Scanning part revamp

• 15 new scanner parts by Nertea
• Multiple instruments for each scanner type
• Old parts are soft-deprecated; they are still loaded but won't appear in the VAB/SPH part list

New visual scan mode

• Low and high resolution RGB color visual map scans
• New science results for high resolution visual map scans

Overhaul of scanner instrument types

• Some scanners require the surface to be in daylight to function
• New combination of scan types for each instrument
• Resource scanning now handled mostly independently from stock resource scanning
• All high resolution resource scans fall under a single scanner type
• Updated contract types

Other improvements

• Added more scanner information to scanner right-click part menus
• Added more scanner information to VAB/SPH part list info

Bug fixes and other updates

• Fix KSPedia entry for KSP 1.8 and above
• New KSPedia entries and various edits to existing pages
• Fix various Unity script issues
• Fix RPM map display errors
• Fix MechJeb landing site integration

Changes from version 19.3

• Fix KSPedia entry in KSP 1.9
• Minor part balance updates
  • Resource scanning updates
  • Fix Breaking Ground surface feature detection

Complete UI overhaul:

• All aspects of the SCANsat UI have been replaced with the new Unity UI

  • This results in a significant reduction in performance impact and garbage creation, particularly when several SCANsat windows are open at the same time
  • UI scaling is integrated with stock UI scaling (master scale) – separate scaling for SCANsat only is also available
  • All text is rendered with TextMesh Pro, resulting in clearer text, particularly at small and large scales, and better compatibility with other languages
  • New option is available to switch between KSP and the old, Unity style UI styling

• New stock toolbar menu

  • In the flight scene, the stock toolbar button will now spawn a small menu with buttons for all of the SCANsat windows
  • Enable or disable this option in the settings window

• New settings window

  • Features multiple pages for different groups of settings

Zoom map overhaul:

• It now uses an orthographic map projection to eliminate distortion near the map center
  • This is similar to the polar map projection, but can be centered anywhere
• Further separated from the big map
  • Menu to set the resource selection (if more than one is installed)
  • Menu to set the map type (altimetry, biome, slope)
  • Toggles for all of the map overlays
• Three different map size options
  • Full map with top and bottom control bars
  • Medium map with only top control bar
  • Compact map with no control bar
• Option to reset the map to the current vessel position
• Option to lock the map to the current vessel position
  • Will re-center the map on the vessel position whenever it is refreshed, zoomed, etc…
• Buttons to move the map center in all four directions
• Fixes problems with the “Require Narrow Band Scanner” resource scanning requirement
  • Should function correctly with both stock scanning and SCANsat-style resource scanning

Localization:

• Localization support for most aspects of SCANsat
  • Part descriptions, science results, part right-click menu fields, tooltips, settings window help tooltips, and some of the UI text
  • Planet names, biome names, and resources names are all localized
  • Some aspects of the UI, particularly the settings window, are not localized
  • The KSPedia entry is not localized
• Spanish by Delthiago98
• Chinese by Summerfirefly
• Russian by Ser and RarogCmex
• German by h0yer

New Features:

• Stock waypoint system integration
  • Big map and zoom map can be used to set stock waypoints
  • Click the waypoint button in the lower-right corner of the map to activate waypoint mode
    • Select a point on the map and left-click there to assign the waypoint location
    • Edit the waypoint name using the text input field
    • Click set to generate the waypoint
  • Optional MechJeb integration
    • MechJeb integration toggled through the settings window
    • Click the MJ button instead of set to use the waypoint as a MechJeb landing site
    • Requires MechJeb installed, and a functional and upgraded MechJeb core on the current vessel
• Options for map generation speed
  • A slider in the settings window allows for three map speed options
    • 1 – One row of all map types will be drawn per frame
    • 2 – Two rows of all map types will be drawn per frame
    • 3 – Two to four rows of the maps will be drawn per frame, depending on the map type
• Color Management Window updates
  • Integrated into the new settings window
  • Text input fields are available for most values with a slider
  • More biome options for the biome colors used and the white borders
  • New HSV color picker for all of the color management tabs
    • Uses a standard, saturation vs brightness (value) square color picker, with a hue slider to the right
    • Displays the current selection in RGB, HSV, and Hex color values
    • Allows for manual input of RGB values, using either 0-1, or 0-255 values
• Updated KSPedia entry
  • Reflects all changes made for version 18
  • Several new pages with information about the different map windows
• Miscellaneous new features
  • Scanning width now properly accounts for latitude, resulting in scans of even width at all latitudes
  • New settings file; generated in the GameData/SCANsat/PluginData folder after first running KSP
    • Contains most of the options found in the settings window
  • Settings windows options for resetting specific sets of scanning data for an individual celestial body, or all bodies
  • Biome map legend
    • Displays all of the biome colors as sections on the map legend
    • The zoom map legend shows only the biomes present in the map window
  • Map legend tooltips
    • Displays altitude or biome name when the mouse is over the map legend
  • Day/night map terminator overlay for all maps
    • Toggled with the sun and moon icon
  • New part module specifically for handling science experiments
