Support for Squaremap

How likely is it that a server map like squaremap or BlueMap can show the claims we make in Open Parties and Claims? Your claims mod, in combination with your World Map mod, gives the best in-game experience for creating and viewing claims. For this reason, we chose your mods. I noticed that mods like squaremap only support specific (often outdated) claims mods. I think there is a missing connection between these two forms of maps: in-game and public maps.

I recognise that this kind of cross-mod link requires extensive work on, very likely, an additional mod. My question is perhaps more of a question of intrigue: will these two map ecosystems every be linked? Do you have something on the roadmap to make your claims mod compatible with those map mods?

Thank you again for all your hard work on these mods.

Well, this exists: OPaC BlueMap. And I'm pretty sure this one fixes some known issues: OpenPaC BlueMap - Remapped, as I remember the original being pretty buggy (forgot the specifics). Don't think there's one for Squaremap yet.
That's exactly how I expect other map solutions to be supported. OPAC's API makes it relatively simple to add map support, because I kept it in mind all along the development, as a map mod dev myself. So, if a map solution is popular enough and supports overlays that could be used for claims, I'd expect an addon to show up, or even built-in support in the map mod.

Oh wow thank you! I swear I spent a few days looking for cross-compatibility and didn't find anything. I will look into this shortly, cheers!
