CIC MP01 (Warfare Plotter) Latest Topics

Version 1.0.7.6 Released

Fri, 05 Sep 2014 20:32:22 +0000

This is most notable just for the fact that I have the programming toolchain updated. Hopefully more to follow this Fall/Winter.

Version History

1.0.7.6 2014-09-05

Changes

1. The world country outlines layer will no longer make the countries fill in with a

solid white when the plotter is loaded a second time.

2. Scenario start date/time is now kept in the scenario file.

...

41661.0

The "current" time as well as other timestamps in the scenario file

will be stored as offsets from the start date/time.

In the example above, a "current" timestamp of 1.0 would evaluate

to 41662.0 (January 2, 2014)

!!!For 1.0.7.6 the only the "start" time is tracked!!!

1.0.7.4 2009/04/17

Changes

1. Added status bar display of range and bearing from last click to current mouse position.

1.0.7.3 2009/04/05

Changes

1. Per map status bar will now show bearing from last click to current click in addition to the range.

(thanks Brains and Pete)

1.0.7.2 2009/04/04

Changes

1. No more need to copy in temp.env upon each load of the program, the plotter now

properly preseves the .env file.

1.0.7.1 2009/03/30

Changes

1. If you have a temp.env file in the plotter directory, the plotter will use that

to load globe settings (i.e. if you develop a custom map with MapBuilder, the

.env file holds the presenters and such for that map). Note that the .env

file is immediately over-written once it is read so keep a copy of the .env

to keep plugging in each time you open the plotter.

2. Fixed the dual creation of each map window.

I have Harpoon4 and a group of players to play with and as such i am trying to figure out a way to keep track of all the units accurately without going nuts. I downloaded the demo of this program and it looks like it would be perfect tracker for our games. But one question. If i put all the units on the Main Map is there any way to hide them on other tabs? In theory i could then keep a master track and move everything on the main map, while being able to show the players only their ships and what they have detected on other maps/tabs?

CIC MP01 still for sale?

Just a quick question: Is StratSims still providing license codes for CIC MP01?

I discovered it some time ago, and there are some chances that I could use it in a game.

I see that payments are still accepted, but being a "closed" project, i'd like to be sure before going on...

Also, it would be very interesting the multiplayer option that was discussed elsewhere in the forum

Thanks in advance

The CIC Warfare Plotter aka MP01 was the first, and so far only, product released under the Stratsims banner. The goal was to explore the use of a globe map interface. We achieved all of the goals of the "mini project". Further development is unlikely but you never know for sure.
