SCANsat[v8.0]

Resource Scanning:

• Planetary resource overlay for big map

  • Resource types controlled through the SCANsat settings menu
  • Resources scanner types defined through included config file
  • Support for Modular Kolonization System and Karbonite are provided in their respective packages
• Note that Kethane integration is not currently working; this will be addressed in a later update
• ORSX resources
  • Resources displayed on the big map
  • Overlay colors can be defined in the included resource scanner config file

Parts:

• MapTraq deprecated
  • Part still exists but is not available in the VAB/SPH
  • Part functionality is completely removed
  • Module Manager configs for adding the MapTraq SCANsat module should be removed (having the module shouldn't hurt though)

  • Displayed in the right-click context menu
• Improved Multi-Spectral scanner
  • Improved clickability
  • More efficient model; 60% reduction in triangle count
• Rescaled the BTDT to be much smaller
• Part cost balancing

BackEnd Changes:

• Background scanning will function in every scene where time passes
  • Flight, Map, Tracking Station and Space Center
  • Can be turned off from the SCANsat settings menu
• SCANsat parts not required for background scanning during flight
• SCANsat parts not required for toolbar icons and functional maps
  • Maps and menus don't work outside of the flight/map scenes
• Persistent scanning data storage has been altered
  • Requires a one-time, automatic conversion from the old to the new method
  • There have been no complaints as of yet, but users upgrading from SCANsat v6.x may want to make backups of any existing save files
• .Version file included for use with KSP-AVC addon (not included)
• ModStatistics removed

Bug Fixes:

• Science can be gathered from all planets
  • Reduced science return for planets without terrain/biomes
• Active scanners no longer play through their animation on startup; they start fully deployed
• Toolbar icons fallback to place holder textures if the default SCANsat icons are moved/altered/deleted
• Prevent small map from opening improperly in non-toolbar version

SCANsat[v7.0] release candidate 2.1

This adds support for both ORS and Kethane type resource overlays.

This release alters how data is stored in the persistent file. So it is a good idea to make a backup if you are upgrading from a previous version (any resource scanning data from previous releases will not be recovered).

Resource overlay selection is controlled through the settings menu.

Module Manager configs are included with SCANsat definitions for their respective resource types.

SCANsatRPM is also included and should be functional.

The following resources are supported:

• Open Resource System resources, including:
  • Interstellar
    • Uranium
    • Thorium
    • Alumina
  • Modular Kolonization System
    • Water
    • Ore
    • Substrate
    • Minerals
  • Kass Effect
    • KEEZO
• Kethane resources:
  • Ore
  • Kethane
