avaiable last three episode files of season 3 have been created from the scratch and four
missing episode pictures have been added. After a break of some weeks, the update will be

Star Trek Dimension
mega update: "Ready for the third millennium" |

Prepared since early September, it is now - finally - online:

many extensions and updates concerning design and content. The mega update includes:

stylish Dimension bar and additional navigational bars in some projects.
- More user comfort with comprehensive notes for the user and
help where it is necessary. Many information files were completely rewritten, and a
guestbook has been added where you can drop me your opinion in a quick and easy way.
- The next generation of web design. Layout and design were
considerably enhanced. All over the site, you will find new or improved images and logos,
the front page was extended and a new design element has been added with the navigational
bars.
- Project update: the Media Library was completely redesigned
and now contains unique new multimedia files, e.g. the extraordinary music from
"Bride of Chaotica" and additional screenshots. New episode reviews in the

First birthday of
Star Trek Dimension with many updates |
|
Today is the first
birthday of the Star Trek Dimension. One year ago on August 2nd, it was officially opened
with the domain www.stdimension.de. That has to be
celebrated, and it will be celebrated with loads of surprises and big updates. For all
english-speaking fans in the internet, and that should be the majority, today the domain www.stdimension.com is opened, so that access to the
international version should be as easy as to the German one. The biggest surprise first:
in the nick of time, the first free avaible, fully animated Windows version of the
holodeck game Velocity with original sounds has been completed. A breath-taking fun, which
can be downloaded now.
A description is avaible in the new project "Star Trek Interactive".
The first part of the exclusive Making
Of Star Trek Dimension reveals everything about the creation of the Star Trek
Dimension, the motives of the author and more - with many never shown pics! Finally, also
the Star Trek: Voyager Guide
is avaible in an English version and with new design. Some episode files, as well as
up-to-date season overviews with pictures are already online. |

Milestone
update: completely revised, redesigned and extended Cartography |
|
After a long break of some months, I
finally managed it to translate the whole new German cartography project, which is already
online since mid-February, into English. It took me several dozen hours to translate all
files which now contain about 25,000 words, so I hope you appreciate my efforts. But I
think the result was really worth the work: the whole Star
Trek Cartography project has been restructed, revised and corrected, brought up to
date (it now contains facts up to [VOY] Live Fast and Prosper) and extended by many
chapters. All pictures were redesigned, and many new diagrams and photos were added. The
design of the entire project was changed to the new Star Trek Dimension design and a new
frontpage was created which resembles the main frontpage. Please read the cartography news
for a complete list of all changes.
Remark: With
the update, also the location of the Star Trek Cartography has changed: please update your
bookmarks to the URL www.stdimension.de/int/Cartography/indx.htm |

Extension of the
Media Library |
|
After the new section
"Sound Effects" has been uploaded a month ago, I have now added the next 60
high-quality wave files to the Media Library, which mainly
cover the topics "Computer" and "Technology" and have the main focus
put on "Star Trek: Insurrection". The section "Backgrounds" with an
extensive collection of background sounds from all series and the movies was newly added.
Altogether, the sound effects library now contains more than 180 qualitative effects and
will be further extended very soon. |

Modifications on
frontpage / Membership in Subspace Comms Network |
|
The frontpage,
which has been extensively reworked and divided into two frames at the beginning of the
year, has now been further adapted, improved and extended. The graphical elements
(Dimension logo, header of the several sections) have been slightly altered and improved.
Two variable frames at the left-hand / right-hand side of the page facilitate a correct
display of the page also at higher resolutions of more than 800x600. The section
"Community" has been newly added; it contains links to my partner sites and the
new Subspace Comms Network. The
Star Trek Dimension belongs to this new web forum since early April. It is a common
project of some of the best Star Trek sites in the internet, that you can visit as of now in order to exchange opinions about the
various aspects of Star Trek. Moreover, in an own forum, you can leave your questions,
ideas and wishes concerning the Dimension. |

Media Library
reworked and extended by a sound effects library |
|
One of the few remaining, not adapted
projects, the Media Library, was now changed to the new color scheme of the Dimension.
Moreover, the project was redesigned, reorganized and divided into sections. Beside the
"Multimedia Themes", the section "Sound effects" has been newly added,
which consists of 120 (!) sound effects from all series and movies, that have an
incredible quality thanks to a sophisticated procedure for eliminating background noises. |

BIG update: 60 new class
specifications in the LCARS database |
|
After I haven't continued the
translation of the German LCARS database (289 files) for
months, I can now proudly present 60 new class specifications avaiable in the English LCARS Database, thus increasing the number of files from
26 to 86. Of course, this wouldn't be possible without the great help of an Internet
fellow, who provided me with the basic translations of the 35 new main files and saved me
a lot of work. Galactic thanks!
Moreover, all class specifications have been reworked: English and German files
now have a compatible scheme of filenames, and all files now include the automatic cross
reference feature, allowing you to display files belonging together with just one click on
the buttons on the left side of the LCARS screen. Furthermore, the photos have been
improved and all diagrams have been recreated in a new design. With so many files in the
English version, I finally decided that it would make sense to include the "A-Z"
and "Search" features from the German version, so that you can now list the
classes alphabetically and search for specific key words. |

New, uniform site
design in nearly all projects |
|
After the design of the frontpage has
already been changed some weeks ago, now almost all other projects (except the Subspace
Manual, the WYLB project, the episode guides and the files on the second server) and
"About the Dimension" pages appear in the new color scheme, too, whereas
numerous pictures have been improved or adapted. Therefore the Star Trek Dimension has now
a standardized design, which should look nice as well as save the eyes while reading. |
| Feb
15th, 2000 |
Slight changes on
frontpage design / Search function added |
|
The design of the frontpage has been changed to a new, universal color scheme which
will be used for all projects in the near future. Furthermore, a powerful site search
function has been added to the frontpage, which you can use to quickly find the
information you want. This service is provided by Vantagenet. |

The Media Library was

very first Star Trek episode "The Cage". Currently, you can download a video
exclusively produced by the Star Trek Dimension including material from the whole
60-minute-plot of this milestone episode.
Furthermore, in the maps archive of the Star
Trek Cartography, the already 4th version of the "Map of Local Space"

The third Year 2000 Special |
|
I've started the new project "Media Library",
which should use the addional web space very extensively. Here you can find all kinds of
media files - MPEG videos, MP3 files, scans and screenshots - collected in certain themes
like the spectacular space battle in Star Trek: First Contact, which is currently
avaiable.
This was the last update of the Year 2000 special and the frontpage will appear in the
usual look in a few days. |
| Jan
2nd, 2000 |
The second Year 2000 Special |
|
I've extended my web space and
therefore I have now several dozens megabytes of additional space for multimedia
files on another server. Some of them are already avaiable in the new MP3 section of the Sound Dimension:
4 marvelous pieces of music from "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" and 4 exclusive
Gene Roddenberry audio files with the truth about Trek and its content.
There is a surprise in the Star Trek Cartography, too.
the Galactic Atlas with already two very extensive and detailed maps. |

Welcome to the year 2000 with an
exclusive Dimension special! |
|
Punctually at the very beginning of the
year 2000, the announced special with many surprises is now avaiable. The frontpage will feature a special Year 2000 logo for some weeks and
inform you in a special area about all special updates of the next days. Moreover, a new
background sound was added, which will remain on the frontpage even after the special is
over. Tomorrow, there will be more surprises. |
