[0.22] Kerbal Maps: Web maps of all bodies. Biomes and text info. (v0.11 Oct 8)

[saik0]

Nice one! This looks awesome thank you for the update. I think I've asked this before but is it okay, if I add links from wiki articles like from here to your map? I just want to make sure that it's okay that you got additional traffic (maybe) from the wiki.

Ha my estimation with 0.445 px/100 m wasn't that far off (for Kerbin).

Fabian

Yes thats fine, just no links to links to test, thats running on an Intel Atom powered box in my garage.

I'm really glad you added the biomes to the map. Thank you. I would like to ask, is it possible for you to make the maps wrap horizontally, like google maps does? Secondly, can you list degrees-minutes-seconds next to the current coordinates for latitude/longitude?

Actually Eve and Laythe have a "surface" and "ocean" biome, at least as far as any science that cares about biomes (EVA, Gravity, etc) are concerned, even if they don't have a proper biome map.

It's not possible to wrap horizontally right now, maybe when Leaflet 0.7 comes out if projections are fixed. You can switch between decimal and DMS formatting by clicking on the coordinates. Did not know that about Eve and Laythe, cool.

[Erzengel]

You can switch between decimal and DMS formatting by clicking on the coordinates.

Oh awesome, That'll make landing with MechJeb easier, thank you.

EDIT

OK, two more things then.

The POI and Anomaly markers only show decimal, and clicking on it doesn't switch to DMS formatting. I imagine that's because they're just labels, not something programmed to be interactive.

Can you wrap the latitude and longitude in the "loc" GET variable? Telemachus is passing in, say, -300.34 for the longitude sometimes (which should be 59.66), and rather than normalizing the value kerbal maps puts the marker off the map. Sure it's a bug in telemachus, but it's also a bug in Kerbal Maps that it doesn't normalize and sanitize data (when possible, throw an error otherwise) from third parties. A simple while(lat < -180) lat += 360; while(lat > 180) lat -= 360; would do it.

Actually lat % 180 should do the trick too: For example if lat is -200 it returns -20 and 20 for +200.

Added textual elevation and slope on hover, and a loading indicator to show when the textual data is loading.

Oh awesome, That'll make landing with MechJeb easier, thank you.

Eventually the marker popups and info control will both format coords according to user preference, what we have now is placeholder. Not sure whether I want to wrap to map bounds, I'll have to think about it (right now the validator only ensures it's numeric).

Hey, so I've tried to turn the Mün 0.21 truecolorcomposite.tif found on your download link into a wallpaper (as I've done successfully with several of the other bodies you've mapped) but the program I'm using keeps crashing upon trying to open it. I'm suspicious that it has to do with biome data being intermingled with it, and suspect the same crash would happen if I tried with Kerbin's map. Is there anything I (or you) could do? Really love what you've done here, by the way.

They should Add Krag's new planets.

[TicTacToe!]

They should Add Krag's new planets.

Came here just to write this. Whilst not part of the "official" game, it would be a great favour to do, would love to see the developer give feedback on this.

[MmPMSFmM]

version 0.23 adds biome maps to Minmus.

Could you please add them too?

Also, the Kerbin and Mun maps are changed slightly.

Sure.

The biome map, height map, and color map?

[DerekL1963]

Just wanted to say how much I use and appreciate these maps. Thanks!

[MmPMSFmM]

The biome map, height map, and color map?

Let me see...

* Solar System:

- Added a new Biome Map for Minmus.

- Cleaned up the Biome Maps for Kerbin and the Mun, to remove areas where Biomes would be detected incorrectly.

Only biome

[Endraxial]

Any particular reason there's not a download for the 0.21 version of the Eve truecolorcomposite map on the mega site?

[MmPMSFmM]

How's progress going?

[Gnonthgol]

Getting tired of waiting for this. I have started my own project. Have gotten to the point of having High-rez composite maps including biomes. If Saik0 wants some help/help me then I would be very happy.

[hakan]

Nice, could we get a preview to test with?

[Gnonthgol]

I have not gotten that far yet. The code currently requires recompilation for every image I create. But I am working on great stuff here. I plan to release all the source code for this so that it is not lost.

[XiXLLAMAXiX]

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to download an offline version of the current website. I frequently have spotty/non-existent internet, and I've found that this website has been a phenomenal help for planning missions, and it would be nice to have access to it in times when I don't have internet access. Is such a thing possible?

[Lexxy Fox]

Eventually the marker popups and info control will both format coords according to user preference, what we have now is placeholder. Not sure whether I want to wrap to map bounds, I'll have to think about it (right now the validator only ensures it's numeric).

Your maps have improved my gaming experience greatly, and I have to thank you so much for making it. I made this forum account just to thank you.

Features I'd like to see/currently working on myself:

• DMS format for coordinates
  
• Offline mode
  
• Grid lines
  

I've read at least one other person besides me in this thread would like to see the popups in DMS format. I whipped up this quick little bit of code to convert the popups for anyone that's interested:

javascript:var a="(-?([0-9]*.[0-9]+|[0-9]+))",a=new RegExp(a+" : "+a),c=L.KSP.CelestialBody,i=document,j,k,d=i.createElement("style"),z="overlays";i.head.appendChild(d);d.sheet.insertRule(".leaflet-popup-content table{font-size:12px;text-align:right}",0);map.infoControl.options.dms=true;for(i in c)for(j in c[i][z])for(k in c[i][z][j]._layers)(d=c[i][z][j]._layers[k]._popup)._content=d._content.replace(a,function(a,b,a,a){return L.KSP.Control.Info.prototype._dmsFormatter({lat:b,lng:a})});

Or use the userscript version (tested with Greasemonkey and Tampermonkey):

http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/377324

Tomorrow/eventually I'll work on making it toggle-able between DMS and decimal, and also remembering the selected preference. I'll work on offline mode tomorrow also, but it'll be much better if it's implemented in the map itself.

Added userscript

[amrok]

That is very useful great work! Please add 0.23 version maps, they have biomes on Minmus now!

[Raven.]

I apologize for bumping this thread, however, I am curious as to the licensing behind these maps. Are mod authors allowed to modify and re-distribute the maps for their own mods and plugins?

Thank you.

[Bison Steve]

I love your maps and have been using them since it was just Kerbin and the moons. I would, however, like an ETA on the DMS coordinates as that is what my game (and MechJeb) are set to. Or if someone simply has a conversion equation that would be great! Keep up the great work and thank you for providing this awesome resource!

[MalfunctionM1Ke]

Is there any chance to get Kerbalmaps up to date?

I am still using it for various Missions and it would be great to have the new Biomes on each planet.

[YNM]

Is it possible to obtain the map in full resolution, in a single image ?

[North]

Im sorry to say but the website is no longer working
