RLM Changelog

Revision: 1.5

This document tracks all changes, updates, and improvements made to the Realism Location Marker (RLM) project.

Version 7.3.6

Release Date: 23 August 2026

Fixed

  • Create Building false fail — a successful MissionChief create no longer shows Failed - Try Again. Stable was treating Bootstrap alert-danger in the success page as a form reject and never checked /api/buildings. Create now confirms a station actually appeared; real failures still show Failed.

Tampermonkey stable loader: 7.3.6. Check for updates in Tampermonkey or reload the game.

Version 7.3.5

Release Date: 20 August 2026

What's new

  • POI Statistics — live counts from /api/poi-stats (indexed, OSM total, coverage); no more placeholder numbers
  • Start Vehicles — navbar settings per world from /api/start-vehicles (replaces hardcoded US/DE building-type IDs)
  • Discord Panel — loads through the modular feature system like Dashboard
  • FBI & RNLI POI types — defined once in RLMExtraPoiTypes; FBI on US only, RNLI on UK only
  • Map clustering — dense city views cluster POIs (400+ in view) instead of dumping thousands of icons
  • Truncation banner — map warns when the 10 000 POI viewport cap or clustering is in effect
  • Antimeridian support — POI fetches split at ±180° so Alaska / Pacific / dateline views stay complete

Fixed

  • Create Building — retries transport errors, validates real success, shows Failed - Try Again instead of stuck “Creating…”
  • Unnamed POIs — null / blank / “To Be Confirmed” names get Edit Name
  • Mixed POI pins — stale fetch guard + debounced pan/zoom reload (one request per gesture)
  • Names with % — building create no longer throws on percent signs in OSM names
  • Status-edit cooldown — 409 pending/rejected edits show the same warning modal as name edits
  • Create without jQuery — building POST and start-vehicle discovery fall back to fetch
  • Popup XSS — POI names, addresses, and edit modals escape HTML; escapeHtml(undefined) no longer prints “undefined”
  • Tampermonkey sandbox — map and Leaflet resolve via unsafeWindow / page window helpers
  • Placeholder addresses — create no longer sends the literal string placeholder address
  • Block / cooldown checks — use GM apiClient so CORS cannot skip the warning UI
  • MCID on edits — name/status edits send the logged-in MissionChief ID reliably
  • Double popup clicks — Create / Edit handlers bind once per marker popup
  • POI types failure — dropdown shows ⚠ Failed to load POI types with retry
  • API timeouts — 30s timeout on GM requests so hung /api/pois calls fail cleanly
  • Navbar detection — Bootstrap 4/5 and LSSM fallbacks; stops infinite polling on non-map pages
  • Dashboard Back — closes the overlay instead of calling history.back()
  • CSRF on create — Rails authenticity_token, utf8=✓, and X-CSRF-Token header
  • Usage headers — feature API calls send X-RLM-Version and user/alliance IDs
  • POI emoji — popup Type line uses API emoji with singular/plural/OSM-tag fallbacks
  • Links — Changelog menu opens the GitHub wiki; blocked-user appeal uses the current Discord invite

Known issues (still open)

  • Build dropdown matching — fire/police can over-match (e.g. Airport Fire); dispatch/prison/RNLI build types may be missing on some worlds (S5)
  • Dispatch centres — string vs number ID mismatch can hide Leitstelle options (S7)
  • Name-edit POI type — review queue may get display labels instead of OSM tags (S11)
  • Police / config worlds — loader country can be overwritten; police hosts may get wrong building catalog (S12)
  • Version strings — navbar/logs may still disagree with the loader header until unified (S13)
  • POI dropdown placement — still lives inside Leaflet attribution; can vanish if attribution is rewritten (S14)

Tampermonkey stable loader: 7.3.5. Check for updates in Tampermonkey or reinstall from the Installation Guide.
