standalone radar mod?

[nascarlaser1]

Hi guys!

Does anyone know of any radar mods that are standalone? I know Bdarmory has a radar function, but I don't like having weapons in a game not meant (imho) to have weapons. Is there a way to make a part similar to the radar in that mod, and maybe even make it detect easter eggs within a certain distance?

I don't believe there is such a thing, no. The closest thing I can come up with would be SCANsat, but that's probably not close enough for your purposes...

HI, just for reference BDA radar does not actually function in the manner you'd like, it can only detect craft that contain a certain part or module, It does not detect other craft, terrain or buildings.

As Streetwind mentioned above, the closest current mod that provides the functions you want is indeed scansat, and that would form a better starting point for development than the BDA radar

Dmagic Orbital Science has a part that detects easter egg from 25 kilometers away I think. That could give you the code you need.

does the part require to be in orbit though? (I know absolutely zip about coding ).

No, it only can see them 25 kilometers away. Works great on non-atmospheric low orbiters or rovers. (Or planes.) Don't ask me how it works though! (I'm pretty sure it only detects stock anomalies like Kerbnet does.)
