SCANsat Development Version 17.3

Unimplemented or Unfinished Features:

• MechJeb integration disabled

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

Minor:

• Some UI sychronization errors
• Changes in some settings will require toggling a window off and on again before taking effect

Not a bug:

• Existing settings will mostly be reset (scanning data is maintained)
• Reverting to SCANsat v16.x or earlier will result in loss of scanning data

Change Log:

• Implement BTDT scanner readout

• Add a flashing waypoint icon when selecting waypoint site
• Add a separate option for zoom map (and RPM map) biome borders
• Fix instruments window resource selection buttons

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
