Droj's World Map

updated the files, everything should be working now. If you wish to share your map files you can send them to me either by PM or the email in OP.

Hey droj, I was wondering if you or imrielle have tried to convert the map tiles from RGB color to an indexed color palette (16 colors)? I converted a folder of 26000 map tiles with the following results:

Time: 20 mins
Before: 361 MB / 26,191 files. SalemMapTool load time: 80 secs (old AMD x2 64 2.0ghz/4gb ram)
After: 79.8 MB / 26,191 files. SalemMapTool load time: 24 secs

Would this help load times and server bandwidth?

Caveat: It is my understanding that resizing should be done BEFORE converting to indexed color palette. I also have no idea if there are other pitfalls related to the conversion and/or resizing.

link not working

The link isn't working for me either.
I think you should be using a different host for the maps, maybe 000webhost or something.

Keep up the good work, I wish i'll get to see the map someday. =)

I hope to see it too; I wanted to come back to Salem after several months and I forgot where my house was. I really need a map, and I cant get a working one

I will look into this once development starts to take off again.

I'll try to get a new host sorted. I'll post again with the new URL.
