C:DDA Cartographer Web app

Cartographer

The sleek web-app incarnation of the CDDA overmapper tools.

Status: Consider alpha. It works, usually.

Things missing:

• Some way to better handle the upload. CDDA map files tend to get very huge very fast. But then accepting common archives (like zip) is a can of worms
• Similarly the generated maps tend to be in megabytes (no problem if space and bandwidth aren't an issue of course)
• It doesn't actually clean old maps at all
• General robustness, error handling and reporting

On the bright side the mapper is fast, being very close to a native x86_64 build of the Go version (profiling and streaming JSON parsers do wonders for performance improvements).

You should be able to find the currently running instance at the CDDA Web Tools Directory.

Setup

You'll need a working Beanstalk daemon and terrain.dat, which you can generate using the overmapper-2.rb (yes, this is alpha and this functionality hasn't been imported here yet).

$ git clone https://github.com/drbig/cartographer.git
$ cd cartographer
$ $EDITOR .env
$ bundle install
$ rake assets:all
$ foreman start
