Wayfare

Walk into a portal and the world map opens on every portal you may use; click one and you travel there. No more matching tags: every portal reaches every other, and a tag is only the name shown beside its icon.

Features

• Map targeting: walk in, click a portal on the map, go. The game's carry rules, fade and cooldown still apply.
• Access modes: Public, Private (owner only) or Admin (only admins may set it), cycled with Shift+E on a portal.
• Favourites: right-click a portal icon to pin it to a panel on the map.
• Toggle Icons Key (P) shows portal icons on the ordinary map.
• Works with any mod's portals.
• Sea gates: two pillars on the shore or in shallow water, 10 to 15 m apart, open a portal for ships. Sail in, pick any other sea gate on the map, and the ship arrives there with its crew aboard. Experimental.
• Quick jumps: near portals are quicker, no loading screen into an area already loaded, faster land loading after a long jump.

Install

Needed on the server and every client. Install with r2modman or the Thunderstore app, or put Wayfare.dll in BepInEx/plugins.

Configuration

BepInEx/config/com.Wayfare.cfg. Every setting is described in the file and applies without a restart; the server's values bind every player, display settings stay your own. Console: charter status shows whether the server binds your settings.

Changelog

0.4.0

• Teleport Mode (General): Map (as before), TargetTeleport or Default (the game's tag pairing).
• TargetTeleport: walking into a named portal opens a dropdown of every other named portal; pick one, press Teleport.
• TargetTeleport: unnamed portals stay dark and unconnected; favourites list first, each portal with its distance.
• Default: access modes and portal map icons are off; quick jumps and sea gates still work.

0.3.3

• Fixed: after Alt + Tab, Toggle Icons Key could stop working or act as if Shift, Ctrl or Alt were held.
• Store page: a fuller overview of what the mod does.

0.3.2

• A portal built moments ago shows on the map as soon as you walk into any portal.
• Fixed: Toggle Icons Key fired while typing a map pin name or in the console.
• Fixed: a Toggle Icons Key with Shift, Ctrl or Alt did nothing while walking.
• Lighter on frame rate and the server with the map open, near sea gates and with many portals.
• Update the server and every client together.

0.3.1

• Fixed: portal and sea gate icons wiggled while panning the map.

0.3.0

• Every portal reaches every other; a tag is only its name. Untagged portals are open again.
• Sea gates: every gate reaches every other. Sail in and the helmsman picks the destination on the map.
• Sea gates: the whole crew sees the map with each other's pointers; E on a pillar only names the gate.
• The map opens framed on every portal you may use.
• Access: only admins may set Admin; a Private portal answers only to its owner.
• Removed: Unowned Portals Are Public; a portal nobody has set is Public.
• Fixed: walking into a portal with the inventory open left both stuck open.

0.2.0

• Portals need a tag: untagged ones stay dark, closed and off the map; tagged ones glow as connected.
• Map icons are the game's portal icon in gold, ringed for favourites, easier to click.
• "You are here" marks the portal you stand in; it can no longer be picked.
• Double-click a portal icon to place a map pin; right-click removes a pin under it first.
• The favourites list hides portals you may no longer use.
• Fixed: favourites entries, and portal icons on the ordinary map, ignored left clicks.
• Faster loading: the config file is written once instead of once per setting.

0.1.0

• First release.
• Walk into a portal and pick its destination on the world map; portal tags are only labels.
• Access modes Public, Private and Admin, cycled with Shift+E.
• Favourites panel on the map; Toggle Icons Key (P) shows portals on the ordinary map.
• Works with any mod's portals.
• Sea gates: two pillars across water open a portal for ships, crew aboard. Experimental.
• Quick jumps, formerly in OpenKeep: near portals are quicker, no loading screen into a loaded area.
• Needed on the server and every client.
