Titler Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Thank you all for the answers; I'll try some Munar landings to see if I've got the translations down for now, but those future features sound lovely for my old-man-maths-bad head! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDIR Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I love the mod, but I keep running into the problem that I usually can't stop the mapping system, which causes a lot of lag on take off. Can anybody help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innsewerants Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 I love the mod, but I keep running into the problem that I usually can't stop the mapping system, which causes a lot of lag on take off. Can anybody help?It's possible my exclusion of some scanning functions when scanning is turned of is faulty in 3.3.4, I'm not entirely sure as I haven't worked on 3.x code in ages after deciding to switch to a new source for the next version, if so, my apologies I'm trying not to get distracted fixing the old version instead of finishing the next one.The anomaly scanning has been rewritten in my dev version and this bug doesn't apply any more in that.

Moleculor Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Bottom left of the launchpad screen, you'll see a button with a drafting compass on it. Click that, then click the button on the panel that appears next marked "Map Drawing - On". That will toggle it off.What button? I don't see a button.

daver4470 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 What button? I don't see a button.It looks like you have the GPS unit, and not the MapSat mapper dish, installed. The button only shows up with the dish.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daver4470 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Hey ISW -- I know it's probably low priority compared to redoing the underlying code... but is there any way you could come up with some new mapping dishes? The current one is pretty cool -- the tracking animation especially -- but it's awfully large and difficult to mount on a probe. Maybe some smaller dishes? Or maybe having the mapping ability be a module that can be added to any given part?Glad to hear you're messing around with MapSat again, by the way!

zgrillo2004 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I second daver4470's request. couldn't you make a dish for probes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGGundamReviews Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I second daver4470's request. couldn't you make a dish for probes?The current dish fits fine on the stock probe bodies. I use the Stayputnik probe body and can fit the ISA dish and the kethane detector on them just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Read have Read Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 The current dish fits....sorta, the collision box is way behind it and takes up lots of space to not clip with things on packed probes. It is the hardest to place probe item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick2 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) You need to open up your hilo.dat and add the line Eeloo;-500;3500 to the end. I use Notepad++ since I think notepad screws up the carriage returns.Thanks for that Unistrut. I have had a similar issue with mapsat mapping Eeloo as completly white and the altitudes listed as 0 and 0. Checking the Hilo.dat in Wordpad there was no entry for Eeloo so I have made the change you sugested.I am running KSP V 0.19.1.54 and mapsat V 3.3.4. I had ended the flight of the satellite that was mapping Eeloo, I will send another and see if the change has had any affectI can confirm that this worked for me. I did delete the false map files before remaping, I dont know what would happen if I left them but it seemed logical to remove them first. Thanks for all the advice Edited May 10, 2013 by Mick2 edited for completeness ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebuchadnezzar Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 you might have to browse to the plugin data folder and delete the existing Eeloo map with the white on it. That way when you start mapping again it will generate an entirely new map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j-tk Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Hey, your KSP link isn't working for me, having to use mirror. IE9, win 7 64bit.Love the mod!Lost all my old maps in a raid 0 crash, time to start again lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valexi Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) What does it look like? I installed this and can't find it from the parts I installed this plugin, but I can't find the parts from list. What does they look like and where can I find them? There were nothing in Science section... Edited May 10, 2013 by Navy4422 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emeegeemee Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Look in aerodynamics it looks like a satellite dish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castun Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 My buddy just tried to install the mod. He modified the category so it shows up in Science tab now, but he doesn't have the compass button even with the dish and only the dish installed. Any thoughts? Funny how the game can see the part in the VAB and when in flight, but doesn't have any functionality without that button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how the game can see the part in the VAB and when in flight, but doesn't have any functionality without that button.Possibly the mod is not completly installed correctly.It sounds like he has the parts in the correct game directory (and knows how to edit them so they show up in a different place ingame).To me is sounds like he is missing the ISA_mapsat.dll file. The .dll file should be placed in the "game directory/Plugins" folder. ie: game directory/Plugins/IsaMapsat.dllThere should also be a directory for the data collected (plugindata). The "PluginData" folder should be placed in the "game directory/Plugindata/ folder. ie: game directory/Plugindata/IsaMapsat/hilo.dat (and mapgen files)I think if the mapsat button is missing from your flights then its the dll file thats missing.I think if your maps are being created as all white then its the hilo file thats missing.I could be wrong but that's what I'de try .. if it makes sense.

Deep silence Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I have noticed that the scanner still works when there is no power left in batteries. Would it be possible to fix that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emeegeemee Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Is this the map your after ?exactly what I wanted thank you muchI have noticed that the scanner still works when there is no power left in batteries. Would it be possible to fix that?Well this mod was started before the resources were available and wasn't written to support them but Innsewerants has said people have requested it so he'll look into it.

artao Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I want to simply make sure I'm not doing something wrong here.So is it correct that this only does mapping while I have the ship equipped with the mapping dish active?If so, what are the possibilities of changing this. I sure would like to be doing other stuff, like building and launching other ships, while my satellites continue mapping whatever body they're orbiting. Having to sit there and watch the satellite do it's mapping is pretty tedious.Still, very cool add-on, and thanks! =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGGundamReviews Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) Well I don't think the game as currently designed would allow that. Anything further away than 2.5k unloads the ships model and puts it on rails. Edited May 13, 2013 by HGGundamReviews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
