Ares in-game map

Description

Now with even bigger 4x2 station / capital ship map

Adds screen blocks (Ares Navigation Screens) that display the planetary map of any of the AaW planets. Only works while you are in planetary gravity.
Check the features below for details.

Big shout-out to Cpt.Arthur and the rest of the AaW community for creating such a wonderful game scenario!

Thank you FireblazerMG for the images of the nicely integrated navigation screen!




Two large grid “Ares Navigation Map” and two small grid “Small Ares Navigation Map” blocks.
  • Shows your heading relative to the block’s orientation by rotating the location indicator (configurable via the block terminal)
  • Shows your current location (marker configurable via the block terminal)
  • Let’s you zoom in and out of the map (keys only work within 15 meters of the block: ‘Home’, ‘End’, ‘Page up’, ‘Page Down’)
  • Build stages and LODs…




  • Block component cost balancing
  • Beautification for both blocks
  • Will add a small grid block
  • Will add the other Ares planets
  • Will add a large grid capital ship / station block (4x2x1)
  • Will add ore detector integration to show the closest location of a specific ore
  • Will add Ares at War event locations
  • Will add an Ares at War galaxy map
  • Vanilla system map if someone provides me with a colorized map

If you want to have this translated into your language, let me know and I will arrange that.

Can you send me your mod list?

When placing the Map, it says "Planet has not been added to the System yet".
Why?

It‘s a planned feature. Currently I use waiting for the next AaW release as an excuse.

Does the map show gps markers?

@RusWolf I just updated the mod. Let me know if the error consists.
@Th3D0C Thank you for the suggestion. It will definitely be added, I'm currently lazy and waiting for the next round of Ares at War updates and will make it one combined update

Great Mod! Thank you for the work done :) May I suggest a feature for consideration ? Adding waypoints to the custom data of the block to be displayed on the map like the player/position of the screen is. That would be really be a great feature imho, hope you can give it a try :)

@Dogbi, I renamed the blocks and adjusted their block pairing. They should be easier to find in the build menu

Where can I find the other large grid (medium size) and small ares maps? There's only one of each rather than the two.

Ahh, yeah once / if I integrate panning / rotation I will keep your advice in mind and add a compass rose!
