Region Maps

[Leighton Marjoram]

I have found this script that creates a map on a prim of my region (http://forums.osgrid.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4277) which worked really well the only problem is that all the maps come out with huge blacked out areas.

Is there a way that this can be done without having the map obscured and detail of the region features kept in tact.

Any help or information would be appreciated thank you in advance.

i read about this someplace or other and don't recall where...

but i think it has to do with how a grid does their region mapping...there is a way to enable the maps to look more real as i have seen this on some grids...

i am sure the owners here can elaborate more on this...

Those are prims

The more-realistic mapping module in OpenSim causes a bigger load on the server (I hope I've got this right). So to keep down the lag for everyone it's best to use the module that draws the uglier looking map showing the crude shape of prims on the land. (Aesthetically, I would prefer the prettier map, but speedier OpenSim is definitely a worthwhile trade-off.)

I wonder if another option might be to turn off drawing prims on all maps, so that only the terrain is shown. This happens anyway for the non-SW regions in megaregion maps. At least that way we'd lose the horrible black blocks that obscure the landscape.

thank you everyone for you replies I have used an opensim server I have running on my laptop and adjusted the settings in the opensim.ini file (http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Warp3DImageModule) then generated the maptiles locally using oar downloads of my regions. Here are the created pics:
