The Main Idea was to show Paths or Railtracks on the Dynmap, as a small colored Line.
If you track the whole trail network for your server, then you can easily navigate through that network via the Dynmap to arrive quickly at your destination.
5 Elements, which you should know, before reading the following...
Element
Function
Style
Gives other elements a color, opacity and width.
Layer
Enables/disables contained elements on the Dynmap.
Path
Represents a line on the Dynmap.
Square
Represents an area on the Dynmap.
Link
Connects different paths and squares.
Features
Track your paths and squares, to display them on the Dynmap.
Create connections between paths and squares.
Color you paths, squares and links. Also set an opacity and width for them.
Sort your elements in different layers.
Many options for elements to display, for a better overview:
Name the elements.
Set, where a path comes from and where it goes to.
Display a list, with which Links the Path is connected, in chronological order.
Create elements with an easy-to-use setup:
Just start the setup.
The setup will request you, to type in the specific values.
The setup will also explain you, which effect the options have.
The setup will tell you, which values are valid.
Edit elements with an easy-to-use editor:
This works in the same way, as setups do. ;-)
Integrated Intro, which helps you understanding DynTrack:
The Intro will start automatically, after a while.
The Intro will NOT start, if you already have a path or a square.
If the Intro annoyes you anyway, then set your permission "dyntrack.info.intro.noauto" to "true"!
Commands & Permissions
There are only a few commands, to keep it simple. :)

We at geistlande.de are using this plugin for some years for quite a lot of tracks. It is still completely functional with Minecraft 1.12.2
There is, however, one little problem. Sometimes the plugin seems to lose connection to the MySQL Server. This is only a problem when recording new tracks and when the server already was running for a few hours.
We would be happy if this could be resolved some day. Message on the screen is as follows:
Could not save p25. This last packet successfully received from the server was 41.817.519 milliseconds ago. The last packet send to the server was 41.817.519 milliseconds ago,, is longer than the server configured value of 'wait_timeout'.
You should consider either expiring and/or testing connection validity before use in your application, increasing the server configured values for client timeouts, or using the Connector/J connection property 'autoReconnect=true' to avoid this problem.
I would love to use this on our TerraFirmaCraft server. However it doesn't seem to work. We are running KCauldron for Minecraft 1.7.10. I've tried the 1.9, 1.8.1 and 1.6.4 versions of Dyntrack.
We get the following error:

I am trying to get Dyntrack set up to show the safe paths through the nether from portal to portal. I used /dynmap create to make a style and layer, then I got through the path-making setup up until the point where it starts tracking. I walked along the first route I wanted to track but I can't get it to stop tracking and create the path. What is the command to make it stop tracking when I get to the end of the path?
Thanks (I love Dynmap and I think I'll love Dyntrack when I can figure it out).
your intentions sounds good! I guess you used /dyntrack instead of /dynmap to create styles and layers...
When the tracking process starts, you'll get a message in the chat, presenting the avaiable commands to you. You can use /dyntrack stop to stop/finish tracking. Also you're able to pause tracking temporary with /dyntrack pause, in order to interact with the enviroment, and later continue by /dyntrack continue.
If you like, i would add your server to the server list, so others can gain insight about DynTrack.
thanks for reporting this error.
It seems, as the line, where the command executor is set to react on "dynTr", is no longer needed or allowed. I'll fix that in the next version, but this will still take a while.
For now i can offer you a quick-fix-version, if you want to. Just PM me with your contact details.
Anyone else getting this? Is this plugin dead? Followed the instructions (except the first one which I find not useful for actually installing the mod).
Hi.
I guess it should be possible to display minecarts on the dynmap.
I may implement this in the next version, if i cannot find a different plugin handling this.
But it will also take some time to publish the next version of DynTrack, caused by RealLife.
hi,
may i ask if it would be possible to integrate a new feature in this plugin to show minecarts on dynmap?
running quite some kilometers on tracks with bytecart, but i never know, if theres an updater still on track, or if he finished his job allready.
also since we start to get unmaned fright trains, it would be nice to see their locations on the map.
so i can see that my cargo aint blocked somewhere and i have go to manually check all routes for the train.
If you want to see how the plugins works, just watch out the Serverlist.
You can visit directly the livemaps, using DynTrack. There is also a screenshot :-).
Throws Errors on 1.14.4
Same goes for "Guides" plugin.
@Insanej: You need to install the Guides Plugin from here: https://dev.bukkit.org/projects/guides?gameCategorySlug=bukkit-plugins&projectID=65846. This is documented here at the "installation" instructions.

Greetings from Germany,

The server is just a small one for me and my friends, but here is our map: http://mc.anterrobang.org:8123/
I used Dyntrack on our nether map to show how all our portals are connected, it's great!

Ah Odin freu mich schon aufs update! Meine Livemap und Member warten schon xD.
Bist auch TS mal wieder eingeladen^^
@crunkazcanbe
Sure.
Starting next weekend.
Where can I find your dynmap, without register on your website?
@OdinOxin can you update to 1.7.2 please man.
@XeonG8

not a single screenshot? :S
@MineFriends
Have you tried to use the intro?
Use /DynTrack Intro to open the ingame tutorial.
If this does not help you, i'll add you on Skype for direct support.
Unfortunately, i can't speak dutch. :-/
@OdinOxin
Can you make a Tutorial for me? Or add me on skype? : Twannie321 Please!
@mheiden
In the next Version, there will be a Guide, who introduce you into DynTrack.
But nevertheless you can make a Video-Tutorial, if you can.
@mheiden
The version 2.2b45 was just uploaded and is waiting for approveal.
The new version contains also an Intro into DynTrack.
