I looking forward to a Minimap plugin, which is for Spout. So many users wanna switch to Spout/Spoutcraft only server, but so much player miss a Minimap (Zan's Minimap). So i lookig for a developer, who would develope a plugin, that is server-side to give the Spoutcraft users an ability for a minimap
Also, you spelt REQ wrong in your signature, this is the wrong section, and the guy in your avatar is scary!
Thx, now i can better sleep tonight . Helloween! Not really, do don't know Captain Hero don't have the know-how, but i search for a plugin, which can be used like SPITEMS, SpoutFlight and so on...They were used as normal plugin, which using and needed Spout for working. Maybe "server-side" was wrong sayed. How are the abilities a the moment? Will it blend if the plugin would use the SpoutAPI?
http://www.usingenglish.com/forum/ask-teacher/101-wrong-wrongly-spelled-spelt.html I couldn't resist.
It would be used as a spoutcraft addon (sort of a plugin for spoutcraft, not spout) The server will just automatically download the plugin to spoutcraft, which will do the rest BUT addons aren't ready yet
There's already at least one addon project I know of started for a minimap - don't forget that the addon API isn't finished yet, so it will take a little time...
As Rycochet said, the addons API is not finished because quality coding takes time. The Spout server-side API allows you to do some things, but generally wouldn't be as efficient as creating GUI and such client-side instead of relying on the server to create those on the client.
The plan is before the end of the year. I'm sure you'll be able to use it before then though, but it may not be 100% functional.
Fully support this, my server, Super-Earth, believes mini-maps are evil and for hacking. Maybe this will show them it is fine when spout has it within it's arsenal, and how the walls will be crumbling down when the member's cries grow louder to bring forth this work.
There's a WIP (working) minimap addon for Spoutcraft now - http://forums.getspout.org/threads/wip-bminimap.123/ - uses the latest dev builds and all that, but does look good and is getting some nice work done by @codename_B
... and Afforess forked it already, spicing it up to his liking, called "Palantir" *g*. Anyhow, bMiniMap works better for me, as Palantir's map is somewhat rugged in appearence.
