Pathfinder for Nexus

RocketCat

Hello again everyone!

Here's another Nexus package for you. I renovated Iniar's Nexus pathfinder for Achaea for Starmourn. Now you can pathfind including station transfers, voidgates, and ptps, yay! Elevators work too, but I haven't implemented many of them yet. The pathfinder is aware of jogging and nano rush.

RF <search> to Room Find vNums by the room's title

PG <vNum> path to a vNum.

PG <alias> a bunch of pre-fab aliases for AREAS ALL and main stations exist. Not incredibly complete yet.

Khayrat, Bakal, and Ixodon for some reason do not exist in IRE's XML,, so I just included 3 dummy rooms to correspond to their transport rooms.

CORS-anywhere is pretty hit-and-miss, unfortunately Nexus' CORS policy does not extend to the map URL, so it will have to be CORS-anywhere in the meantime. If you're a dev and reading this, a CORS policy for the map URL would be great!

Small bug fix. Clickable links for 'pg' alias should now work properly.

Another update:

- The Mapper now knows about the Zeta Deck PTP updates. If you're Scatterhome the PTP should pathfind using key ptp. If you're not Scatterhome, it should pathfind with TAKEOFF.

   - Note that there is one bug currently where you can't travel from Whittler's to Zeta via PTP. I assume this is a bug with Starmourn so I've just left it unresolved in the Pathfinder. In the interim, if the pathfinder gets screwed up by this, just KEY PTP to another spot manually and the pathfinding should carry on.

    - If for some reason the mapper does not correctly determine that you are Scatterhome, type 'mapperforcescatterhome'.

- While pathfinding you will now station transfer immediately upon leaving combat, in case you've been refused admittance to a transfer craft because you are in combat.

- Pathfinder will try to open doors now.

- Pathfinder will try to LAND now if you're trying to move from outdoors to indoors.

For some reason I can't edit the OP so here's the link:

Wanna CLASS SWITCH? The pathfinder now knows about the Omni class transports, and you can now PG <fury|engi|nano|beast|scoundrel>.

More updates!

Since you can double click rooms on the Nexus map to pathfind there, I integrated this with this pathfinder rather than with the in-game one, so happy clicking around to zip across the map. Additionally, I found the on-hover tooltips annoying since they interfere with this. Therefore, the tooltips no longer appear. If you want to toggle this behaviour, type MAPUSEMAPPER.

The pathfinder will now crash if normal movement does not work. It's a bit messy but it works. You'll want to be careful if you have any triggers that send/resend crashes. You can always toggle this behaviour with MAPUSECRASHING.

Finally, I've made the pg <alias> command accessible to the front-end. You can now:

   - MAPALIASES: Display the current map aliases.

   - MAPALIAS SET <alias> <here|#>: Create or update an existing alias to either a vNum or to your current room. Just PG <alias> to return!

   - MAPALIAS DELETE <alias>: Delete an alias.

   - MAPALIAS SEARCH <filter>: Search for a map alias.

This is the greatest F'ing thing to happen to IRE since mudbot, thank you for all that you do for this community. ✨ As an exploration aficionado, I use and love this mapper.

Hey As of just today I'm getting a "[map] Error downloading https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/https://www.starmourn.com/maps/map.xml."

It looks like the server is throwing a 404 for the map url? So I'm assuming it's not on your end, but figured I'd bring it up in case you know a work around.

I installed your most recent version yesterday and it worked, but as a sanity check I tried two of the earlier versions listed here, neither of them worked either.


EDIT: Huh, nevermind. It seems to have fixed itself ~45 minutes later.

Indeed yes this is an intermittent problem with cors-anywhere which occasionally strikes and there's not much we can do about it but wait.

Ibo

In the event that cors-anywhere is down, there are a few workarounds that are pretty convenient once you've set up for the first time. I use Web Server for Chrome which is a user-friendly Chrome add-in that you can use to host the map locally:

1. Download the map: www.starmourn.com/maps/map.xml 
2. Open Web Server add-in
3. Point to directory map is in
4. Click "Advanced Options" and click "Set CORS headers".
5. Finally in nexus go to "_map_init", set map.useCors = false, and change URL to your local webserver URL.

Love pathfinder! 

RocketCat

Works like a charm!

People have been having issues with the workaround posted by Ibo, so here are more instructions:

Install the following add-in into Chrome:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/web-server-for-chrome/ofhbbkphhbklhfoeikjpcbhemlocgigb?hl=en

Go to starmourn.com/maps/map.xml and download that page's contents and put it in a folder.

Open the add-in. Keep the default Web Server URL. CHOOSE FOLDER and point to the directory your map.xml is in. I like "Run in Background" and "Start on Login". Port should be 8887. "Show Advanced Settings" and enable "Set CORS Headers".

I will release an update shortly so that, if cors-anywhere fails, it will try 127.0.0.1:8887/map.xml automatically without you having to edit the package!

And here is the updated package! Also added new Seanan connection.

Known issue with the above workaround:

You may have to hit -m again after it runs a first time for it to load properly. Haven't figured out why yet.

RocketCat

Tysandr cloned hte original cors-anywhere and the script has been updated to use that. So it works now without the workaround being discussed.
