One Hour One Life Forums

So I am not sure if this was intentional or not, but we know that if a portion of the map has not been seen within 24 hours of a system reboot, it gets regenerated - however it seems to still delete newly created areas reguardless.

Example:

Last night, on server 1 - I was starting to build a town around the coordinates (x: -4, y: -25) as shown in the picture below.

Started mapping out the roads and stuff with an excel file that I was working on:

The next day however, it seemed as if the map was regenerated at this location:

So any kind of city planning / building / mapping is really not advisable, particularly when it feels that your settlement can go at any moment.

Just wanted to issue players a word of warning on the subject.

Updates

- April 4th: There was a change in the way the click X,Y log was being sent (relative coordinates), and some changes to current lines in the stdout file, so I am now parsing the line that says "Sending message to server: MOVE". Updated the script in the code block so feel free to use it and overwrite the old one.

Introduction

Hey all, I created a simple powershell script that scans your stdout.txt file for your current map coordinates. It will by default add a timestamp to the coordinate message and keep a running scroll of your position as you run around the world map.

This was designed as a proof of concept of auxiliary information that we can parse using the stdout.txt, and wanted to provide it to the community for feedback. If there's an appetite for this kind of information, it can be incorporated into a windows application that could save favorite coordinates and expose other information such as current hunger, what server your connected on, player nearby alert, and all the other goodies in the stdout.txt log.

Feel free to use and distribute this as you like.

Requirements

- You will need to run this script on a Windows 7 or higher PC with PowerShell
- If you are using MacOS or Linux, you can install PowerShell here: https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell

How to Install

- Save the PowerShell script below as a .ps1 file in your OneLife directory.
- Right click on the ps1 file that you created and select "Run with PowerShell"
- The console will wait until you start moving around in game and then it should update

Troubleshooting

- The most common problem seems to be that windows is blocking script execution, to change your policy, run Powershell as an Administrator and enter the command: set-executionpolicy unrestricted (https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/ … on-policy/)
- If you cannot run the ps1 file, or if you would rather an exe file instead, you can convert the script online using an online converter: http://www.f2ko.de/en/op2e.php.
- Make sure that the exe or script is located in your One life directory
- You can also directly download the converted exe here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zeg6mk … sp=sharing
- If you find that it takes a while to read lines, feel free to clear out or delete the stdout.txt file in your onelife directory, as it tends to get big very fast
