Traveller RPG SectorGen is a Windows program for generating sectors, based on rules from Mongoose Traveller Second Edition and Traveller 5.10.
Traveller RPG SectorGen is being developed using Python 3.11.6 and PyQt5. There are a few Python programs included.
SectorGen.py will generate a sector at a coordinate chosen. The sector density can be selected. It
will create temporary raw CSV and JSON data files of the last sector generated. Traveller 5 format sector files are generated for each coordinate chosen.
(Optional) CSV_to_GEnie_converter.py will create a GEnie format file from the raw sector data generated.
(Optional) PyMapGen.py will read the Traveller 5 format sector file and display it graphically using PyGame.
(Optional) CSV_to_WBS_converter.py will create an H&E WBS format file from the raw sector data generated.
Windows 11
Has been tested with Windows 10.
Python 3.11.6
This code was written using the C implementation of Python version 3.11. Also known as CPython.
PyQt5 5.15.9
PyQt5 is the framework used for displaying the Window GUI and buttons, etc.
(Optional) pyttsx3 2.90
PyMapGen speaks in Zira's voice (her voice comes with Windows). Can be changed to a different voice in the source.
(Optional) pygame 2.4.0
PyGame is used to draw the maps. It's basically a Python wrapper for SDL 2.26.4, which PyGame includes.
