No Man's Connect

This is a location manager that syncs your current game's coordinates, uploads them to a server, and indexes a list of everyone's coordinates using the app. It also provides a map that plots your coordinates relative to the center of the galaxy.

Attribution

NMC uses Matthew Humphrey's nmssavetool for signing the save data, and the cheat menu functionality was ported to JS from it as well.

monkeyman192 provided the formula for transferring base data to different locations.

bdew provided code for decompressing the save file format in NMS Frontiers.

Thanks to both of them, the supporters that have helped out with server maintenance, and bug reporters! A list of contributors can be found in the app's About dialog.

If you like using NMC and want to be credited in the About dialog, or get exclusive access to early beta builds, please consider becoming a Patron of the project. The main goal of using Patreon is to help cover server costs. NMC currently uses a VPS plan on Linode with backups, which costs $50 USD per month, and is the cheapest plan that can handle the app's traffic during peak hours. Thanks for your consideration!
