Orienteering

This mod adds several tools which mostly aid in orientation. When carrying them, this will enhance the HUD by adding several interesting information such as the coordinates or the viewing angles or enabling the use of the minimap.

Current version: 1.3

Mod support

All dependencies are optional.

There is an optional dependency on default from Minetest Game. It enables the use of crafting recipes.

There is an optional dependency on Achievements [awards] by rubenwardy. If both this mod and the default mod are enabled, the achievement “Master of Orienteering” will be added.

This mod includes item help texts for doc_items of the Documentation System modpack.

Tools

The orienteering tools are used automatically. To use them, you only need to have them somewhere in your hotbar. Most tools add information at the top section of your screen. The minimap is disabled by default, in this mod you have to acquire the proper tool first.

The following tools are available:

• Altimeter: Shows height (Y)
• Triangulator: Shows X and Z coordinates
• Compass: Shows yaw (horizontal angle)
• Sextant: Shows pitch (vertical angle)
• Watch: Shows the time (hours and minutes)
• Speedometer: Shows speed in m/s (1 m = side length of a single cube)
• Automapper: Enables the usage of the minimap and radar (F7 key by default)
• GPS device: Shows X, Y, Z coordinates, yaw and time
• Quadcorder: Combination of everything above: Shows X, Y, Z coordinates, pitch, yaw, time, speed and enables minimap/radar

To toggle between 12h and 24h mode for the displayed time, wield any device which is capable of displaying the time and press the left mouse button.

Configuration

Recommendations

Note that in Minetest, it is also possible to access the coordinates, angles, etc. through the debug menu, but this would be generally considered cheating as this defeats the purpose of this mod. Try to resist this urge.

To avoid accidentally enabling debug display with a key press, you can add the following line into your minetest.conf:

keymap_toggle_debug = 

HUD text position

The text position can be configured by using Minetest's settings system. See the advanced settings menu for more information.
