Title: An e2 request from Catalyst :D
Post by: Lt.Col.Catalyst[88thMC] on September 04, 2015, 02:45:53 am
So, my original idea for this was to make an e2 for landing ships and such, with stuff, but it didn't go so well. so now what I need is something else.
I would like an e2 that combines a ship core monitor, a targeting system, and ship controls all in one.

Here is a list of requirments:
1. Must have exact same controls as the gyropod ease no mouse e2 attached
2. Add an aimmode control to it, and use the key R to toggle the gyropod aimmode on and off
3. Make a fancy HUD that shows the core health and who your targeting (make sure it fits on a 1680x1050 resolution screen)
4. The Targeting must be capable of targeting grob, cores, and players (use the commands "target [player]" "grobtarget" "coretarget [player]")
5. If you have any other good ideas feel free to talk to me about it

There will be 3 e2's I currently use that can be used as recources for this new e2.
Thankyou for your time
-Catalyst

Hey @razgriz E2 idea changed, sorry if you'd done something on the old idea, landing gear's didn't work out :P

This is what I love to do.
 
Post a sketch of what you would like the HUD to look like.

Its a little crude, but its kinda what I want, not in the colour scheme tho, I want kind of a blue holo-theme.

There's a red crosshair in the middle
in green in the top left area there is a little triangle thing, that hovers over the target (wether it be player, core, or grob)
Bottom left is a map with all the surrounding planets, the ship itself in the center, and smaller dots for players.
Bottom right there is core health and name of target (if its grob just say grob, if its a players core say [playername]'s core)

The map in the bottom left is very CPU intense, since you are technically tracking all of the map elements like you would a single target. 

Are you looking for a view from the back of the ship, or top of the ship? 

What information are you trying to gather from that element?

If I get a chance to squash in the gyropod code this evening, you should have something to test tonight.

Okay, I've got something for you. 
 
Sorry, there are still some bugs to work out at the moment, so I haven't made the code public yet.

I got this pic a grob was destoryed, the ship was turning to target the barely-visible one.  So grobtarget is working too :)

My crosshair (white) and the chip crosshair (red) are not aligned because my res is slightly higher than yours.
