[1.0.4][WIP][Plugin] MapViewPlus v0.1.1

[rmpalomino]

Hello everyone, I'd like to present a work-in-progress plugin that adds a little to the Map View.

Please let me know if you find it useful or if you have any features to suggest.

Map View Plus

Available on KerbalStuff: [removed link to defunct website]

Source available on Github: https://github.com/rmpalomino/mapviewplus

Javascript is disabled. View full album

Features:

• Adds a window allowing you to change focus to any maneuver nodes / celestial bodies / return to the current ship without having to cycle with Tab or Left-Shift + Tab.
• Does not lock default cycling (or return to ship with Backspace) so you can still Tab or Left + Shift-Tab if you prefer
• Opens the Navball by default when entering Map View

Installation

1. Unzip the archive.
2. Copy the MapViewPlus folder in MapViewPlus[X.X]/GameData/ to your [KSP Directory]/GameData/ folder.
3. Test it out and give me some feedback.

v0.1.1

• Fixed ApplicationLauncher icon
• Fixed non-interactive navball in Mapview

Downloaded, This is probably the first time I've downloaded a mod that doesn't have any pictures (No pics, No clicks rule).

Thanks for the reminder and the leap of faith! I put up two quick images. Still trying to figure out how to post an album.

[Gaalidas]

Can't help with the album, but I must say this is something I didn't know I needed, and I may just add this to my install sometime soon. Actually, I had no idea that Tab/Shift-Tab even did anything in the map view.

You might look into adding a config file so one might toggle on/off any of the features you add. For instance, a user might want everything except the navball defaulting to visible.

I am having an issue with your plugin. Whenever I go into the map view the nav-ball is visible but I can't throttle or move my ship. I also cannot move or use the throttle when I hide the nav ball. Also your icon on the toolbar becomes white when you use half-res.

Did you realise that you can return to the current ship in Map View by pressing "Backspace"?

Nice little mod! You can add an album by using the IMG tags and you would put the last bit of the link created by Imgur when you select the Embed option for the album. The embed code looks like this and what you need to put between the IMG tags is in red bold italics:

\\<blockquote class="imgur-embed-pub" lang="en" data-id="a/ZKRGt"><a href="//imgur.com/a/ZKRGt">View post on imgur.com</a></blockquote><script async src="//s.imgur.com/min/embed.js" charset="utf-8"></script>\\

Great and very useful idea! well done!

[rmpalomino]

Thanks everyone! IMGUR seems to be working for me, let me know if that's only because I'm logged in there too or something.

Updated to v0.1.1

• Fixed non-interactive navball
  
• Fixed path to ApplicationLauncher icon

This mod doesn't work for me. I get a little white square on the toolbar instead of a graphic, and when I open the window the window is blank (has a title - 'Select Focus'). However, I can't move the window and it acts as a shadow mask on other mods' windows that happen to overlap - ie, all other windows disappear when I click on them (MJ, KER, etc) unless they overlap the select focus window.

Mods: MJ, KER, Distant Object, QuickSearch, iPeer clamps be gone, KAC. Running 1.0.4

[Baleur]

I love this except that it doesnt work in the tracking station! Would be nice to be able to easily click between the planets in the list in the tracking station without having to launch a flight.

[OzoneGrif]

Thanks for this mod, I've got a problem with it.

There are apparently conflicts with how Nodes are deleted.

Sometimes MapView won't see that a Node doesn't exists anymore, and it causes a tons of bad side effects in game.

I've had this randomly during normal normal flights.

I also found a way to make this bug happen 100% of the time by using Mechjeb "Execute next node" functionality.

[maculator]

Great mod but I got the same problem like OzoneGrif:

When I delete a note with mechjeb it stays in the list resulting in endless "maneuver node #1" entries...

Possible to fix?

Just to report in: works fine in 1.0.5 here (W10 x64, OpenGL)

Can confirm too: Seems ok in 1.05.

[Akira_R]

This is an awesome idea!!

One suggestion is to add either a search function, or add filter categories similar to what we have in the tracking station. Have tabs that allow you to show the names of only celestials, or stations or pods or probes etc.

[Galenmacil]

... and have MapViewPLus remember it's window position between launches.

Thanks for the mod.

Does it work in 1.1?

Its a .dll, and works with the stock UI, so most likely not...

@rmpalomino Any chance of continuing development? If not, what are your feelings on someone else continuing the mod?

[Galenmacil]

Just adding my voice: I would also like to see a version for KSP 1.1.x... Thank you.

[Cornholio]

This mod is excellent, looking forward to an update to 1.1!
