Manufacturer Data

Manufacturer Data

Identifying a manufacturer for a product can add an extra bit of flavor to your game. Although the Central Supply Catalog supports the capability to associate a manufacturer with a product, a resource such as the Traveller Wiki is more suited to handling the details of a manufacturer, e.g., the history, lines of products, etc. Alternatively one can host that page (or pages) on a different site if desired. The Central Supply Catalog provides a convenient facility to link to those external pages so that your manufacturer can get the recognition it deserves.

File Location

The manufacturers data file (manufacturers.json) is located in the progdata directory. It contains an array of manufacturer objects with the following format:

{
  "id": n,
  "name" : "",
  "url": ""
}

• id - unique id assigned by the project administrator
• name - Manufacturer name
• url - URL pointing to the manufacturer page

Submission Process

New manufacturers can be submitted through several channels:

1. [Preferred] Submit the entry in the issue tracker with the label 'New Manufacturer'.
2. Send the information in an email to [CSC Support](mailto: trav-csc-support@pheonic.com).
