Unimplemented or Unfinished Features:

Color management window:

  • Unchanged from previous versions
  • Some features won't work properly
  • Some changes won't take effect until the other windows are toggle off and on again

Other:

  • BTDT instruments window readout disabled
  • MechJeb integration disabled
  • Planetary overlay map tooltips disabled
  • There are no confirmation or warning popups when resetting scanning data

Known bugs:

Major:

  • Some odd behavior may be observed when planetary overlay maps are left on when switching vessels or scenes
  • Always manually turn off overlay maps
  • Toggling any overlay map on and off should fix any problems (usually text that becomes unreadable)

Minor:

  • Some UI sychronization errors
  • Changes in some settings will require toggling a window off and on again before taking effect
  • Tooltips may get stuck on in some rare cases

Not a bug:

  • Existing settings will mostly be reset (scanning data is maintained)

Change Log:

Zoom map overhaul:

  • Built using the new UI system
  • Map uses orthographic projection to minimize distortion near the center
    • Similar to the polar map projection
    • Can be centered at any location instead of just the poles
    • Up is always oriented north
  • Map controls for adjusting the map center
  • Selection menus for map type and resource selection (if more than one is loaded)
  • Option to display the altimetry map legend
  • Option to lock the map view to the current vessel
    • All map refreshes will recenter on the vessel
  • Three different zoom map size options
    • Full map with top and bottom control bars
    • Medium map with only top control bars
    • Compact map with no control bars
    • Control with button in the top right
  • Readout display only visible when mouse is hovering over the map

Stock waypoint generation:

  • Big map and zoom map can be used to create stock waypoints
  • Click the waypoint button in the bottom right of either map
    • Select a point on the map and left-click to assign the waypoint location
    • Edit the waypoint name in the text input field (limited to 20 characters)
    • Click set to generate the waypoint

Narrow Band scanner resource requirement:

  • Fixed this requirement (which can be toggled in the resource page of the settings window)
    • Used to determine the availability of resource overlays on the zoom map
    • Determines the accuracy resource readouts on the big map
  • When using stock scanning it will search for a vessel with a Resource scanning KerbNet module in orbit around the target planet
  • When using SCANsat resource scanning it will search for the SCANsat resource scanner module specific to the selected resource

Other updates and bug fixes:

  • Use dot stlye texture for the big map grid overlays
  • Open zoom map by right-clicking on the big map
  • Implement all text input fields
    • Implement control locks when editing input fields
  • Faster map generation speed
    • Maps update twice per frame (generally the same as with the old UI)
    • Option in the settings window to limit to one update per frame
  • Fixed some floating point errors in map generation
  • Various minor fixes and additions to the UI
  • Fix an error when the small map is opened in biome mode
