[0.24.2] Conics Configurator: In-Game Conics Settings

[OrbitusII]

Inspired by Tanuki_Chau (yet another KSPTV Streamer who has inspired my plugins), here is the Conics Configurator plugin!

Con² allows you to adjust the CONIC_PATCH_DRAW_MODE setting in-game, so no more editing the save file every time you install KSP to get Patch Mode 0! Just plop this plugin into your GameData folder and load up KSP!

The Conics Configurator window shows up on the main menu in the top-left corner of the screen.

Some Conics Explanations

The Conics system is what draws the orbit for each and every thing that moves (that includes singular parts as well as planets). The different modes draw orbits differently, but they all behave similarly.

Feedback

Please leave feedback on this thread, since it is where I check for it most often.

Note: I will eventually put this on Curse.com, but for now it is only here on the forums.

Looks useful! I've always wanted this. You should really integrate this with the Toolbar plugin.

Mode 2 probably shows the body where it will be upon exiting its SoI (as opposed to Mode 1 showing where it'll be upon entry).

Thanks! I might work on that sometime. I don't want to make it entirely dependent on Toolbar though, so I might make it optional and potentially still contained within a single plugin... man I love being able to program stuff.

That's kinda what I figured. It might have helped to have the number of encounters drawn increased...

Confirmed to work in 0.24.2, submitted to the Community Mods and Plugin Library.

As an aside, PreciseNode has this as a built-in feature as well

I suggest adding a feature to change the number of patches as well. Otherwise I like this because it felt silly downloading the whole PreciseNode plugin to only use the one minor feature.

Ah, good to know. I can work on that over the next day or so.
