Feature request: Make waypoints in-game available with GPS in inventory only.

It would be cool if waypoints were available when the player finds a GPS.

Thanks.

I like what you are trying to do here but my only thoughts are that it's a massive change from how it's worked in the past so players might not expect a change

[vinyljunkie]

It doesn't have to be a massive change. Foxy had an idea the waypoints and distance would only show in the GPS window. This way servers with Waypoints enabled won't notice any difference and servers without them will have, for players, an added value to finding a GPS.

Fixing game breaking bugs like duping and combat logging will be a massive change as well but that doesn't mean we won't gladly do it.

I'd love to see this feature as well. I've suggested having the markers show up only in the GPS window in the past as well. It would add so much to the game and increase the value of the GPS for servers with map markers disabled (which in my opinion should be all vanilla servers).

I agree that this is logical, but the current behaviour has been there forever with just the map. If you want a server setting to push it to GPS (or map+compass), go for it. I don't see the value in disrupting the shrinking player base. We need to add new features, not take anything away.

US 434 just removed their waypoints upon request from their players. Player numbers are increasing after the release of 1.8.8 and both 434 and Europa are top 10 worldwide as I am typing this. This would be a good time to add this.

Agreed as have all the other admins from 434, would make the GPS useful ingame. We're the only two servers that have true Vanilla and are populated. of late we've been paying close attention to our playerbase inregards to changes.

make this an option if you have to have it.
