Player Locations

Overview

Player Locations is similar to other player marker plugins, but allow the commands "/hide" and "/unhide" so players may choose if their location shows up on the world map. Their status will still be available, though their coordinates will not be. In order for this plugin to be fully effective, a mapping plugin / application, modifications to the index.html, and the included javascript file are required. I use overviewer for my mapping software.

Features

• Output player locations in JSON format

Configuration

• outputFile (default: "map/markers.json") the destination JSON file
• updateInterval (default: 3000) the milliseconds between update checks

Installation

• To install the plugin, just simply place the jar in the plugins directory.
• Copy the player_markers.js file to the web directory where the index.html file is located
• Modify the index.html of your world map to include:

<script type="text/javascript" src="player_markers.js"></script>

Alternatively use the index.html file included. There are additional features such as a list of currently online players.

Commands

• hide <player> Hides a player's location on the world map. If no player is specified, the current player is used. Only ops and the console may hide others
• unhide <player> Unhides a hidden player's location on the world map. If no player is specified, the current player is used. Only ops and the console may unhide others.

Bugs

This is still not world dependent, though instead of incorrectly showing players on the overworld map, their corresponding overworld coordinates are used. (A way to turn a bug into a feature :))
