Simply Gate Compasses

Description
changes gate icons to have a compass arrow on them so you can tell which way they lead. based on a similar concept by lyravega.

USAGE:
- install the mod and enable it (duh)
- find a gate
- look at its icon on its targeting reticle. it should tell you in one of the 16 cardinal directions it goes

KNOWN BUGS:
- none yet.

SUSPECTED ISSUES:
- compatibility with rinart73 and lyravega's original mod, as well as the Gate Founder mod. looking for feedback on this one.

The mod seems to be missing the line:
local SectorSpecifics = include ('sectorspecifics')
In ancientgate.lua. Without it the game is giving me a nil value error.

by design it's clientside-only

Any way to make this client side?

hmm... i'll change the method it's using to determine gate direction...

Hi, I have a problem in the German game with this mod because the name for the gate in your mod is translated. This makes the file paths no longer fit and the image can not be loaded. Only a large black and yellow square is displayed. For example, NE in German becomes NO and thus the icon can no longer be found.

I see in your code also no use in translating these strings.

not publishing mods for beta. i'm getting em ready but i wont be publishing until 2.0 releases, at which point that will be the only version I support for all my mods. you SHOULD be able to force-enable mods on a case by case basis in your client.

It should be perfectly safe to bump the version to 2.0.*

I just looked at this mod code, oh my... forget what I said.

After 2.0 there is a change regarding how the game determines if a gate can be docked or not at the gate.lua code that this mod uses, here's what changed: https://i.imgur.com/qDnobFQ.png

I don't know if you plan to update this mod for the beta or not, if not I'd like to have permission to set up an alternative workshop mod with that change fixed until you update this.

Thanks for getting back to me - its too bad I don't own the server - If you were to post .1. on a separate upload all I would need to do is change the file id to match this one in theory.
