Depends on OP 1.21.3 or later being available for MP4 and Turbo

When installing this plugin, script compilation fails. This might be related to a recent update to the PlayerState or MLFeed plugin.

Openplanet version: 1.25.45

Plugin versions:

• Checkpoint Counter: 3.1.0
• PlayerState: 1.3.0
• MLFeed: 0.5.6

A lot of people have copied the logic for their own plugins, so maybe make the implementation a little easier to just drop in to other projects

PlayerState seems to have some performance issues with full servers; I've heard that MLFeed avoids those issues.

Possibility to add an option to hide the counter if the number of checkpoints on the map is 0 (eg. Royal maps, since Royal don't allow CPs)

As the current method is technically just an estimate, this could be significantly improved.

  • I like this best, but single-player only

The field comes from the default 3 laps... need to check for the presence of a multilap start/finish waypoint

If checkpoints are placed very close to each other and the car's speed is very high going through them, not all of them are counted. If the framerate cap is lowered, the problem worsens, so it seems to be caused by taking multiple checkpoints in a single frame. It is easily reproduceable on this map: https://trackmania.exchange/tracks/view/141153

Change the please report this map to Phlarx#1765 on Discord message to point to this Github issues page instead.

Add a setting to load and display with a user-defined font. Look to the Dashboard plugin for an implementation example.

Suggested by KevindeB#5500 in the OP discord.

Offer a color-editable background, since the values can be difficult to see in some environments.

Look to Ultimate Medals and Dashboard for inspiration

Is there a tutorial page on the OP site? Otherwise a text tutorial is good.

Driving any multilap map with the lap counter shown will always have it set to 1/X no matter what

Screenshot shows I'm on lap 2/2, but the counter is stuck at 1/2

This is deprecated.

Use const string &in str instead of string str and similar.

Can you add an option to show the checkpoint counter at times when not driving, such as during intros and after a finish
(I know this is possible since my UCI plugin works during these times)
You may want to use - or similar instead of 0 for the taken checkpoints during these times, idk

When driving a map in the map editor, the plugin doesn't seem to count the checkpoints.
The plugin is able to detect the total number of CPs on the map, but it will always stay on 0 out of X CPs.
