Minecraft Overviewer

Hm, well it should be...

... some time later ...

AHAH. Forgot to re-enable the cron job.

[Thorin]

You need QA for your software   Or at least a checklist.

rewrite cron job  CHECK
re-enable cron job ... no check?

I was quite tired after I got everything back up, and the script written. Got sidetracked.

This frequently happens to me when I am updating my RSS automation scripts.

[Tom]

Oh, it also had to do with the first run taking 4 hours just to upload the overviewer tiles.

[Thorin]

Is the Overviewer still updating?  I explored a bunch near the UFO last night and none of it's filled in.

[Tom]

Yeah, It's um... broken. I noticed it slightly after I did the upgrade but haven't found the "roundtuits" to fix it.

[Thorin]

Any idea what's broken with the Overviewer?  Is it that you need a new version now that the map is a 1.6 map, or files are not uploading anymore, or something?

I actually fixed it not long after making that post. But forgot to uncomment the cronjob

How often does it update the Overviewer map?  Just wondering when I can go look at the newly-explored areas.

Every two hours, at quarter after. It should have updated at 4:15.

I built a little corral in the yard around my hotel, inside the big fence.  Do you see a corral here, next to the Tele-Portal?  http://mc.tomasu.org/#/27/64/762/max/0/0  If you see it, then it's my browser's cache.  Otherwise, it hasn't updated yet.

I can see it just fine!













Just kidding. It turns out I forgot to change a tiny little config variable for nginx:

Beautiful!  I see the new stuff now.  Thank you!

Also, I should introduce you to the concept of QA

You should introduce me to the concept of memory and patience. Both of the problems I fixed today, I didn't do because I was waiting for the map to rescan when I changed the script. But a fresh map gen takes 2-4 hours.
