gsmapper + map mod

[gsmanners]

Sorry I derailed the thread. I think I needed a little break, there. Good news: 0.6!

What's new? Well, it actually seems to be working decently enough that I can start to work on features. Yay!

[gsmanners]

Nice to get past those stupid bugs. Now I can do some real work.

Are you planning to show these updates to the developers of Freeminer? They might provide valuable testing.

[gsmanners]

Updates are public. I don't see how I can show them any better.

[gsmanners]

If someone can explain how to do proper client-only settings, that would be much appreciated. This stuff is extremely lacking in documentation.

Thats wrong I am using my Kubuntu since years for viewig DVD, Bluray, and everyting else (Audio and Video)
The only thing you have to do for DVD is installing libdecss2 and optional libdvdnav.
For BluRay there is makemkv, not as comfortable as an standalone BD Player but works.
MPlayer and Videolan will play BD to but only unencrypted ones.

in some countries libdvdcss and programs like that are illegal, including the U.S.

You can play encrypted ones too: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/BluRay

However, if nobody includes this patch in a future Windows build of Minetest (or Freeminer,) then testing of it shall indeed be impossible for many Windows users.

I'll try to compile this after I'm done with the current build.

I replaced those functions with round and %, now the cursor turns around wrongly but everything else works.
To enable the mapper, add

So far, it appears that gsmapper can only map the surface, as caves don't show up. Two other issues involve how scrolling is handled and how node changes do not show up immediately (gsmapper has to be scrolled first.)

To show caves, add hud_map_above = false to minetest.conf, rather buggy... Not sure if you mean it doesn't scroll when you move, if so, hud_map_tracking=1 in minetest.conf (Even buggier!)
And it seems to update the map without scrolling, for me...

Thank you for the information, but is there a command that makes the map bigger (to make it easier to see?)

Everything is done with /set commands at the moment. It would be nice to use keyboard shortcuts, but I want to leave that for a Lua interface (just have figure out how to support that at some point).

For now, you can do lots of stuff with commands like this:

/set hud_map_scale 1.5

The above will "zoom" in 50% (and it will become your new default the next time you run).

Some other settings:

hud_map_alpha <-- 0 to 255
hud_map_above <-- false = below-ground radar
hud_map_tracking <-- true = keep the player in the center (I still need to optimize this one, though)
hud_map_width and hud_map_height <-- the size of the map

That should be what you want!

Thank you. That is everything I need.

On a more serious note, the bad allocation error happens a lot with Krock's build when I join servers like ShadowNinja's Creative Server and VanessaE's Creative Server.

The gsmapper branch of Minetest is many commits behind the master branch. For the sake of testing, it would be wise to update it.

gsmanners, are you still working on this? Because the pull request has been closed to to a license change, and the patches no longer work with the dev version of Minetest. I would be very sad to see this die, as it is a great piece of work, and I have installed it system wide with Minetest... (https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pu ... t-46561514)
On a different note, it seems to crash whenever there is an unknown node loaded.

It does crash whenever an unknown node is loaded.

This is one of those projects that requires more than one person working on it in order for it to succeed at all. Right now, to be blunt, gsmapper is on its deathbed. Even Freeminer won't accept it in its current state.

Yep. If I knew C/C++ I would volunteer to help, but unfortunately I don't. Someone needs to help, as this is too good a patch to let die.

[Inocudom]

Those that are the most qualified to help are the ones that work on the various versions of minetestmapper.

[Amaz]

Yeah.

[Inocudom]

I am guessing that there won't be any activity with this until autumn comes around. Too bad this feature isn't talked about very much. I guess most people either don't know about this, or don't care. Don't they know that this will make navigating worlds easier, or is that why they don't know/care about it?

[philipbenr]

Because they are too lazy to try and implement it into their game. Somebody has to be making regular builds of it/given a full tutorial of how to implement.

Yes, I actually find engine patches like this quite interesting. It's just that it isn't n00b friendly to install.

[Inocudom]

There is no longer a patch of gsmapper. Instead, there is now a Minetest branch that contains it:
https://github.com/gsmanners/minetest/tree/gsmapper
Of course, this branch has not been updated for a few weeks, so it does not contain important bug fixes and improvements that were recently made in the master branch. Very big problem that is.

*Blushes*
Yes, it isn't. ;) Anyhoo, I hope that somebody does make a working build for a couple of n00bs out here...

Actually, the patch still exists in the first post. However, it no longer works, as the code it was placed in has been changed.

Okay, don't want to double post, however, this (imo) needs another post!
I got gsmapper working with the latest minetest git. (As of 1/7/14, 18:09 GMT).
You can view the changes here: https://github.com/Amaz1/minetest/tree/ ... r-uptodate (It should be compilable, at least on Linux.)

What would keep it from working on Windows and OSX?

Nothing! Linux was the only one I tried it on, and in fact, since I wrote this, Krock made a build for Windows with it in, see viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9515&p=146851#p146851

How would a programmer address the issue of unknown nodes causing gsmapper to crash? I guess something similar to what was done in minetestmapper could be a viable solution. When gsmapper comes back, he could use whatever solution is proposed.

It's trying to get a texture to use as a colour, and failing non-gracefully.
