Sun = yellow S
Planet = green P (if purple, planet is a gas giant; hexagon shows presence of Planet Fall landing sites)
Moon = brown M
Your ship = red loop

System Map (Oolite v.1.90) Accessed through F4 screen (ship and system interfaces)

Overview

The System Map is a rotatable 2D map of the local solar system. As well as the components of the system (sun, planets, moons), local astrogatory beacons are also shown: to whit, GalCop stations & most other stations and the Witchpoint Beacon.

Notes on Usage

Oolite v.1.92+

Access the System Map through pressing "s" while on the F7 page (data on "system").

Oolite v.1.90

Access the System Map through the F4 page (ship and system interfaces) - look under the informational entries.

Map Focus

Changing the map focus will change the color of all entities to grey except for the focused entity. The name of the focused entity will be displayed at the top of the screen.

Repeating the focus command will cycle through all entities and then return to "None", when no entities are the focus. Resetting the view will also reset the focus.

Svengali's Starmap Demo OXP

Starmap Demo OXP This OXP (and the more recent versions of Library required to run it) may conflict with Svengali's original Starmap Demo OXP (see the Library OXP wiki page) - this has happened on at least one older AppleMac running Oolite v.1.90. His OXP also works in-flight and shows moving ships for mission settings.

3rd Party access

It is possible for other OXPs to add extra points of interest to the map. To do so, use the following code:

var sm = worldScripts.SystemMap;
 
 // if you have an ship/station entity you want to show
 sm.$addCustomMarker({
   ent: myCustomShip,
   map: "markerimage.png",
   col: 1
 });
 
 // if you just want to mark a position
 var myPos = Vector3D(0.0, 0.0, 0.5).fromCoordinateSystem("wpu")
 sm.$addCustomMarker({
   pos: myPos,
   map: "markerimage.png",
   col: 2
 });

When using the "ent" (entity) option, and this item becomes the map focus, the text displayed for it will follow the following logic:

If a "displayName" property has been included in the definition for the marker, that will be used.

If the entity has a displayName, that will be used.

Otherwise, the entity name will be used.

When using the "pos" (position) option, and this item becomes the map focus, the text displayed for it will follow the following logic:

if a "displayName" property has been included in the definition for the marker, that will be used.

The text "Point of interest" will be used.

When included, the "map" should be an image in the Textures folder, 128x128 in size. Included with the System Map OXP are:

map_planet.png

map_planet_1-9.png

map_planet_pf1-9.png

map_moon.png

map_moon_pf.png

map_point.png

map_question.png

map_station.png

Some others can be found in the Library OXP.

If "map" is not included, it will default to "map_station.png".

When included, the "col" should be a number between 0-12

0 or not included: white

1: red

2: green

3: blue

4: purple

5: gray

6: aqua

7: amber

8: gold

9: UV

10: brown

11: dark gray

12: yellow
