[1.8.x+] Waypoint Manager [v2.8.1] [2019-10-22]

Recommended Posts

Have you taken a new survey contract and then been frustrated when you had to keep flipping between map and flight mode to find your waypoints? Did you crash your vessel? NEVER AGAIN.

Waypoint Manager does the following:

  • Renders waypoints in flight mode.
  • Gives a GUI listing of all waypoints and allows you to activate navigation from that GUI.
  • Allows the creation of custom waypoints.

If you want to see it in action, check it out in @maxrsp's KSP Easy Mods series:

Custom Waypoints

@Miles Teg has provided some custom waypoint files!  To use them, copy the to GameData/WaypointManager/CustomWaypoints.cfg (I'll have to add a proper file dialog in a future version) and hit the "Import Custom Waypoints" button.  Included are files for the various KSC biomes and for marking off the runway and helipads.

Download

Waypoint Manager can be downloaded from GitHub.

Documentation

No documentation, just install and enjoy the waypoints.

Sweet. Less than 12 hours before I'll be recording a video where I'll be doing survey contracts. Expect your mod to take center stage of that video :)

Awesome, I can't wait to check it out! Make sure you grab the 1.0.3 release that I just uploaded - it fixes an annoying culling issue that causes waypoints that are supposed to be behind the camera to be drawn.

Oh and any feedback on the waypoint draw distance would be appreciated. It's currently based on speed - if you're going very fast (ie. in orbit), it will show faraway waypoints. If you're going slow (driving on the surface or stopped), it'll only show waypoints within 25km. Right now that's not tweakable, but I'll probably expose it via a config file at some point.

I just installed the 1.0.3 version now :)

IMO, if you've targeted the waypoint it should show up at all times. If you (the player) don't want it on the screen, don't target it :D

Great suggestion, was going to throw that in since I thought it should be super easy.... but I can't seem to find a way to get which waypoint is active!! That might be a private method. I'll have to do some more digging.

Very nice. Is it possible to display distance to waypoint?

Another good suggestion, let me look at that as well for the next version.
