GPS Helper

Description
GPS Helper

Based on GPSHelper by CrazyDave137, seemingly abandoned and non-functional. I picked it up, cleaned it a bit, and fixed issues with string filtering. Commands are the same, I just fixed some internals and minor performance issuese that nobody would have noticed anyway.

Code available on GitHub[github.com].

Usage

[string] denotes an optional parameter. You may provide it, or leave it blank.

When adding a GPS, it will be used as the base name. Omitting will use the Player name instead.

When filtering, providing an argument will try to do a substring match ('contains') on the GPS name, description, and hexadecimal string representation of the colour.

  • /gpsx [string] creates a GPS point at current location, noting the local planet in the description. An auto-incrementing hexadecimal auto-ID string is appended to uniquely identify each GPS.
  • /gpsx_reset resets the auto-incrementing auto-ID. Does not modify existing GPS.
  • /gps_export [string] export all matching GPS to clipboard. No argument exports all GPS.
  • /gps_toggle [string] toggle visibility of all matching GPS. No argument toggles all GPS.
  • /gps_off [string] turn visibility of matching GPS off. No argument toggles all GPS.
  • /gps_on [string] turn visibility of matching GPS on. No argument toggles all GPS.
  • /gps_remove [string] remove all matching GPS. No argument removes all GPS. WARNING: Can not be undone!

Props

  • CrazyDave137 for authoring the original mod
  • Digi for putting up with my endless flood of questions and being an all round nice chap

Now vanilla can basically do what I need because multiple points can be shift+clicked.
But thank you so much for the years you were literally ahead of the game!
/gps_toggle would still be a useful feature in vanilla.

so is there a way to set the number this the tags start with? I play on a server and a faction mate sent me some of his coords adn they used this or a similar mod, and I would like to be able to easily just set the number to start on and go from there. Is that possible?

I looked into it. Mods just require a pull request of a xml file with some details filled out.
pull request I submitted [github.com]

No, I had not considered it yet. Feel free to have a look. I'm kinda busy irl right now, so it would be a while before I could look.

In theory it all runs on the client, but you'll have to check the API.

Does this use server only commands? If not, have you thought of making it into a PluginLoader plugin? I was thinking of looking at your github to see if I could convert it myself, but if its already on your todo list, I'll wait
