Making Tiles With Zoom 15 Removes Place Names

[Kobusvdwalt]

Hi there, thanks for this excellent project !

I am trying to generate Zoom15 tiles to get a map that includes names for my small roads. This works, however when I do this I loose the bigger place names. Generating with the default config works perfectly fine, but I'd like a little more detail when you zoom in.

Here are some screenshots of the problem: Zoom 14 Tileset (With Place Names)

Here is the config I used for the Zoom 15 tiles:

{
    "layers": {
        "place":            { "minzoom":  0, "maxzoom": 15 },

            "tiles": ["https://example.com/liechtenstein/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf"]
        }
    }
}

I read through the lua code, but it was a little hard to follow, I assume we need to update something in there, or make that script work for Z 15, is there a way we could configure that as a variable somewhere ?

I had a similar problem.

728 should fix this - have a try and let me know if it works for you.
