Functional Sector Map mod?

Post by JDCollie »

Is there any mod out there that fixes the deficiencies of the Skunk's sector map? I.E., adds in functionality similar to X3's sector map, such as adjustable zoom, the ability to target ships by clicking on their icon, rather than just the list, etc.

No. It is not possible currently due to the bytecode compiled lua files that define the map and other side monitor functions.

Yes this is true.

Till we don't get any access to the lua sources and proper tools for the UI design files every approach to UI-modding is pointless.

The best workaround we could do would be an external app running vial localhost and the steam browser. Roguey's map works fine there for now :)

Obviously that doesn't change the fact of easily seeing whats going on in your zone...

Has anyone tried to run the LUA bytecode through an LUA Decompiler in an attempt to reconstruct the source code?

...scratch that I see Night Nord is attempting to research this.
