[Mod] Compass+ [0.2][compass]

[TeTpaAka]

I think, Echos Compass mod is pretty awesome. But I was missing the feature to refind places you visited once and then never find it again. So I added the ability to bookmark lokations.

The Mod is based on the compass mod, so it uses Echos images and code.
The images are CC BY-SA of Echo.
The code is WTFPL, partially by Echo and partially by me.

You can craft a compass like this:

steel_ingot
steel_ingot mese_crystal_fragment steel_ingot
steel_ingot

To set a bookmark, type: /set_bookmark_name
To delete a bookmark, type: /remove_bookmark bookmark_name
To view all your bookmarks: /list_bookmarks
And finally to let your compass point to the bookmark: find_bookmark bookmark_name

If you want your compass to return to its usual behavior, type: find_bookmark default

Since 0.2 you can also open a menu with these commands by punching with the compass.

Changelog:
compass+_0.2: menu added for manipulating bookmarks
compass+_0.1: changed the name from bookmark to compass+
bookmarks_0.1.1: minor bugfix

Download:
compass+_0.2.zip
compass+_0.1.zip (name changed)
bookmarks_0.1.1.zip (Bugfix)

Cool mod.Now I cant be lost.

Reminds me of Rei's minimap on how the locations work. Otherwise, not bad.

Come to think of it, something that replicates said MC mod would be nice.

Good idea. Though I can't really imagine how to make the visible markers unobtrusive. Also, entities are still too buggy to be reliable, so I would still keep a .txt file with the coords of all your locations.

How much mods are called bookmarks yet?

I don't know. What name do you suggest? I could rename it, so it doesn't interfere with other mods.

[LuxAtheris]

My suggestion: [mod]Compass+[0.1][compass]

[TeTpaAka]

My suggestion: [mod]Compass+[0.1][compass]

Name changed now.

A portable compass, exactly what I've searched.
Also that bookmarks is a nice addition :)

[TeTpaAka]

I have added a menu so you can manage the bookmarks more easily.

ok, this is an AWESOME mod. BUT, I've got a question. It seems that compass works without the bookmarks mod. What is the purpose of the bookmarks mod?

[Kilarin]

I've created a fork of this awesome fork of an awesome mod: Compass GPS

The fork adds an heads up display of your current position -> the bookmark name the compass is pointing at : distance to that bookmark. And it expands the bookmark list from a dropdown to a textlist for improved readability.



I think the original mods are really great, and incredibly useful. That's why I was inspired to make my own version. I learned so much working with this advanced code! If you try out compass gps, please let me know how it works for you.

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

The "bookmarks" mod is just an old version of the compass+ mod. The difference is only the name (and some unfixed bugs.)
