ok, after rebuilding the dynmap management from scratch, i have finally got it to work. One problem left is, dynmap deletes all image files after scanning them in. I have scanned 8 hours, and the folders are empty, but there are still being scanned. I can enter the folders directly and see those images show up as they are being created and then deleted. The map is empty still.

using google chrome, external apache webserver , map at "http://map.mcraft.dk" , and
git-Spigot-1572 (MC: 1.7.10) (Implementing API version 1.7.10-R0.1-SNAPSHOT).

The dynmap config here: (its valid yaml)

please help.

yeh dynmap renders and saves the tiles for flatfile, but seems to delete them aswel, at least for jpg format tiles.. not tried png.. the end result is fully rendered map completed. and zero tile images, just a bunch of empty folders....

sqlite works fine.. i'm sure mysql works aswel.. but i'd prefer those as SECONDARY offsite storage options!!!!! with flatfile as the main one, actually working :D

when i set 200 alpha up, i deleted everything, and the first run was directly with pointing files to disc, default location, and i think that works and keeping the files, but when i corrected the file locations for filetiles and webpath to the other disc, which i have used for this in the past for earlier versions, the tile deletion occurs. I have seen in the changelog, that author has also corrected a bug for purgeworld, it might have something to do with this?

Secondly, i have never suggested the use of mysql for dynmap, only because of the amount of gigabytes that will be transferred here. I am worried for the performance of all other plugins using mysql and their ability to respond in time. 100 gigs of data are a lot to put in a sql table, compared to a few hundred bytes for other plugins. My sql server is at localhost with the mc server, but i still dont trust this amount not to cause a bit of delay. The server itself is fast enough with SSD discs and fast normal Harddisk for the dynmap files. (Amount of data from the worldmaps is greater then any of my SSD-discs).

I described this problem with others before in #1481 nearly at the end^^

But no response...

[fungreenfox]

Psy-Virus, i recognize your problem. I first installed a working setup, where the file path's were pointing default to same folder as dynmap, and i think it worked from here, but i have had the problem since i redirected to a separate disc. It redraws around the player, and when he is gone, so are the surrounding images also agian. I have set the cpu usage down to minimal, to reduce cpu load while we are waiting for a solution.

Even it does work at default settings to same drive, i cannot use this. I have an SSD disk there, which i cannot fill with 150GB extra image data for this. Therefore, i am using a normal HD for dynmap.

I'll give it a look - you see it when you've got the tilespath set to an absolute path, versus a relative one, is that correct?

[XeonG]

tilespath: ../../dynmap_web/tiles

Try tonight's 2.0.0-alpha-2 dev builds - should fix the JPG thing

[Kadah]

I use absolute path and the default relative one on different servers. Will give it a try later.

[XeonG]

yeh its fixed for me now anyway
