"but does it leave "bread crumbs" where you've been?"


It turns the edges blue in the areas you have been. Very nifty, but doesn't have a bunch of dots like GPS's do, that show what route you took.. Probably would end up completely graying out the radar if you spend a lot of time hunting in a dungeon, though could be limited to a certain distance, I would expect.

Glad you saw the same thing..

Strangely enough, it was Crater Lake where I had it happen to me.

Got it sorted. New versions of both MiniMap and Radar Add-on are on my website, both need upgrading to fix the bug.


I did consider adding a 'breadcrumbs' idea, but as you said, the problem there is the entire map ends up filled with dots if you do that. And to be honest, is the route you took really that useful, given that it already shows you where you've been?


Route finding's tricky, as this doesn't show you where you need to jump (At the top of the subway, it just shows a gap in the wall, for example), it doesn't know about locked doors, or one way routes (again, such as the subway jump). Pre-defined routes could be possible of course, but automatically generating them is quite tricky. At the moment, the plugin doesn't actually know if it's possible to get from one block to the next, it only knows where to draw walls.

I'm having issues Dual Logging with this plugin turned on, It seems that while logging in and out, it crashes the client to desktop with no error or anything. Turn plugin off and no crashing. Not sure if you could test this or not.

Unfortunately I don't have a 2nd account I can test this with, at least not one that's active.


If anyone with the technical know-how to find out what's causing the crash can let me know, I'll see what I can do, but as I lack the ability to test any fix, I can't make any promises.


It's possible I might re-activate one of my other accounts in the future, but I can't afford to at the moment.

You could always just make a trial account and test with that, just make sure you cancel it before end of 14days or you'll get charged.

V1.0.0.1

Fixed a bug when portalling within a dungeon, and got it to work with portal-less dungeons like Xarabydun, loading the dungeon when you enter.

As a side effect, it also now shows you building walls when you enter a building.

------------------


And to think I was going to come here earlier and ask if this "side effect" was a feature planned for a future release.

Good point. Just tried that, but it's working fine for me. Could you post a decal export?

I had an issue last night while I was hunting with my wife.. We went to 3 Towers, and as we went in (at the same time) she got the dungeon walls, and mine was missing the entrance walls. Dunno what caused that, and I'm not too concerned about it, because logging out and back in fixed that.. So yeah.. Just thought I'd mention it.


I still think this plugin is one of the most kickin-ass plugins I've seen. Nice job!

Is it possible you hadn't been in there before? It probably didn't pick up the data because it wasn't in the cell.dat yet. I'll probably have it re-check when you exit the portal in the next release. For now though, it doesn't do any harm, in fact it should pick up what it's missing as soon as you move.

I had never been there before (Since installation), so that's probably what it was.. Though my wife had never been there either.. Strange.
