Lots of little things

I've trickled in a lot of things since the last update. Some have been live for a while, others just went in tonight.

Mobile:
  • Updated the UX of the mobile page - you can search, but there's a new "jump" button that's like Google's "I Feel Lucky" - it takes you to the nearest matching world, without bothering to show you search results. Saves a few round trips... if you don't misjump!

I grovelled through HIWG sources at the MU Archive for a few things:

  • Subsectors for Gvurrdon by Roger Myhre
  • Subsector names for K'kree and Hiver homeworlds/capitals

I updated the following sector data files to match the GEnie/Sunbane data, which matches DGP and GDW data more accurately:

  • Core (TD #8, #9, #10)
  • Corridor (TD #18)
  • Deneb (MTJ #3)
  • Ealiyasiyw (TD #18)
  • Hinterworlds (CH #39)
  • Mendan (CH #49)
  • Reft (MTJ #3)
  • Riftspan Reaches (TD #19)
  • Trojan Reach (MTJ #3)
  • Zarushagar (TD #21)

And finally, added routes for:

  • Core (TD #9)
  • Old Expanses (partial, High Passage #3 & #4)

I have Travellers' Digest #12 and #15 inbound, which almost completes the Grand Tour xboat routes, with Old Expanses and Daibei respectively. That just leaves Massilia in #11. So close!

But one last treat - I decided to AJAXify the page a little bit more. Instead of embedding the initial search results, I now query them from the server. There's a special search term "(default)" that will return them. Now give "(grand tour)" a try.

Any other suggestions?
