echolocation (decloaking movement visualizer)

By randolph, in X-Wing

Advanced Sensors are in! Toggle on Barrel Roll and/or Boost to unlock the option. Also works with PTL, but standard processor / visual trainwreck warnings apply. Z-95 is also in.

The changes to the animation scheduling framework were pretty extensive (and kludgy v_v), so please let me know if you find any bugs / weird interactions with Advanced Sensors.

It might be a good Idea to add a hyperlink to your profile signature. this way this awesome work follows you everywhere.

I know it's been said, but truly well done.

One last update before heading off to Comic-Con!

* Graphical ship select + tooltips

* Rear firing arc support

* A-wing, Firespray-31, TIE Advanced, TIE Bomber, Y-wing

... plus an Easter egg... I wonder how quickly you guys will find it :ph34r:

Found it, I feel lucky like someone who found.........a pot of gold.

Back from Comic-Con,woo! The dragons coming out for Attack Wing seem pretty... balanced <_<

Today's echolocation patch: "They did what to Large ship Barrel Rolls?"

Since Mu0n was the only one to find the Easter egg in 3 days: there's a hidden button beneath the Starfield toggle :D

I love this, it's like a flower of death, a death blossom if you will.

My only question, is there a non-echo version of the phantoms?

Yep! If you select the Phantom icon, echolocation will switch to the normal/Whisper decloak version (no banks during the decloak animation / on the decloak selector), and the word "Echo" will no longer be "backlit." Clicking on "Echo" will switch back to Echo's decloak pattern.

You can also detoggle the Empire/Alliance menus on the bottom left if it's too much visual clutter.

I just started playing echo - and this an intense program that just blew my mind.

great job!

cool .... are you going to work on the scums too?

Any hope of this being updated? Is there anything else like this? I would love to see scum, advanced sensors, BB-8's pre-move barrel roll added to the options.

Updated, with notes in the first post!

re: Advanced Sensors, it's been available since July 23, 2014 - it's the little white system slot icon in the option sidebar that activates when you turn on barrel rolls and/or boosts. You can kinda mimic BB-8 by toggling on Barrel Roll + Advanced Sensors and limiting the dial to greens.

Another update: echolocation is finally caught up to current releases (notes are in the first post)! The Hound's Tooth is just ridiculously large.

And now, the long wait for Wave 8...

BB-8 Poenanigans look glorious on this. :)

I love that it is an X doing it.

Awesome work. Thanks for this. It's brilliant.

How did I not find this before now. This is awesome!

So, sorry to bring this back, but if at all possible it would be nice to have the option of turning on Daredevil (as an after maneuver effect)... I was just thinking about it, and with 'Ello Atsy's' White T-roll, you could then DareDevil to get back almost to where you began.

echolocation has been updated with the dials from the Wave 8 previews (notes are in the first post)!

I've been wanting to add this for awhile - it'd be easy to add the action itself, but figuring out a good place to put the UI button (re-)opened a huge layout / framework rework can of worms... It's on my radar, but no promises :x

I'd forgotten how awesome this is. Great work!

My suggestions:

SLAMing for K-Wings

Hashtag the current options in the URL so users can share a particular ship and set of options as a link.

Cheers

First time I've seen this.

Very Very cool!

Fantastic work randolph!

Updated again to add voidstate's permalink idea (first post updated with changes).

Thanks, glad you like it!

re: K-Wing SLAM, I added that back in October:

Any chance Daredevil might get added?

i just want to imagine Ello white Trolling then Daredeviling.

Yay!

This is a great tool :) but everyone else already said so!

As a feature request, would it be possible to click on one of the ending positions to clear all other ending positions and being able to determine how to get to a given point? Since most of the times there is some overlap with some ending positions maybe it could be a good idea to keep all possible combinations which might take you to that point.

And again, really nice and useful tool!
