Wait for *all* players to receive the texture before using it. Previously this would wait for *any* player to receive the texture. This works fine in singleplayer (or on pre-5.5, where dynamic_add_media would block until all players have received the texture), but it may fail otherwise: Either entity textures won't be available in time, or, even worse, the HUD texture is unavailable. Both produce an error in chat for clients. |

X Maps
This mod adds map items that show terrain in HUD.
The HUD shows a player position & direction marker.
Treasure maps are like normal maps that show a red X.
Maps can be placed in the world on the sides of nodes.
In Minetest Game
A right click with a mapping kit creates a map of the area.
If you target a node, its position shows as a red X on a map.
With the X players can share coordinates or have treasure hunts.
X Maps API
You can use xmaps.create_map_item() to create a treasure map:
local itemstack = xmaps.create_map_item(pos, { draw_x = true })
Notes
xmaps is similar to mcl_maps, which is part of MineClone2.
All map items and placed maps have a TGA file in the metadata.
This enables items and placed maps to work in world downloads.
TODO
- Align mapped area with mapblocks (for better performance)
- Add support for mods with nodes that can show bitmaps
- Make it possible to wield map item in player hand
- Add more icons to represent the terrain better
- Make maps update while player is moving
- Make it possible to combine maps
