[Opensim-users] Map V2 and hypergrid

[Shaun T. Erickson]

Diva and lkalif got together at one point and did something that made it 
so that (with Singularity [and I suppose Replex, now]) the local grid's 
map tiles would display after you made an HG TP. I even vaguely recall 
setting up my grid to provide the map tiles for that, so that visitors 
could see my map, but I don't recall what exactly they and I did, 
anymore. I don't know how many other grids might have made the grid-side 
change, as I did. But with it, I think the only tile you couldn't see 
was when you search for the remote region in your map.

Maybe if we can dredge up what it was they did, and what the grid-die 
change was again, we could get the change in Firestorm and get grids to 
make the change they need to, too.
