Hiking GPS
A handheld GPS you find in a suitcase and carry: a live map of the mountain on its screen, with markers for chests, campfires, statues and animals. Client side.Changelog
1.1.0
The GPS is a thing you find and carry.
- A real item. The device turns up in beach luggage (
Rareby default), and is picked up, carried in both hands, dropped, thrown, pocketed and hung on a backpack like any other item. The map is on its screen, and only while it is in your hands: put it away and it goes dark, take it out and it wakes at the zoom you chose. This needs PEAKLib (PEAKLib_Items), which a mod manager installs with the mod. Without it the map is pinned to a corner of the screen as before. - Held the way the game holds its own things. Arms out, palms on the case, the screen leaned back towards you — settled by eye in front of the airport mirror rather than by numbers.
- It lands on its back. Dropped or thrown, it ends up screen-up rather than standing on an edge; in a suitcase it lies flat, in the middle, antenna towards the lid.
- On a backpack it hangs screen-out, in any of the four slots.
- Bigger and bolder. The device is four times its real size in the hands, which is what PEAK's hands need; markers on its screen are doubled and the readout is bold.
- The zoom is kept between glances. It used to reset every time the map opened.
- The buttons press when you press them, and it clicks — six sounds, chirps on waking and sleeping, a knock at the end of the zoom ladder.
- An inventory icon painted from the model.
Settings under Tracker cover all of it: rarity and luggage, size, where it
is held, how it lies in a suitcase, and the marker size on the screen.
1.0.3
- New icon: the GPS itself, large, on a plain grey field. The old one carried lines of small text that were unreadable at the size an icon is actually shown at.
Text and artwork only. The mod is unchanged from 1.0.1.
1.0.2
- The readme said mods disable Steam achievements. They keep working; the note is corrected.
Text only. The mod itself is unchanged from 1.0.1.
1.0.1
- Unbound the two development hotkeys.
F11saved a screenshot andF10photographed every kind of thing on the mountain at once. Both exist to work on the mod, neither belongs on a player's keyboard: Steam, the graphics driver and Windows all take screenshots already, and F10 set off a lot of work if you leaned on it mid-climb. Both keys are still in the config for anyone who wants them, just not bound to anything by default.
Nothing else changed. The map, the markers and the settings are as they were.
1.0.0
First release. Tested against PEAK 2.4.b.
- A live minimap, drawn by the game itself, on a handheld GPS in the corner of the screen.
- Markers for unopened chests, campfires, statues, belltowers, capybaras, mobs and the scoutmaster, each shown as a picture of itself. The pictures are photographed from your own copy of the game the first time you see one, so none of PEAK's artwork ships with the mod.
- Markers grow and lighten above you, shrink and darken below.
- Other climbers marked at any distance.
- Altitude and the distance to the nearest unopened chest.
- Zoom in fixed steps from 20 m to 2000 m across; three viewing angles.
- Client side: nobody else in the lobby needs it.
