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.

I have to admit, whatever update about the wiremap, something went wrong somewhere. The tiles are now pretty lossy looking, like they weren't saved in png or something, that and the maint shafts are now totally dark.
That said the new zoom is nice.
