[Opensim-users] Map V2 and hypergrid

[Jeff Kelley]

It took me some time to understand that we have two distinct map systems.

Map V1 stores maptiles in the asset server. Map 
V2 uploads them in a directory using 
MapImageServerURI internally, and serves them to 
the viewer through MapTileURL GIVEN DURING LOGIN.

And that's the whole problem because "V2" viewers 
won't see the map in hypergrid since (I suppose) 
their map is bound to their login grid.

Note that, for the time being, V2 map will get 
considerably confused on HG teleports. The first 
step was to make the map work. The next step is 
fixing the map for the Hypergrid. There's a 
brute-force way of doing it, and there's an 
elegant way of doing it. The elegant way of doing 
it requires collaboration with viewer developers. 
Let's see what we can do togetherŠ

This is not implemented in the latest Firestorm, 
when the old and venerable Imprudence displays 
the map perfectly in hypergrid.

So my question : is there any way to force V2 viewers to use V1 map?
