nexMap

nexMap is a full featured mapping, navigation, and pathfinding package for the Nexus client. It builds a live map from the Achaea Crowdmap dataset, renders it inside Nexus, and provides fast, configurable routing with support for special travel options like clouds, wormholes, and tarot.

What you get​

  • Crowdmap based world map with high performance rendering and room labels.
  • Smart pathfinding with travel options (wormholes, clouds, sewer grates, tarot, urns, and more).
  • One click routing: click any room to path.
  • A configurable UI for travel options, command separator, and pathing speed.
  • NPC database lookups and tracking utilities.
  • EventStream integration for room, area, and pathing events.

Requirements​

  • Nexus web client (official).
  • eventStream (required dependency; listed as nexevent in package metadata).
  • Network access to load the crowdmap data and optional NPC/wormhole services.

Architecture overview​

nexMap loads the crowdmap JSON, builds a Graphology graph for pathfinding, and a Cytoscape graph for display. GMCP and EventStream events drive room changes, while the walker module manages hybrid path tracking and special travel edges. Settings are stored in nexMapSettings under Nexus variables.

Key modules:

  • base/graph: Graph construction, exit conversion, display graph generation.
  • base/walker: Pathfinding and hybrid path tracking for long routes.
  • base/navigation: GMCP driven room and area transitions.
  • base/settings: User preferences and travel toggles.
  • base/wormholes: Wormhole discovery and routing.
  • base/tracking: Highlighting and tracking targets, pets, and dopplegangers.

Version​

Current package version is 2.2.5 (see nexMap.status.version).
