Holographic Radar

Holographic Radar Mod

Can now display the radar while you are in a cockpit!

Radar and Projector can now be mounted to small ships!

Holo projector display location can now be set and scaled in game.

Now works through pistons and rotors.

This mod will add a radar block and a holographic display block to the game. This mod takes advantage of multithreading for performance reasons.

Please comment and report any issues.

This mod is feature complete.

Works on dedicated servers! Servers do not calculate the radar grid or spawn the holograms, so this mod should not lower server UPS at all.

Features

Gives a 3d holographic readout of the radar result Color codes the result Objects that are hidden behind other objects will not be detected by the radar (Occlusion) Bases hidden inside asteroids or voxels will avoid detection Passive and Active radar options availible. Maximum range of included block is 50km. Two display modes, /holo-display will toggle between them.

How to use

Subscribe and enable for your world. Build the radar block and holographic table on the same grid. Table and Radar must have the same owner to link up. Turning the radar off will turn it into a passive radar, which will display any radar that scans it. Range slider on the bottom adjust the maximum range of the radar. Maximum range of the included radar block is 50,000 meters.

Use with LCD!

Select Radar Display in the scripts list for the LCD, LCD options are at the bottom of the terminal controls (note you have to select the same screen to see its options)

Color code defaults

Purple: Space Engineer OrangeRed: Unowned Grid Red: Enemy Grid Blue: Owned Grid Cyan: Faction Grid Green: Allied Grid Gray: Voxel - Asteroid or Planet, only 1/5th of these display at a time. White/Blue: You Are Here Yellow: Floating Object or Backpack Brown: Meteroids

Color Options

You can now override the default color codes above with your own settings!

Open the chat (Enter) and press F2 to open the Mod Settings menu to change the colors!

Settings will persist between games, colors are also client side - your settings will not be shown to others. I am also looking for people to make color-blind friendly profiles for the next version.

Voxel display rate

This option is included so people can lower the performance impact of this mod (or increase it)

Display 1 for every # voxels.

6 is default

1 is every voxel

Set the number higher if you feel an impact to performance. /holo-vox 0 will set back to default.
