Features

Disclaimer: RVV uses Wise, which means it currently only works on *NIX and other systems with X-Windows.

• Reads all DosPlan and WinPlan files that contain interesting information (including TRN files(!); but not all incoming messages are parsed to extract information),
• Reads some PHost 3 files (not all util records are used, hullfunc.* and shiplist.txt are not read),
• Attempt at simulating (and verifying) hostruns (both THost (movement with fuel usage) and PHost (movement without fuel usage)),

• Orbiter,
• Exploremap,
• TVCR2 (exploded ships are removed),

• User-data, such that host-simulations take these values into account, stored in turn/user.txt, don't throw these files away,
• Can read playerXX.trn files (used in the archive),
• Knows about ships you've only seen in battle,
• Understands host-configuration (dumps Thost config messages in tconfig.txt),
• Maintains an Archive (automatically saves playerXX.rst, planet.nm, race.nm, utilXX.dat, xyplanXX.dat (for explore(map)) in subdir with the name of the turn number (like JVPC does) as history,
• Can switch between Rst, Trn, w/User and w/History universes (Trn shows only current info; w/User also shows user info; w/History shows all known and derived data; Rst shows turn without any commands applied to it (inasmuch that is useful)),
• Predicts (Tim and Portable)host results (atm ship movement, including gravitonic, tow, intercept, cobol fuel production; minelaying, sweeping and decay; minerals and supplies production, including alchemy, 'mkt, 'lfm', free fighters, fact+mines and bovinoids; structure decay; transfer to enemy ship; native and colonist happiness (incl Hiss), growth (including borg assimilation and amorphous worms) and income, lady royale, terraforming); shown in one Predicted Map,
• Global config and game-specific config (rvv-wise.cfg in both ~/.rvv and the game-directory,

• Zoomable map to give an overview of all data,
• Shows (and provides toggles for): ships, bases, (web)minefields, (PHost) wormholes, (THost) ionstorms, explosions, mines, factories and planetary defense, base defense, base fighters,
• Special selections (Query) to select which planets and ships you want to see details of (under Planet and Ship menu),
• Shows (and provides toggles for): many properties of planets on the map (like minerals, natives, temperature, factories)
• Shows waypoints, warp circles and HYP circles (area between 340 and 360 LY) and a grid,
• Minefield summary (by NicM),
• 7-toggle for ShipScan, SensorScan, BioScan, MineScan, DarkSense and Loki areas (as in JVPC, by NicM),
• User Markers (press Insert, based on coordinates for now),
• Sumaries for planets and ships,
• Shows messages (only the interesting ones!),
• Multi-Toggle for distance-lines,
• Nearest (shown) list of object pops up on MouseClick and can show more detailed info,
• Lists a minefield, wormhole and ionstorm whenever an object within its radius is selected,
• Find functionality for Planets, Ships and Minefields,
