[BUG] Relative coordinates mode does not seem to be working

[darkdurza]

It appears that instead of subtracting my current coordinates, it adds them. For example, if I'm at X=50 in absolute mode and change it to relative mode, it changes to X=100 instead of X=0

[FoxPotato]

that's because the way the levers are set probably correspond to 100.

[darkdurza]

Am I misunderstanding how relative coordinate mode works? If I click the Current Coordinates Store button, it sets my Z to 113. I would think pressing the relative coordinates mode would set that to 0 since I'm already at my current position. Instead it sets it to 221. Even if I set all the Z control levers to 0, my Z is still 106 in relative mode.

Switching to relative coords mode doesn't change the levers at all. It just means instead of going to x,y,z you go to cX+x,cY+y,cZ+z where x,y,z are the lever coords and cX,cY,cZ are your current tardis coords.

[darkdurza]

OH I just realized where the confusion is. When I set all the levers to 0 and enable relative coordinate mode, it shows 113, but it's showing the target coordinate of 113, not saying I'm going to move 113. Would it not make more sense to have the screen show how much you're moving by in relative mode, rather than where you're moving to?

[DarkholmeTenk]

I think the screen should always show where you're going rather than have it conditional.

[darkdurza]

Any chance of making that a config option?

[darkdurza]

I mean the coordinate guesser is there to tell you where you're going.

[AlienXtream]

the guesser is actually obsolete since the screen was implemented
