VS LiveMap Revival

Chumber yeah it's using the API originally made by Billy, which I'm assuming has gone down now. I've started work on doing avatar generation in-mod but to be able to handle playermodels created by mods I gotta do actual rendering code and it's been a pain lol

HaraiseTenshi I'll have to look into it. Hytale's launch has somewhat sidetracked me with work related stuff.

Seems like the translocators are still not working. Can't select the layer (I am guessing it would show where traders are as well)

Specifically walked through a Translocator and did a reload of the webpage still no Translocator showing.

Something seems to have broken as of last night-- everyone in my server is shown on the map as bald default models for their avatar. Not sure if it's an SSL cert issue or something, but I noticed the URL to the player icons has invalid https creds. 

Is there a way the avatar generation portion of the mod can be moved off an external resource and run on the same server/as part of the mod?

mja00 I'm having the same issue as @DocBees , I run the command and it just says requesting etc, however I'm the op on the server. Any suggestions?

Rikun82 if you click on the translocator marker it should move your map to the corresponding translocator. But yeah I think I wanna add lines too. 

Thanks mja00!

I'd like to give a suggestion. Would it be possible to add a layer that shows lines connecting the portals to each other? This way, it's much easier and faster to visualize the routes of each portal, instead of having to look up the coordinates, write them down, move the map to a region, and keep moving the cursor around the map to find the portal that corresponds to the coordinates.

Seems like the server map changed back to spring colors before winter ended in game. 

Also, I don't think it ever changed the color pallette for areas I didn't re-visit during winter. 

@gNecrOz 

Needs to be on the server and client, if you're not running as single player. 

So mja00 I think the issue I am having... is I do not feel like my VS is even readin that the mod is there?

which is strange. I am on 1.21.5, I have it in my Server

Server Files

Client Files

I am running the VS launcher and for server debugging I am running GI map So I am really not sure... when I try to run the command /livemap colormap I get the 

No such command exists.

so I am kind of at a loss?

DocBees make sure you have admin on your server or the server will reject the colormap. I should probably do more error messaging. 

Tried to run the colormap command and it just says "Requesting colormap from client" with nothing else after that. It is installed on both Server and Client side

gNecrOz I don't see why it wouldn't work. I mostly set it to 1.21.6 as a fresh slate kinda thing. As for the IP situation. The mod attempts to bind to any IP it can get. If that doesn't work and you need to bind to a specific IP you can do so in the config under the httpd and bindAddress option. If you reach out to your host they'll know their networking setup better. 

Will this be okay running on 1.21.5? I do not think much changed radically between them,

Just wanted clarity though ^_^

Sidenote: utitilzing a server hosting company, Creeper Host specifically, you do not get a true "IP" with them,

any thoughts?

DejFidOFF looks to be pretty easy. I'll add it in the next update. 

mja00

Hello o/ How possible will be add feature when click on the player to center and zoom on the location where he is?

Will test once i'm done playing my current session, thanks :3

Rikun82 and Nitrometan I've fixed the translocator layer in 0.1.9. 

Rikun82  Nitrometan Yeah I've realized the entire codebase for translocators is commented out or marked with a TODO, other than the boilerplate for it showing on the ui. It's next on my chopping block of things to fix. In theory it shouldn't be too bad. 

Feedback: For some reason, the translocator markers are not appearing on the online map, even when set to TRUE in the modconfig.

@mja00 I just installed the mod on my server hosted on Bisect Hosting and it worked perfectly! I was using port 8080, but the server support team explained how to adjust the port in the config and showed me the ports I already have open. I just had to replace the unconfigured 8080 with the available port and boom! Everything is running!

I don't know what else you plan to do with it, but the mod is amazing and running SMOOTHLY! I've wanted a mod like this on my server for a long time! Thank you!

Thanks for the revival. I suppose the TLs are still not implemented, or, is there a documentation for this to get this layer to show TLs ? Never seen it working even on Billy's original demo (which was ahead of the moddb release as well).

MRGOOSE done! 

could Cartographer mod shared waypoints be compatible with this and shown on the map as a new layer?

This is wonderful. The only thing I'd want that's left now is shareable waypoints, maybe with toggles for who they belong to in the sidebar.

StrayFox It'll depend on host. Essentially you just need to be able to use a port alongside the server's main port. Some host require you to contact them to open up a port, some let you do it from the panel, some have all ports open. Best to chat in with them as they'll know. Just let them know you need a 2nd port and/or send them the mod's link. 

Is this possible with a paid server host? Or is this just for personal server hosting? Can't seem to get it to work with my paid hosting service.

masingbackstage I did fix this starting in 0.1.7 (which I just released), sending a colormap will now trigger a full render. Appreciate the comment :D 

@mja00, yeah you are right, that fixed the issue, thanks!

masingbackstage you'll probably want to do /livemap fullrender first. Editing and new chunks are queued for render and then when the server auto saves, that way we're not constantly re-rendering chunks all the time. 

Hi mja00!

Thanks for all the contributions, it feels like a much better alternative to WebCartographer with its live capabilities. However, I have one issue (probably my fault lol). Even though my map is much bigger than what's rendered on the site, WebMap only shows spawn chunks. Any idea what might be wrong? Even when I enter the area outside LiveMaps scope it still does not update (player position is shown correctly).

Edit:
When using /livemap colormap I get Colormap sent successfully (12 chunks)

mja00 Figured out the issue. I had 0.1.0 installed on my client, since my mod updater wasnt picking up on the version difference. After updating it worked.

Tyeia First make sure you have the mod installed on your client as well, as it has to use your client to generate the colormap and then upload it to the server. It should log as its sending the colormap up in chunks. 

Any chance of adding more log entries to the colormap generation? Ran /livemap colormap after the update and nothing happens after the "Received colormap request from server". Not sure if the colormap is exceptionally large and takes a long time to generate or whether something is not working. Was trying to look at logs to figure out what the problem was and didn't see anything.

mja00 thank you very much for all the quick fixes

Jurry0503 I implemented the toggles for the specific renderers to the web UI. 

DeeTales According to the source code, it's your servers IP or hostname with port 8080 by default. You might want to configure it in case you're using a paid hoster with a shared IP address.

DejFidOFF And btw do you know about the issue when original livemap was installed and conflicted with From Golden Combs mod?

Unsure if the conflict still exists but I can definitely test. I know currently we conflict with Ancestral Bliss Shaders mod that I'm actively attempting to figure out a workaround for. 



Tyeia hmm, shocked it would be that big but I guess if you have mods that add a LOT of content it could be large. I'll have to take a look to see if we can upload the colormap in chunks to get around a size issue. 

mja00

Hello o/ Thank you for your efford. After this mod settle little bit I will try to switch over from old livemap to this one.

And btw do you know about the issue when original livemap was installed and conflicted with From Golden Combs mod?

Tossed an issue on the tracker. Tried running /livemap colormap with an apparently large colormap, server booted me with the following error:

"2.1.2026 07:18:41 [Server Notification] Client (IP) disconnected, too large packet of 1047845 bytes received"

propaneko oops, added that to the description. 

To not be confused please try to name your mod files with version like "LiveMap_0.0.1" etc. Thank you for taking over, it is a great livemap! I could check the code and maybe help a little.

Also add to description that you need to put this mod both on server and on the client if you want to send "colormap" command on the dedicated server.

MonAmour actually there does appear to be a bug where we're only marking chunks as ready to be rendered when they're dirtied (aka built in) and not when they're freshly loaded. I've got a fix in the works that'll queue a chunk for rendering when its loaded so they show up as you're exploring. 

Jurry0503 0.1.2 fixes up that UI bug with the markers

MonAmour I can't say i have that issue did you do a full render?

So awesome that it works in the first place but the livemap seems to stop rendering anything past 1000 blocks from spawn

Jurry0503 yeah, definitely on my list to fix. Currently getting the major bugs fixed, modernizing the codebase a little, and getting unit tests working as a top priority. 

mja00 Thank you so much for the quick fix.
I really hope to see the other things i pointed out in my first comment to be fixed but no rush, i am just happy that it works now

Jurry0503 try out the 0.1.1 version. I swapped out HTTP server libraries and this one binds properly on windows for me. 

mja00 i tried that and now the webserver doesn't want to start anymore so i undid it, i hope you can fix it on your end.

For others that tried the command and don't know how to undo it, here is how: "netsh http delete urlacl url=http://+:8080/"

Jurry0503 yeah for some reason Windows gets really annoying about binding things. I may be able to swap away form the ACL'd HttpListener and roll my own TcpListener stack to get around it. For now you can in theory use netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:8080/ user=Everyone in an admin cmd/terminal and that should allow the mod to bind to a wildcard. It shouldn't be too hard for me to swap to raw TCP listening and handle HTTP myself, as it is just a static webserver. 

The mod seems to block everything other than "localhost:8080". I can't proxy it via cloudflare or get it to do anything within the same network (192.168.x.x:8080) changing to url to someting else doesn't work and changing the port to something other than 8080 also seems to break it.
In the UI it seems to make a lot of markers without a name and icon.
in the features list you metioned Basic and Sepia but you can only change it by editing the url, or am i missing a button?

Other than my issue's i find this mod to work better than WebCartographer because i can't get WebCartographer to load while playing the game and it takes more time to load, so being able to play while it loads is amazing.

I am hosting this on singleplayer and opening it to lan.

after seeing your post 1 min ago i am playing/hosting on windows 11

DeeTales by default it'll bind to whatever IP is available on the machine and port 8080. Although on Windows there's issues binding outside of localhost currently. 

mynametimmy yeah I think there's some stale/bad code from before the full refactor that has broken binding to all interfaces. Gonna look into it today. 

Seems to have not started the webserver properly. I get an error saying "Internal webserver has failed to start", going to the link via /livemap doesn't seem to have the map.

What's the URL and port to access the app?
