Enjoy.

TonyRockyHorror

I'll do a render Wednesday after I get home from work. :)

ardichoke

Updated initial post with map infoz. Enjoy in moderation bitches.

TonyRockyHorror

Thanks for hosting, ardi. I'll update the map once a week and send you a link to the file.

CrazyJoe

Do we have any updated maps?

ardichoke

Not at this time. They switched to a new save file format with the 1.3 update. I haven't had a time to check if the tools I was using have been updated.

As for the Google Maps stuff, I wasn't generating those. What's up there is the latest version I was provided with.

TonyRockyHorror

looks like there is a new build of Overviewer, so i'll set up a run tonight on the most recent daily backup. Hopefully it'll be a faster render with the new region format.

ardichoke

I've done a new Overviewer run, map is up. I've also updated the server to Debian 6 which means I can now run Overviewer right on the server. I will be setting it up to update the map once a week automagically.

TonyRockyHorror

Hey dudes! Sorry I fell behind on this stuff. School and work stuff ramped up in such a way that I haven't had much time for MC lately. :(

Thanks for taking care of this, ardi!

[Edit] Map link in OP is broken. Maybe a new name? Different directory?

ardichoke

Yeah, there is no static image anymore. I'm setting it up to automatically update the Google Map style version from now on as it's a more elegant method of mapping (and caches better than the static image build)

cola

say, on the big map, do you see 3 islands of chunks spawned waaaaay to the left of the continent, just floating out in space?

ardichoke

I do indeed. Not sure how those got there... if it was an error with map spawning or if it was a problem with the world itself....

BobbyDigi

I don't see them, but I did notice the map had enormous amounts of blank space. Possible that those islands are related to the lag/mem usage recently?

I'll have to see about editing the map this weekend and taking out those random bits (if they exist in the actual world and not just on the map).

BobbyDigi

Is there a link to get the full current map?

-Digi

ardichoke

I stopped building a static image version when I started automatically updating the google maps style version.

BobbyDigi

I meant the playable map. For single player testing, for example.

ardichoke

Ah... yeah, just grab one of the backups. Links are in the main thread.
