Sticky Orbit Markers: Show Ap/Pe during maneuver plotting

[munix]

Sticky Orbit Markers

This mod is now deprecated and superseded by Community Fixes:

Original post:

One of the most annoying features (or lack thereof) in the KSP 2 EA for me (and I'm sure many others) has been the fact that your pinned Ap/Pe markers disappear when using the maneuver tool, making it impossible to know your post-maneuver orbit without going back and forth between the markers and the maneuver.

This mod fixes that!

Spoiler

Apoapsis and periapsis shown while dragging the prograde marker on the maneuver tool

Installation

1. Download and install SpaceWarp
2. Download Sticky Orbit Markers and extract the zip file into your game install folder ("Kerbal Space Program 2")
3. Enjoy your markers!

Downloading this when I get home. If all I get is sticky markers, I can deal with all the bugs!

I knew I wasn't the only one annoyed by that  Glad to help out

That was my case too! Thanks a lot. It's ridiculous that after so many year of using KSP1 such an obvious thing was not implemented in KSP2. It was a great surprise to me (and one of disappointments too).

Version 0.2.0

 

The mod now supports loading using the SpaceWarp mod loader!

If you still want to use BepInEx (for example to load some other mods that are exclusive for it), you can! SpaceWarp supports being loaded as a BepInEx plugin from version 0.2.5 so you can use both at the same time.

The weird part is that it seemed to be done very much on purpose, as for why, I honestly can't imagine.

Any chance you can give a few screenshots of where we are supposed to install stuff to?  "Download and install SpaceWarp".  Where do we install this at?

For SpaceWarp installation, I see this thread has been made, I saw the Matt Lowne video earlier and he shows it nicely step-by-step:

As for the mod itself, when you get SpaceWarp up and running, just download the zip and extract it into the KSP folder.

Hope that helps.

Actually, that doesn't help.  Lowne goes way too fast for me to follow, and even when I was finally able to get the zip files downloaded and put in the locations, it didn't work.  I'd really like a step-by-step tutorial on this please.

I'll to show you by memory but it may not be helpful (I'm at work).

I didn't use the mod loader, I downloaded space warp directly. It must be version 5.xx not 6.xx. that could be the issue. Extract to root KSP2 folder.

The mod is where I don't recall, open the mod .zip and extract it to the folder in the root KSP2 directory that matches the name, I believe it's "plug-ins".

Alright, I'll try:

Is that any better?

Yes sir it is!  That's what I needed; Lowne was going so fast that I missed part of what I needed to do.  Thank you kind sir!

Looks like my post didn't go through yesterday. 

You are a savior. This helps so much for precise maneuvers,  at least as close as we can get for now. I dont mind the kraken taking my rockets and all the bugs, just needed this to get more playable. Thank you!!

[Scarecrow71]

Oh my dear lord this mod is worth the price of admission alone.  If I could buy you a pizza or a cold, frosty beverage, I certainly would.
