Description
Avorion: 0.31 - 2.0
Improves Galaxy Map UI to provide more info. Allows to mark sectors with icons.

This is a client-side mod. You can install it on server for more features and to make all players automatically download it.

NOTE: This mod will be updated to the stable versions only. I'm not planning to support Beta-versions since they come out very often and I don't have the time to check and update mods every time.

Features
  • Displays distance to the center when you hover a sector.
  • Adds toggleable display of resource and boss ranges.
  • Allows to mark sectors with icons. If the mod is installed on a server, you will be able to add alliance icons that will be synced between alliance members.
  • Displays hazard zone marks (if the mod is installed on a server)
  • Adds a checkbox that locks radar blips allowing you to see them constantly and not just during the "scanning wave" animation

Installation (additional steps)
You can this mod in singleplayer without any additional actions.
However, if you want to use while playing on someone's server, please ask the server owner to do one of the following things:
  • Install the mod on their server (this will unlock additional features)
  • OR allow players to use it:
    1. Create "modconfig.lua" in the server galaxy folder (Instruction[avorion.gamepedia.com])
    2. Add "allowed" table in the file, if it doesn't exist:
      allowed = { }
    3. Add "{id = "1722652757"}," and "{id = "1765619430"}," in the "allowed" table:
      allowed = { {id = "SomeOtherMod"}, {id = "1722652757"}, {id = "1765619430"}, }

@MageKing17, thank you to you. You gave the correct info and it worked. No idea what atti was talking about and I was not prepared to start a new game.
Thanks to you I did not have to start a new game.

You absolutely do not have to start a new game; you do, however, have to remember to check the "Override Galaxy's Mods" checkbox before loading an existing save.

I am not starting a new game just to add the mod. I moved on, i can live without the mod.

you need to start a new save for the mod to work, once you do that it will appear in the top left on of your map

Mod does not work at all.
Nothing on the map, looks exactly the same.
So no idea where the changes or mod is displayed so that you can see it.
Map is exactly the same.

I can confirm this mod still works, on a MP server and single player. I have noted one item that I will try to find in the settings myself, is that the magenta icon for alliance notes does not appear on sectors that also have private notes. I had done a lot of exploring solo, thinking I had a map sharing mod (I did not), so switched my explorer to Alliance and trying to re-run the sectors, but very hard to tell where my scouts have been vs the alliance, because some sectors that I know I scouted with both will show private and alliance notes, but not the icon, and some still only show private notes and no alliance notes (I figure whatever was there left?)
