is right in saying that it's probably not well suited for what you want either.

And you really need to weigh the pros and cons of having to convert the space system to work with oceanic travel versus writing an oceanic travel system from the ground up.[/quote] Well my idea is to simplify the system a great deal. The system I have in mind is merely a method of transportation that will get you across the mediteranean faster than walking or riding with a caravan by land would.

And you really need to weigh the pros and cons of having to convert the space system to work with oceanic travel versus writing an oceanic travel system from the ground up. There's also a metric ton of things that need to be taken into account for sea travel, that don't for space travel. For instance: currents, wind, curvature of the earth, etc. None of these things are even touched upon in the space system, and all of which are [i]ext https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/theme-shift-from-swfote-to-ancient-roman-theme-need-help-4550/&p=21707#p21707 Thu, 9 Jun 2011 01:38:12 CDT SWFOTE FUSS nobody@example.com (InfiniteAxis) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/theme-shift-from-swfote-to-ancient-roman-theme-need-help-4550/&p=21702#p21702 I considered using smaug, but I don't want the overland map system. I prefer the standard method of movement. Smaug would probably be a better starting point for me if only it had oceanic travel. The space system will work nicely for me in that regard though. Instead of Planets, I would use land_masses or continents or something to that nature. Instead of starsystems it would be called something else, territory or something.

The SWR code, generally speaking, sees space as a wide open place. The coordinates are stored with the ship, IIRC, and it makes checks for things like combat there. Also hyperspace, landing procedures, planets, multiple "space" rooms, all sorts of things will need to be accounted for. Personally I'm just using Smaug by way of LOP, and making a ship sail https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/theme-shift-from-swfote-to-ancient-roman-theme-need-help-4550/&p=21697#p21697 Tue, 7 Jun 2011 06:51:51 CDT SWFOTE FUSS nobody@example.com (Sanus Compleo) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/theme-shift-from-swfote-to-ancient-roman-theme-need-help-4550/&p=21695#p21695 I've just begun a project which I fully expect to be a difficult undertaking for me. However it is one which I am very excited about so I'm willing to try and learn more about coding to pull it off. I'm going to be starting out using the swfotefuss code, but I plan on stripping everything that is starwars based and changing the theme completely. I am going with an ancient roman theme. The reason I want to start with an swr based code is because I plan on having the ability to travel by sea https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/theme-shift-from-swfote-to-ancient-roman-theme-need-help-4550/&p=21695#p21695 Tue, 7 Jun 2011 02:58:00 CDT SWFOTE FUSS nobody@example.com (Igabod)
