Arrgh, MC Map is infuriating.

Somtimes occasionaly it would say in the progress box "Pass 1 of 2", and on those occasions it would take like 20+ minutes to draw the map. Normally it takes 2-4 minutes.

Now when I've spotted it doing that I've hit cancel and relaunched it and it does it normally.

Last night the first time I tried it crashed. Then it said "pass 1 of 2" so I cancelled. Then the next time it said "pass 1 of 4". So I gav eup and went to bed.

Today I'm doing it and it fucking says "Pass 1 of 6". WTF is going on with it?!?!?!?!

I can see my ittty bitty house now, woo!
I can also see that I forgot to improve one of the corners, d'oh!

Took about 40 minutes but it did finish this time. I'm uploading just now.

Some boring server stats:

World maps are now coming in at just shy of 30MB, due to people who love to go exploring.

The World files are around 160MB (size on disk) over 37,296 files.

In the last 24 hours my router has uploaded 2,527MB, I would suspect that 90% of that is the Server. This is a bit less than the normal 3GB a day since the server went online :S

Hahah, omg :'D
I haven't really explored until now, and I won't start really. I'll just stick to mining around the areas that have already been explored.

Ah, right. Probably can do that, but not much point. It's less CPU intensive to keep it as it doesn't have to worry about regenerating those bits if/when they're needed. Meh, I don't really care -it's only 160MB!

I'm still thinking I should look into the hMod thing where you can put the world into a MySQL database for better performance and more reliable saves, but I'm not sure if you can move existing worlds to MySQL or if you have to create them in MySQL from scratch. :\

Still?

I noticed a lot of chunks were failing to load earlier and itw as being laggy so I restarted the server, but might need to reboot the PC I guess :\

Any better?

And lay some road deck on my bridge :C Stone, not cobblestone ta x
