how to get rid of black spots?

it occurs some time after fullrender

Hi there! Thanks very much for continuing to update this plugin. It's great!

I've actually never been able to get my Nether to render. I'm using the "Nether" plugin, and I've changed the world name. I've tried all kinds of things in the config file to get it to recognize it, but it never seems to work. The names DO match in the config file, and I've left the rest as defaults (I run on a different port, but I don't think that'd cause the problem). I've also tried changing the map names and prefixes and such to make them unique (they don't seem to be by default, unless I'm missing something). Any ideas?

Edit: well, it kinda works, actually. But it seems I have to run the commands in game. The flat map is a little weird, but maybe that's just because it's hard to render a world with a ceiling.

Edit#2: Ok, so I guess I learned something about multiple worlds: they don't exactly exist unless someone enters them after the server starts up. I think my config file was finally correct enough for this to work.

Which build are you running? If you aren't running one of my private builds, you might want to give it a try. If you already are, I'm interested in the details.

Hello,

It's possible to change the "spawn view" when we go to the Dynmap page?
I suppose when we open the page we go to 0:0:0 and I would to change this ^^
Thanks in advance!

PS: Sorry, I have a bad english x)

Do your private builds work better than the current official build? From what I can tell, and let me know if I'm wrong, it looks like people are getting mixed results. And could you provide me with a link?

Thanks!

Most of what is in the private build are my unofficial fixes and the updates from the current-but-unreleased-official-0.16 source code. I'm looking in to some concerns relative to reported memory use, but given 0.15's characteristics on fullrender (basically, everyone falls off the server until its done) and incremental render (occasional incomplete blocks due to assuming all needed chunks are loaded, even when they aren't), its probably worth trying. The changes, when active, do shift some compute load on to the main server thread for incremental update, but actually shouldn't add memory use directly (the fact that user's DON'T fall off the server during 'fullrender' means they keep consuming the non-trivial per-user memory that they use, but the bubble from fullrender itself is about the same as it was before, and the only extra memory on incremental renders happens when it turns out a chunk needed to be loaded that otherwise would have resulted in a broken tile).

If you're on 0.15, you'll want the full ZIP, since there are updates there (not mine, but from FrozenCow (the author) and zeeZ) that are part of "official-but-unreleased" 0.16. FrozenCow has recently accepted my first round of mods (the timesliced fullrender and the incremental render fix), and I'll be submitting a pull request shortly for the latest round (pulling the tile file I/O and image compression on to an async thread to reduce the load on the main server thread from the other fixes). Ideally, once he gets some time, my builds go away and we get back to a more normal support process.

if i enter code in the webchat parts of them will be executed!
i didn't try how deep this works but you can maniplulate the webinterface.
Bestcase: Lokal Webinterface only -> special chars should be \ so that they are read as a string <- this happens
[Worstcase: Server exploits -> Force String <- this not]

maybe i'll try to find ways to gain controll over the server via webinterface (on my own server)
i'll post my answer later. its impossible

[Post edited]

I'm not having any luck issuing commands via webchat: they just show as messages - ditto with embedding HTML tags - please kick me the details of what you've tried and what it did (private message, if you're concerned about publishing an exploit publicly). Also, please include which version/build are you running.

Make sure the capitalization is proper, like pixel said, but then make sure you have gone into the world and placed a couple blocks. Also do /dynmap render or /dynmap fullrender.

You can also try putting your IP in the url, for example http://69.72.186.6:8123

Hope this helps

Can someone please post a nice, orderly and neat "default" configuration.txt file for me to copy?
The one that came with both 0.15 and Primm's 0.16 (newest one) is a block of text that is hard to read, plus seems to not want to be read correctly. I tried to clean it up but I keep getting errors about the config not being right.

I'd say re-download his config and open it up with notepad++. It's an awesome program that's 1000 times better than notepad, and it makes sure everything is formatted correctly. (unless you mess it up, of course)

Everything is a block of text in notepad, so it's nice to have notepad++.

Hope that helps

@Mike Primm, just want to thank you very very much for your contributations. This was the first time I was able to do a fullrender and not have the server eventually throw severe messages. Now our entire 300mb world is rendered, and the map itself seems to load much faster now as you browse around. Running your most recent #3 build and everything is working perfect! map here - http://mc.fohdeesha.com:8123/

Thanks again man!

i have tested it a lot and it isn't worse
it only destroys the lokal interface
i tried to post the line 21 web\index,html <script maps.google...&v=3.3....>
after i had entered this no other messages were shown until user requested relaod of the whole page
which isnt worse but it is not that what i want. because special charakters are my favourites

which one do you want to render?
the vanilla isn't defined in the render section

The worlds listed and defined in the top level "worlds" section, and the map renderers, need to be consistent with those defines in the "worlds" section under the "web" section - the top-level "worlds" section describes how to render the maps into images (it looks like you didn't edit this), while the web/worlds section describes how to present them on the web interface (which looks like you did edit it).

Of course there is a better version of notepad, why wouldn't there be...
I'll grab it, thanks.

I did not change this because the Map often broke when i add the vanilla map to this.

lol this sucks i have open port and stuff localhost:8123 erm but it just shows a black screen i see the zoom in stuff the time and little options just not the map itself

Shiny, new "all-too-unofficial" private build out - 0.16-MikePrimm-4 - which includes some new stuff:
1) Two words - "wool colors" You need to be using the 'renderonsync: true' option (which helps keep you from getting broken tiles), but it should render colors for all 16 wool tiles. It can do general block data rendering (things with 4 bit block data, like stairs, wood, etc), but I only added color mappings for wool so far
2) Merged the rendering of zoomed tiles with the normal tile renders - should speed things up, but will also keep the maps more consistent during a render across the zoom levels (plus, the fullrender will actually be DONE when it says it's done, not a while later when it gets done with the zoomed tiles).

Hope you like the new stuff!

i got error when doing a full render, and no tiles shown up on the web..

@Mike Primm you are the dude! Those are some awesome updates man, putting it on the server now.

That new build is doing a very fine job fullrendering the map. I'm still waiting how it'll perform/suck memory under heavy user load (24+) because that's our most concern with dynmap on a shared gameserver ...
I already put up renderinterval to 30 (!), deactivated cave map, nether maps, unused components like chat window etc., put up updaterate to 12000 etc.
Any further tuning suggestions are still welcome, because dynmap is one of our most beloved plugins but it's pushing us over the edge of granted ressources every evening ... :/

err i did they way u said and it stills dosent work can u guide me through out this guide Please?

wooo! colored wool! - http://mc.fohdeesha.com:8123

some statistics for those interested

set timesliceinterval to 0.1. The fullrender of our 278mb world took 43 minutes, with the /tiles folder ending with 59MB of images. Server load for this render hovered around 28% on our quad core xeon @ 2.4ghz. Not bad!

Very stable and I don't notice dynmap adding any server load whatsoever, with 20 players or 0.

And every single tile is there, edge to edge on all zoom settings! You're a pro.

I highly recommend everyone grab Mike Primms version, it's been flawless so far

When I want to take a fullrender of Vanilla or Nether the Server say that the worlds did not definied...

Why are you calling it in the render-settings "vanilla" and in the web-settings "Vanilla" as name?
Case sensitive...

I've started working on a change that I believe will non-trivially help the resource concerns - it involves an update that I'm coding and planning to submit to Bukkit, though, so it'll likely take some time and pre-req a future CB build. I've got a couple of other tuning ideas in mind in the shorter run, though, which may help. What are your principle concerns - memory use or CPU load (overall) or server lag?

I'm assuming you're running my latest build (0.16-MikePrimm-4)? If so, it almost looks like you did a full render on a world whose ID is in your configuration.txt (in the top-level 'worlds') section, but isn't actually loaded (or matching the actual name of one of your worlds). If you can include your configuration.txt, as well as the specific command you issued, that would help.

Anyone know how i can have "letter accentuated" in dynmap ?
i have try in index.html
<html lang="fr">
<meta charset="ISO-8859-15" />
<meta charset="UTF-8" />

but nothing work
