Only pings icons are displayed. Original mod:Global Positions. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=378160973 You may as well want: Global Positions Remapped, an alternative for global player icon and map sharing. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2902364746 Compass, an alternative for global player icon. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2830328556 DS version https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3077292909

Reasons to shrink Global Positions: 1. Share map progress and share player indicator consumes too much network. 2. When enabled together with Island Adventures, the mod Global Positions, with player indicator disabled and pings enabled, crashes on TheWorld.worldmaprevealer. So I have no other way but to publish a new mod.

Changes: Disable all functions irrelevant of pings by commenting. Delete all assets irrelevant of pings. Fix an exploit.

Mod Configs: Clientside

  • language="default"|"en"|"zh". Only English and Simplified Chinese are supported. Leaving it to be "default" is just OK for most occasions.

Serverside

  • announce=“true”|else. If it is string "true" then server will announce when a ping is created.
  • announce_format="%s made a %s ping"|else. The first %s will be replaced by player name, and the second by ping type.
