Odd issue, viewer does not seem to update

DerekCresswell commented 3 years ago

I'm sure this is just something simple I am missing but I've been staring at it and have to come here.

I've got a server that I would like to render every once and a while. So have I have 2 renders and the map has changed significantly but when put in the viewer no changes are visible.

I am inputting the data/world folder of my server (which is the one that contains data, region, playerdata, etc. pretty sure this is the folder I want). I'm outputting it to some folders just named with the dates taken. Manually inspecting the map folder I can see that the generated pngs have the correctly updated map.

However, when I move the data folder into the viewer/ directory and turn on a python server I cannot see the changes; it still displays the old map despite that folder no longer being present.

So, what I am missing with the viewer? Thanks a bunch.

Have you ruled out a browser cache issue? In most browsers you can reload the page bypassing cache using a key combination like Ctrl+F5. You can also try a different browser. When putting the files on a real web server, adding an HTTP header with short cache expire time may be advisable.
Please double check that the files are in the right place. The "data" directory should be in the same directory where "index.html" and "MinedMap.js" are located, with "data" having a file "info.json" and subdirectories "map", "light" and "biome".

I had checked and saw no caching issues, I did have it in the right directories. Just turned it on again and it worked so I guess it was some mystery cache issue. Sorry for bothering you! Thanks for the project, I'd be happy to help if you have future plans or issues to work out.
