Online Worldmap drawing blank tiles. #215

Open beldini opened 7 years ago

beldini commented 7 years ago

Since earlier today it seems all areas where activity occurs on the server are showing up on the web map as blank tiles.

It seems to have settled down and started drawing tiles again. Visiting blank sections in the game get them redrawn.

Hi, It's normal if you're looking at the tiles when the server is rebooting or near to reboot / after a reboot, or when the server is backing up the MFF's servers, also it's normal if you're looking the map each day at the daily VM restart :)

Can you give us the exact date (with hour/minute) you saw it ?

I get a very different response to what I'm talking about when the reboot (or a crash) happens.

If I look at this address:

http://158.69.114.146:8811/#7/14628.000/15465.000

I see 2 large white areas (a square above centre and a sideways L shaped below centre) (in every browser I use on a couple of devices). You will find the 'blank' areas remain across all zoom levels.

Should anyone move into these areas and build something (or trigger some plant growth or similar change) they will get redrawn now.

This started occuring about 24 hours before I posted the original message (I waited in case it was a network hiccup or a side effect of a crash/reboot) and it stopped creating new blank areas and started filling in areas properly again sometime between when I put in my report and when cessna made his edits to this report.

Sorry I can't be more specific as start and end times.

It does seen to be fixing things up now as people move around triggering updates.

Ok i saw it, it seems to be a mtwebmapper problem here.

This areas are alreayd generated chunks, but didn't appear in the mapper. If you join the game and go to this areas, the mapper will update the tiles (for all levels) and display it.

I think in some way we reach a limit of the mapper or met an issue with it. I will report it to the main developper of mtwatellite.

Thank you for your report @beldini
