#Leaftest

Leaftest consists of a bash script that uses minetestmapper to display the map on a leaflet based zoomable sloppy map. As an example, see VanessaE survival server's map.

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.

Dependencies

Ensure that you have:

-bash
-imagemagick
-minetestmapper

If you want to host the map on the world wide web, you'll need a web server.

Running the mapper script

Get a clone:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/est31/leaftest.git

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.

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:

• 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

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.
