SWG Manager / News: Recent posts

Hello everyone,

I have joined the SWG Manager project to help actively update the tool in preparation for the impending release of a SWG emulator by one or more of the three teams, SWGEmu, SWGANH and Persistent Worlds, working on their emulators.

The numerous Pre-CU communities are waiting with bated breath for the chance to experience SWG as it should have been kept. It is expected that people will once again find use for this great tool created so many years ago.... read more

I have been away for a while. Unfortunately, I no longer play SWG and do not have time to maintain or develop further on this project.

If anybody with good Java experience wants to pick up this project, feel free to go ahead. The full source code is in CVS according to the requirements for projects on SourceForge. If you want to also use this SourceForge project site, you will need to contact me in order to become a developer with access to the project. Please note that I cannot promise I will be able to offer assistance.

This release features a skill calculator. It is a very basic calculator that only counts skill points. I don't know yet how far I will take this part of the program.

This new version of SWG Manager has a couple of enhancements:

1. You can now define "Schematics Filters" on the Analyze view. Click on the "Edit filters" button to add, edit, or delete filters. Then in the Analyze view select the filter to use.

2. There is a new column in the Analyze view that shows how old the resource is. This is simply the first time that it was made available on www.swgcraft.com. It can be handy to sort by this column to show the newest resources first.

This release includes a number of bug fixes and a new Analyzer feature. This feature is similar to Fooman's "What To Harvest Today". You cannot yet limit the number of schematics that this analyser searches. This will be implemented in a later release.

This release actually stores data on the client and is therefore the first release that is actually usable. However, it should still be considered an alpha-release and any data entered by the user may be discarded in future upgrades. Also, the number of schematics known to the program is currently very limited.

SWG Manager has been released for the first time. As the version number (0.1.1) indicates, this is a VERY early release that is neither feature rich nor bug free.

To try out SWG Manager you simply go to the project homepage http://swgman.sourceforge.net and click a link. Enjoy!
