hey, me again, I noticed a cool feature of your map mod.

if you pregen the map using /wgen pregen [radius]

your map mod will actually gen those chunks even though they have not been visited. this is really cool :D

😂so get this
I created a powershell script with an interface to create markers
the script saves the marker file it creates to a google drive share
my server has a scheduled task that runs every so often and copies the marker files to the location in the map and modifies the settings file to account for the name hahaha
so now my friends can add markers to the map 🤣

So apparently I am not good at reading -.-
I see you have a wiki link, will look at that :D
ignore me

I noticed that you might add markers to the map at some point
however I did see in the config file you had me look at that there is a marker section
is it at all possible to add markers manually or is that whole function not availble?
I noticed on your server map you had a little house icon for the spawn point :P

That worked. the modifying the x,y values for the map :D
and also, I was so use to games adding firewall entries automatically when they prompt for the changes to be made that I didnt realise this isnt an app, its a mod haha.
After actually adding the new ports into my firewall, it all worked. see..... knew it was something dumb I did..... or didnt do in this case haha.

But yeah, after adjusting the values, its all working perfectly now :D
If I come across anything else weird, ill let you know. keep it up, I love Dynmap for minecraft and this is that for VS <3

hey, amazing idea and I will really like to get this to work.

I have followed everything, and it creates all the needed files and such.
the part I am stuck on is a few things

1) portforward does not want to work for some reason, but localhost on the server works fine. (I will deal with this but thought Id mention it) could be something stupid I have done
2) when I go to the page, its not black like someone else mentioned. its a weird dark blue color. textured color.
although the map has finished generating and I have done it a few times, the map itself does not want to load the terrain.
I have also set up a different web server (wamp) and that does the same thing, page loads the blue textured background with no terrain.

is this something I am doing wrong? any ideas?

Thanks for the mod and help when\if you have a chance :D

Everything should be working fine for you. Unfortunately, the security concerns for some operating systems is outside the scope of this project. There are many workarounds for it, such as running VS in admin mode, or allowing the url in netsh, etc. My recommendation for anyone experiencing issues with the built in web server if to run their own 3rd party server, like Apache, Nginx, or Caddy. The built in web server is really only provided as a convenience for those that it is able to work for. My personal setup is running the built in web server on Linux os, so there were no security concerns there. I also have an Apache server running in front of it, which is allowing me to reverse proxy a secure HTTPS address on port 443 to the private HTTP port of the built in server. You honestly don't even need to run the built in web server, which is hy there is an option to turn it off in the config. All you have to do is point your 3rd party web server to the web directory the mod installed. This sounds like the best option for you since you are using Windows os. I hope to have some instructions and examples about all this up on the wiki eventually.

As for the black screen, this is normal until you have fully run a fullrender on the world. The data to make the map is rather heavy to process, so it doesnt do the whole thing on it's own. Depending on your map size it could take a few seconds up to a few hours. To give you an idea, my server linked above does a fullrender in about 20 minutes. Currently there is no output to the console/log/game about the progress of the fullrender, other than some debug output which you can enable in the livemap.yml config file.

Line 44 in webserver.cs - doesn't that need to allow for localhost and a secure domain? Like I think need to add https too in case someone runs it on a public secure domain? Anyway, atm, I'm trying to get Windows 10 firewall to allow this to execute and this line is the failure point in SP mode. FWIW, this discusses the pain point https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4019466/httplistener-access-denied/

Following the suggestion in the SO post, when I run VS game in admin mode after having opened port localhost:8080 a map interface appears. However, all I see is a blank (black) map that says Vintage Story LiveMap in the bottom right. Unfortunately, the map isn't updating or getting populated with data from the game instance.

I wish you well with this endeavor. It will be a fun tool once it is all working. :)

Very excited to see where this goes! I started looking into making a map site with leaflet, but imho, interfacing with the game is the harder part and is a bit too complicated for my current understanding of C#, lol... 

Wow that looks amazing!  Can't wait to try it.

heck yeah, dude

Billy, this looks amazing man!  Watching your progress with this very eagerly
