Tonight I made a huge breakthrough in something I've been wanting to do: Show the player's history (position wise) on an SH5 style map (along with other things). I finally was able to read the SH5 map correctly and apply the gradient to it for the colors. Looks just like the nav map in game doesn't it?

:

Now I just have to code in some changes to the in-game ship's journal and then I can code in the code needed for this app to read it and display it. This was huge

If you want to try the app as it is now you can: http://www.gamefront.com/files/20706...DarkWraith_zip

It will display the SH5 map as is used in the game. You can pan and zoom and change the gradient (map colors) by referencing the screenshot above. Press H for help to show the help box like above in the screenshot.

NOTE: when you change gradients it will take a minute or two (or less) depending on how powerful your CPU is. It's having to change a TON of data when this happens is the reason why it takes some time.
