    Dependency updates

    A problem with these big frameworks like Vuejs and Nuxt is that you have to spend a lot of time understanding the dependencies between the different libraries used in the frameworks. Using dependency managers like npm, composer, or mvn, help, but they can also mask details that may be important.

    The following table contains the list of libraries used by the In Dire Straits web site that were updated in the latest set of updates. It didn't take much work to get them updated, I ran npm audit --fix, waited for it to finish, rebuilt, tested the site locally, committed the dependency file package-lock.json, deployed it to a test environment in Vercel, tested there.

    Finally, I reviewed the diff of the package-lock.json file to see what got updated, and built this news update, including the long table below this paragraph.

  • Content session refactoring

    Content session refactoring

    Since I hope to be starting the second campaign in this setting soon, I refactored the configuration and some code so that the session summaries are grouped by campaign.

    This included separating out the news stories and campaign session summaries from the "tatterpedia" and "rules and systems" sections, mostly to simplify the way the breadcrumbs work.

  • Cluster strait journey planner

    2026-03-15

    Implemented a buggy inter-cluster capable journey planner, with a popup that lists most of the possible paths between 2 selected systems, either inside of a single cluster, or between 2 clusters.

  • CLUSTER STRAITS!

    2026-03-09

    Finally, I added cluster straits to the site!

    Cluster straits are those straits between systems in two different clusters. In the setting, cluster straits are harder to navigate safely than regular straits.

    The maps page and the individual cluster map pages show the cluster straits as orange curvy lines, with a label naming the system on the other end of the cluster strait.

    In Dire Straits Local Cluster

    On the individual cluster map pages, clicking on the cluster strait or its label navigates to the cluster map for the other end of the cluster strait.

    I need to work on the code to position the cluster strait labels, they are currently positioned to where the cluster strait would be if it was drawn as a straight line.

    Also, after staring at these maps for hours while working on the code, I decided I liked the "circular" view of the map, so I changed the default to that view.

    Next up: Fix the labels, tweak the positioning of the cluster strait lines so they curve around the systems in the cluster (instead of sometimes running underneath them,) adding a page that shows all the clusters in relationship to each other, and adding the ability to plan a trip between clusters.

    Also, updated the following dependent library versions:

  • Updated Local Cluster Creation page, fixed images on content pages that are image heavy

    2026-01-11

    Game Information

    I re-worked some of the text for the Local Cluster Creation page and added diagrams for the "Link systems" example section. I also added a short description of how we allowed players to modify system attributes after systems were linked up with FTL routes.

    New Features

    Reworked the pages that were image heavy (like the sapient species page) so that links from the table of contents were not nerfed by the Markdown rendering engine.

  • Session 17 added, site features work

    2025-11-16

    Game Information

    Today I updated the summary for Game Session 16 and added a summary for Game Session 17.

    New Features

    • I added a news section for little notes like this.
    • Last week I changed the cluster maps page so that there was a separate page for each cluster, including a page with a nice list of clusters.
    • I'm continuing to work on user registration process, adding in email capability for email verification and password reset. I want to get this finished before I start work on editing these pages in-place.
