Library Software
NOTE: March 14th, 2008: I will be posting new software, with hopes that you gearheads will also, onto the CMS system which will be replacing most of this area; the file area is empty, but I'll start populating it soon.
NOTE March 17th, 2005: you know, someone could TELL me that my links haven't worked for over a year. you think this is the only web page I have up? It's NOT. I have hundreds, some even lamer and older than this one!
We'll probably burn in hell for this, but... You can NOT get this software anywhere; nobody sells it, and nobody has it. for a limited time, download Megatraveller II: Quest for the ancients (1.6MB)(FIXED LINK)
An amazing amount of software has been
written for the game, or lends itself readily to GM use. A word of warning, and a pleading
for understanding: None of this software is written by www.vrhome.com
or is our property; to the best of our knowledge it is freely available software. If you
have legal right to a piece of software here and want it removed JUST TELL US! Don't sue.
suing isn't nice. Conversely, if you know of, or
have rights to a piece of information that's NOT presented here, let us know, it will be.

| Excel 4.0 for win | This Excel 4.0 for Win spreadsheet will calculate the number of each type of passenger available at a system. It will also calculate the number of cargo lots and their sizes (limit 15 lots) and add up the amounts. Since there are a lot of random numbers generated and I didn't want the sheet changing everytime I entered a number, I set it for manual calculate (press F9). Don't change anything in the boxes and you should be OK. |
