Memorizable Location

[boholder]

Inspired by game Lost and Hound in this video and famous Set Homes (/sethome, /home) and Residence (/res) server plugins, also thanks to NiShuang for this idea.

Memorizable Location

Users can set a list of special locations (positions and areas) with meaningful words and descriptions like home, village_on_cliff.

• Teleporting Generating teleport command for given locations
• Speak when entering/leaving areas
• Play sound effect (near the player) in the direction of given location, lead users move towards that location.
  • Play it intermittently? (toggle to start/stop)
  • Continuous play while users pressing the key? (switch current target with command)
  • Set wildcards (like ?, * in Unix Shell) like all, latest to represent contextually relevant targets.
  • Allow users to custom sound effects (while setting position/area)?

Will add a bunch of commands (yeah, this feature is suitable for it) and keys.

Key design:

• Hot keys for frequently used commands: K -> Play sound in direction of <selected location>
• Or freely configurable command slots: K -> /maloc play <selected location> (/maloc for abbreviation of minecraft access location command)

High Level Combination

• Users can combine a set of positions as one meaningful location, and these positions will response to user listening (continuous pressing the key) at same time as a whole.
• Combine with i j k l directional keys to provide a new way of location selection similar to other (open world) games with large area maps (x,z coordinate ordering).

can this be improved to, instead of pressing one button to listening to the sound make it continuous? There's an audio game called Swamp (https://www.[kaldobsky.com/ssl/audiogames.php](https://www.kaldobsky.com/ssl/audiogames.php) Where you can use a set of hotkeys (shift 1 through 0 if I remember correctly) which after pressing some of those shortcuts, a sound begins to play. That sound is continuous and it becomes faster if you are near the location or slower wen you are far. perhaps that can be applicable there. There's another example on the audiogame called a hero's call (http://outofsightgames.com/a-heros-call/) where you can select from a list the available places where you can go and after selecting them, a continuous sound begins to play, telling the player what direction they need to go until reach the location.

Thanks for the detailed advice!

after pressing some of those shortcuts, a sound begins to play. That sound is continuous and it becomes faster if you are near the location or slower wen you are far.

Good idea, expressing proximity to a target in terms of frequency of sound can add another layer of information in addition to direction.

select from a list the available places where you can go and after selecting them, a continuous sound begins to play

I think it's better to use auto-completion mechanism for commands to accomplish this "iterator list" feature.

until reach the location.

Yeah, will take this into account.
