So... How are the map tiles supposed to be seamed together? Because PNG filenames have 0 based indexing for each session folder. Manually? Edge comparison?
It doesn't seam them together, it displays them similar to the Google Map's Api - renders the tiles in the viewport, using the tiles default naming convention of tile_x_y.png to figure out where they belong in relation to one another.
Users manually merge the various maps together by matching tiles by eye.
My 2 silver - I, for one, would prefer any future mapping tool created to NOT stitch tiles together. That would make maintaining the server map pages something of a nightmare.
Features I would like to see, however, are the ability to create zoom levels from within the tool itself, and something that doesn't go om nom nom RAM! Happy! - the current tool does NOT unload tiles from memory until closed.
