INSTALLATION AND USE

Installation

• COPY du_ez_scanner.json in this repository to your clipboard
• PASTE the code ingame in your Programing Board-

Before you run your script

• Make sure you that your scaning node is in range of the Programing Board
• Be mindfull of your CPU / GPU usange, it is very intensive in computational resorces. If you see any problems with it when starting it press ALT+9 to STOP the Script

How to Use

On your desired scan location and with the programing board in range with the EZ Scanner Script running, do:

1. Open your ore node scanner and filter to just show the desired node type to scan
2. Scroll Mouse Wheel to match the distance of the node ping. Add point with Alt+3 and Remove with Alt+5.
3. Space your points at least 50 mts from each other, and never more than 2 points with the same altitude
4. When you have the 4 points, use Alt+4 to find node location
5. Set Destination with Link provided in the lua chat panel on your chat interface
6. Resume Paussed Script with Alt+8 if you want to take an other mesurement.
7. Exit Script (Alt+9)

Good to know

• Always take points with more than 50 meters apart from each other and never more than 2 with the same elevation
• Only Alioth Coords Tested ATM, i havent test it yet on other planets
• After the node search the scrip will pause, resume if needed
• All points will be flused after search
• Keep the script paused to save GPU/CPU
• Change Script parameters for panels to be on/off at the start of the script
• The mouse scroll wheel has a aceleration multiplier, move it arround a bit to get the feeling of it
