ED Astrometrics: Maps and Visualizations

[Orvidius]

...And "here be dragons/thargoids"?

 

[Straha Yeagar]

OK, I think I have it.

And we have a winner!

 

[marx]

Indeed, the little murderflowers are much better.

 

[Orvidius]

This might be a better compass rose.

That's perfect.

 

[Wendake]

Incredible job ! Kinda mind blowing to see what all the CMDRs have traveled...

 

[Orvidius]

All of the compass roses are updated now. I also added some actual numbers on the rulers too. A bit of an oversight, that I kept forgetting to fix.

I think it would be nice to get a video of the activity in the Cone Sector next month

 

[Orvidius]

Yeah, I'm curious to see how that will look. Of course, the main discovery videos should show something interesting, but a zoomed in view might be cool too. It will depend a lot on how complete the current EDSM data is, which I haven't investigated. I'm sure we can extract something useful and visually interesting.

I think it's on the order of a couple of hundred systems known in Cone? Not a lot at any rate.

It's a bit experimental at the moment, but I have the new journal uploader built into the video-maker now. It uses javascript to scan through your journal files and upload only the events needed, rather than simply sending the files in their entirety. You still select which files, but it pulls out the event entries instead of just uploading the file. There's a link to use the old uploader form too, in case you have problems.

How about something really tricky? A side view video...

Anything specific in mind? I haven't thought of a good case yet.

I want to see my trips up and down from the side view

 

[Orvidius]

Oh, LOL. Huh, I'll have to think about how visualizations of that will fit in.

 

[Alec Turner]

LOL - doh! I've only just spotted your name and realised why you might want this. [haha]

Guess what? The video-maker now has edges (by default, which you can turn off). Here's my current history with the edges turned on:

Ok. This is a whole bunch of awesome!

After the Gnosis got jumped, I had an opportunity to hunt for some screenshots of the new Hydra. It's 4-pointed nature makes for a really good compass rose.

 

[Orvidius]

Just something nifty... The last few seconds of the "decay" version of the exploration history shows everyone traveling to the Gnosis, and slamming into the permit-locked region:
