CraigCottingham Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) Update 2022-11-22: kerbal-maps.finitemonkeys.org will be going offline for a short while. I've been running Kerbal Maps on a free dyno on Heroku, and they've decided to do away with those. Since the database features have never been fully implemented, what's currently available can be served from a static web server. I'll just need a few days to move it over. I'll update here once it has been moved. Update 2019-08-18: Version 0.4.3 is deployed. See below for changelog. I am absolutely delighted to announce that Kerbal Maps is available once again, at https://kerbal-maps.finitemonkeys.org. It's still very early days -- there are still a lot of features I'm planning to add, but I wanted to get this out in front of the KSP community as soon as I could. All the basic features you'd expect from a map web app are there (panning and zooming). Something which I think is new is overlays, sets of predefined markers that can be displayed or hidden with a single click. For instance, as of today there's an overlay for all of the anomalies found on each celestial body. Other features I plan to add soon: user accounts, so you can add your own markers and overlays upload of Waypoint Manager config files, making it easier to add markers more overlayable objects besides markers, such as lines, paths, and regions Bug reports, questions, and suggestions are welcome. If you have access to Github, you can open an issue https://github.com/FiniteMonkeys/kerbal-maps/issues; if you don't, please add to this thread and I'll do my best to move it over. A quick follow-up: If anyone knows who currently owns the kerbalmaps.com domain name, please let me know or have them contact me at craig AT cottingham DOT net. Changelog: 0.4.3 (2019-08-18) Overlays weren't wrapping like map tiles. Now they wrap like map tiles, in that neither one of them wraps. There's a legend now for the biome maps. It will be shown when the map style changes to "biome", and hidden when it changes to something else. The default cursor is a more helpful crosshair. 0.3.3 (2019-01-31) Add support for "zoom" query param in URLs. 0.3.2 (2019-01-30) Better support for KSP wiki-style URLs. 0.3.1 (2019-01-30) You can now "search" for a coordinate pair. Look for the sidebar icon that looks like a magnifying glass. Several different formats for entering coordinates are supported: `-0.1027, -74.5754`, `S 0.1027, W 74.5754`, or `0.1027 S, 74.5754 W`. I'm trying to be liberal in what the app accepts, so if you have some other format you'd like to be able to use, let me know and if it's reasonable, I'll try to add it. Query parameters in the URL are now supported. I added this mainly so the links in the KSP wiki will work again. 0.2.0 (2019-01-25) You can now change the celestial body and map style. Look for the sidebar icon that looks like a globe. Note that tile images for the highest zoom level is only available for a few bodies at the moment -- since they're so high resolution, they take a long time to generate (8 hours or so per body), but I'm working on it.

If you mean other planets in the Kerbol system, they're already in there. If you mean something like RSS, I'd have to install it and see, but I don't think it would be terribly difficult.

Stone Blue Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) I'm thinking JNSQ right off the bat... Mainly since that will be my next playthrough, and I *really* like using Telemachus in my playthroughs just wondering if its really involved, mostly on making/modifying the maps to get them ready for inclusion... or if its not too difficult, and mebbe someone could do at least *that* grunt work... vOv Edited July 23, 2019 by Stone Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CraigCottingham Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 @Stone Blue Okay, I just installed JNSQ and Sigma-Cartographer in KSP 1.7.3, and generated level 0 maps for Prax. (I assume it did so correctly, but I can't really tell, because I've never been to Prax. ) I'll start generating all of the maps for all of the celestial bodies in JNSQ and look at how to make the planet pack selectable in Kerbal Maps. For the bodies which are shared between stock KSP and JNSQ, are the maps identical or should I regenerate the stock ones as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow -- "huge degree" is almost an understatement. I generated all of the tiles for zoom level 0 (all the way out) and Kerbin looked nothing like what I was expecting. I have some work to do on kerbal-maps to make it deployable again (apparently I forgot to write down some steps last time I did it ), then I'll add UI to allow switching to the JNSQ pack. Generating all of the tiles may take a little while, but thankfully a weekend is coming up so I can leave my computer churning.

The ocean on Kerbin may not be rendering correctly. I'll have a better idea what I'm talking about soon and if I still think it's a problem, I'll open an issue on Github.

drtedastro Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Thanks for bringing this back / fixing and making it available. Would it be possible to pick / use a different icon for the pointer on the map(s)? something that had an actual 'point' or easier way to point more precisely ?? again, many thanks. cheers.

By "pointer", do you mean: the cursor displayed at the current mouse position; the icon displayed for points of interest (like anomalies); or something else? Or maybe I'm not quite understanding what you're asking for. What problem are you having, that you're hoping will be solved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries. The default cursor depends on your operating system and browser, but in general it's intended for pointing, so it should already be doing a good job of what it's supposed to be doing. That being said, I do have control over what it looks like. What kind of change would you consider to be an improvement? Something like crosshairs? Also note that, if you're visiting kerbal-maps on a mobile device like a smartphone, the browser doesn't display a cursor at all, and there's nothing I can change about that.

I've added an issue for it (https://github.com/FiniteMonkeys/kerbal-maps/issues/70). I had a whole response written up about how the default cursor in your browser should be good enough, then I realized that the default cursor in Kerbal Maps is not your browser's default. I may switch to the browser default first to see how it looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stone Blue Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) @CraigCottingham HI... I'm poking around a little, and attempting to extract JNSQ maps... I was just wondering which, if any, JNSQ bodies you had already extracted... ?? vOv Also, I'm new to using Cartographer, and was wondering if you had one, could you share the exact content of a .cfg used to extract specifically a JNSQ body? Also, which maps does KerbalMaps support? I guess Cartogropher can export moar types than what KM uses? vOv are these it? 1- satelliteColor 2- heightMap 3- slopeMap 4- biomeMap Also wondering what the texture sies are for each zoom level? vOv Thanx EDIT: So I'm hoping to end up fostering Telemachus/KerbalMaps support for JNSQ... If you Discord at all, and want to live chat aboot this at all, I suppose we could take it to Sigma's Mod channel on the Kopernicus server (I go by KineticSloth8StoneBlue on Discord, and am on just aboot everyday)? vOvhttps://bit.ly/kopernicus-discord Edited October 13, 2019 by Stone Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
