The Server Map.

by Skynet 2011-01-14, 08:49

It's really cool that you (finally) got the isometric view map but I'm wondering a few things.
Is there a way to rotate the map?
Is there a way to label all the places on the map?
Why is the map nearly perfectly round?
Just a few questions regarding the awesome new map.

I also like the idea of rotating the map, but just that one view took two hours to render (And it was rendered using the fastest map generator.)
I'm not certain on whether places on the map can be labelled or not, I'm putting things like that on hold until Bukkit / hMod b134 is on the server though.
The map is round because of the BorderLands plugin, and rather than a square shape I set a circle flag as I like the look of it better. Without it the map would just expand forever = Bad.

But didn't you say something about the map updating every 10 minutes or something like that?
or is that just looking for changes and applying those to the server map?

Yes, it only checks for modified chunks and updates them on the map as necessary.

Yesterday, I was walking, and suddenly it wouldn't let me go, then I look in the chat. "This is the edge of the world" or something appeard :p
