Signs - cannot make it work

[phoenix84pl]

Hi! I am glad that you added signs as we talked before, but I cannot make it work (I have newest version 2.2.0).

I use this command and it generates map, but without signs: minedmap ~/.minecraft/saves/L7490 ~/.cargo/git/checkouts/minedmap-6e2807b44b9bd227/b32bdb4/viewer/data --sign-prefix '[test]'

My sign says: [test] bla1 bla2

If you need screenshots, I can make them.

What am I missing?

Does viewer/data/entities.json contain any entries? Please also provide the generated viewer/data/info.json.

Unrelated to your issue, but I would highly recommend against writing anything to ~/.cargo/git - that place is for Cargo's use only. Just copy the viewer somewhere else to use it.

Hi!

Thx for help.

Json seems to be correct: {"signs":[{"x":-420,"y":110,"z":1241,"type":"sign","kind":"sign","material":"oak","front_text":[[{"text":"[test] bla1","color":"black"}],[{"text":"bla2","color":"black"}],[{"text":"","color":"black"}],[{"text":"","color":"black"}]]}]}

Map is still empty, what can be a reason?

I also test moving viewer to another destination.

Does the layer list in the viewer show the sign layer at all? If not, it may help to clear your browser cache.

Oh, I figured out what it going on. ~/.cargo/git/checkouts/minedmap-6e2807b44b9bd227/b32bdb4 is an old viewer version, b32bdb4 is just after v2.0.1. You need an up-to-date viewer - I recommend getting the version matching the generator from the Github releases page.

The version in ~/.cargo/git/checkouts exists because you installed a Git version of MinedMap at one point, but that is only because Cargo needs to download the whole Git sources somewhere - when using a proper release from crates.io, only the generator sources are downloaded, the viewer is not supposed to be downloaded by Cargo at all.

seems like a solution

hmmm, how to do that if "cargo install --git 'https://github.com/neocturne/MinedMap.git'" is not enough? ;)

[phoenix84pl]

PS. No layer in the map. Just illumination is available.

[neocturne]

The viewer is supposed to be downloaded here: https://github.com/neocturne/MinedMap/releases

[neocturne]

(I do intend to integrate the viewer with the generator eventually, this is tracked in #38 - but for now, just grab the viewer zip and unpack it)

[phoenix84pl]

OK. Now it is working perfectly. Thank you for your great job.

I will not make another "issue topic", but manual is not clear enough for me... :) Your job is really appreciated, but many tickets would not appear if manual was clear :).

Thanks once again!

Another issue with filters :)))

What i do: minedmap ~/.minecraft/saves/L7490 ~/Gry/Minecraft/minedMapViewer/checkouts/V7490/b32bdb4/viewer/data --sign-prefix '[test]' --sign-filter 's/[test]//'

What I get is this sign:

[neocturne]

You have mixed up --sign-filter and --sign-transform, with the latter it should work.

[phoenix84pl]

When I remove --sign-filter signs disappear from the map totally

[phoenix84pl]

OK. I made it... sorry... Is there a possibility to add --sign-transform example to readme? it would be idiot proof and will help the others :)

[phoenix84pl]

if somebody reads that in the future, this version works:

minedmap ~/.minecraft/saves/L7490 ~/Gry/Minecraft/minedMapViewer/checkouts/V7490/b32bdb4/viewer/data --sign-prefix '[Mapa]' --sign-transform 's/[Mapa]//'

[neocturne]

I have fixed the incorrect example in the README now.

[phoenix84pl]

Perfect!
