MTSatellite is "realtime" web mapping system for [Minetest](http://minetest.net) worlds.
With this system you can play your world and you instantly have an online map of it which
can be share on the web.

## Backup your world
MTSatellite is still young. So stop your running Minetest server and make a backup of your world
before you will start crying.
## Convert world database into interleaved format
MTSatellite operates best if the block data of the world is stored in a LevelDB database with
a key scheme called interleaved. With this key scheme you can pick up sets of neighbored blocks a
lot quicker than with a plain database.
See [Z-order curve](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-order_curve) at Wikipedia for grasping the core ideas.
MTSatellite can run on plain LevelDB or SQlite3 world databases but this reduces the performance significantly.

MTSatellite can run on plain LevelDB or SQLite3 world databases but this reduces the performance significantly.
This is also not tested very well and will likely break your database. So do not use it! Stay with the
interleaved format!

Depending on the size of your world and the speed of your computer system this conversion will take some time.
Change `-source-backend=sqlite` to `-source-backend=leveldb` if your world is stored as a LevelDB.
`mtdbconverter` can also be used to convert your world back to the plain key scheme.
See `mtdbconverter --help` for all options.
