Title: Live Map...
Post by: greedy_jam on March 18, 2012, 06:16:55 pm
if been looking on the live map to see if i can find my friends house, not easy... on another server i was on, they had a map and it had the name of the player & where they was on the map ... thought that would be cool to add , it would be alot easier... just a thought X:D

That's the "Dynmap" addon, and I'll agree that it's pretty nice.  You would have to customize it to disable the underground view though.  Griefers use that as a tool to locate hidden things, and players can use it to scout without actually exploring, all in all not a good thing.

Currently, the map that optical has up right now isn't able to handle livestream information. It updates every 15 minutes, and the fact most people crowd around the market/ spawn makes it pretty unreliable if it had the 'dynmap' feature.

We don't really need the map to show the players, I don't see a need.
