Antique Atlas to JourneyMap waypoint converter for SevTech: Ages

Antique Atlas to JourneyMap waypoint converter

Have you been playing SevTech: Ages, marked tons of stuff in your Antique Atlas, and then unlocked JourneyMap and realized that you're still tied to the Atlas for all the markers you made? I had that problem and hacked up a quick and dirty tool to convert the Antique Atlas waypoints to JourneyMap.

Prerequisites

This makes use of the nbt package from PyPi

$ pip install nbt

Installation

Download aa2jm.py and TEMPLATE.json and place both in an empty folder. Trust me. It'll make your life a lot easier if you do. JourneyMap uses a separate file for each marker. You're going to have a lot of files when you're done.

Configuration

Edit aa2jm.py and change the path in the waypoints = line near the top. It should point to something like world/data/aaMarkers_0.dat

Important: If you run a separate server, your waypoints are stored on the server. You need to use aaMarkers_0.dat from the server in that case.

While you're editing aa2jm.py, you may wish to change defaulty = 255 to some other value. The Antique Atlas only records X and Z coordinates. When converting to JourneyMap a Y value must be provided. I defaulted to 255 so that you wouldn't have to worry about suffocating in a wall should you teleport. The downside is that you will absolutely need something to negate fall damage :) You can change this value to any valid Y value.

Optionally, you may wish to edit TEMPLATE.json and change the r, g, and b values to tweak the color of your imported waypoints. The included template is a maroon color. Note that the RGB values are in decimal, not hex.

Usage

You should not be connected to the game when you run this. The main menu is fine. JourneyMap will load the new waypoints when you connect.

$ python aa2jm.py

A listing of your waypoints will appear in the terminal as they are processed. Once the script has finished running, copy all the aa_import_*.json files to JourneyMap (but NOT TEMPLATE.json). JourneyMap keeps its waypoints in one of two places:

Single player: minecraft/journeymap/data/sp/world/waypoints

Server: minecraft/journeymap/data/mp/world/waypoints

You'll have to tweak the path a little depending on what exactly your map/server is named and where your Minecraft folder is located.

Once the json files are copied into the waypoints folder, you can connect to your game and open up your JourneyMap waypoints with CTRL+B. Everything from Antique Atlas should be there.

Versions

This has been tested with SevTech: Ages 3.1.1, which includes Antique Atlas 4.5.0 and JourneyMap 5.5.4
