    Map Update

    I was wondering if it would be possible to do a map update? I know it crashes the server, so I was wondering if it would be possible to schedule the map update, and possibly bring down the server for the duration of the update to reduce total utilization and allow the map render to utilize more system resources.

    We don't need to have the map update occur daily, but once a month or so would be nice.

    Thanks,
    Galiac

    Re: Map Update

    I've got the map rendering now - but i'll render this only once before the 1.2 update. The storage mechanism changed in 1.2 and overviewer, so it's gonna take a while and manual work before I can update the map.

    I'll keep you posted on progress.

    Re: Map Update

    Render has been running about a day now - we're at 22% completed. Keep in mind this is because we're having to re-render from scratch due to a bunch of changes. Normal run shouldn't take anywhere as long.

    This render should be done sometime on the weekend. Hopefully by then we'll have a 1.2 release.

    Re: Map Update

    The render continues to run- it looks to be about half done now. It crashed partway through and I had to move it to a different partition on a different machine because there wasn't enough space... the render is using 8 cores and close to 200G of disk space. We have a big map.

    I'll perform the upgrade to the server to 1.2 soon, probably before the render is done.
