New Map Project

[Qukatt]

So who's starting a new googlemapping project?

And how do I help?

Just save all minimaps

They still need to be compiled somewhere Axpe :)

Give us some details on how to do this when we have a host and I'd gladly help. I don't know anything about computer coding or what to look for so the details will need to be clear and exact. Old map I saw was not as big as I would have thought for the time it was live..

I have not suitable hosting for such a big project. But on the other hand i've got all needed source code xD

What kind of hosting do you need? What was it that was used for the last mapping project?

Single minimap image have size about 2-10 kb. Also there will be needed zoom-images for google maps. So about 50 kb for every minimap image. Based on map size i will need lots of disk space to store them

server would probably be rented

i'll talk to the guy that made the last one, maybe he can just put in new data

Ok guys if you want to help you can:

1. Check that you have fresh dump (since 1 of august i think), do not send old please
2. Zip 'map' (or whatever) folder and upload it to any site
3. Send PM to GrayRat with the link: http://forum.plymouth.seatribe.se/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=309
4. Don't forget to write what client do you use to make dumps

Right now it is better to send dumps from BDSaleM build, because it saves minimaps without random seed, which allows automatic merging.
I think Ender will update his client soon too so you all will be able to help
