Making a flat test map... lighting 5429 chunks. Chug chug chug. And clearing them out in the first place wasn't fast.

If it works I'll post up a copy. (Yes I know there are some out there somewhere already done.)

Flat test map. No holes below the surface so you can do spawn tests and things like that.

Yeah I finished my tests and am running a live render. Going to take a couple days at least for the first run I am sure.

ahh cool.

on a totally separate note: I figure that by the time i finish stripping the abandoned mine of rails, wood and fences, that I will have enough rails to connect my place to the HTH with rails.

I'm not going to be playing on the server. =(

First, I have serious framerate issues that get worse in SMP. SSP is tolerable.
Second, I'm working second shift so when I do get a chance to play odds are nobody else is online which defeats the purpose of multiplayer.

So for now I'll be playing SSP. It does have it's advantages in that I can try any mod I like. I can also pause the game when my dog wants a walk.

That's the upside. The downside is that I don't get to hang out with all of you. =(

So be it. I'm just glad to have a job.

P.S. I'll try to take some screens and make an imgur album so you can all see the horrible things I build.

The mapper is still grinding away... 289k of 416k for pass one which is by far the largest. I'm thinking it has a couple more days at least to go. As long as updates don't take this long though this should work.

Wow zoom 10 just finished up, roughly 50 hours later, and takes up about 50G on the drive. That was by far the largest and longest running stage of the process though as it required rendering the map data in 3D and moving around it to get the images. Now it is just using the existing high detail images to make the reduced detail ones for the other zoom levels.

The real test will be when this is finished. If it can efficiently use the cache and detect changed tiles/entities so it doesn't take too long to run an update it will work well for us. Even if it only means an update once or twice a day it will be nice to have a zoomable/panable map.
