sbs Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I have started writing a routing software for helping picking the best route on VLM races (it is available in the routing tool section of the forum). The current wiki and documentation is in french, but the software is all in English, so if there is some interest among English speaking players, we could arrange some translation of the current wiki so that you may also get help to using this tool.

sbs Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 yes SBS that would be good, what would you like me to do? I just mainly maintaining the english version of the wiki, I'll translate the 1st post so that you can read it and I'll make sure to post in both languages when making updates. Maybe we can start with a google translate of the wiki, that you could ajust for the auto generated "poetry" . I don't know if the wiki as support for multilingual pages or if we just duplicate pages with a naming rule for the pages. -- SBS Quote Link to comment
sbs Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 (edited) The "Routeur" is a boat routing program for VLM. It routes your boat from its current position to a race WP using the optimal route, avoiding any obstacle. The Wiki contains all indications (in French ritght now, but the english version will come soon) and is there:Routeur documentation The software setup can be downloaded from here :Routeur setup You will need Microsoft framework .Net 3.5 SP1 to use this software. Theframework is available from Microsoft there : DotNetFX3.5SP1 Make sure the language is appropriate, before htting download. The setup has only the base world map. Detailed map can be downloaded here:Detailled Maps The content of this archive shall be extracted to the gshhs folder of the application Unzip the routeur.zip archive, in a temporary folder, and start the setup.exe. (you should have downloaded and installed Microsoft's Framework 3.5 SP1 before, this limits usage of the software to Windows XP SP3 and above). You'll notice that the version number starts with 0 to indicate that this is no commercial grade software. Let me know if you have any bug or trouble, I'll try my best to get the bug fixed and improve the functions as time goes by. -- SBS Edited March 15, 2011 by sbs Quote Link to comment

sbs Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 XP users be warned, a bug prevents proper execution of the last version of the routeur. Use V0.11 if under XP. Vista and Win 7 users can use the last version. Sorry for the inconvenience. -- SBS Quote Link to comment
