NavMap allows to have a few universes. Read multiuniverse.ini to get the declaring way and further details.

Installation:
• MultiUniverse.dll goes into EXE\
• multiuniverse.ini goes into DATA\UNIVERSE\
• Add MultiUniverse.dll in dacom.ini.

Updated on May 2020.

For a demo it looks not bad. Interesting someone actually made such a plugin
I am als surprised: it's the first time I see a FL plugin written in Delphi.

So far I think it's not very practical in normal use for mods, but further developement will turn this into a useable plugin for big mods that want to split up the map to keep a good overview.

For now, this one already can be used, it contains a main base mechanics, but true - it's just an experimental one. I was getting to know to FL structures on the fly and was putting all things in one big mess, as a result hard to do smth now & lack of minor handlers(one more needed: playershiplocation-icon is rendered always whatever cluster you observing). It must be rewritten from scratch.

That was my first hooking adventure. As for delphi, it nicely served as a tasm for asm)))

Finished. Uploaded in the first post.

With jumpgate button additionally hooked a base list. Spent time jumping into all clusters with different navmap's states, this time everything is perfect, i guess. Have fun!)

Damn, missed territory plugin...

For 1024x1024 scale factor (the 5th param ) is about -0.7.

Code:
[fancymap] 
mapping = 1024_1x1

[1024_1x1]
mapping = 0, don't use,0, 0, -0.7, 1.175, 1.5,  1 ; full galaxy background 1024x1024
.......

I do not understand how to configure :
x, y, scale, squeezex, squeezey

Your fancymap are 256x256 x8 pictures, 4x2 = 4 pictures for 2 lines, = 1024x512.

In ClusterNavMap.ini :
Code:
;mapping = index, nickname, x, y, scale, squeezex, squeezey, ids_name
[4x2_Example] 
mapping = 0, don't use,  0.1225,  0.1375,  -0.235, 1.566, 1,  60239 ; "HAZARD" galaxy 
mapping = 1, cluster_1,  0.3675,  -0.1375,  -0.235, 1.566, 1,  24200  ; will print "MISSION 12" for this cluster in the navmaps's bottom  
mapping = 2, cluster_2,  0.1225,  -0.1375,  -0.235, 1.566, 1,  60247 ; "Debris"  
mapping = 3, cluster_3,  -0.1225,  0.1375,  -0.235, 1.566, 1,  47051 ;"LSF" 
mapping = 4, WHATEVER_NAME,  0.3675,  0.1375,  -0.235, 1.566, 1,  60249 ; "Black Hole"


Do you know if 1024x1024 x8 pictures ( 4096x2048 ) work?

@starworld

Absolutely the same as in "4x2_Example". I tested it by adjusting image size of that 1024x512 texture in video to 4096x2048 and just launched the game.

Those params serves to project a textures's region that should be fit the NavMap for each universe, sort of that. I've failed to fool crc "database" by loading a few 3db files so got more tricky way.
