Keep track of all your ships. Displays all your ships telemetry in one screen (or more). Use the visual telemetry screen to have a Radar like visual location of your ships. Instantly identify ships with damage, core problems or 'missing' by color!

Contains New Features and Enhancements to the very popular Telemetry script originally authored by Magistrator https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2508206005.

See the FULL GUIDE at https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2884830645

NOTE: the full guide contains NEW FEATURES not shown below!

How to use?

[olist][*] Subscribe to this script (above) [*]Place a PB (Programming Block) in your ship and load this code (click 'Edit', then 'Browse Scripts' and select Telemetry Plus). NOTE: YOUR SHIP MUST NOT BE CONNECTED TO A BASE WHEN INSTALLING THIS CODE FOR 'DAMAGE' TO WORK PROPERLY! [*] Place a PB in your base and load this code (same process) [*] Go to the Custom Data in the PB of your base and set flag 'collector' under Telemetry to 'true'. [*] Add the TAG [Telemetry] to the Name of a text panel (usually an LCD) in your base (i.e., "LCD [Telemetry]") [*] Every ship telemetry with this PB will show up in the panel provided they are in antenna range. [*] Add the TAG [VTelemetry] to the Name of a text panel or console block (projector table) in your base. [*] Add the TAG [TelemetryAlert] to a text panel/LCD in your base to see only ships broadcasting 'alert' status [*] Be sure to mark Telemetry Plus as a 'Favorite' and give a 'thumbs up'! [/olist]

Colors from DAMAGE, NOT REPORTING and CORE issues will show up automatically - color automatically upgrades when you repair the issue!

Telemetry

[olist][*] Ship name [*] Ship status (if not 'normal') (NEW) [*] Velocity [*] Altitude [*] Battery charge [*] Damage level (if damaged) (NEW) [*] Hydrogen level [*] Oxygen level [*] Cargo Level (NEW) [*] Docked grid [*] GPS location [*] Last update [*] Shield Percentage (Shield Defense MOD) [/olist]

Alerts

  • LCD allows you to set the font size you like for easier reading
  • Automatically scrolls through all Alerts - no need for additional screens
  • GPS data shortened to 4 places to better fit on smaller screens

Settings

Put these in the Custom Data of the Programming Block: [table] [tr][td]collector[/td][td]Set to true to enable this PB as a Telemetry collection node.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]panel_tag[/td][td]Text panels with this [tag] will display the telemetry.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]visual_tag[/td][td]Text panels or Console blocks (projector) with this [tag] will display the visual telemetry.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]alert_panel_tag[/td][td]Text pannels with this [tag] will display the ALERT telemetry.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]subgrid_panels[/td][td]Set to true to enable this PB to write to panels in other subgrids.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]security_key[/td][td]Change to avoid other factions from seeing your telemetry.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]channel[/td][td]Have ships send telemetry in different channels. Then for example, in your base when configuring the text pannel, use [TELEMETRY_2] for only seeing telemetry sent by ships on channel 2.[/td][/tr][/table]

LCDs

See the Settings above and make sure you have an LCD with the [tag] in the Name of the LCD you want to see Telemetry, Alerts or Visual Telemetry. You can also have the Visual Telemetry on a Console block - again, put the [tag] you have set for visual_tag above in the Name of the Console.

Commands

Run these commands as arguments in the Programming Block: 1 select the PB (Programming Block) 2 scroll down to the 'Argument' area and enter the word in the first column - for example, 'scale' (no quotes) 3 click 'Run' [table][tr][td]scale[/td][td]Changes the visual telemetry scale. (each time it is run it changes the scale 20m, 200m, 2km, 20km, 200km {wide LCD scales to 50m, 500m, 5km, 20km, 500km - though top/bottom do not show the full distance})[/td][/tr] [tr][td]save[/td][td]Saves telemetry data to PB Storage.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]clear[/td][td]Clears Telemetry data.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]orbit <altitude>[/td][td]Calculate the exact orbit position above the current location at the given altitude in meters and add the GPS entry to the CustomData. Example: orbit 42000[/td][/tr][/table]

This script replaces the original one no longer updated by Magistrator. All bases and ships will need to be changed to this script to utilize all the features.
