It’s been a while since I updated the map of Agni, so in between UHU5 upgrades, I thought it was prudent to update the map. As before, the image is available on the Second Life Wiki, though for this update I’ve added a new image.

A complaint of previous updates was that the image of [...]

Over the weekend I discovered that the Linden Lab webmap API is giving out rather odd results- it’s showing the same region existing in a couple hundred different places at once, which is of course a technical impossibility.
Because of this, the Linden Lab webmap API can be considered unreliable and unfortunately since I’m using the [...]

Over the new year, I exhaustively searched the grid within the confines of the size of the grid as my database was aware (e.g. the query didn’t check outside the minimum and maximum boundaries). Afterwards, I generated and posted several images of the Agni grid.
In an effort to improve the data provided by my version [...]

In an effort to future proof my version of the SL Webmap API against 3rd party grids (as well as open up the possibility of mapping Linden Lab’s various grids), I registered a new domain this afternoon- mapapi.net.
The reference implementation for the client interface is now available at agni.sl.mapapi.net, which as you may notice is [...]

Now that I’ve been playing with Linden Lab’s webmap API and their Google Appliance I’m now able to generate the list of regions dynamically. Two changes to how they’re indexed: Now rather than being in one big page the index is split up alphanumerically, and the links now direct you to my rewrite of Linden [...]

If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you’re probably aware that I put up a rather minimal webmap API under the SLOpenID banner a while back. The development of that API was discontinued after Linden Lab pulled the bloated javascript file that enabled me to get the co-ordinates for all the regions in [...]

SL Map API
Following on from my previous post, I’ve now kinda got my SL Map API back to where it was. I’m still not doing all the image processing yet, and there’s two reasons for this:
the whole process takes quite a long time to complete, as well as taking up a substantial amount of bandwidth [...]

As I’ve been mentioning recently, I’ve been revamping my old Map API using eventful.com’s API as a data source. Currently, there’s only 1 call, http://services.signpostmarv.name/secondlife/mapapi/.
Call by Region
http://services.signpostmarv.name/secondlife/mapapi/foo/ where foo is the name of your region of choice.
Call by global co-ordinates
http://services.signpostmarv.name/secondlife/mapapi/x-y/.
Results
If you make a call by name for a region that’s not in my cache, you’ll [...]

Jeff Linden on the ‘old’ Linden Lab SL Maps API
In my opinion, we deployed it before we were really ready to scale it. The way it works is kinda awkward, as anyone who’s tried to hack it up can see.
I think, that what we really should be doing, is just giving out a sim image [...]
