You should be able to just add them, then reference them via path in your contract (eg. icon = MyMod/icons/SomeWaypointIcon)

Good stuff.  I'll run some tests this weekend and update the version files.

So I would just add: 

	SCENARIO
	{
		name = ScenarioCustomWaypoints
		scene = 7, 8
		WAYPOINT
		{
			name = m_001_target_01
			celestialName = Kerbin
			latitude = -0.097202801731816196
			longitude = -74.407672319304297
			navigationId = ae4ef747-e2a0-4bc8-80ae-eab83dbb97bb
			icon = custom
			altitude = 2.6645352591003757E-14
			index = 1
			seed = 569
		}
	}

inside one of my missions in my contract pack?:

    // Text for the contract parameter.

}	

	

}

So would that spawn the waypoint when accepting the mission? Is there a way to cull the waypoint on completion?

I see the waypoints I have made in game in my save file so I wasn't sure how to get them to populate for others when they use my contract pack.

You would generate the waypoint using WaypointGenerator (example from Anomaly Surveyor here).  You would then use the VisitWaypoint parameter with hideOnCompletion=true to hide the waypoint on completion of the parameter.

Is the ability to see waypoints in flight view based on some sort of level?

I was wondering the same thing, I just started a new game and I'm not getting any of my waypoints in flight to track. They are the starter missions just off the coast and I have basic airplane tech. I don't remember waypoint manager being like this as i used to fly halfway across kerbin with slow jets. 

Thanks in advance

There's some settings.  By default it'll show waypoints that are either set as active or close (and I forget the distance tolerance offhand).

Thank you for this mod.  A Munar Survey mission was driving me nuts as I had to keep turning the craft upside down to see the "boots" marker for where I was supposed to land and then guess where to land on final approach.  I guess I should be happy I managed to land within 500 meters of the zone.  But this Mod. This Mod made it all OK again.  I now have a visual marker to eyeball the approach!

Loving it pal, playing solely in IVA is there a way or a small edit I could make that might make the angle to target appear at the top of the screen while in IVA Probe control room. 

Or failing that, have the angle appear with the name/ lon / lan details in the pop up window.

 

Cheers

I might be doing something wrong, but I'm not seeing any waypoints from contracts at all, and the Waypoint Manager window is empty as well. Only custom ones that I create myself show up.

Log: https://www.dropbox.com/s/cgysg9a20jdxzug/KSP.log?dl=0

Edit: ok looks like it's only some contracts? Specifically Field Research doesn't show any waypoints of those I've tried (Where you collect science around KSC).

Why noone ever tried to land a rocket at a waypoint? It's impossible, because when you set the navigataion you only get the vector point and the waypoint, and not the "anti-vector". So, when you are landing, and your rocket is facing up to the sky, you can't see the waypoint under you. Yeah it's cool that you can see it in flight mode, but having the reverse waypoint on the navball would be very helpfull for precise rocket landing. (I also think it's a easy thing to add, but i may be wrong)

Mount the probe core upside down. :wink:

Hi

Could it be possible to hide/show the waypoints on the surface by pressing a key or clicking on the mod icon? (left or right click ). Sometimes it's difficult to select the rover between the contract waypoints.

I'm having a problem with waypoints being sent to Trajectories and Mechjeb (let me know if I should ask about it there). Entering the waypoint into Trajectories manually works fine, but hitting "active waypoint" provides a very far off location (~300km, other side of the Mun when I tried it)

Hey there

I'm not getting an icon for Waypoint Manager. I have the toolbar mod installed, but it doesn't display an icon when set to do so. It also doesn't display a KSP launcher button regardless of the enabled/disabled state in the toolbar settings. I've also tried deleting the WaypointManager.cfg file and the toolbar-settings.dat file before starting the game with no results.

Here is my output_log.txt, though LinuxGuruGamer says it might not be complete (reason unknown at this stage). I'm also having a possible problem with the toolbar mod itself, though that may just be stupidity on my part, or it could be a related issue. If there's no thoughts regarding this, I'll get a clean install going and do some bug hunting.

Thanks

Waypoint manager is causing substantial framerate loss when it's window is open.  Is it still using the old Legacy UI or something?  If not is it set to update every frame, as it should be set to update on a timer instead (5 times a second should be sufficient).  There are also a handful of other ways UI can be adjusted to reduce load.  You can look into those.

I just came up against a small bug in the UI.

I was trying to import some custom waypoitns.  So, I copied the file (https://github.com/jrossignol/WaypointManager/blob/master/CustomWaypoints/CustomWaypoints.LandingSites.cfg) to:

GameData/WaypointManager/PluginData/CustomWaypoints.cfg

I put a plane on the runway first

Then, I opened the WaypointManager ui via the button, clicked the gear to get the settings and then clicked Import Custom Waypoints

It seemed to work, but no waypoints showed up.  So, to test, i deleted the file and tried to import again, and got an error saying:
 

Quote

 

Couldn't load customer waypoint file

R:/K_1.3.1/KSP_s64_Data/../\GameData\WaypointManager\PluginData\CustomWaypoints.cfg!

 

I couldn't help but notice the /\  while I don't think it's the cause, it does look kind of odd

But, I don't see any waypoints.  It's quite possible I missed a step, but have no idea what.

edit:  Clicking "Import" gives the following exception: 

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
  at WaypointManager.CustomWaypoints.Import () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 
  at WaypointManager.WaypointManager.SettingsGUI (Int32 windowID) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 
  at UnityEngine.GUILayout+LayoutedWindow.DoWindow (Int32 windowID) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 
  at UnityEngine.GUI.CallWindowDelegate (UnityEngine.WindowFunction func, Int32 id, UnityEngine.GUISkin _skin, Int32 forceRect, Single width, Single height, UnityEngine.GUIStyle style) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0

 

Ok, the bug seems to be that if there aren't any waypoints, it gets a nullref.  I added a single waypoint, and then the import worked properly
