Hadalis Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Perfect Presentation Of Canabilistic Beauty Insect-like creatures burrowed up from the depths of the ocean planet. Winged and ugly, constantly in barbaric frenzy but strongly controlled by the First Citizen. We flock from world to world, the colonization wave ever going faster and the stain of resources consumed expanding ever more. But fear not since they are not without reason or mercy. The First Citizen struggles to harnesses the awesome power, but succeeds. Pleased to meet you all fellow players. I hope to have fun in this game. The many friendly and helpfull posts on this forum makes me think i will. I also hope to, in time, contribute to give out advice and maybe a spreadsheet and tool.

ShadowKitsune Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 If you have C# code that will translate PDF to TXT, you'd be well on your way with a useful tool for SN:ROTE. I have found programs that will do it, but not the raw code ... The quest continues ... failing that I'll have to write my own, which could be fun. -SK PS - Welcome to the game!

Hadalis Posted January 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Thanks for the warm welcome all of you. I have been playing some mmorpgs lately but don't have the time anymore. I played a bit of Supernova before, but that was years ago. I am finding now that it will fit my schedule very well. And it is fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilGartner Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Welcome to the neighbourhood! It's always good to see new victims... uh, players signing in. Ah, Super Nova... The only game I can think of were it pays to be an accountant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The perl-script can be used to tidy it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
