#Leaftest
Leaftest consists of a bash script that uses [minetestmapper](https://github.com/Rogier-5/minetest-mapper-cpp) to display the map on a leaflet based zoomable sloppy map. As an example, see [VanessaE survival server's map](https://daconcepts.com/vanessa/hobbies/minetest/worldmaps/Survival_World/map.html).

For an example, see [VanessaE survival server's map](https://daconcepts.com/vanessa/hobbies/minetest/worldmaps/Survival_World/map.html).
The map is generated in chunks through many invocations of `minetestmapper` instead of one invocation and large file thats cropped later, so that memory requirements for all tools are unrelated to the map size.
The map is generated through many invocations of `minetestmapper` with small chunks,
instead of one invocation with the whole map, which gets cropped later.
This will keep memory requirements for all tools mostly unrelated to the map size.
### Dependencies
@ -26,15 +29,17 @@ To start the mapping, do:
MAPPERDIR=dir/containing/minetestmapper ./mapper.sh path/to/world spawnx,spawny dimension
```
The `dimension` number specifies the width and height of the map that should be rendered, centering with your spawn position. `dimension` should be a multiple of 8*256 = 2048, 6144 is a good starting value.
Make sure that you have provided a `colors.txt` file, e.g. by putting it inside the world directory.
The list of parameters passed via the invocation is fixed,
but you can use the environment variable mechanism
to pass further options to the mapper script:

The list of parameters passed via the invocation is fixed.
Further options are passed to the mapper script via the
environment variable mechanism (as observable above):
* `MAPPERDIR` must point to the path that contains the minetestmapper executable
* `MAPPERPARAMS` can be used to pass custom parameters to the `minetestmapper` invocation
* `JOBNUM` can be used to enable parallelisation. Set it to a positive number to
* `JOBNUM` can be set to an integer > 1 to run `JOBNUM` many processes in parallel to speed up the mapping process
After mapping has finished, you can open the `www/map.html` file. If you want to publish your results, you can either symlink the `www` directory into your `/var/www` directory, or copy it. Due to usage of relative symlinks, you should use `rsync -L`, so that the copied directory doesn't contain symlinks.
