Live Map suggestion
« on: April 09, 2013, 11:31:45 am »
Ok, so I thought that We can have a live map edit, and then we can see where we all are without trying to spam up chat with "What's your coordinates?" Plus it has a tool that can see what players are saying. THis is good for Moderators to look at the live map, and if they see someone harassing one another, they can just come straight in-game.

While its cool to see yourself and others moving around and talking, I believe the reason this isn't implemented is that doing so would require thousands more map updates, pretty much frame by frame updates to be truly a "live" map, instead of the current, I believe, hourly updates. This would bog down server memory and increase CPU usage by quite a considerable amount if it were updating constantly for 20+ people

Nice for small servers, but like Tiggy said, pretty resource demanding.

This is the Dynmap plugin. Very terrible compared to MC Overviewer (in my opinion)

I think we just need the current plugin to be updated with the new blocks.

So far it hasn't because stuff such as emerald blocks aren't showing up for me.

Do you really want people to be able to see where you are when you're ingame?

Another thing, Opticraft usually has 50-75 people on. Do you really want to see 55 player heads? lol

     I agree with all these comments, It would take EXTREME amounts of updates, Also, letssay I'm working on a project randomly, I see someone on a nearby hill crouching and stalking me with a diamond sword in their hand. Then there would be complaints of people "stalking" them and stuff. No, this just wouldn't work.
