---===Static Map bye bye?===---

Post by Maxloader » April 7th, 2011, 11:36 pm

Guys,

I want to remove the static map, this because it needs to generate AND upload a png picture of about 70 MB, there is no browser who is gonna render that and windows fax viewer also refuses it.
Only way to view it is trough photoshop.
Also it sucks up precious upload speed every hour when its uploading, which affects gameplay in a bad way.

With the static map i mean this one: http://www.maxloader.nl/worldmap/
I disabled the uploading of new renders already cuz i think this vote will pass, i can enable it again if the poll turns out differently.

So just cast your vote above and lets get this over with :P
Personally i think the dynamic map is fine.

I love the visual look of the static map, and now with the addition of the top down view on the dynamic map, wonder if its possible to change the renderer of the dynamic map to the same as the static?

The png is too big for photoshop now too (lol) is there a program that will auto slice for me?

I believe the dynmap plugin is as it is and you can only import different color schemes.
I don't know if that program exists, im pretty sure it does but i wouldn't know where.

Yeah I don't use it because it takes forever to load and the dynamic map has so many more uses. However I would like a download version if that is possible like atleast once a month... Would be cool to have but I don't know if it is possible.
