    I've noticed this as well. The geography hasnt updated in the last 24 hours at least because it shows the roof of my mansion as it was a couple of days ago.

    The world has to be imported regularly like a cartograph...

    It's a bit time consuming, and means the server is offline

    Maybe we could setup a timeframe of when people would like it updated

    every couple of days or even once a week is probably best to minimize downtime and workload on cherry.

    Its not 100% necessary to have the map... I mainly use it to see whos online and where people are..

    I always thought it auto updated. If the server needs to be taken offline than it shouldnt be more than once a week or at cherrys convenience.

    What Tal said, it needs to be re-rendered by issue of command, and that crashes the server, so yeah. Best not do it every day. Once/twice a week is enough. :P

    Does it run off the game files on the hard-drive? Could you maybe copy them, then point the map thing at the copy then play away on the original while it renders?

    That would basically mean running an identical server in parallel. It only renders if a server is running online, it doesn't work any other way

    Aha, I thought it would just look at the chunk files and use them - does it actually connect to the server then?

    You mean software that's running as part of the minecraft server or running on the same computer as the minecraft server?

    A mapping program shouldn't need any access to the minecraft server process as all the map info is stored on the hard-drive as text files. If it's a separate program from minecraft then you could just point it to a copy of the files without having to have 2 servers running on the same computer.



    ANYWAY - this version will only update changes to the map files so it doesn't need a complete re-render every time:

    https://github.com/brownan/Minecraft-Overviewer

    It also looks quite cool. It takes an hour or so for the initial render and it's "MUCH faster" aparently after that - I get the impression you could just leave it running on the server computer. Scroll all the way down for documentation.

    i've seen this before, it requires a bit of programming to get running; but it works really well. if the admins are up to the task, its definitely better than the cartograph option. couple of hours work on that, and you'll never have to update the map again.

    The game server is running on a Linux server I presume? Would it be possible to set up a cronjob to do the re-render and restart the game server once render complete? Doing a remap and restart of the server at 4am every day should minimally impact on players?

    I could give you a hand with the shell script if you want?
