Sector - SciFi RPG map tool

September 13, 2018

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.

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.

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.

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
