Well, I'm still wondering how I did miss this thread before.

You are doing a wonderful job with this clickable map Mith!!!
Congratulations and thanks for it

i have not been updating it for at least two months. This is because debian screwed my java setup, and i didn't even notice it...

anyway, it replaced my symlinks in /usr/bin to some creapy kaffe package. Fine, but that does NOT work. Glad i discovered this before whining about a broken CFJavaEditor

After linking /usr/bin/java* to sun's JDK, everything worked as expected.

Now i am rebuidling CFJavaEditor, hoping that it actually does remove all map data after closing a map, and i hope to rebuild 900 map images tomorrow. (i hope my script can cope with that big numbers...)

When all images are done, i will update the WorldViewer.
And if it happens that all scripts work as they should do, i will release the script(s) used to generate the images, together with a set of images and php-scripts that form the web-page.

note that you will likely need (SUN) Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_01-b08)

hmm, I can't help but think that an unholy allience of bash scripting and image magick might not prove to be an easier way to generate the images needed....

(something that read in all the archetypes, grabbed the images from the arch file definition, then checked if the item had 'is ground' set or not, then composite the images of all archs in the square, creating a slew of output images for each square that could then be convert -adjoin'ed together to create the map image, which could be scaled as needed.)

hmm, now that I mention it, it seems like it could be quite a useful idea for the indoor maps too, could be a very nice way to spam the new wiki that techII is planning

that alliance would better be written in php or python. Bash is not that fast

Anyway, I have been thinking about that, and yes, it should be possible. I did not give it a try for I have no clue how to manage images that are more than one square.
