[MISC] Dynmap v1.7-alpha-2 - Real-time Minecraft maps [1.2.5 through 1.5.2R0.1+]

I've been using Dymap now for over a few months...it's been working great. But recently, I've had to re-image my game server. I decided this time to go with a ramdisk setup. Unfortunately, It is no longer working...Is there something special I need to do to make it work out of the box with RamDisk?

Nope - I run my servers the same way. I'd suggest changing the tilespath to a directory that isn't on the RAM disk (unless you've got a truly enormous amount of RAM), as running out of space on your worlds data disk can be fatal to your world data integrity.

Yes, I deleted ALL dynmap files on the server, I did a full extract of the zip, placed the unzipped files in a separate folder and then uploaded them. The server starts, it creates default config files and it doesn't work.

I am not sure what you mean about different user IDs, I have one computer and one ID to log in to the server with.

Also, typing /dynmap in game gives immediate black screen and disconnect. I get normal results when typing this in console.

Screen shots are of the web files you mentioned on the server and the view in web page.

Any help would be great

hey can dynmap be used by hamachi? can the ip in hamachi be able too?
5.16.226.199 please make it a map please please please? thats my server ip

Thanks Mike. Got it figured out. Working great now.

dus this plugin support muliworld? Ay have 3 worlds running.

My question is related to the website.
Is there a way to exclude the surface (the thing above the underground) out of the cave view mode?

I am asking because it is slightly disturbing to see the surface objects when trying to look inside the caves.
So when I switch to cave mode I see e.g. a building on top in light green. But I only want to look at the caves.

In addition it would be nice to see lightning effects (torches e.g.) --> somehting like day / night view?

Is this possible?


Edit:
Extreme is the jungle biome. In cave mode I can see the lianas from the rainforrest trees.

Edit:
I tried using lit-cave. Looks better now. I must wait until rerender is complete.

i have a problem ...whenever i send a link to a friend to view the map it shows as if the link is unavailable but the server is running fine ...yes i have installed the plugin correctly but the config is at default..pls help

This plugin worked fin until I reinstalled it. but now I, the folder dosn't generate. I only paste inside the plugins directory and then run the server none of this helps? no error or react.

Help Thank you verry much

Have you installed the full package? There should be folders premade before you even run the server.

Nice plugin

Map disabled due to inactivity

I posted a while ago, but I am still having issues.

I have been using the plugin for a long time, but recently it stopped working for no reason. All I get is this


I completely wiped all dynmap files and reinstalled. I have tried 0.36, .37, .38 and .39 and they all give this same screen. Here is a pastie of my startup log with all other addons disabled http://pastie.org/3903848 This is with the default config files. All web files are there.

I have not made any other changes to the server or my computer. It is a multicraft server hosted on a paid server and all is normal other than this issue. Dynmap has been working very well for me for the last 4 months or so.

I don't know if this is related, but another problem I have is that when I type /dynmap in game, I immediately get black screen and disconnection.

Thank You very much for any help you can provide!

in the world config you can set "visibilitylimits" and "hiddenlimits" what is the difference between those ?

There is no folder. I've tried running this one and the recommended one. Not a single react. anyone upload the dynmap.rar to me on www.speedyshare.com ?

You've

must have downloaded the API futher down the page and not the actual plugin.

At the top of the page it says:

If you choose "Download latest (recommended) version" it should be a zip-file. Inside that zip you'll find dynmap.jar and a dynmap folder (which contains even more folders). Unzip it all into your plugin folder.

The same goes for the unstable releases. They are zip-files with folder and one *.jar. I've tried them all right now and they are all working.

Since it has been quite some time since I bothered you with my ideas I thought it's about time now.

I use dynmap and the factions-plugins and love the way factions are shown on the map. I also love that I can change the color that each faction are shown with.

The problem with different colours for each faction is that I have to do it manually and keep up with all new factions being created. I would love to be able to give the users the ability to choose their own colours instead. Something like /f colour a3f5a4 or something like that. Either that or to use a coloursheet. A textfile where I list the colours myself and they are picked randomly whenever someone creates a faction.

I do remember me asking about this a while back, but I don't remeber any answer to it (which I'm sure I got since you're awesome at answering all these stupid questions ).

One other thing I was just wondering about. The login to the map to be able to chat. Is there any way to make it pull the users from a database? Since everyone on my server has to register on my site to be able to login on the server it would be awesome if they didn't have to concern themself with any registrations on the map.

Just thoughts and questions. Love your plugin. One of the most important and amazing plugins found on bukkit. (if not the most amazing)

Using this one with an adventure plugin that creates maps named "name.playername".
Is it in any way possible to prevent all name.* maps to be shown? Any wildcards?
Or, the other way around, to ONLY show main worlds and create any other worlds created or loaded by plugins?
Couldn't find anything like this in the FAQ/Wiki besides stating every single world by name and setting it to false, obviously no solution for my case... Thank you!

I'm trying to setup Dynmap on my web server and I amend the configuration.txt, copy the files to the webspace although when going to the link I get the following error:-

Error: "Could not retrieve configuration: Not Found"

Any clues how to fix this?

95% of the time, the directory thing means one of three things:
1) You only extracted the JAR or a subset of the whole ZIP
2) You changes the 'webpath' and didn't copy the 'web' directory contents to the new location
3) You have the files, but they aren't readable for some reason (you extracted using a user ID other than the one that runs the server, for example)
My best guess, given your server.log, is more likely 2 (since I don't see other errors I'd expect with just the JAR having been installed.).

It'd be possible to pull users from a database, so long as there was some way to check their authentication (that is, have them prove that they were the users they claim to be via our web interface): typically this involves a password or password hash, but this sort of thing tends to be very proprietary to the specific user database (that is, there are dozens of different user repositories out there, and everyone is different). Which mechanism are you using? I'd love to have a good way to support them all - I've been leaning towards something like OpenID, which lots of web authentication systems support.

This is with nothing changed in the webpath or anything else ... as mentioned, this is a completely fresh install and the files are all default. I don't claim to be an expert, but I am not a first time installer, I have been using this for a long time

edit: please let me know if there is any way I can prove I haven't changed the web path.

At present, we will try to handle any world that comes along using the default template for that type of world (e.g. a 'normal' world via the normal-<prefix>.txt template, where <prefix> is the deftemplateprefix). If you want new/different worlds to not be handled by default, make sure the default template has no maps. Then you need to make sure the worlds you want are NOT using the default template (that is, by setting them up using worlds.txt or the /dmap commands).

Don't know what to tell you - default extract of the ZIP with default settings works for 1000's of folks, so I know its good: if you are seeing what you are seeing, its because that isn't the case in some way that matters.

I

I know, and it worked for me up until 3 days ago .... it just stopped working

Oh, another thing I forgot to mention ... after 3-6 hours, a lot of times the map will start working and stop doing that Directory thing on its own .... but as soon as i reload/restart it will go back to directory

edit: I started disabling some of the components to see what that might do, and the problem was solved by disabling the Markers component. So I don't know what that means, but my map works just fine without markers.

What other plugins do you use?

Well. Wordpress/Joomla is the main CMS's I'm using atm. Think I'll hang on to these to. I'm not quite sure what hash Joomla 2.5 uses, gotta check that up. Old joomla used md5 but I think noone really uses that much anymore since it's quite unsafe.
Wordpress (and drupal to I think) uses phpass atleast.

the error occurs even with all other plugins disabled

That sounds really strange.
