Hello people! Looks like radar has been broken since Revision 1.72 of AIManager.cxx some 4 months back. The radar supports a fixed number of aircraft, and the nodes for these are created at initialization. The aforementioned 1.72 revision however ignores these, and creates others. Attached simple patch (in radar.diff) should fix it, by considering any slot without an id unused.
The number of allocated slots are somewhat limited but creating them dynamically does not seem to be an easy task. As a workaround I hacked together a little awk script that generates a configuration xml for any given number. (radar.awk and radar.in.xml). A pre-built radar.xml for 8 AI and 32 MP planes is included. XML is huge, but I have not run into any problems yet. YMMV. I also poked around a little more and added target selection and altitude display. (As I understand it, the altitude was only displayed for the first slot.) For this I modified 2 textures, radar_frame.rgb and radar_misc.rgb. In the latter I used some seemingly empty space for the target boxes. The target selection could be beefed up with a little nasal, so that only existing in-range targets are selected. Grab the tarball here: http://w3.enternet.hu/jester/fgfs/radar-20070325.tgz Hopefully I didn't break anything. Let me know what you think.
