[MOD] Sector Overview - continued - 0.21.x

[Rinart73]

Starting from game version 0.23 mod is moved to the Steam Workshop.

 

This mod was originally developed by shulrak. I really like it so I decided to continue his work.

 

GitHub

 

Needs to be installed on both client and server.

Works on 0.21.x+.

 

This mod adds a button in the top right corner that opens a window where you can find tabs with all stations and gates in sector. By clicking station/gate name you will target it.

The third tab allows to add players in the 'tracking list'. Every time you'll reopen the window, mod will refresh player coordinates. Then you can select a player name and click 'Show on Galaxy Map' to center your map on their sector.

 

Installation

1. Optionally install i18n - Internationalization if you want to use this mod in your language.

 

2. Unpack the mod archive in your Avorion folder, not in a "data" folder.

 

3. Open "data/scripts/entity/init.lua" and add the following code to the bottom of the file:

if not entity.aiOwned and (entity.isShip or entity.isStation or entity.isDrone) then entity:addScriptOnce("mods/SectorOverview/scripts/entity/sectoroverview.lua") end -- MOD: SectorOverview

 

4. (Version 0.5+) Open "data/scripts/player/init.lua" and add the following code to the bottom of the file:

Player():addScriptOnce("mods/ClientData/scripts/player/client/clientdata.lua") --MOD: ClientData

 

 

Uninstallation

It is safe to uninstall, this mod can't corrupt your galaxy. Just remove the line you added during installation and folder "SectorOverview" folder from "mods".

 

Configuration

 

Config file is located in the "mods/SectorOverview/config" folder.

Client settings:

• WindowWidth (number) - controls UI window width.
  
• WindowHeight (number) - controls UI window height.
  

Server settings:

• AllowPlayerCoordinates (true/false) - if this setting is false, server will not reveal player coordinates and the Players List tab on client side will be hidden.
