[Opensim-dev] Map Tiles in SL Viewer 2 - Again

[Jeroen van Veen]

Hey Ai,

Could that be caused due to maptiles not found? All i know is that setting the 
mapservice url should be enough if the maptile directory has the correct 
tiles. Within the hwios twisted webserver, i made it so that the server 
returns an opaque png on a 404 not found.

kind regards,

Jeroen
