Re: Latest Maps

Not dynamic, this map is generated once a day. That plugin looks nice, but its too much load on a busy server, so, sorry, we won't be loading it right now.

Re: Latest Maps

Yeah, until someone erases another persons markers, or changes the text, we have enough squabbling going on over towns, etc, plus, I'd have to code a front end to do those markers, and its just not something I want to spend my time on.

Re: Latest Maps

I understand what you mean Thonnas, but who maintains it, updates? The maps as they stand are as much as I'm willing to invest in with my time, right now.

Re: Latest Maps

Dup, you mean to install the minimap mod on the server? No, I looked into it, its a performance hog, especially on a bigger map with a lot of players. As far as markers go on the google map, I could, but then there would be an issue with people changing others markers, and I don't want to get into a...

It all depends on what it is and what features they have enabled, it's probably locked down so that everything is controlled

Re: Latest Maps

Re: wokka

I would like to ask what SW:TOR is like. I love the KotOR games, and would prefer a third one to come out, but due to the relationship to them, and the fact it's being set in the general universe, albeit centuries after, this is the first MMORPG I've ever really considered buying. Due to the NDA, I...

Re: wokka

I've been gaming since I had an atari 2600 as a kid, got one as soon as they came out, and yes, that means I'm older than most of you around here :) Very interesting... I had one of those. Back when Pong was the absolute greatest thing ever seen. Remember the TI 99/4A, by any chance? Oh yeah, playe...

Hi, I'm wokka, and I play server admin/guru around here on a TV show called Escapia, Season 3 currently. When not tinkering with the server or giving Blackadder a hard time in the game, I fool everyone at work into thinking I'm a real network engineer. I jest, but I do enjoy my job and the people I ...

Re: Latest Maps

Thanks Ojii, I know next to nothing about graphics. That dropped the size from 21meg to 9meg on the current map. Do you have any other suggestions about decreasing the size?

Re: Latest Maps

I'm limited on what I can do with the map due to the program the generates it. It's possible I can do a conversion after the fact, I'll have to look into it. I'm doing this all on linux on the command line, not using any gui apps (no gui on the server).

Re: Latest Maps

no, due to how dropbox makes you upload files via the web browser. I could probably hack something together and make it work, but its really not worth my time, you can simply use the links I have supplied.

Re: Latest Maps

I have a script that runs the c10t program that generates the map code on linux, then I use imagemagick to render the changes image. Then script then copies the file over the the webserver. I keep the image names the same, so that the link is static now. On my list of things to do is to generate thu...
