Update Released: Version 0.4.1 and 0.3.1

Download the appropriate version for either 0.12 or 0.13:

Download for 0.13: SatelliteRadar_0.4.1.zip

Download for 0.12: SatelliteRadar_0.3.1.zip

Changes:
  • Updated formula for max scanning range to match the ratio of scanning range to visible range of the vanilla radar. For example, level 17 is now 169x169 scanning range instead of only 63x63 scanning range.

I love this mod! makes the game so much less tedious while also being able to explore farther without actually walking there! (+amazing fast scans)
Thanks!

Not sure if this is due to other mods or timing of satellite launches:
Some radar instances show the expected name "Satellite Radar Level 1 <supporter name>" but many others just use the old name "Radar <supporter>"
Seems to be true of both hand crafted and factory built items and true for radars deployed before and after a satellite launch.

Anything I can do to help debug or otherwise force the placed stations to update?

I haven't seen this before. Would you mind uploading your save file so I can check it out?

Apologies for the delay in following up. Here are links for the ModList and Save

ModList.json
DahnSatRadarDebug.zip

The save game has the player standing next to two satellites. One displays the current status (Level 1) in the name, the second (on the right), does not. The second was placed down just before saving.

What do I need to change in the Config and data if I want to double the base range, but preserve the 1 Sattelite per chunk revealed ratio?

Or, could the config have such values, so you can just change it and the whole thing lines up?

What Dahn said: some radars get upgraded, some don't. I'm at 60 sats now, I suspect all might(!) get upgraded when I reach 72... I cannot recall when (in launched-satellite terms) I placed each radar.

0.14.x with the compatible mod version and after 41 satellite launches, still no change to existing radars for names. Not sure if this is related to the bug previously reported where satellites weren't showing the new rank or a bug with the 0.14 implementation.

I installed Satellite Radar without reading the description, so I didn't realize it wasn't compatible with RSO Radars. Got a momentary surprise when I launched enough rockets to get the first radar upgrade. Obviously my fault for not actually reading everything.

However, I wanted to get things working like I imagined they did before reading the description. So I made a couple changes to Satellite Radar, which are in the attached version.

* I added an optional dependency on RSO Radars to make sure Satellite Radar creates its prototypes after RSO Radars
* I changed 2 locations in radars.lua to use the properties of the basic radar instead of a constant

Code: Select all

-- max_distance_of_sector_revealed = math.floor(29/7.*i+14)
max_distance_of_sector_revealed = math.floor(29/7.*i + data.raw.radar["radar"].max_distance_of_sector_revealed),
-- max_distance_of_nearby_sector_revealed = 3+i,
max_distance_of_nearby_sector_revealed = data.raw.radar["radar"].max_distance_of_nearby_sector_revealed + i,
(I commented out the original lines, so you can compare them in situ)

I didn't take the time to comprehend the math in the two equations Satellite Radar uses to calculate everything, so I don't know if the costs and benefits scale correctly with modified radars. However, if there aren't any changes to the vanilla radar the Satellite Radar will function exactly like it did before.

To add similar support for other mods that change those 2 properties of the vanilla radar all you'll need to do is add an optional dependency on them. You could also use a similar technique to have Satellite Radars base all the properties directly off the base radar instead of you having to copy them into your code. I was tempted to try doing that, but opted for a minimal change (Plus I was feeling lazy).

For anyone searching for a possible fix to use the "Score Extended" mod which adds a new score window and removes the default one, thus breaking the CalculateLevel function in the control.lua file of this mod.
I tried to fix it but it will only give you your level when you have the score window opened.

I only had to change the lines 5, 7 and 8 in the control.lua file from:

Code: Select all

function CalculateLevel(a)
  satellites=0
  if game.players[1].gui.left.rocket_score==nil then
    satellites=0
  elseif tonumber(game.players[1].gui.left.rocket_score.rocket_count.caption)>=0 then
    satellites=tonumber(game.players[1].gui.left.rocket_score.rocket_count.caption)
  end
  satellites=satellites+a
  level=LevelEquation(satellites)
  if level<=0 then
    return 0
  elseif level>=maxlevel then
    return maxlevel
  else
    return level
  end
end
to the following lines

Code: Select all

function CalculateLevel(a)
  satellites=0
  if game.players[1].gui.left.frm_score==nil then
    satellites=0
  elseif tonumber(game.players[1].gui.left.frm_score.flw_score.lbl_score_tot.caption[2])>=0 then
    satellites=tonumber(game.players[1].gui.left.frm_score.flw_score.lbl_score_tot.caption[2])
  end
  satellites=satellites+a  								
  level=LevelEquation(satellites)
  if level<=0 then
    return 0
  elseif level>=maxlevel then
    return maxlevel
  else
    return level
  end
end
I hope this helps someone who has the same problem.

When building a new radar, simply craft and place like usual, and it will be built with the correct level parameters automatically.
Wish that were true, but apparently, as I mentioned half a year ago, it isn't. 37 rockets, all radars have been upgraded... but just placed a new radar (by bot, which *may* be why) and it's the default radar, both by item description when hovering the mouse over it and by radar range as shown on map.

Any chance this can get updated to .16 ?

I tried changing the reference to .15 in the file but it crashes on startup so more will need to be edited to make it work.
