Decimal Degree Patch

[Karquile]

Hi - I am kind of a precision flying buff. I use Carbonite and FlightHUD to navigate between objectives. I enjoy being able to launch in Sholazar and set a course for Howling Fjord and get a cup of coffee.

To help with my obsession, I made a 1 line patch that displays tenths of a degree in the Direction text above the waypoint arrow if the delta is less than 1 degree. In the current 4.012 version this is at line 29688:

str=diD<1 and format("%s %.1f deg",str,diD) or format("%s %d deg",str,diD)

Here is the result:



I have no idea whether you or anyone else finds this useful or interesting, but if you do, it's yours.

Any chance you could include a block of code, to make the location easier to find for those without a program showing the line numbers?

On Windows, visit here: http://www.gena01.com/win32pad/
(you'll never go back to vanilla Notepad).

The patch location is in the Nx.HUD:Upd function definition:

local str=format("%s%d yds",col2,dis)
if gop["HUDShowDir"] then
str=diD<1 and format("%s %.1f deg",str,diD) or format("%s %d deg",str,diD)
end
if map.PlS>.1 then

Haavok liked that, so I changed the format string when <1 degree.

Added .1 degree display of tiny angles when "Show direction text" tracking arrow option is on.

This will be in 4.03 for Cataclysm.

Awesome thanks!
