In-Development Srv Survey

[grinning2001]

An independent tool that provides on-screen assistance when a player is near a planet in the SRV, on foot or in ships. It has 3 main functions:

• Organic scans: Track the location of organic scans and the distance required for the next scan.
• Ground target tracking: Aiming guidance towards latitude/longitude co-ordinates.
• Guardian sites: Track visited areas and the locations of items within Guardian ruins and structures.
• Ram Tah Helpers: Helps with the both Ram Tah missions by showing which logs are available at a site, which obelisks contains logs and which items are needed to scan each obelisk.

This is super promising. Just tested it out and love it so far. Have you thought about uploading a compiled release, for those who don't know how to get around Visual Studio?

Ground target tracking / finding coordinates is super useful, thanks!

Yup - this tool is now available as signed/blessed app via the Microsoft App: https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9NGT6RRH6B7N

The guardian overlay looks cool also!

I'm deep out in the black and just read about this mod... Tried it yesterday, and love it! Thank you. Now I'm wondering why FD don't build stuff like this into ED themselves?

Very cool tool. Is there any chance we could be able to copy and paste the System names in the Guardian Beacons and Structures list at some stage?

I just completed another Exobiology trip using this app. It is super useful and having the HUD to determine distances was a great time saver, especially across the 500m + distance threshold. I was using the Github version but I have found the version from the App store a lot more stable. Thanks for all the work, I use it all the time now.

Love this but after the most recent update, it keeps saying importing data I have quite a few logs and it never seems to finish. Played for 90m and it’s still stuck it seems importing

@Greybeard Seawolf - this is now possible with the latest release.

@booktrunk - if this is still giving you grief, please DM me and I will help get this solved. You can also open a new bug through GitHub https://github.com/njthomson/SrvSurvey/issues, or reach out to me (Grinning2001) on Discord.

I have one small problem with the app - when it's working in the background and I have system map open, almost every time I try to close the system map by clicking on the appropriate "back" button, if I'm not extremely careful I end up touching one of the overlays in the left down corner (it seems to be overlapping with that button a bit) and it sends the cursor to the center of the display. Can be quite frustrating.
Edit: I just realised that there's "prevent mouse entering overlay windows" option I can uncheck and it solves my problem. Somehow I missed that.

I had this issue, so i just reinstalled and that helped.

Moving that bottom left overlay right a bit could help... But it can get big on large systems.

@grinning2001 how about it being right-aligned? I don't recall any gui elements in that corner?

[booktrunk]

Yeah uninstalled and rebooted then reinstalled via the Microsoft store version and that worked. Thsnks for your reply

It is possible to relocate each overlay to a new position, see details at: https://github.com/njthomson/SrvSurvey/wiki/Custom-overlay-positioning

There's also a setting to hide that particular overlay, but I'm glad the other setting did the trick.

Can someone please explain to me as if I am 5 years old, how to create a screenshot of the Guardian site. I go there, it navigates me the bearing, instruct me to go to 650m and then what?
