advmarkers

A marker/waypoint CSM for Minetest, designed for use with the marker mod.

To display markers, the server currently needs the marker mod installed, otherwise "command not found" errors will be displayed, as CSMs cannot currently create HUDs on their own.

How to use

advmarkers introduces the following chatcommands:

• .mrkr: Opens a formspec allowing you to display or delete markers.
• .add_mrkr: Adds markers. You can use .add_mrkr x,y,z Marker name to add markers. Markers are (currently) cross-server, and adding a marker with (exactly) the same name as another will overwrite the original marker. If you replace x,y,z with here, the marker will be set to your current position, and replacing it with there will set the marker to the last .coords position.
• .mrkr_export: Exports your markers to an advmarkers string. Remember to not modify the text before copying it.
• .mrkr_import: Imports your markers from an advmarkers string (.mrkr_import <advmarkers string>). Any markers with the same name will not be overwritten, and if they do not have the same co-ordinates, _ will be appended to the imported one.
• .mrkrthere: Sets a marker at the last .coords position.

If you die, a marker is automatically added at your death position, and will update the last .coords position.

Chat channels integration

advmarkers works with the .coords command from chat_channels (GitHub, GitLab), even without chat channels installed. When someone does .coords, advmarkers temporarily stores this position, and you can set a temporary marker at the .coords position with .mrkrthere, or add a permanent marker with .add_mrkr there Marker name.
