We are now testing a feature which allows members to add little icons on the map to mark important locations. When you mouse over the icon, a small descriptive title will be visible
As an example, I want to make a marker at the Shopping District area. So I use the
/dmarker add command
The 2 main pieces of information you need to enter for this are the description (name) and the icon that will display on the map.
I want to call it something simple, like "Shopping District" and I just used the diamond icon in dynmap.
So I type /dmarker add "Shopping District" icon:diamond Please note the format! The title has to have quotes around it and the icon
needs to start with icon:
Now I refresh my browser where I had the map loaded and I see
If I made a mistake, like spelling something wrong or put it in the wrong area, I would just type:
/dmarker delete "Shopping District"
You don't need to enter the icon name to delete, but the rest needs to be exact, case-sensitive and with quotes. Once it is deleted you can re-enter it with the right info. Obviously, you should treat other peoples' icons like their builds and not mess with them. Problems should be reported to mods.
As you may have noticed, the available icons are listed down below.
IMPORTANT: Naming Rules
Please use proper capitalization and spelling or the marker will be removed without notice. Especially long names will also be removed. Please keep it simple.
Also only 1 marker per player unless its community build.
So here are the steps you need to do to add a marker:
1. Go to the place you want to mark
2. Decide on a name and icon. If it is for a home, you can skip the icon.
3. Type /dmarker add "name" icon:icon-name (Don't forget the quotes and icon name :)
4. Refresh your internet browser and check that the icon showed up correctly. If it didn't show up correctly, do /dmarker delete "name" and start over.
Note: For most buildings, but especially tall ones, you will get better results if you are standing in the center of the bottom of the structure!
A more detailed tutorial is available from dynmap https://github.com/webbukkit/dynmap/wiki/Using-markers
Keep in mind that you only have the ability to use /dmarker add/delete This is to keep things as simple as possible while we see how people like the feature.
Also, these permissions are not available in spectator mode. This is because players who are not yet members can join spectator mode and could potentially grief the markers.
Questions should go to Moonknight888, but any question that is answered in this tutorial will be ignored for a few days :)
