Qie Niangao Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 No idea how much hope to invest here, but apparently there's rumor of a hint of possible prospects. Per @Inara Pey's blog: Quote WORLD MAP UPDATE Also at the TPV Developer meeting, Grumpity supplied an update on the world Map tile generation situation: I’M ALSO GOING TO DO A THING THAT IS AN ABSOLUTE TABOO AND I TOTALLY SHOULDN’T BE DOING; BUT WE’RE IN THE PROCESS OF PUTTING OUT UPDATES TO MAP GENERATION. SO FINGERS CROSSED, [THINGS WILL] GET BACK TO NORMAL. IT HAS TURNED OUT TO BE A MUCH BIGGER EFFORT THAN ANYONE HAD WANTED IT TO BE … WE WOULDN’T HAVE CHOSEN FOR THIS TO BE SO HARD. Fingers crossed, @Grumpity Linden, fingers crossed indeed. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardy Lay Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 I am getting some overview tiles now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarin Kiergarten Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Looks like the southern half of Heterocera and the western two-thirds of Sansara are stable from about 1% - 75% zoom. Areas of some other continents seem to appear and become stable at around 15-20%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvia Tamalyn Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 I'm able to zoom out now. Newer regions in Bellisseria are not yet showing up, but it's progress for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claire Atheria Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Just noticed the map updated for one of my parcels, which was abandoned for a while previously! Was so used to seeing empty land on the map, now there's actual stuff there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryn Kiyori Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Seems to working nice for me. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arabellajones Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Current status is good. The only regions still showing major zoom problems are Northern Heterocera and Zindra. The maptile gaps for the Second Norway extension and the north-east of Bellisseria to Satori have been fixed, though there are a few glitches. This weekend's group trips should be workable over most of the Grid. I am not expecting anything to change over the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the areas which vanished as you zoomed out are now visible for longer. It looks like more maptiles have been generated, and there may be some sort of caching done in the viewer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nika Talaj Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 New maptiles! Zoom improving steadily! This is delightful! Thank you, nameless engineers who are working on this, and @Grumpity Linden for giving a heads up in the User Group, and @Inara Pey for reporting it in her excellent blog! 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Nova Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 It took a few hours for the fix to propagate through the viewer cache I guess, as this wasn't working for me before today, but now it is! Wonderful news. Thank you unknown programmer of Linden Lab. In celebration I bought some more Linden Dollars (and beat the price hike) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucy Bronet Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I have a cluster of 9 sims. Only 4 of them have updated map tiles so far. Been waiting what? Since January? But two of the four that are now active actually did update properly. That's progress at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayrah Parx Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) It seemed to be updating fine again every day until April 27th. I know for sure that the current image in 4 regions is still from April 26th based on what is pictured, and the last modified date on the server confirms it for every region I've checked with these images: https://map.secondlife.com/map-1-[global x]-[global y]-objects.jpg such as https://map.secondlife.com/map-1-1000-1000-objects.jpg for Da Boom Edited May 4, 2021 by Sayrah Parx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They show a placeholder name "Ursula" followed by a number. @KjartanEno, I plotted those “ghost regions” around Zindra on a map. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4lice Cerise Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 (edited) On 4/1/2021 at 6:02 PM, Qie Niangao said: Note that the location was originally assigned the name "Ursula 104" up until 7 June 2009, then it became "Zindra" between 17 June 2009 and 5 November 2011 when it was changed (after much controversy) to "Mosh South" which it remains. Someone truly obsessed with Zindra history might investigate why "Ursula 104" was first surveyed 22 Jan 2009, but "Ursula 281" wasn't surveyed until three months later, on 27 April—whatever "surveyed" even means in that case. Oh, this is interesting! (Please see this new topic about Zindra geography.) (Later: Hm, should have noticed it’s the same topic… Sorry about the spam!)
