Extracting terrain data from KSP ?

[HerrCrazi]

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to extract hi-res data from KSP, like Kerbin's heightmaps. What I would be ideally looking for is the kind of data provided by tools such as KerbalMaps.

I should precise that I'm quite new to KSP modding/hacking. Please also note that I'm not looking for those 8000×4000 heightmap PNGs that can be easily found.

Thanks by advance for your answers !

Ran across this just a few days ago  - looks like it's for 1.3.1 - doesn't seem to work in 1.4.4 (a recompile might help) Sigma-Cartographer

I haven't received any complaints about cartographer, are you sure it doesn't work on 1.4.4?

I've double checked - did a fresh install of 1.4.4 with only Cartographer added. KSP came up as usual without any delays and didn't see any Cartographer related errors in the log - but no directories were created and no maps. To be clear there were three files in Sigma\Cartographer\ when I installed it - the dll, the version file and the cfg file - directory was unchanged after booting KSP and then quitting from the space center scene.

I then made a fresh 1.3.1 install - same same setup as the 1.4.4 test. I booted KSP and there was a long pause before the start screen during which time the PluginData\Kerbin\Sigma\Cartographer\Maps\ColorMap path was created and the map created in the ColorMap folder.

This was my cfg file - copied for the most part from a post by blowfish:

SigmaCartographer
{
    Maps
    {
        body = Kerbin // the name of the body           (default = Kerbin)
        width = 4096  // the total width of the texture (default = 2048)
        tile = 2048   // the width of one tile          (default = 1024)
        exportFolder = Sigma/Cartographer/Maps        // path for the export folder
        leaflet = false // export in folders divided by columns and rows (default = false)

        heightMap = false    // export height?    (default = false)
        normalMap = false    // export normals?   (default = false)
        slopeMap = false     // export slopes?    (default = false)
        colorMap = true      // export color?     (default = true)
        oceanMap = false     // export ocean?     (default = false)
        satelliteMap = false // export satellite? (default = false)
        biomeMap = false     // export biome?     (default = false)

        oceanFloor = true    // include the ocean floor ? (default = true)
        normalStrength = 1   // strength of normals (default = 1)
        slopeMin = 0.2,0.3,0.4 // color for  0° slope (default = 0.2,0.3,0.4)
        slopeMax = 0.9,0.6,0.5 // color for 90° slope (default = 0.9,0.6,0.5)

        LAToffset = 0 // offset latitude (default = 0)
        LONoffset = 0 // offset longitude (default = 0)
        
        // if you want to print only selected tiles
        // add as many of these as you want
        // if you don't add any of these
        // all tiles will be exported
        //printTile = 0
        //printTile = 1
    }
    Info
    {
        // List all the bodies for which you want info on
        // the lowest and highest point on the planet
        //body = Kerbin
        //body = Mun
    }
}

I have the log files from both tests and can upload if you'd like - or I can see about opening an issue on you github page.
