Inactive [INFO] MapMarkers v0.3.4 [1.1R6]

PURPOSE
This plugin outputs a JSON file containing player locations for use with various Minecraft mapping software.

INSTALLATION
1. Put MapMarkers.jar in your plugins folder
2. Run your server once to generate a config file
3. Edit plugins/MapMarkers/config.yml to your liking

SETUP FOR MINECRAFT OVERVIEWER (Courtesy of FlukiestEmperor)
0. Perform installation (see above)
1. Edit MapMarkers.yml so that markers.json is placed in the same folder as your Minecraft Overviewer output
Alternatively don't edit MapMarkers.yml, make a symlink (Linux):
ln -s path/to/minecraft/server/bin/world/markers.json path/to/minecraft/map/markers.json
2. Put player.png, player.php, and player_markers.js where the overviewer index.html is. (Optionally web_assets in your overviewer source directory)
If you don't want to use player skins as the markers (requires PHP, allow_url_fopen, and ideally write permissions by your PHP user), copy player_markers_noskin.js and rename it to player_markers.js
3. Add a line to your source overviewer index.html that reads:
<script type="text/javascript" src="player_markers.js"></script>
4. Run overviewer and everything should work

SETUP FOR PIGMAP
0. Perform installation (see above)
1. Edit MapMarkers.yml so that markers.json is placed in the same folder as your Pigmap output
Alternatively don't edit MapMarkers.yml, make a symlink (Linux):
ln -s path/to/minecraft/server/bin/world/markers.json path/to/minecraft/map/markers.json
2. Put player.png, player.php, and player_markers_old.js where the pigmap HTML is.
If you don't want to use player skins as the markers (which requires PHP, allow_url_fopen, and ideally write permissions by your PHP user), copy player_markers_noskin_old.js and rename it to player_markers.js
3. Add two lines to your source template.html that reads:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="player_markers.js"></script>
4. Run pigmap and everything should work

CONFIGURATION
plugins/MapMarkers/config.yml contains all settings

saveInterval (default 3000): How often to output the markers, in milliseconds
outputFile (default world/markers.json): Where to place the output file
dateFormat (default yyyyMMdd HH:mm:ss): How to format timestamps in the output JSON.
writeSpawn (default false): Whether or not to place spawn markers (one for each world) in the output.

CHANGELOG
0.3.4:

• Fixed for new configuration and event handling (Now works in 1.1-R6 and 1.2-betawhatever)

0.3.3:

I made a PHP script for the hMod plugin, that outputs a player icon png based on their skin (cuts out the face and resizes it to 24x24 px). I'm sure it will work on this as well. I've released the code on pastebin: http://pastebin.com/uugSLDHs

I haven't tested this on Bukkit, but I think it'll work if you do something like this:

Put the code in a file named playerfaces.php and place it in the same folder as your GMap pages. Edit player_markers.js and replace 'player.png' with 'playerface.php?nick='+item.msg

Pretty much does the same thing, from the look of it, but uses a simple caching class (Cache_Lite) also.

I have a fork of it here that adds some things I wanted (full skin view instead of just face, a configurable/optional border color and width because I couldn't make out avatars on my map well).

https://github.com/Billiam/Minecraft-Overviewer-Addons

example output:

player-avatar.php?player=Notch&s=1&bc=0f0&bw=1&format=flat makes:


player-avatar.php?player=Notch&s=1&bc=0f0&bw=5&format=flat makes:


I'm planning to add an isometric view output, but not sure whether it's worth the trouble or if I'll get around to it

 

So I just tested with both Linux (Slackware) and Windows (7) and ../folder/file.json worked just fine for me. Do the logs show anything significant, such as java exceptions?

anyways, next version coming soon with JSON id's, optional spawn marker, and I'm about to look into a PHP script that pulls skins from minecraft.net for the markers (even though that seems to be covered via third party stuff, I'd like to make it a "part" of the plugin anyways).

 

Oh, Touché I also use a cache of outputs. This one seems to be more extensive though. Nice fork you did too ^^ though i think square faces is better suited for a google map.

I'm pretty sure you are allowed to use mine or billiams' code if you want to

 

Is it possible to include a snap-to player list in the 'player_markers.js' without extra work being done to functions.js/map.js?

Been trying to mesh old player snap lists to overviewer by editing the functions.js and including a styles.css pulled from mega-overviewer without much luck; getting to where the 'list' is visible but doesn't load players and the map goes away with home/spawn marker still visible. It would help if I knew what I was doing probably.

 

@billiam, @simphax;

I have tried both of your files and they both just fall back to the default skin. I made sure they both pointed to the new skins url to no avail. Do you know of any reason why my server (I have to assume its me) won't pull the skins?

 

Having problems with:

Doesn't work for me. The overviewer shows like before: http://www.insane-architects.net/map/

 

allow_url_fopen may be disabled in your php.ini. Check phpinfo();

Your markers.json file is 403ing

 

Just to let you guys know, I have just released my fork of Pigmap on github.

It should work with this MapMarkers plugin, and still work for hMod, if needed.

Also, I've updated my Overviewer fork to have support for this plugin, as well.

If you want screenshots, here's my old post for hMod.

I'm planning on adding that new script you made, billiam. Very nice. I was wondering when someone was going to make it show the entire body and not just the face.

 

ty it works now, the symbolic link was the reason

 

<3

Does it renders the new blocks like wool colors and sand/stone blocks?

 

Yes it does.

 

Is there a list of what's different from the original pigmap?

 

Look at the readme on my Overviewer fork. I list all my changes there. They are pretty much the same for pigmap.

I also provide a script to use with Linux and Windows, yet in order to use pigmap with Windows, it requires you to compile the code, which is a bit advanced for most people (I'm not sure how good you are with computers). I plan to release a win32 build on my github some day soon. I don't have access to my main computer to do so, for the time being.

 

I realize this is a dumb question but where is the plugin's folder?

 

Not the place to be asking this. Please ask this in the discussion/support forums.
But I'll be nice. Sometimes you have to create a folder. The folder needs to be in the same place as craftbukkit.jar, named "plugins" without quotes.

Don't expect others to be as nice about questions in the wrong place. Maybe next time you should do some research. Just a friendly warning.

 

Any idea why the markers wont show on my map? The markers.json is accessible from the webserver, I have added the scripts to the index.html

Tried lots of different things.

http://minecraft.erbros.net/output/index.html

Any help is highly appreciated.

 

You have a new line in the middle of a string in player_markers.js that shouldn't be there.

Use this instead.

Code:

var c = "<div class=\"infoWindow\" style='width: 300px'><img src='player2.png'><h1>"+item.msg+"</h1></div>";

 

Thanks you so much, billiam! Would never have seen that myself

 

Billiam your script doesn't seem to work at all, it just times out. As for the faces one, it will only pull default skins, not really sure why, it looks like it is set up properly.

 

You probably have the same issue I did, make sure allow url fopen is enabled in your php.ini

 

It's open.

 

Please update your release to meet our Plugin Release/Submissions Guidelines.

 

I have been using different forks and whatnot for ages, and everything works splendidly just as I wish. (I loved it when I had the realms overlay working).

The one and only thing I simply cannot get to work at all is any kind of avatar-showing.

Using Drakonas script I get the message: 'The image "http://smp.blocktopia.net/map/faces.php?nick=Notch" cannot be displayed because it contains errors." (I didnt change anything in the script) and using billiams script (http://smp.blocktopia.net/map/player-avatar.php?player=Notch&s=1&bc=0f0&bw=1&format=flat) I only get a blank page (I did change the php tag to the full one, and fopen is enabled).

Is there anything in the php.ini setting I can change / try / do to get this working? It can only be due to some php setting it seems to me. If it helps, our phpinfo() http://smp.blocktopia.net/map/phpinfo.php

Thanks in advance!

One should of course check if GD is installed.

I did get billiams script working now, only Drakonas is still giving the error message. Closing in

Eth0's script works fine, it is only Drakonas/simphax script that doesnt work. Weird.

Anyways, all solved. For anyone having troubles, check you have php-gd installed and extension=gd.so; or such uncommented in the php.ini

@datLicht : Could I integrate this into my fork of the Overviewer map maker (of course credit would be given)? Some changes I'd want to make, such as keeping the player icons as their avatars instead of a face, otherwise it looks great and thanks

 

a client disconnecting by a crash and reconnecting immediatly after the crash causes this error:

@FabianN:
It's no problem just use it as you want... Credit would be nice and let me see what you have done to it

For those that want pigmap for Windows, I now have a Windows package on my github.

Features:
- Face icons for markers (optional)
- Player list (optional)
- Information windows with custom avatars for players (optional, soon to have custom description as well)
- Latitude, Longitude, and Zoom function allows you to send other people a link to what you are looking at
- Soon to implement full player skins as icons

Make sure to edit the config section in template.html before using.

Download the Windows package here.

Also supports Linux and should support Mac. Download the source here.
