DrEngine Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 Adding map waypoints is a little bit tedious process. What about some hotkeys (lets say 5 pcs). Every hotkey has presetted color, icon. If I click hotkey game adds new waypoint with presetted color and icon, position on my current position and opens dialog for entering waypoint text. I write text and click enter. Quick, simple, comfortable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiptrix Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 You could just open the map with (m) and then right click + create the waypoint. It's not that horrible of a process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l33tmaan Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 I would appreciate being able to make a 'template' waypoint I can smack down anywhere. I like my little fancy golden pickaxes to mark places for me to mine, but it's slightly tedious to type in in several dozen times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrEngine Posted December 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 @Kiptrix. It's not horrible process. But it's not so easy as you've said: Open map. Zoom map so the position of waypoint should be precise. Right click. Write some text. Manually enter color (this is weird). Click icon selector, move down and eventually scroll because your icon is at the bottom of list. Click ok. Ehm.... It's not so straightforward.. Finally you use only few of icon (namely: pickaxe, ladder, trader wagon, star, spiral) - no need to have another in the list. You use only few colors mainly because some color is very badly visible on the map (namely: red - for search, orange - special case for example transponder target, yellow - searched but repeatedly user e.g. trader, blue - the place is done/closed). I usually want to place only these types of waypoints: - opening of cave (ladder, red) - ore to pick (pickaxe, red) - trader (trader wagon, red) - transponder (spiral, red) I usually change color to blue as soon as I finish some place (e.g. ores, explored caves) So few hotkeys for concrete waypoints would be perfect.

Streetwind Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 (edited) I'm not entirely sure since I've never done it myself, but my brain claims to remember I saw someone talk about making waypoint macros that only take one keypress to activate. Let me see if I can find someone in the know. EDIT: I found a video! Edited December 7, 2020 by Streetwind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l33tmaan Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 That's useful. I wish there was a more convenient way to do that, because I had no idea any of that existed in the game. I only even found out about waypoints by accident, perhaps some documentation on this would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrEngine Posted December 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 Macro - perfect solution. However is it possible the macro asks for waypoint title ? Something like that "/waypoint addati pick °0 °0 °0 false red #enter_text" => dialog asks for text, replaces #enter_text with entered text and executes this command. ???

DanaCraluminum Posted March 7, 2021 Report Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) There is Waypoint Extensions mod https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/98, very convenient Edited March 7, 2021 by Craluminum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l33tmaan Posted March 7, 2021 Report Share Posted March 7, 2021 There are a lot of mods that should probably just get implemented or adapted into the base game. That and CarryCapacity are two of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinHood Posted July 4, 2021 Report Share Posted July 4, 2021 It would be also nice to have some bite more icons maybe -relevant PeriodicSystem Elements - Cu for Copper, Fe for Iron, Bi for Bismuth .. e.g. not only the pickaxehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_tableSkull icon for dangerous placesDog / Wolf icon, Sheep / Pig icon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fredrik Blomquist Posted July 5, 2021 Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 I think it would be nice. I know about adding and pinning waypoint, but when getting frustrated about dying i sometimes forget - making me even more frustrated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setsuna22 Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 (edited) My issue for waypoints are if for example you wanted to teleport to them similar names get overwritten in the database so you end up teleporting to whichever one is called last. It's frustrating when you have a few Artisans or food merchants. Edited July 6, 2021 by Richard Adams Autocorrect 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
