I am looking again at Map Tiles in Viewer 2 with 0.7.1 dev master.... I am convinced I saw our Openvue region map tiles at some stage... and even made snapshots of them in a Mantis entry when I thought that the issue was that only certain zoom levels showed up:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=5355" target="_blank">http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=5355</a><br>
<br>
But I am not now sure under what conditions I saw those images, and the LL served regions that may be at the same xloc/yloc cell on the LL map for SL seem to show instead. Can anyone shed light on what is MEANT to happen?<br>
<br>
BUT.. I was thinking.... I know that Mic Bowman generalised the [SimianGridMaptiles] module so that it can post the map tiles in the form required to any location... and I am using Diva's Wifi for our web services and I know that Marck recently added a facility in Wifi to serve arbitrary web content from nominated directories. Could this be all that is needed and that with suitable module enable and Wifi configuration in OpenSim.ini and Robust[.HG].ini I can already get this to work I wonder?<br>
<br>
------<br>
The OpenSim.ini can contain the following.. but maybe this has altered with Mic's generalised module? He did say that you can post images to any file location/directory too now I think but I have not spotted which parameters need setting for that?<br>
<br>
;; If you are using a simian grid frontend you can enable<br>
;; this module to upload tile images for the mapping fn<br>
;;<br>
[SimianGridMaptiles]<br>
Enabled = False<br>
MaptileURL = "<a href="http://www.mygrid.com/Grid/" target="_blank">http://www.mygrid.com/Grid/</a>"<br>
RefreshTime = 3600<br>
<br>
<br>
And theRobust[.HG].ini can contain a URL to give to the Viewer 2 for map tiles it seems...<br>
<br>
[LoginService]<br>
...<br>
; For Viewer 2 and other viewers using HTTP served maps<br>
; MapTileURL = "";<br>
