About this project

What does Waypoint Compass add?

Craft a compass watch, wear it on your arm, and a compass strip appears at the top of your screen. Three tiers, from early game to late game:

Watch Shows Recipe
Copper Cardinal points Core: 2 glass slabs, 3 rusty gears, a stick and a circular copper plate. Watch: leather · core · leather.
Bronze + your pinned waypoints Copper watch in the centre, 4 temporal gears on the sides, 4 bronze semicircles in the corners.
Steel + other players Bronze watch in the centre surrounded by 4 steel semicircles.

Each tier is made from the previous watch, so nothing is lost when you upgrade. The circular copper plate and the bronze/steel semicircles are smithed on the anvil, 1 ingot each. The copper plate can also be cast in a clay circular plate mold (100 units of copper).

Better together: the KristKing mods

Every one of my mods works on its own. Install them together and they talk to each other, with no dependencies: remove one and the rest keep working.

Mod What it is Together
Gentage Heritable genetics for animals, a veterinarian trade and a server rarity ranking. Animals you follow in the Gentage Book show on the strip as a paw print in their rarity colour, with name, ID and distance (a paw with «?» marks a last known position). With the bronze or steel watch, a paw floats over each one up close.
Player Roster Hold Tab for a scoreboard of everyone online. Its Tab list places itself under the compass strip.
Leanable Surfaces Lean tongs and small tools against forges, anvils, chests and tables. Works side by side, no shared patches or screen areas.

Features
  • Compass strip with ticks every 15°, cardinal points and a centre needle.
  • Pinned waypoints shown at their bearing with the same icon and colour as on the map, including icons added by other mods.
  • Distance under each marker, plus height difference when it matters: 120 m (+14). The marker in the centre also shows its name.
  • Markers behind you stick to the edge of the strip, so you know which way to turn.
  • Steel watch: other players appear as person icons, with group members in green. They are exactly the players the vanilla map can show, so the server's map rules still apply (hidden players, map render distance, spectators). It reveals nothing the map doesn't.
  • Animated watch: on the worn watch a temporal gear spins and the needle points to real north. Other players see it too. The case and buckle match each tier: orange copper (rusty gears and a stick needle), yellow bronze, or bronze with a steel rim and buckle; only the temporal-gear tiers glow green.
  • Moves the vanilla block/entity info box from the top centre to under the minimap and coordinates, so it doesn't overlap the compass. Can be turned off.
  • Watches can be placed on the ground, on tables (Shift + right click, 4 per block) and in display cases. Plates and semicircles work with metalworking and melt back into ingots.
  • Ctrl+Shift+C toggles the compass (rebindable). Hidden with F4 like the rest of the HUD.
Configuration

ModConfig/waypointcompass.json (client): RequireWatch, OffsetY, Width, FieldOfView, MaxDistance, ShowDistance, ShowOffscreenAtEdge, ShowPlayers, AnimatedWatch, IncludeCartographer, RespectPinMatrixHidden, MoveBlockInfo, BlockInfoMaxWidth.

Dependencies

None. Only Vintage Story 1.22 or newer. The integrations below are optional: they switch on only if those mods are installed.

Compatibility

Tested on a Vintage Story 1.22.7 server running 56 mods, with no errors.

Other mods are detected at runtime (no hard dependencies). If one changes internally, that integration switches itself off and logs a warning.

Install

Required on the server and on every client, since it adds items and recipes. After updating, close the game completely before joining again. Languages: English and Spanish.

Español

Fabrica un reloj compás, póntelo en el brazo y aparecerá arriba de la pantalla una franja de brújula. Tres niveles, del principio al final de la partida:

Reloj Muestra Receta
Cobre Puntos cardinales Núcleo: 2 losas de vidrio, 3 engranajes oxidados, un palo y una placa circular de cobre. Reloj: cuero · núcleo · cuero.
Bronce + tus waypoints fijados Reloj de cobre al centro, 4 engranajes temporales a los lados y 4 semicírculos de bronce en las esquinas.
Acero + los demás jugadores Reloj de bronce al centro rodeado por 4 semicírculos de acero.

Cada nivel se hace con el reloj anterior, así que no se pierde nada al mejorarlo. La placa circular de cobre y los semicírculos de bronce o acero se forjan en el yunque, 1 lingote cada uno. La placa de cobre también se puede fundir en un molde de arcilla de placa circular (100 unidades de cobre).

Mejor juntos: los mods de KristKing

Cada uno de mis mods funciona solo. Instalados juntos se hablan entre sí, sin dependencias: si quitas uno, los demás siguen funcionando.

Mod Qué es Juntos
Gentage Genética heredable para los animales, oficio de veterinario y ranking de rareza del servidor. Los animales que sigues en el Gentage Book salen en la franja como una huella del color de su rareza, con nombre, ID y distancia (una huella con «?» indica la última posición conocida). Con el reloj de bronce o acero, una huella flota sobre cada uno de cerca.
Player Roster Mantén Tab para ver a todos los conectados, como un marcador. Su lista de Tab se coloca sola debajo de la franja.
Leanable Surfaces Apoya tenazas y herramientas pequeñas en fraguas, yunques, cofres y mesas. Funcionan juntos, sin parches ni zonas de pantalla compartidas.

Haz clic en las secciones de abajo para ver más.

Funciones
  • Franja con marcas cada 15°, puntos cardinales y aguja central.
  • Waypoints fijados en su rumbo con el mismo icono y color que en el mapa, incluidos los iconos de otros mods.
  • Distancia bajo cada marcador y desnivel cuando importa: 120 m (+14). El del centro muestra además su nombre.
  • Los que quedan detrás se pegan al borde de la franja, para saber hacia dónde girar.
  • Reloj de acero: los demás jugadores salen como una silueta de persona, en verde los de tu grupo. Son exactamente los que puede mostrar el mapa, así que se respetan las reglas del servidor: no revela nada que el mapa no enseñe.
  • Reloj animado: en el reloj puesto gira un engranaje y la aguja apunta al norte real; los demás jugadores también lo ven. La caja y la hebilla son del metal de cada nivel.
  • Mueve la información del bloque/entidad del juego debajo del minimapa y las coordenadas para que no se pise con la brújula (se puede desactivar).
  • Los relojes se pueden dejar en el suelo, sobre una mesa (Shift + clic derecho, 4 por bloque) y en vitrinas. Las placas y semicírculos sirven en la metalurgia y se funden de vuelta a lingote.
  • Ctrl+Shift+C muestra u oculta la brújula (tecla configurable).
Dependencias

Ninguna. Solo Vintage Story 1.22 o superior. Las integraciones de abajo son opcionales: se activan solo si esos mods están instalados.

Compatibilidad

Probado en un servidor de Vintage Story 1.22.7 con 56 mods, sin errores.

  • Pin Matrix: sus pines salen en la brújula (también los de comerciantes), y los que ocultas en Pin Matrix se ocultan también en la brújula.
  • Cartographer: se muestran los waypoints compartidos que tengas fijados, sin duplicados.
  • BetterEr Prospecting, Pet AI, Player Corpse (Azu), Rivers: los waypoints que crean son waypoints normales del mapa, así que salen en la brújula si los fijas.
  • HUD Clock: no se pisa con su distribución por defecto.

Los demás mods se detectan en tiempo de ejecución, sin dependencias obligatorias. Si alguno cambia por dentro, esa integración se apaga sola y deja un aviso en el log.

Instalación

Necesario en el servidor y en cada cliente, porque añade objetos y recetas. Tras actualizar, cierra el juego del todo antes de volver a entrar. Idiomas: inglés y español.
