The mapserver is two fold
# the WebApp # the mod
The WebApp can be found and searched on the web by going to pandorabox.io/map and also supplies an API.
The mod allows us to use the /search command in-game and calls the API of the WebApp.
The WebApp allows to find specific types of objects within a given layer and are made visible on the map with various icons.
The mod allows us to search for specific types (bones/shop/POI) and it returns the results in a dialog on screen(formspec)
Any objects that are not within a specific layer can not be searched for and are not visible on the map(including players).
The layers
The layers start and stop at specific heights (y coordinates) which are:
- Ground: -16 >= y < 176
- Moon: 4992 >= y < 5616
- Space: 6000 >= y < 10016
- Mars: 14000 >= y < 17024
- Example 1:
If you die Higher or lower then these layers, your bones will not show up on the map and /search bones PlayerName will not return any results. - Example 2:
If you place a Fancy Vendor inside these layers, the items for sale can be found including your username and location of the vendor, price etc. - Example 3:
If you die and bones are placed at y=-17, they will not show up on the map. But if you die at -16 it does.
Tip If you do happen to die outside these layers, be quick while you still have the way-point pointing to your bones. Note the time and date of your death in Coordinated Universal Time(UTC) in case you need to contact staff to find your bones.
