Fixed The Tracking plugin is off

Look at the image. On the left you can see hockeyxxkid is within the spawn tracker's range of 550 but on the right you can see that hockeyxxkid's coords are -596, -594. At -600 he would be out of range. This means that the range that is displayed is off by 50. This isn't intended, correct? More testing needs to be done.

 

The spawn tracker is 11 blocks (including the gold block and excluding the emerald) so it isn't the case that the gold block is being ignored. It is just tracking 50 blocks farther than it should be. I did some testing on some short iron/temp trackers of my own and they worked correctly.

Perhaps try breaking and remaking the spawn tracker and see if it fixes itself? Or maybe crossing over the 0 coordinate breaks it? Or maybe after a certain length it breaks? idk.

Alright. After testing this by temp tracking someone else I can 100% confirm that it tracked 1 iteration farther than the displayed range. I can message proof to the relevant person, just tell me who. @Eil

 

Here is a full explanation of the bug:

The tracking range that is displayed is always correct, however sometimes it actually tracks 1 iteration (50 for iron or 25 for temp/obby) farther than the displayed range. The cases where it tracks farther than it should is when the direction is North or West if the final coordinate is negative, or South or East if the final coordinate is positive.

Now that the pattern is found, you can correct for it by simply adding 50/25 to the displayed range in the cases mentioned above until the bug is fixed.

Edit: Never mind. There is no conceivable pattern that I can find. Just be aware that tracking is inaccurate until it is (hopefully) fixed.

 

My current understanding of the bug:

Trackers always track too far but by varying amounts. Obsidian and Temporary trackers track from 1-25 blocks too far and Iron trackers track from 1-50 blocks too far.

Obsidian and Temporary trackers always start tracking at the center block up until the displayed range, but they don't stop tracking until the coordinate reaches a multiple of 25. Iron trackers are the same way except that they don't stop tracking until a multiple of 50.

Negative coordinates are actually the multiple of 25/50 plus 1. For example, it considers -24 and -49 multiples of 25.

Here's some screenshots that I took while testing this. The top signs give the range that it tracks and how much farther it's tracking than it should be. The bottom signs give the relevant coordinate for the center block.
