I am aware of this, and it is definitely planned. Currently working on changing some stuff around, so that the crazy saving/ loading issue doesn't occur again, so then I can focus on that, without breaking everyone's waypoints on accident.

ah yes,
my friends and i had quite a difficult time trying to all meet in the same spot where we planned to build
the waypoints would disappear during our constant deaths :')

That already exists. Its in the settings menu, should be called "Make death points" with a check box.

Honestly, the only feature I would like is being able to manually set one with coordinates. Since I found no way of doing that, I unloaded the mod. :(

Could you add cyrillic letters support for waypoints names?

Great work. But ... I suggest:

Option (global?) to fade out (using transparency?) of waypoints if you are to far away. Parameter MAX specifies when transparency is 0.

Ok. Let's get a little deeper into this ...

Additional Combobox to select between a category of Waypoint:

Base
Cave
Landmark (for example safe landing spots, ...)

Therefore if you are to far away only the icon will be show.

The ability to self (the player self) track and quick share with the entire tribe, also the toggle option to auto waypoint newly discovered explorer notes.

The ability for admin to disable F3-tagging unaligned living things is desirable. For example, I would like people to only be able to track tribemates and tames. Even though I'm not running PvP, people would prefer if others couldn't silently become able to follow them anywhere.

Hey

brilliant mod

I'd like the ability to add a waypoint and specify the cordinates. but I dont know how on earth you would work out the Z coordinate

having some way to choose a dino to be tracked would be very useful for finding lost ones. so maybe like the taming tracker that WC added to select a tamed dino to find

Id also like the death waypoints to be on as default (or have an INI config to set the default). I think that may be more intuitive to players

Yes, i'm fully aware that people want INI stuff and, I have an idea of how specifying coords will work, but may not be perfect. I have also thought of have a similar tracking UI, to track currently alive/ tamed dinos. I plan to have all these suggestions built into a future "Better Waypoints V2" mod, since this current mod, looks like it runs well, but my code would disagree...

Great mod! As a suggestion from someone who has too many waypoints, might you consider adding the ability to group waypoints and then show or hide the entire group?
