Re: [Mod] Compass GPS [compassgps]
Here are some of my suggestions:
Better texture:
-As someone else said, the default texture is the same as the watch mod
-It's also not very good to begin with, as it uses anti-aliasing, which is never a good thing to do in small textures.
-The other texture is nice, but it is just a larger image that has been scaled down. This is a really lazy thing to do (for something this simple), and looks really bad (compared to actually making a new texture). It also has a higher resolution texture, which is really not necessary, and looks really bad and out of place.

I have to disagree with you on both. I think the texture by Bas080 looks fine, and I like the high resolution texture by Andre Goble quite a bit.
But then, the whole point of having multiple textures to choose from is to provide choice for people with different opinions. Please feel free to design a texture that you prefer, code it, and give me a pull request. More textures introduce negligible overhead while providing users with more choices, which is always good in my opinion.

I think the alternate 16x16 texture is nice, but the others both use a lot of anti-aliasing, which is not really good in smaller textures. other than that, this is a pretty nice mod.

I thought the same thing while I was playing with the maps. Just haven't implemented it yet.
Wall mounted maps would have the added advantage of letting you put up maps that anyone could use to add a bookmark to their compassGPS but that no one could TAKE, so they would be there for the next player.

Re: [Mod] Compass GPS [compassgps]
I just accepted a pull request from Miner59. He added wall mounted maps!!!!
https://github.com/Kilarin/compassgps/archive/master.zip
BUT, he added one feature that while I think it is INCREDIBLY cool, I'm not certain if its practical. The maps get bigger as they mark an area further away from the current location. I didn't even know this was possible, its some incredibly clever code that places the map as an entity (like item frame does). Here is a screenshot with some maps of various ranges from 50 nodes away to 60,000 nodes away
I should have looked at the distances in the code and picked the ranges a bit better, but this does give you the general idea.
Like I said, I think this is incredibly cool, but I'm picturing trying to put a map on a wall in a castle or at spawn and having a very difficult time fitting it in. :)
What do you folks think, should we keep the interesting increasing map size, or modify it to be more boring but practical?
And Miner59, THANK YOU, whether we keep the increasing map size or not, it was some incredibly clever code that taught me tricks I did not know. And having wall mounted maps is GREAT!

Re: [Mod] Compass GPS [compassgps]
These are indeed great. I think the maps should stay the same size regardless of distance, though it seems like it would be simple to make a configuration option for it.

Re: [Mod] Compass GPS [compassgps]
Hi, I know map size is a bit extreme.
Maybe limit it to about 3 blocks in lenght and height?
You currently need to go away 5000 blocks to get a bigger map, because I thought without teleport this is a really big distance and not much players even reach this.

great idea. And done https://github.com/Kilarin/compassgps/archive/master.zip
in cgpsmaps.lua change
local growing_wall_maps=false to true and the incredibly cool growing wall mounted maps will come back. leave it false and the wall mounted maps will be more boring but practical sized.
Miner59 wrote: I know map size is a bit extreme.
Yeah, but it IS awesome!
However, I seem to have found a bug on further testing. The growing maps all shrink back to small once you exit the game and reload?

Weird. I can't reproduce the bug. Could you post the content of your bookmarks file out of the world folder? Maybe there is a mistake, but I doubt it.
Looking at the code, neither pos nor target could be nil.
The strangest thing there is, is the double occurrence of "compassgps writing settings" after the crash. (EDIT: Ok, this is probably because it saves after a player leaves and on shutdown.)
Is this a fresh world or are there other mods installed? Maybe it collides with another mod. If so, could you post a list of your mods?
Thanks.
EDIT: Oh, and could you also post the content of minetest.conf? Thanks.
Re: [Mod] Compass GPS [compassgps]
I just compiled 4.11 and tried it. It works fine. Must be an issue in minetest 4.12-dev.
I was testing to see why LazerRay had an issue with mymillwork. He posted this on my thread.

I don't think so. I have nearly current master and it works for me.
Did you compile in a new folder? If this is the case, your minetest.conf file is different. And this might be the issue. The only thing there might be as far as I see is a difficulty with static_spawnpoint. Do you have a setting like this?
But anyway, I'm glad it works.
Re: [Mod] Compass GPS [compassgps]
For some reason I did have a static spawn point. I do not remember doing that. It works fine now.
Thanks.

Re: [Mod] Compass GPS [compassgps]
Could you please post your static_spawnpoint?
At this point, I'm pretty sure, this caused the problem. I can make minetest crash with ",," but I wonder if there is a valid spawnpoint that would cause such a crash.
EDIT: I made a pull request that should fix the problem (At least, if I was right with my assumption that only faulty spawnpoints would cause a crash like this.)

Re: [Mod] Compass GPS [compassgps]
Sorry but I deleted the spawn point and never backed it up. But after deleting it I have not been able to reproduce the issue.
I set static_spawnpoint to 0,0,0, created a new world and tried again but it would not crash.
Wish i could be more help. I am just glad that is was a simple issue with my setup.

Re: [Mod] Compass GPS [compassgps]
Version 2.7 available for download:
https://github.com/Kilarin/compassgps/archive/master.zip
amadin reported a bug. After a catastrophic server crash, the compassgps_settings file existed, but was empty. When compassgps tried to load the file, the table ended up as nil instead of empty and that crashed the server on startup. VERY BAD!!!!
I corrected the code so that on an existing but empty file it resets the table to empty (avoiding the server crash) and puts a error in the log warning the server owner that the file was empty and they should restore settings or bookmarks from backup if possible.
Thank you amadin for reporting the bug and sorry for the problem!

Re: [Mod] Compass GPS [compassgps]
I propose to replace the picture in craft guide and default picture in inventory (compass_0) with a compass_c0 because it better seems on compass.
Re: [Mod] Compass GPS [compassgps]
How to replace compass in the hand with one constant static image? Because it moving and jumping while player walk and it is a bit irritate. I tried, but could not find where it.

I wish I could find a solution to this one. It didn't used to do this, now it does, and it drives me BATTY.
If anyone has any clue how to fix this, I would really appreciate it.
Re: [Mod] Compass GPS [compassgps]
I usually have my compass in the last slot in my hotbar and only select it when I set bookmarks or teleport, it still points in the correct directions in the inventory icon, there is not much of a need to have it held in hand when exploring.
As for fixing the bug, I have no clue where to look, but is seems to be related to engine updates with Minetest itself.

Re: [Mod] Compass GPS [compassgps]
I like this mod very much!
A question: is there a way to erase the content of a marked map if I don't need that any more? If I want it to be blank again. Or I just have to throw it away and craft another one?
