[1.1.59] 'ping a map location' appears offset

Post by _CodeGreen »

Whenever you ping a map location with ctrl + alt + click, it rounds up to the nearest tile position and puts the marker there.
If there is a legitimate reason refuting any of my following 'complaints' (for lack of a better term), then I would be glad to be enlightened.

Anyway, first things first: The marker is always on the tile position diagonally down and right of the tile you clicked on, instead of the tile you did click on.
The other major 'complaint' is that the marker is centered around the tile position, and not the center of the tile.
This leads to players pinging a location off center, as well as not being able to directly ping the center of a 1x1 entity such as a chest.

Of course, it's not the end of the world, but for something used so often in multiplayer, it would be nice if the marker behaved in a more intuitive fashion.

Example: pinging the green dot on the [0,0] tile has the results of sending the [1,1] location in chat

Thanks for the report. It's now fixed for the next 1.1. release.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
