Telescope

Download it from here.

Quick start as Hunter

Copy the .oxp folder to the AddOns directory, hold down the Shift when start the game first time after copy.
Buy Telescope with Extender equipment or load the included savegame "Telescope demo.oolite-save". Witch Fuel Injectors, ECM, Fuel Scoops, Military Laser and Scanner Targeting Enhancement are used also in this guide.
Undock (F1) to se the magnified target in top center position.
If you bought Gravity Scanner then stop near the station, turn off your weapons with underscore (_) and wait for the scan results.
Turn your ship where you see lollipops at the edge of your IFF scanner. The Panorama targeting will countinually change the box to the most centered target.
Choose your enemy for the strength of your ship: start with a small ship flying alone.
Use Injectors (i) to fly into scanner range where you can see a Red ball which means visible ship with bounty. Do not hunt Yellow traders and Purple police ships if you want to remain in clean status.
Use Ctrl+arrow keys to put the target into the middle of the crosshairs to turn on the sniper ring which magnify the difference from the correct line-up.
Turn on your weapons (_) and fire (a). You can try to hit with Military laser over normal scanner range but within 30km and a stopped target will turn when successful, but if your target is too small then fly inside 25.6km where the red target box indicate the correct line-up.
Press ident (r) to lock the most centered target if there are more, next press start auto steering or lock another if more centered than the current target.
Telescope can be primed (Shift+N) then activate (n) will lock the nearest target, mode (b) change the function of the activate key.
If a missile is coming then a Cyan ball warn you: start ECM (e), target it (t) and try to avoid (i) or shoot it (a).
If you win and pilot is ejected then shot down the derelict ship to get the bounty, then fly after the small White balls and scoop the Escape Pod, metal fragments and cargo pods.
Fly back to the station and dock to get the reward for the pilot and sell cargo (F8). Congratulations, you are richer. :)

Telescope Equipment

This OXP realize some of the requests for an extended scanner described in this topic.

Can determine the direction, distance, orientation and legal status of all visible ships. The detection range is equal with the scanner range if you use it without Telescope Extender (still or willfully), but you can use the following features:

Visual targeting

The virtual model of the target ship is displayed and a console message show the name, range and direction. The direction marked by <^ or v> symbols to read faster than the Port Up or Down Starboard words. The ranges and directions calculated continually to help turn in line and see the decreasing range while travel to the target. The orientation of the model is equal with the target if you centered it and you can spin the model if turn around your ship. You can set the size of the model with the $TelescopeVSize variable in the Scripts/telescope.js.

Lightballs

Far targets get coloured lightball markers in the view and lollipops with darker colours near the edge of the scanner.

Red: Hostile ship with bounty (pirates and thargoids),
Pink: Tharglet until active and Drones with bounty in HardShips OXP,
Yellow: Neutral ship with clean status (traders and co),
Purple: Police,
Cyan: Missile or Mine,
Green: Buoy, Planet or Station,
Blue: Derelict (Wormhole also from Oolite v1.79),
White: Cargo or Escape Pod,
Gray: last known position of a lost target (moved out of the telescope range),
Orange: Gravity Scanner (see below) detected ship too far to be visible,
Brown: Gravity Scanner detected ship under 130t mass (less dangerous, especially with ShipVersion OXP).

Beacons identified in the whole system due to the transmitted radio broadcasts. If a ship transmits beaconcode then detected anywhere but colored as a ship and turn to orange if too far to be visible.

The current target is marked with a gray "shadow" lollipop at the edge of the IFF scanner also to help determine the direction, especially at close range to avoid the scanner zooming.

If the target is closer than 1000m then the lightball will be removed due to ships almost cover the ball and cargoes is enough large to detect with your eyes, but the shadow lollipop still remain. You can set the minimum distance with the $TelescopeVMarkMinDist variable in the Scripts/telescope.js.

Targets within the range of the Military Laser (30km) marked with a larger ball and normal (not darker) colored lollipop. You can use this feature to determine where you can open fire exactly if the target is enough large to be chance to hit.

You can disable the lighballs of the ships with set $TelescopeLightBalls to false, but non-ships with Blue, Cyan, Gray, Green and White colours will be remain to help find these. Auto targeting functions still can lock far targets, seems to be an empty box but the ship are in.

You can restrict lighballs in Red Alert into 10-30km if set $TelescopeRedAlertLimiter to true to save a few CPU time but it is worth it on slow computers only.

Sniper ring

If you almost lined up with your target who is between 10 and 30km then a ring will appear. The move of this ring magnify the variance of the correct line-up to help fine aim. You can hit if the target box of the Scanner Targeting Enhancement switch to red.

Snipers can use the distances between 25.6 and 30km to fire before the enemy can see the attacker on the scanner. It was possible without Telescope also, but the size of the ball give another help to know when run the target out of the range and the ring can help to hit without red box which is working in the normal scanner range only.

If you think this is a cheat then fire only when the target can see you also or set the $TelescopeSniperRange variable to 25600 which will shorten the appear of the ring and the largest ball (but no way to shorten the range of the Military Laser).

Auto steering

With primed Telescope (Shift+N) the activate button ("n") can steer to the nearest lightball-marked target which is useful to pick up cargo from the near field which need scanner zooming to find them. Now you can press activate instead of zoom, locate, turn and unzoom.

Auto-steering start if your ship fly in line (not turning) only and stop instantly if you touch the controls. Will stop before correct line-up so will not aim instead of you.

In Red Alert the activate button steer to the nearest attacker. You can disable this by turning off the weapons, in this case you can lock and steer to any nearest target regardless from the alert condition.

Auto scanning

Telescope check new targets in every second and perform autoscan if found one: simple light sensors can see new dots in the whole sky without energy usage but must zoom with the main scope to determine the ship type which need 2 energy points. The autoscan can be turned off if the $TelescopeAutoScan set to false in the telescope.js but usually worth the cost to get new informations sooner.

Far target locking

You can lock far targets also which is not in the normal scanner (beacons are lockable from 1000km without Extender also). The distance showed before the name of the ship with Scanner Targeting Enhancement due to the the second line show the range of the virtual marker only (which is always near the edge of the IFF Scanner). Must to use this workaround because the core game do not allow to lock targets out of the normal scanner so the locked marker seems to be the lock of the target (can fix in the core only).

If you can not see a ship then the ship maybe destroyed, jumped, flyed farther than the visible range or has Military Scanner Jammer and you has not Jammer Filter so can not get target lock.

When fly too far and lost the target then the telescope rename it to Lost target until next scan.

Masslock borders

In green alert you will see colored circles around detected targets where these can block your Torus Drive. Without Telescope Extender show around planets and stations only, but if you buy it to allow visual detection of ships what you can see with your eyes also (escort ships at 2x, traders at about 4x scanner range) then you will get circles around all ships before you.

Until you evade these circles you will stay in green. To get the shortest route you can safely go forward near the largest circle without touching or go inside. You can imagine this is the border of a sphere so if you fly direct to the center then you will be masslocked sooner than if you target any point of the circle line. If you target just a little outside than the circle then you will fly forward as near as possible without masslock.

Also a good indicator of the distance of ships due to the radius of the circles represent exactly one scanner range at distance of the ship in center position. Planets has double sized rings than its radius due to can masslock you in this range. Sun has large masslock field also but this is not displayed by rings - less important and mainly disturbing only.

You can turn on masslock borders in non-green alerts also if you turn off your weapons.

You can turn off all circles completely with primed Telescope within the Lightballs menu (see below).

Keypress functions

The ident button ("r") got a new feature from Telescope: can lock the most centered target even if not in the screen.

Next press will start auto steering to the target if the most centered target is the same else lock the new target, third ident press will unlock it.

In Red Alert will not narrow the locking to the attackers to can lock any target.

Works only if was a locked target before due to triggered by the shipTargetLost event and sometimes if no target then not called. Press "r" again or get something into the crosshair or use equipment buttons to lock a target.

If you turn off the weapons with the underscore button ("_") then a scan happen and you enter to the "Navigation Mode" where autolock help to see through targets (named to Panorama targeting): continually relock to the most centered target.

This button is choosed to avoid unwanted fire if you have turrets.

In Red Alert you can lock any target and see far targets if turn this mode on.

Ident button presses can turn Panorama targeting off and on again in Navigation Mode.

With primed Telescope (Shift+N) the mode button ("b") cycle in the functions of the activate ("n") button:

Nearest target
Rescan
Step forward in the target list
Step back in the target list
Lightballs: off / navigation only / ships / masslock borders / large
Sniper ring km: off / 5-25.6 / 10-25.6 / 15-25.6 / 5-30 / 10-30 / 15-30
Steering: off / nearest target only / both nearest and step in the list
Targets: 20 and limitation in red alert / 50 / 100 / 200
Visual target: off / weapons off / no ring / no station / no question mark / all
Visual target size: 1-8

The first 4 functions are commands which happen instantly when activated. The "Step forward" and "Step back" will scan if step over the end of the target list only. Target list contains hostiles first if any, then all ships in normal scanner (25.6km), then Cargo and Escape Pods, then after all near items show ships which is not in the normal scanner.

The last 6 functions are customizable properties in the telescope.js, you can change these during fly. Your settings are stored into missionVariables and restored with load game after you docked and saved your game.

When the core game provide more equipment buttons then a back button can step back to the previous function (maybe Ctrl+"b"). With another equipment button (maybe Ctrl+"n") settings can be separated from the commands.

Cost: 500.0 Cr.
Techlevel: 5

Telescope Extender

You must buy this equipment separatedly to confirm you want step over the rules of the standard game.

Will increase the detection range based on the size of the target so you can lock it when the core game set it to isVisible and show at least a dot in the sky.

For example you can see:

Adder at 32 km,
Viper and escort ships around 50 km (2x scanner range),
Anaconda, Boa, Cobra MkIII and Python about 100 km (4x scanner range),
Rock Hermit in almost 500 km (if not visible from the Main Station then fly around),
Coriolis Station at 1000 km (right from the witchpoint).

Cost: 500.0 Cr.
Techlevel: 5

Gravity Scanner

If the mass of your ship more than 130t (Cobra MkIII and above) and there are a station within 5km then you can extend the detection range of Telescope using a mass detector scaled by third power of distance:

the mass of the target in kg must be larger than d*d*d/100 where d is the distance in km.

Detection of the player ships and the Hard versions in HardShips OXP:

		t	km	Hard t	km
Adder   	11	52	23	66
Moray    	40	79	81	100
Cobra Mk I	47	84	94	106
Fer-de-Lance	51	86	102	108
Asp     	59	90	118	114
Cobra Mk III	186	132	371	167
Boa     	192	134	385	169
Python  	222	141	445	177
Anaconda	430	175	1289	253

Beacons detected in the whole system and Rock Hermits usually also (from 900km).

A station need to be near due to the largest parts of the gravity scanner system fitted into the stations which broadcasts some important data and need a large mass (at least 10.000t, the station itself) nearby as a reference to refine the results. Mobile bases can scan anywhere.

Need 4 minutes from undock or hyperjump to reach the maximal detection range when your ship is on move. The detection progress 4 times faster when your ship is stopped so need at least 60 seconds to fulfil.

The mass is scaled with the elapsed time: an Anaconda detected at half time as half mass (215t) which mean 140km and need another minute to detect it from the maximal 175km.

When the gravity detection is done then remain at maximum until docking or jumping due to the computer need to calculate the new areas coming from travel only and not the whole sphere.

Gravity scanner works only when you turn off your weapons with underscore ("_") button, else visible targets displayed only. You can define a more comfortable key in the Oolite/oolite.app/Resources/Config/keyconfig.plist file.

Featuring auto-relock which contiunually change your target to the most centered target, so the box will jumping during you turn your ship to help browse the many targets. The ident ("r") button can lock the same target only in this mode, can not step to the second centered target.

Gravity scan consume 8 energy points (visual scan use 2 only). You can hear the sound of the Gravity Scanner when scanning which is remind to the energy usage also.

Orange and Brown lollipops and lightballs marks the detected targets out of the visible range. Brown if the ship is under 130t mass which means small ships, usually escorts - avoid Oranges and target single Browns until your ship is not very strong. The mass usually can not tell about a ship is pirate or not, colored identification need visual contact.

If you see a lighter ball then there are two or more ship in the same place. The smallest orange and brown ball means the target is farther than 150km, these get dark orange and dark brown lollipops.

Gravity Scanner can not determine the orientation. If the target is not visible then the view position of the visual model will be fixed from the top.

No passive gravity sensors so AutoScan will happen only if a new target arrive into the visible range. When you undock or arrive to a new system then telescope scan performed automatically but if you want to scan the final frontier then you must turn off your weapons.

Beware: aliens sometimes can detect the signal of the Gravity Scan, so if your ship is not strong then do not use often and pay out the full repair if damaged.

Cost: 10000.0 Cr.
Techlevel: 5

Secondary Gravity Scanner Equipment

Cut in half the time when can get the full detection range and works as a single scanner if the primary one is damaged.

Can fit into ships over 400t mass only (Anaconda and heavy OXP ships).

Cost: 20000.0 Cr.
Techlevel: 5

Small Dish Equipment

Detect ships from one third farther (for example an Asp at 120km) but can fit into ships over 130t mass only (from Cobra MkIII) due to the size.

Need Gravity Scanner, it is a piece of metal alone.

Fast CPUs can draw 200 targets without relevant FPS drop, slow systems draw it also but with drop (tested on Intel Atom netbook). In this case turn on Gravity targets if needed only and turn off when reached Telescope range.

This is not a primable equipment (there are no buttons on the pure alloy) and a passive extension so will not increase the energy usage of the scan.

Cost: 5000.0 Cr.
Techlevel: 5

Large Dish Equipment

Detect ships from double range (an Asp at 180km) but can fit into ships over 400t mass only (Anaconda and over) due to the size.

Small Dish will not increase this range further so you can refund it when you buy a Large Dish.

Ships over 1000t (Hard Anaconda and big OXP ships) can use the hull mass to refine the gravity signals to reach 4 times range than without Large Dish.

There are a maximum of detection at 1000km regardless from the bonuses to avoid extreme situations which sometimes can cause bugs.

Will show the nearest 200 targets only to save CPU and avoid serious FPS drops in systems with many ships.

Cost: 10000.0 Cr.
Techlevel: 5

Cheap Repairs

You can buy small fixes for an 1/10 cost of the new equipment instead of the normal 1/2 price but the following drawbacks will be applied:

Telescope: get back the lightballs but will not fix the virtual model display, auto steering and sniper ring.

Gravity Scanner: the cheap spare parts can interfere with the hyperdrive and often cause misjumps.

Small and Large Dish: use less durable alloys and can break during hyperjump.

After cheap fix you can buy full repair which cost the difference between cheap and normal repair: 2/5 of the full price.

You can refund the fully repaired equipments only.

Technical Informations

Depending on Oolite v1.77. No shaders needed.

Instructions

Unzip the file, and then move the folder named ".oxp" into the AddOns directory of your Oolite installation. Savegame included: put the "Telescope demo.oolite-save" file into the oolite-saves directory any load it.

Settings in Scripts/telescope.js

$TelescopeAutoScan = true; //check continually for new isVisible isPiloted target and scan if found

Scanning use a very little energy if a new target arrived but you strongly need this to avoid often scan manually.

$TelescopeAutoLock = 1; //if no target and something in crosshairs with max. this degree diff., 1=lightball size, 0=off

AutoLock is set to 1 degree (size of a lightball) and lock only if no current target to make it similar with the original ident function plus can lock far targets also. Disabled if set to 0 but in this case you can lock targets in 25.6km only.

$TelescopeFarStatus = false; //red ball reveal pirates over normal scanner if true

If false then bounty detected within 25.6km only which is more real and exciting but Thargoids get red ball at any range and a red ship will not change back to yellow if fly over the normal scanner range.

$TelescopeGravLock = 20; //gravity scanner relock in this degree cone (0-180, 20=about the screen)

Panorama targeting offer auto-relock to the most centered target during manual turning and can be switched on or off in-game frist with the weapons and second with the ident button when you see gravity targets. Disabled if set it to 0 but it is not recommended due to in this case you can not lock far targets, so set it to 1 degree at least, or simply use the ident button in-game to reduce it to the level of the AutoLock and leave the possibility to turn it on again.

$TelescopeIdentLock = 180; //if ident pressed or target lost then lock in this degree (0-180, 180=the whole sphere)

Can lock the most centered target even if behind you if set it to 180 and the second press will unlock it so you can clear the visual model when not needed. If set it to 1 then the locking radius reduced to the size of a lightball so can do unlock only. Note the AutoLock will relock in 0.25 second if the target centered exactly, in this case turn a bit before unlock.

Red Alert is an exception where the IdentLock target hostiles only (who target you) to help find attackers. Can be override with AutoLock and GravLock, so if you unlock the current target and point exactly to another then the AutoLock will target it regardless from the hostile status, or if you point it and turn weapons quickly off and on again then lock it regardless from you has lock on another target (but not too quickly, the timed function need max. 0.25 second to lock).

$TelescopeLargeLightBalls = false; //lightballs are increasing depending on the distance or remains small

$TelescopeLightBalls = true; //turn on or off all lightballs, but markes on the scanner will be remain

$TelescopeMassLockBorders = true; //yellow circles around ships and planets in green alert

$TelescopeRedAlertLimiter = false; //a bit more FPS in dogfight if true but show all marks with weapons off only

$TelescopeRing = true; //show a ring around the visual target

$TelescopeShipLightBalls = true; //turn on or off the lightballs with scanner markers of the ships, but cargo, etc. remain

Non-ships with Blue, Cyan, Gray, Green and White colours will be remain to help find these. Auto targeting functions still can lock far targets, the targeted ship are in an empty box.

$TelescopeShowVisualQuestionMark = false; //if a ship has no visual model in effecdata.plist show a big "?" model

$TelescopeShowVisualStation = true; //show or not show the 3D model of the targeted station

$TelescopeShowVisualTarget = true; //show the 3D model of the target if weapons are on (except stations if VisualStation is false)

Set it to false if you want to use the weapon toggle button to show and hide visual model also.

$TelescopeSniperMinRange = 10000; //meters, show sniper ring if the target is over this distance

$TelescopeSniperRange = 30000; //meters, if the target is inside then show sniper ring and large lightball

Set it to to 25600 if you want to shorten the appear of the sniper ring in the name of the fair play.

$TelescopeSniperRingSize = 2; //size of the sniper ring (between 1 and 5, default: 2)

$TelescopeSteering = 2; //auto steering if lock nearest or step in the target list with activate, 1:nearest only

$TelescopeTargets = 200; //limitable to reduce FPS drop in systems with many ships, min. 10, max. 200

$TelescopeThargoids = false; //you will get aliens right after undock to test Telescope

$TelescopeVMarkMinDist = 1000; //meters, if target is inside then remove the lightball marker

$TelescopeVMarkShipMinDist = 10000; //meters, if target is ship and inside then remove the lightball marker

$TelescopeVPosHUD = [0, 0, 0]; //position shift for your HUD's built-in visual target screen if any

$TelescopeVSize = 4; //size of the visual target with online weapons (between 0 and 10, default: 4)

$TelescopeVZoomSize = 6; //zoomed size of the visual target with offline weapons (between 0 and 10, default: 6)

If size is 0 then the visual target is not shown at all.

Script_info support

OXP makers can alter the detection of any objects in shipdata.plist to avoid reveal mission secrets.

Stations with non-standard roles and ships with the word "stealth" within dataKey or role are detected in normal scanner range only. Must specify "telescope" script_info key to detect it farther to stay compatible with the existing OXPs, for example Rescue Stations.oxp, Stealth.oxp and Vector.oxp.

Standard Station roles: "station", "coriolis", "dodo", "dodec", "dodecahedron", "ico", "icosa", "icosahedron" and "rockhermit".

Hiding ships need "stealth" role or set telescope = 0; in script_info.

script_info = {
	telescope = 0;
};

0: detected within normal scanner only as without telescope.
1: detected in visible range only (due to gravity scanner can see a ship with 1kg mass from 2km only).
Positive integer: give new mass to the ship in kg which can increase or decrease the gravity detection.
Negative integer: will be substracted from the ship.mass in kg to reduce gravity detection.

If this key is not placed at all then get the normal detection. Objects with disabled detection (0) not detected when arrived into visible range (need scanner range), but once detected then tracked over scanner range while in visible range until next scan (small help and save performance).

Problems

If you do not see the model of a ship (or see a question mark if enabled) then you probably installed a custom ship OXP. The core game currently do not support to make visual effects from ships directly, but there is a workaround: copy the Config/shipdata.plist files in your OXPs to effectdata.plist or insert into the full contents if exists to avoid overwrite.
If the model still not appear and the definition of the ship using like_ship then copy the model = "filename.dat"; from the original ship into the section of this ship. Original cobras arrived after I do this only.
If a custom ship use shaders with uniforms then you may see errors in the log but the visual target usually appear with less detail (need several core improvements to fix properly). To avoid the errors you can try commenting out the referred lines with // from the effectdata.plist or replace the inputs with fix numbers based on the wiki. For example the Griff Boa ( http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Griff_Boa ) is included in the effectdata.plist file of the Telescope OXP.
If you ride a custom ship and the visual target is misaligned (not in the top center position) then copy the view_position values from your shipdata.plist into the $ShipLibViewPosition array in Scripts/shiplib.js . From Oolite v1.79 the player.ship.viewPositionForward property solve this.
Opened wormholes are not targetable. You can put a box around it but the script receive an empty target only. Can not get a pointer from the list of allShips nor allVisualEffects in v1.77 but from v1.79 there is an isWormhole flag.
If a ship fly over a station then the lightball hide behind the station. To solve this need resizeable flashers which will be available from Oolite v1.79 only.
Right after undock or hyperjump the first ident press can not target the most centered ship, only the second press. The first is not call any event, so you must press "r" again.
Distant targets write double message when locked, sometime the first show the name of the previous target. This seems to be a problem in the core game (tried to log it but only one log line created). Simply ignore the first message.
