code:GPLv3
pictures:WTFPL
depends:default

THIS MOD ADD:

-PORTABLE RADAR:A item that show objects within a radius(the center of radious is the position of the PLAYER).
-PORTABLE RADAR RECEIVER:A item that show objects within a radious(the center of radious is the position of the RADAR BLOCK).
-RADAR HUD:A item that show objects inside a radious(the center of radious is the position of the PLAYER) through a hud display.

How to:
RADAR:
-Place a radar on ground, right click on it for open radar screen.The radar beam is determined by its y coordinate(y/2).
PORTABLE RADAR:
-use it only.
PORTABLE RADAR RECEIVER:
-To connect a receiver to a radar, you have to click with the PORTABLE RECEIVER with the left mouse button over a RADAR BLOCK, now use it to simply press the left mouse button.

TO DO:?
map backgroud

(someone will use it?)

nice idea. stealth armor anyone? :)

+58026!

I was going ask if someone can make something, likes now that you made it I don't have to!

someone can try this mod on a server?

Sounds good +1

Stealth armor?
Must be expensive (Maybe mese blocks? or mithril from moreores?)

@EDOT: could also show mobs ;)

Stealth armor?

i try

is easy to modify the crafting

could also show mobs ;)

only the closest to the radar

Good job! Could it be possible use a special tool instead of a node? I think it must be cool a personal radar and better for the gameplay that radar isn't infinite.

The radar is not infinite. He has a radius equal to half the height at which it is placed. Therefore requires a very high tower or something simile.A portable short range radar is not so easy to do.

More work to do - but maybe, using AdamPilz's map - it could as background use servers map?

This is really cool! I love the graphics :D

Intresting idea. If it could be applied to a map as well that would be great!

applied to a map

... i like this idea... not today but i try!

This will be good for security reasons

Come on down to my server to test it.

How about make it emit a mesecons singnal when a player is in x range?

NICE!
I want to use it in PVP game




(Sorry, My English is very poor crying55555555555 )

WOOT!

To my mind this radar should be extremely difficult to get, though ;)
Also, anti-radar would be nice.
Also, players' names shouldn't be visible from any distance if this mod is installed.
Also, different colors for different "commands" would be nice ;)
Can be useful if send_chat_all would be replaced by broadcast_within_radius (I and several other peoples made mods for that). So one would check radar and tell others if there are a spy.
Regards!

Great mod!

very cool

What do you think about antennas?

Example:

| <- End of antenna, y=100
|
|
|
O <- Radar, y=0
Range: 100/2= 50 units

...or...

Many kinds of antennas:

Example:

| <- End of antenna, y=4 (4 antenna nodes)
|
|
|
O <- Radar, y=0
Each steel antenna can add 3 units to range, mese antenna 10.

Range:
For steel: 4*3=12 units
For mese: 4*10=40 units

I will consider the antenna hypothesis. Now working to bring the code on github, this will make it more accessible.

ok ima try it on my server

ip: 65.95.68.215
port: 30000(default)
you can also find it on the public list called LaughAllday's server

Love it!
how is progress coming along?

I have made a couple of possible designs for 3d nodeboxes as radar:
Vote which you think is best. You will need to test them in-game to see what they look like.

Watched the nodes that you gave me, actually I was thinking of switching to another model, but I would always remain a face big as a block on which were represented the display of a radar; Also thought to add an antenna that rotates above the display block. I hope I made it clear, in the meantime, thank you anyway because your nodebox are more than what I could have done alone.

I don't mind at all, I just did them for fun to see what I could do, and thought they looked a little like radar, so posted them on this thread.

You could combine this with the signs mod (xyz/pa) to make a non-formspec radar. You could use punch or right click to update the positions, and throw in a ping sound.

Player radar 0.2 update

ADD:
-PORTABLE RADAR:A item that show objects within a radius(the center of radious is the position of the PLAYER).
-PORTABLE RADAR RECEIVER:A item that show objects within a radious(the center of radious is the position of the RADAR BLOCK).
-RADAR HUD:A item that show objects inside a radious(the center of radious is the position of the PLAYER) through a hud display.

There's a bit of a problem with this. Since the range of the radar is always going to be half the height, you won't be able to see players on the ground level of the map if you try to build a large radar tower. The range should be extended, or maybe made into a tall, rectangular shape, although that may be an awkward radar.

Another thing about it is that when looking at the radar, it's telling me how angry it is.
