Cardinal directions in YAMS

[darrenstraight 2,330]

As you may have heard recently, Notch stated that the moon and sun rises in the NORTH (a bug) and that it will in 1.9 rise in the EAST (like we thought it did and should).

Well latter today I shall be updating the Essentials plugin which provides us with the commands /getpos and /compass among other things, and there's now been a change:

/getpos and /compass are now rotated by 90°, because notch said, that the [url="http://twitter.com/#!/notch/status/88155424880201728"]sun rises in the north[/url]

So what does this mean for YAMS, we’ll all the station direction Bearings and anything else such as the announcements for the test build area will be out by 90 degrees.

So if anyone wants to help set signs right again I’d appreciate it!!

NORTH = WEST
EAST = NORTH
SOUTH = EAST
WEST = SOUTH

*sigh* anyone who knows me in game knows i spend most of my time lost, especially ryanfenton who has rescued me on several occasions. now its going to be worse. does explain why i failed to find my way navigating by the sun and moon though!

Hmm. We could do this in some sort of order, like assigning groups of stations to individual people to change. Another job for Trainee CSOs?
Also, any unnamed stations we happen to come across can be named. Doing 2 jobs at the same time!

Good to hear you volunteer yourself for this

I'll get on to it asap.... although as it is now the weekend work takes over my life till sunday night so it wont be until then.... feel free to start changing them though.... aswell as the station names, thanks!

Dont rush to get this done yet.... there's a possible bug right now /compass is showing up wrong.... and is showing the sun rising in the south! :S

I have no idea how I never noticed the sun rose in the wrong direction, although I guess that's cause I used the sun to set my directions lol. I did wonder why West was F: 0, but I didn't think the sun was wrong lol.

All fixed! All hands on deck please!! [list]
[*]North Now = West (270 Deg)
[*]East Now = North (0 Deg)
[*]South Now = EAST (90 Deg)
[*]West Now = South (180 Deg)
[/list]

I'll see if I can go through Tyler's list again and change all the bearings on those stations. I might not be on much this coming week because it's the last week before half term so I've got a few Controlled Assessments / Coursework to get through at school. I'll be on for most of Friday, so I'll see what I can do then.

Thank you...

It's nice to see people helping out like this, it's what it's all about, taking some time to help the team.

Right. Now all the stations on Tyler's long list now have names and correct compass bearings. All in all about 8 hours of work You're welcome.
