kiwiak Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Seems usefull, nice work on using markers system introduced by squad in that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helaeon Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 This is excellent. Thank you.While doing a survey on the Mun I noticed that the distance to the waypoint didn't take into account terrain altitude vs above sea level altitude. So even though the marker showed on the ground at my kerbal's feet it said I was about 5km away (Which happened to be my altitude ASL).Not a huge deal. Having the marker there is a game changer.

DomDiaemus Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Nice and useful mode Thanks. But just a small suggestion... is there a way of hiding them when all the windows get hidden to do a print-screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Download it now!Changes:- Hide waypoints when the GUI is hidden (thanks DomDiaemus).- Take terrain height into account for distance calculations (thanks helaeon).

Seawolf Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) Done and done.Glorious. Thanks.If you can also add the ability to "Activate Navigation" without switching to map view, that would be fantastic.

Superfluous J Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Glorious.

Also, "Deactivate Navigation" would be nice as well.It should be possible. The only thing that's a pain is that I'm pretty sure the GUI code is hidden away where I can't call it externally. Which means I need to make my own dialog for it. Not that it's terribly hard - just not as easy as it should be. Anyway, I'll see if I can get these items in the next couple days.

Spheniscine Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Glorious. Thanks.If you can also add the ability to "Activate Navigation" without switching to map view, that would be fantastic.Actually I'm not exactly sure how useful it'll be. I notice that while on the ground, apparent distance to a waypoint can be very deceptive due to the terrain layout, such that without the map, I can't be sure I am picking the closest waypoint.

BudgetHedgehog Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 To be honest, you're going to have to visit all waypoints anyway, it doesn't matter if you go to the furthest one first or the nearest one first.. count me in for being able activate navigation. With them visible in flight along with distance, it's just a lot more convenient than having to switch to map view to do the one remaining thing.

I notice that while on the ground, apparent distance to a waypoint can be very deceptive due to the terrain layout, such that without the map, I can't be sure I am picking the closest waypoint.Actually, I just had a thought - I could just add hot keys to cycle through the waypoints (maybe [ and ] if they're unbound). It could sort then into distance order and start at the closest. Leaving a spot in the list for deactivated means you can also deactivate.Does that seem like a more useful option?

BudgetHedgehog Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I don't really mind how it's done, just that it's possible from in flight. I keep clicking on them to set navigation and then going 'oh yeah.. map view'.. whichever way you decide upon (if at all) will be fine with me.

Spheniscine Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) Oh just thought of another possible feature: have the icon within the point blink when you're close enough for it to count, just like it already does on the navball. (I always worry that I had missed the entry message, and oftentimes the icon on the navball is obscured by the prograde icon and the level indicator...)I think [ and ] are already bound to next/last vessel by default - and I reassign all my keys anyway so I'd prefer for any keystrokes to be configurable (even if via a text file).

Superfluous J Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Doesn't *need* a gui even. Double click to set the waypoint. Double click a set waypoint to unset it.Though some indication of which waypoint is the selected one (perhaps the "distance to" text could float just under it instead of always at the top of the screen?)Not sold on this idea, just spitballing.

I think I have some ideas now, let me think on it for a bit and see what I decide for the next version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 (edited) Nice and useful. On stock I have bored with running around to find the right place for those "Take EVA report at area..." contracts on the very first attempt but now it's gone.Would be nice to have a GUI button to disable visible markers. It's not convenient to go to the map view and disable navigation each time. Also markers should not be visible while EVA to make it alittle more realistic and reduce the sense of fund grinding by still requiring some effort to find them on the ground.Anyway, I can always put my hands in your code to make it better for me exclusively.EDIT: by the way, disabling navigation DOESN'T hide waypoints. So a quick way to hide them is required very much.EDIT2: that issue might be caused by loading the save where navigation was already on.

I have a guess at what the problem is, and if I'm right reloading the game after disabling navigation would be the workaround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mytrenet Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 maybe im doing something wrong, just installed this mod, put the folder in my gamedata folder, buuut i dont see the waypoints on my screen :C i can set navigation to it to see it on my navball but i dont see anything on the screen .also is there a way to manually set your own waypoint?

Confirm you have InFlightWaypoints/InFlightWaypoints.dll under your GameData directory. If that looks right then I'll need to see the KSP.log file to investigate further. Oh and confirm you have the latest version... Older ones didn't treat the active waypoint special, so you have to get within 50 km or so to see them.

nightingale Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 In-Flight Waypoints 1.2.0 is out! Download it now!Changes:- Correctly detect deactivating navigation.- Allow activating/deactivating navigation by clicking on a waypoint (just like in the map view).Wasn't able to get the flashing bit for this release.... maybe next.
