I've got the map rendering on another dedicated server at Peer1 and updated the generation software.

It takes 30 minutes for the map to render. That's 3 hours fater then before, but better, we're not touching our servers resources.

I think I'll step it up but I've got some work to do before I do that. If it only takes 30 minutes, we could update a few times a day. :)
 
That's awesome dude!

I have a question though, if I may ask, how much does that cost? o.O
 
I wouldn't recommend updating too often, even if it only takes 30 minutes.

What if this performance degrades?
Also, 2 or 3 times a day is plenty enough.
 
twice daily sounds fare, every 12 hours. I'll schedule them for 7am and 7pm, and the map should be updated by every 12 hours on the 8.

Performance should only degrade as our map gets bigger. It's running on our dev server so I'm not concerned about resources.

Costs? same as before.
$125 for dev
$350 for live
(plus tax)

Ahh okay, I thought you bought a whole new server for that, lol.
 
Hmm, looks like the new map server broke all of the existing links on the forums.

When clicked they all forward to the new server without the location information.

Yen will also need to update the map links to reflect the new host.
 
Thanks Carnage, I'll fix that.

Don't worry about updating the old links, but do as many as you can. I'll put a redirect on server.minecraftaddicts.com/map.
 
I really like the new way the renders look. Not sure if you are still working on it but the redirect on server.minecraftaddicts.com/map is still not working properly, and the signs seem to no longer update at all. I still see signs I broke over a week ago and vice versa for signs I placed days ago.

Interesting, signs aren't getting removed?

I haven't made the redirect yet. I'll try and get that done this weekend.
 
Hey Jangles, not sure if this is of any use or not but I believe the option to update the signs is a parameter of the map rendering plugin so it may simply be missing (which means the chunks are updating but the signs are getting ignored)
 
Thanks. It's not a command line option rather a file that's being overwritten, hopefully. I'm doing a re-render now and I'll let you know when to check again.
