Curious how to update the map? I'm willing to put in the time but have no idea how to even begin.

Mysha and I have a sort of mapping co-op agreement. I set up my local server for him and make his ghost invisible. Then he runs a script to use admin commands to jump to specific coords and save a screenshot. Once this is finished (about 8 minutes), he runs another script in GIMP to piece the images together into a 6400x6400 image and sends it to me.

For my part, I run a photoshop script on the map to generate appropriate google maps tiles. Then I run a png optimizer (png gauntlet because I like guis) to shrink the folder down to a reasonable size and finally upload it to my server.

The lengths we go to.
