Hey I was wondering if we could add a LIVE MAP to the server? Here's an example of how it looks:

what do you think? There is also a Low-res one for less lag

I does want

I was thinking about this too. Imagine those poor people who live in the wild. Anyone browsing the map would be able to see their location and raid/grief their hideout. Unless the map were to not show players...
And what about the in game map? :D

Well I used to make regular renders of our overhead map, but ever since the 3x expansion of the boundary, my mapper couldn't handle the size of the map.
In addition, the Y-value expansion has completely broken my mapper, Cartograph G, so I can't even render small maps anymore without getting UPC-Code-looking jargon.
If anyone knows of a good mapper for gigantic maps, let me know, and I'll happily use it and post the picture. I'll even throw in city/common location labels for free.

The last server i played on had a pretty good live map. It had support for multiple worlds, and for infinite maps too. Not sure what the name of it was tho :/ I could ask tho

Well if you're talking about a live map that updates as players use it on the server, we did have Dynamic Map for a while (literally doubling the file count I had to backup I might add) and I don't know why it was removed, might have been due to lag or the fact that it only loaded certain chunks and didn't have a smooth transition (aka it had giant chunk-sized holes) between one area and another. It also showed players, but I'm pretty sure that's config-based.

I really like this. Also the number of people who keep asking me if they can just SEE Unova is quite annoying at times :D
-
maybe a map that just showed the parts u allowed it to show (parts in regions), other parts would be black?
also, it could just show an overhead view without player loacations if that makes too much lag
-
Its a good idea. And a lot of big servers have it. So ill look around :P
-
It would certainly be nice to see all that current and previous members have build...
-
It would be awesome.

Dynmap allows you to hide player positions, and only load specific places:

Sounds good!
