[MISC/INFO] Dynmap-Factions v0.17 - Display Factions territories on Dynmap maps [1.2.4-R1.0]

Version 0.17

Current Release
Latest stable and unstable builds
Source Code
Wiki

Supported versions:

• Dynmap v0.36 or later
• Factions v1.6.7 or later

Dynmap-Factions provides a simple way to add visibility of Faction territories on Dynmap's maps. The plugin depends on the presence of both Dynmap and Factions, and interacts directly with the Factions API. Updates to territories are automatically processed (on a settable period - default is once per 5 minutes (300 seconds)). By default, the plugin will be active after simply installing it (by unzipping the distribution into the plugins/ directory and restarting the server).

Territories of any shape are supported, and a proper outline border is computed and displayed that will encompass all the contiguous blocks of a given faction territory (limitation - 'holes' in the middle of a territory may still be shaded to look like part of the territory). Clicking on the territory will display a popup with a configurable set of data on the town.

Dynmap-Factions will also show configurable icons for the home location for each faction.

Visibility of regions can be controlled via the 'visibleregions' and 'hiddenregions' settings. Besides listing the names of the regions to be made visible or hidden, entries with the format 'world:<worldname>' can be used to make all regions on a given world visible or hidden.

Also, the display of the region outlines can be restricted to a minimum zoom-in level, via the 'minzoom' setting. When non-zero, this setting causes the region outlines to only be displayed at or beyond the given zoom-in level.
Note: If you are currently using the region component for Factions in Dynmap, you should disable that support while installing Dynmap-Factions.


Configuration:
After the first load, there will be a config.yml file in the plugins/Dynmap-Factions directory. Details of the default configuration, and all the provided settings, can be found here

Change Log:

• 0.17 - Update to CB 1.2.4-R1.0
• 0.16 - Update to CB 1.1 event system (1.1-R5 READY)
• 0.15 - Fix format of member list - will wrap properly in popup
• 0.14 - Update for Factions 1.6.5c
• 0.13 - Update to fix break due to API change in Factions 1.6.3
• 0.12 - Add 'minzoom' setting to hide outlines below given zoom in level; add 'world:<worldname>' option for 'visibleregions' and 'hiddenregions'
• 0.11 - Fixes for outline calculation: should fix some issues with seeing complex regions
• 0.10 - Initial Release

Great When we release Factions version 1.7 I might be able to help update this using pull-requests.

That'd be super! I'd appreciate a simple method for the Board class to get the block data in a fashion better suited for what I need (basically all the block coordinates, but organized by faction, then by world within the faction) - the existing call I'm using is for your persistence format (which is faction, by coordinate, by world), and I'm concerned about the performance of having to convolve the data. Even just having a call to access the map of blocks, or just produce a list of them would be cool. Other thing that would be very cool is for you guys to kick our one or more custom events that I could monitor to know when the map has changed, or faction attributes have changed (so that polling isn't needed, or isn't needed as frequently).

Yeah. We should use a more event driven design. You are right. I'll PM you my skype.

I get this

Check that your dynmap is at least v0.25.

Found a minor bug that is actually in dynmap itself. The specifics are that more complicated outlines (ones with lots of corners) may, at some zoom levels, be improperly 'smoothed' - that is, some corners may be dropped to simplify the shape. Its a behavior of the library we use (Leaflet) that I failed to disable. The latest dynmap dev build has a fix (0.26), or you can apply the following one line patch to line 107 of dynmap/web/js/markers.js:

Code:

var style = { color: area.color, opacity: area.opacity, weight:  area.weight, fillOpacity: area.fillopacity, fillColor: area.fillcolor };

becomes

Code:

var style = { color: area.color, opacity: area.opacity, weight:  area.weight, fillOpacity: area.fillopacity, fillColor: area.fillcolor,  smoothFactor: 0.0 };

How do I access and edit what Flags are shown by %flags% in the infowindow?

I'd very much like to remove the showing of open, peaceful etc and make it show allies and enemies instead.

Greetings,

I'm running Dynmap version 0.27-657, Factions 1.6.2 and Dynmap-Factions .11 .

When I bring up the server map, I see flags on it for the faction location, but I do not see any colored borders for factions or for safe zones.

I have used the default config file with dynmap-factions and do not have region component for Factions in Dynmap. I have no errors when my server starts up.

I dont get a dynmap faction directory or config.yml when i load at the first time i use 1.1 is that why?

You've got both dynmap and Dynmap-Factions, right? It doesn't initialize until it sees both of its dependencies (Factions and the base 'dynmap'). I've got dynmap 0.29.2 and Factions 1.6.1 running on the current CB 1.1 build (1728).

Same problem here except CB#1769, Dynmap-Factions (tried .12 and .13), Dynmap 0.29.2-719, Factions 1.6.2.
Thoughts?

Mine actually started working shortly after I posted this. There was no issue and it was working fine.

We took it out because players did not like the attention it brought to each faction area.

hello there,
i am getting following error with dynmap-factions 0.13 and the latest release of factions 1.6.3
and cb#1791

I think it's caused by rewritten sorting methods. Same here and waiting for update. Keep doing great work

Looks awesome! How exactly does it work... Is there a command or a button...?

im having this issue as well, can you at least confirm if there is a known issue Mike Primm?
looks like a great plugin by the way keep it up!

@Mike Primm So, I have Dynmap 0.29.2, Factions 1.6.3, and Dynmap-Factions 0.12.

First off, I am not getting any console errors.

The only variables I have changed (and I triple checked by reinstalling) are: Port on Dynmap, Economy settings on Factions.

It has now been 8 hours since I last installed it, and the server has been running for the duration. The Factions layer is checkable, however nothing is shown. Is there another variable I need to change in Dynmap?

This was the error with Dynmap-Factions v0.12 - I cannot produce it with 0.13, and the given line number doesn't have that call in 0.13, so please confirm that you're running with 0.13 (server log messages).

There was a screw up on our repository - the release build didn't wind up on the repository, so the link to 0.13 was bad. I'm updating it now - please download again and try the new file.

could u tell me, is this a problem of a config or the plugin self?

alright everything seems to work but there no layer near the flag. so cant really see what area, the faction owns.

got the same error, I deinstalled both and installed them again, so it shouldnt be the config.

how do you open the map?
