TEI - GPS Distance Helper

Description
This is an update of Meridius_IX / Lucas's GPS Distance Helper.
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1223617082

Description
This mod will add the distance of a GPS point to the beginning of the description. It should not replace it unless the description is contained in "[]" square brackets.

Commands:

  • /GDHHelp

    Show this help text.

  • /GDHNearest {ore|tag} [count] [Hide]

    Will find the nearest ore or tag from your GPS list. If {count} is specified, it will display the nearest {count} GPSs. If "Hide" is specified it will hide all other GPSs assuming it finds one of them.

  • /GDHFurthest {ore|tag} [count] [Hide]

    Will find the furthest ore or tag from your GPS list. If {count} is specified, it will display the furthest {count} GPSs. If "Hide" is specified it will hide all other GPSs assuming it finds one of them.

  • /GDHWithin {distance} [Hide]

    Will find all GPSs within the {distance} specified. Defaults to meters, postfix with "km" for kilometers. If "Hide" is specified it will hide all other GPSs.

  • /GDHOutsideof {distance} [Hide]

    Will find all GPSs outsideof the {distance} specified. Defaults to meters, postfix with "km" for kilometers. If "Hide" is specified it will hide all other GPSs.

  • /GDHHideAllGPS

    Hides all GPS signals.

  • /GDHShowAllGPS

    Shows all GPS signals.

ore/tag
Where ore/tag is specified the mod will first assume that the entered value is an ore and try and match it to the normal non modded list of ores, it expects to find this in the name of the GPS. If it is not found there it is assumed to be a single word tag that appears in the name of the GPS.

The tag can be used (among other things) for setting up a path and having it display the complete path when selected.

Any chance this will get an update? ;D

Hi, like @Kittamaru I have started using PluginLoader a little bit as well. The plugin 'GPS Folders and More' clashes a bit with this (for me) essential mod by requiring the folder tag to be first in the description.

I can't modify the plugin but I can modify this mod to fix it. Now it just replaces the first occurence of [...] anywhere in the description with the current distance (my changes begin at line 132).

Thanks for updating that very useful mod. Coming back to Space Engineers after a few years away is hard WRT mods that used to work. Easily find GPS tags is critical to my game play.

My apologies for the late response - I didn't realize Steam isn't showing me notifications anymore!

Yes, it is apparently a mod via PluginLoader called GPS Folders and More. It apparently also has the GPS distance function built in. I had completely forgotten about that plugin! My mistake.

Hello @Kittamaru, I have never heard of a folder system for SE. Is it a mod, plugin?
Kittamaru 1 Dec, 2023 @ 3:28pm 
I have noticed one oddity - if I try adding the bookmarks to folders, it will start appending the distance to the folder name instead, like this:

[151.95m]:<Folder>Cobalt</Folder>
[5.39km]:Current position

Just started using your version of this mod. It used to be a trivial irritation that Lucas' version would overwrite the entire description, so I couldn't leave detailed notes if I wanted to (I usually don't anyway).

Yours looks much more handy in that sense.

I didn't realize how much I missed the GPS distance functionality until just now using your mod! Thanks!

That would have happened anyway, before there was an enforced space after the ']', so you would loose the 'A' in your example, this will make it obvious that it is a used location.

At least that is my thinking.

The CTD does appear to be fixed, thanks :)

This does have a small side effect of changing descriptions that look like "[0 m]AB" to "[0 m]:B". Not a big deal, but should be on the list of known bugs nonetheless
