Well, that's what this thread is about. You can find this 'way' here, courtesy of the D6Holocron.
The rub is that you have to be online for it.

The first link appears to lead to something on your E Drive.  |

Oh...er.... oops... 
It's fixed now, and is also here, but I trust that you were able to find it through the Holocron link. |

I love when I do things like that. 
With a project this complex, though, it's a testament to your work that a bad link is your biggest error.

There are more errors, but not ones that I have been able to fix. Also, my life is moving onto some other projects (like a career-oriented job, finally!), so it will be a while before I pick up this project for a long while.
In the meantime, I'm curious how many people have found the engine at all useful for their games. Unlike the dice-roller, I've not installed a mechanism to tell me how often it is being used. |

| I've found it very useful, both for my games, and for some of my own projects. I actually plan to use it to compile some astrogation charts in the near future. |

| I find it very useful. The only thing that keeps it from being outstandingly useful is that it doesn't give a list of what systems are being passed through when it charts a course. |

I must agree here. Knowing what systems you are passing by, or what trade route you are using can be very very useful in fleshing out encounters and/or side adventures...
BTW, welcome to the Pit, Inviktus.

Yeah, sorry about that. My skills are modest.
However, it's really not hard to figure out if you have 'The Essential Atlas'. Also, if the systems are nearby, you can essentially trace the route on my system pages, by going link to link. |

Still use it for every hyperjump my group makes.
I do divide all the results by 24, but that's just cuz I like my SW Universe cramped [like it is in the films] rather then expansive [like in WEG].

Cool! I'm glad you're getting good mileage out of it. |

For some reason the website no longer wants to fully load on IE8 - theres no destination or hyperdrive type in boxes.
*edit* nvm - its just IE - firefox runs it fine - i thought i had made this statement once before a while back. |

due to avoiding ie 9 and 10 i dont know if there will be any issues with the browsers on the site. but, from working on it with another site you may need to turn on the compatibility view to see everything correctly. but with the latest changes in the browser you may not, stupid microsoft.
from the beginning the site has worked better with the FF browser due to my lack of programming skill. now its due to Microsoft making the browser more annoying in later versions, same with the chrome. FF should still be the best bet right now. sorry if you prefer the others, its not a preference on my part that causes this.

Yeah, that's my fault. I wrote it for Firefox...and... I suck at web design, so I really don't know jack about how to make it compatible with IE or other browsers.
On the bigoted side, I figure if people want to run browsers that don't read .html or .php the way .html or .php are supposed to be read, then they get what they pay for. |
