BamBam Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I figured out how to get white gridlines: use the command \'gridw##\' instead of \'grid##\'.fantastic!now i can use the map even in its current rough form to get an idea of where to land.if i could leave it scanning and not have a crash it would be better....how to coordinates line up on this map?its 180 on one end and -180 on the other and the center is 0 degrees longitudeand the top is 90 and the bottom is -90 and the center is 0 degrees latitudeis that correct?

scratch Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Can it also collect data when flying different craft (with time warp of 10X or lower)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kreuzung Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Maybe if in 2.5km range, maybe not. More than 2.5 is almost impossible without CPU/frate pwn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SasquatchM Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I am getting a lot of messed up data, basically the coordinates are way off. I am attaching my csv as a zip if you are interested in the results.. This was taken over about 12 hours at 10X time accel at 70km. I realize the time acceleration can be what is causing this, but thought you may be interested.Anyone know who to have a lat / long grid display with quickgrid?

Because of out of bounds data that can occur in the .csv, innsewerants\' mapgen is the only software guarenteed to display correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in alpine valleys with no outlet, there is no standing water at higher elevations.2. The scanning beam does not record any ocean floor detail.#1 Is a design problem for the Squad development team to deal with should they chose to modify the map of Kerbin for final release, but I wonder if #2 could be handled with an adjustment to this plugin.

The lowest Kerbin altitude I\'ve got is about -900 meters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmiteZero Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 It certainly does seem to gather undersea data. There is just nothing underwater except a mostly flat bottom.Excuse the horrible, horrible colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SasquatchM Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Yes, I set the color code to display anything less than 0 meters to show up as 0 meters and blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamBam Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 i am having trouble getting quickgrid to generate the topo map.can somebody post up some details.when i change the entries under 'grid line coordinates' i get an error about a interpreting floating point numberis there an easier way to do this?

Panichio Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Wow, I really have missed a lot of cool stuff recently! Also, would it be possible to make this plugin help to make maps out of lots of individual pictures of Kerbin so you can have elevation maps and maps that show all the beautiful colours of Kerbin?

SasquatchM Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 So, as an experiment, I attached a mapping module to a quad rotor helicopter and tooled around the KSP just to see how accurate the mapper could be. I flew at an average of 250 meters at 50m/s for about 20 minutes and this is what I got with a bit of extrapolation as displayed as a 3d quickgrid image.

LaydeeDem Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I have a question. Is it possible to use multiple satellites? Can I have one mapping the mun, and another mapping kerbin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kreuzung Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Yes, but not at the same time, they only collect while active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
togfox Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 BamBam, your file is fine to me. You have numbers over 180 so you can edit the CSV with notepad (or Excel) or you can edit grid lines like you said so start and end are correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
togfox Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 You guys are doing awesome work mapping every cellestial body known to man (anyone mapped the asteroid yet?) but the theoretical has its best value when made practical.This is a simple exercise but no one has done it yet so here we go.Image 1: A crater on the Mun. My ship has landed top right corner.Image 2: The contour map of the Mun and my landing zone marked as a purple splotch near the equator.Notice the uncanny resemblance between the big roundish crater in the screenshot and the big roundish circle in the topography map? You\'ll also notice the screenshot of the Mun has a dimple left of centre? My map has the same dimple left of centre.Now that I have a reference point (crater with dimple), I can now plot all my landing sites well before launch. Cool huh. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicRocketBooster Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I\'ve been running it whenever I leave the room for more than an hour. Here\'s another 21 mb of data.http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34703559/isa_RAM_Mun_Data%20-%20Copy.csv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noneyabidnis Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Another practical exercise would be to put in Latitude and Longitude lines. If that could be done, I might stand a chance at finding a Munolith sometime in the next decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
togfox Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 The actual mapping program has lat/long visible when you mouse over points. If you\'re looking for a specific lat/long then I can highlight this on my map for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
