Overlay informations on PDF maps and other stuff

July 12th, 2010

Yesterday I deployed some smaller additions and polished some features. Mostly because of the weather I’m quite lazy to sit down and write a longer blog post. So lets quickly sum up the changes

  • Added the infolayer to all available map formats. For PDF Maps it’s ?overlay=type The infolayer options are the same like in the current map view
    Example: Pure_Blind-Fade-Deklein.pdf?overlay=const
  • Added a new combined map:
    Tribute-and-surroundings
  • Changed the source for corporation and alliance logos to CCP’s Image Server.
  • Alliance member corporations and a couple other pages are showing the small corporation/alliance logo in the listing.
  • The (jump)range tool now allows you to select the maximum number of gates you wanna travel in your sub-capital ship.
  • The Live Ticker allows now to filter by Date or Date:Range (in the URL)
  • Some more internal updates an improving like redone the map caching and info/data system, improved my api daemon background tools, created an evemail notifier, etc.

I started to write a documentation for all the URL filters and customization options for maps and other stuff.

Upcoming Event

For those who’ve followed the forum thread on CAOD from the beginning should know that something is coming up. Maybe I’ll do an open TS day event, when I find enough time after work, if there are peopleΒ  out, who wanna share their thoughts and opinions on this special day. I’ll make an additional post when it’s getting closer.

Over and out. I’ll try trying not to melt πŸ™‚ At least the data center/server temperature seems to be stable.

    (Sorry to use what is probably the wrong venue. It was an easy click from the front page.)

    Long time fan, first time poster — oh wait, just found this place, first time poster.

    I can’t believe I didn’t stumble across this site before. After a very few glances I’m already bowled over (doesn’t hurt that I’m a gigantic map junkie, be they historical or MMO maps).

    Just wanted to say thanks for this amazing resource. This newb appreciates it! πŸ™‚

    Is it possible to get multiple “overlays” on to a single .pdf? For example, I would like to print one of the muli-region tactical maps and add our regional JB network to it(?path=…), but I would also like to have the systems colored by constellation (?overlay=const), because I think the const overview is a bit easier to read in printed form.

    Thanks for all your hard work!

      Sure you can combine those 2 things (overlay + path)

      map.pdf?overlay=const&path=<insertjbpathhere>

    Not sure where to report this, but on the Cobald Edge-Map the circles for Ice Belts are missing since some days.
