Hi Trekkies,
here a simplified formula to calculate the Stardate.
Anybody out there who can make a small plugin delivering the result as property to MP (#stardate)?

s=(y+(((((m/60)+h)/24)+(d-1)/265,24))-2323)1000

s= Stardate
y=Year (e.g. 2012)
m=Minute (e.g. 15)
h=Hour (e.g. 11)
d= Day of the year (e.g. 6.3.2012 = day 66)

Tried it with the skin expressions for date conversions, but no luck.

Hi.
Maybe I finally can start learning to write a MP plugin. I think this stardate plugin could be a really simple test object for this...

LCARS Font
The new version 5.2 of LCARS includes the original LCARSGTJ3.ttf in the Fontrs folder of the skin.
You´ll also find a xml named XXXfonts.xml with the metrics for this font.
So if you want the "real" Star Trek feeling, do the following:

1. Navigate to the LCARS\Fonts folder
2. Doubleclick on the LCARSGTJ3.ttf and choose install.
3. In LCARS folder, rename fonts.xml to e.g. YYYfonts.xml
4. Then rename XXXfont.xml to fonts.xml.
5. Clear the skin cache.
6. Restart MP.

I didn´t make this the default/installed font because for me it´s nearly unreadable, but people with better eyesight may love it.
Enjoy

Pls find enclosed the new waiting icons replacing the "WORKING...." ones.
Just copy those into xour LCARS\Media folder (overwrite), clear the skin cache and restart MP.

Hi.
BTW. Witch version of WorldWeater is supported on 5.2? The stable .45 or the nightly .48? As I will get a new TV Card today I will install Windows from scratch and I don't want to fiddle to much until I'm up and running again...
