The Map Mod (Optimization Update!)

[Xeridox]

Well I've been working on this for a couple weeks now and after much learning, testing, bug stomping and hair pulling I finally managed to get a basic map mod up and running.

It's not 100% perfect, but should at least help you find your way around the world, until the devs make a better one. :)

To view the map you simply enter /map into chat.

Not all of the map will appear at first...as SM only loads a certain distance around you...but as you explore the world, the map will generate and store its data, as you would expect.

Fair warning, there could still be a bug or two, and I've yet to test it in multiplayer but it should work just fine.

Also, if you need to reinstall SM and you don't want to lose your map, be sure to back up the maps folder. You can find it in Scrap Mechanic/Survival/Scripts/game.

Best to backup the whole folder, because there's another file inside that keeps up with all the maps.

EDIT: Now better optimized! It now saves its data when you open the map and every 5 minutes, instead of when each cell loads.

It's amazing how quickly a post will travel to like page 5 after I post it lol...wish the devs would make a pin for survival mods.

Anyway, I will post an image of the map soon...atm I'm updating my other mods to SM 0.4.6.

I'm having small but constant legs after installing the map. It's a very good mod, but with the lags its no fun playing. I'll have to delete it

I get lag quite a bit out of SM anyway...it may be the fact that it stores map data everytime the game loads a cell. Check and see if it only lags when you move or not. I will look into this anyway though and see if I can optimize the code. :)

Updated and better optimized! It now saves its data when you open the map and every 5 minutes, instead of when each cell loads. Also added an image to the first post.
