Adding Biome Detection to Plugin

[toadicus]

I'm looking into adding biome detection to an informational addon. Looking through the API, the most straightforward method seems to be:

Vessel V = Vessel();
CBAttributeMap.MapAttribute TheAttribute = V.mainBody.BiomeMap.GetAtt(V.latitude * Math.PI / 180d, V.longitude * Math.PI / 180d);

The problem with that is that CBAttributeMap.GetAtt posts a debug message to ScreenMessageStyle.UPPER_RIGHT, which is ugly the first time and a huge nuisance when the UI is running at high frame rates.

So, I took it upon myself to rewrite CBAttributeMap.GetAtt. I can't find what I missed... anyone else care to put eyes on this?

Here's my code: http://pastebin.com/XWtLnnS9

I've found a couple of (frankly embarassing) maths errors that I believe were at fault. Resolved for now?

Could you share the fixed source?

Sure, here it is: http://pastebin.com/Squ1Ctib

Based on a weekend-long playtest, that version works just fine.

Are you looking at making something just to report what biome a craft is in? I can't offer any help, but I'd love to have such a thing. Spamming crew reports just isn't going to hold up for long term.

I am no longer looking to do so; in fact I already have. Now available in VOID: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/54533-0-22-VOID-Vessel-Orbital-Informational-Display
