Ur Quan Masters Maps (Star Control II)

These are PDF maps for The Ur Quan Masters, also known as Star Control II. If you don't have a copy already you can get The Ur Quan Masters for free, legally, from here, for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and other platforms.

The black background versions of the maps look cool, but will chew up printer ink. The white background versions are nicer on your ink.

• Spoiler free. These are functionally identical to the Official map, but are high quality PDFs instead of a JPG.
  • Safe version, black background
  • Safe version, white background
• Spoiler filled. These include the spheres of influence as of the game's start and marks the various stars of note.
  • Spoiler-filled, black background

These maps were generated by a Perl script and the original Ur Quan Masters source. You can download the source here.

The program is based on the excellent uqmmap by Rob Bloom. Thanks to his generosity in releasing the source, I was able to extend it.

My changes include:

• Addition of the spheres of influence, either as printed on the original map, or at the start of the game.
• Re-laid out the page. The list of stars now uses a slightly larger font, and the map itself is slightly larger.
• Added a glow around the stars.
• Added a full legend for all of the star colors and sizes, similar to the official map.
• Minor formatting tweaks.
• Some internal refactoring of the code.
• Constellations match the constellations for the original map. (New, 2010-03-07)

Updates

• 2010-03-07a: Fixed constellations to match original map
• 2010-03-07b: Zone of influence labels are now curved, similar to the original map. Switch from Create::PDF to PDF::API2.
