Project Videnie orbit drawing source code

[Artlav]

I am no longer active as an add-on developer, and don't even have the means and environment to fix bugs.
So all my old add-ons are effectively orphaned now.
If i keep them to myself, nothing will ever happen. But if i let them out there is at least a chance someone might adopt them.
Some of these add-ons were considered good, and are still sought after. I'm also way past caring about where the code will end up or who takes the credit.
Most of them were written over a decade ago, when i had yet to learn the value of many good coding practices and ways, so the code is an unreadable mess.

An add-on that was asked about recently is the Videnie orbit drawing.
Here is the full source code of it: https://github.com/artlav/videnie

Provided as is under "i don't care" license, project files not included, needs KOST, needs fixing and/or updating to work with modern Orbiter and VS, assets not included (get them from OHM).

If someone were to adopt it:
-Can't remember where grhook.dll came from, all it did was hooking up to D3D render calls to enable the overlay.
-You would like to integrate it into a graphics client to fix the "draw over UI" issues

Good luck.

If there are any other add-ons which might benefit from having the code open, please name them.
It's unlikely that any of them would be in any better shape, however.
It's a "some assembly required" type of deal.

How about

Heavens traffic 090405

Heavens traffic 090405 - Orbit Hangar Mods

 

[Artlav]

Hm, don't see it in readily accessible backups.
Actually, i don't even remember making it.
Might very well be a quick one-off lost to time.

That was my favorite add-on of yours. Loved being able to import all the satellites at once and put them in just before a major launch event.

Here's back when you original released it:

Project - Heavens traffic proof-of-concept

Proof of concept satellite traffic module (Update info in post #17): Heavens traffic 090405 Will read TLE elements from \traffic.tle file, and put the satellites into the simulation at run-time when focused vessel approaches closer than 10Km. Also, any specific satellite could be added thru an...

Spaceway is probably my favorite project of yours, even if it isn't technically an Orbiter addon. I'm not sure I'd ever be able to do anything with the sources, but it would be nice to see it have some chance of being picked up by someone else, however slim. There are capabilities there that I haven't really seen anywhere else, and it very much has its own look and personality graphically, which is more important than excercising the latest wizardry that GPUs are capable of, in my book.

Some of your add-ons that I like:

• Undo for Orbiter
• Scenario maker
• Station Shipyard
• Universal Autopilots

Please source code them.

Thanks for the offer Artlav, let's hope someone will jump on it and evolve it.

In Videnie context, may I resurrect this thread by Jarmonik?

Project - Orbits came for the Orbiter

I needed to create an add-on merely to test some functionalities of the Sketchpad2 interface. So, Orbits came alive for the Orbiter. This is an add-on to display vessel and planetary orbits in a planetarium view. My hands are full of work with the D3D9Client and I don't really have much time for...

This exists: https://www.orbiter-forum.com/threads/orbits-came-for-the-orbiter.33870/

It is itself a bit broken (I recall it crashing if launching Orbiter with F9-view activated, or something like that), but it is at least able to run, and it is a good start for further development. (Source code is included, under a permissive license)
