hideplayers_1.2.1.zip  1-click install

Player won't get position info of all other players on the map after they logged in the game. Pins will appear only if you are nearby. (Now by default you have pins of other players on your map after you login).

Hey.
So the can I get a little rundown on how the group config works?
We use your mod in a server and when the group is on "true", somehow everyone can see eachother.
Is it maybe because of General chat being a default group for everyone? Just assuming, but if that's it then can I ask you to look into it?
I appreciate your work.

On worldgen, server fails to load. Here is the first indicator something is wrong, and this only happens with this mod enabled. Note quite a crash report, this is pulled from server.main where the server then hangs indefinitely.

KenigVovan I appreciate you looking into it, I will take another look for compatiable pin removal mods. Cheers 😀

An_Sar

I think on moddb already exists mod to remove pins from map completelly

An_Sar, Sep 27th 2024 at 8:05 PM

KenigVovan I see that is interesting about minimum distance. I was essentially trying to disable map radar entirely.

KenigVovan , Sep 27th 2024 at 4:41 PM

An_Sar

Mod prevents server from sending information to other players if there is distance (selected by config now) therefore pins are not shown. But if they are close enough (I guess it's 192 blocks) some other  packets are sent by the game and pins are shown.

You need pins not to be displayed under that distance?

An_Sar, Sep 25th 2024 at 7:10 PM

Thank You for adding the config. Testing on my server it seems like the value is still using the default of 200 regardless of what is set in the config. Initially I was trying to set it to 0, but have tried other values also.

An_Sar, Sep 19th 2024 at 6:02 PM

Would you add a config to control the distance pins are visible? 🙏

Blury

try 1.0.5

Blury, Jun 4th 2024 at 4:03 PM

1: nobody can join as said error is printed on server console
2: every time
3: another thing that I noticed is that it causes client to download mods even tho it says 0 mods to download (happens after trying to connect again) 
it gets stuck on downloading nothing :D on server side it just shows that player has been disconnected
4. way too many to paste them in here 
5. 1.19.8

atm using Hide Player Pins that seems to be working without issues (even tho outdated)

KenigVovan , Jun 3rd 2024 at 4:12 PM

Blury

some additional info how to reproduce it would be useful. 

  1. Happened on join, exit, join of a different player...?
  2. Happens everytime or randomly?
  3. Any other condition which can lead to this you saw during this time?
  4. Mod list
  5. Game version

client side - players don't need to download it now, server side only mod

Nikwuh, Aug 26th 2023 at 7:28 AM

What exactly

  • set side to server means?
Nikwuh, Aug 22nd 2023 at 3:42 PM

KenigVovan i probably was thinking on something else, i typed wrong, sorry xd

I don't know what you mean with "not officially", but you're welcome

Nikwuh, Aug 22nd 2023 at 12:21 AM

Thanks for updating the mod!, your mod is officially being used on Atlas Civilizations, Thanks for making a well made mod :3
