If you ever need a custom hi-res map of an area in #SecondLife, just tell me!
I just need the boundaries. Or 2 opposite corners.

So something happened to the alliance behind New Haven, but rest assured, the creator is alive and well and still active in #SecondLife
In fact, they have started a new project:
#CityOfPortofino
#SecondLifeMaps
#SecondLifeCartography
#SecondLifeGeography
Aaaaand ... Done!
August 2024 Edition of #SecondLife Hi-Res Map Set has been uploaded into my Box (link in reply)

Uploaded up to and including Heterocera

Starting to grab all those hi-res #SecondLife maptiles.
Should be done by mid-week.

Going to update my #SecondLife hi-res map set this week.
Stay tuned!

A screenshot of PyCharm, showing the process of editing a JSON-based schema that describes the structure of "known.yaml" file. Some of the properties in the schema are collapsed, in which case PyCharm showed the embedded "$comment" field, if any.
Making a schema for #SecondLifeMaps data points, using PyCharm.

When it's done, I'll post the link to the schema as a reply to this post.
A screenshot of the output of the Clump Analysis program I've just run, showing that two areas have now grown to encompass 15 regions each: "Bauer" and "EroticaIslands"
It seems two areas in #SecondLife have grown to become 15-region areas. I'll update my #SecondLifeMaps soon.

A simplified Second Life Map highlighting new ( <2 days old ) regions colored in yellow, pointed by a red arrow. The Heterocera continent is labeled on the lower right corner, and the new regions are to the northwest of Heterocera.
A partial screenshot of the output of the program I used to list new regions, stating the region's location (grid sector and coordinates), age, and name.
Interesting development in this area of #SecondLife
#SecondLifeGeography #SecondLifeCartography
Should I add region rating indicator to my Hi-Res #SecondLifeMaps ?
If so, how -- and where -- to implement it?

A screenshot of "exiftool" ran against one of my maps, showing that I have implemented the fixed metadata.
Oh my. Apparently "exiftool" will use the custom "License" iTXt field as basis to create the EXIF "XMP-cc:License" for embedding into WebP. And it expects an URL.
Okay fixing the metadata.
#SecondLife #SecondLifeMaps #SecondLifeCartography
A screenshot of the output of the "exiftool" command, run against one of the map files, showing some important metadata, notably "Author", "Copyright", and License information.
Almost forgot to apply the proper PNG Metadata for all the generated files...

Still several pieces of the puzzle before I can publish the April 2024 Edition of my Hi-Res #SecondLifeMaps
- World Map ("nightlights" and "mosaic" versions)
- Grid Maps
- Upload them all to Box
- Last-minute fixes

An annotated map of Second Life's Bellisseria supercontinent. Originally a transparent PNG.
Annotated Map of #SecondLife #Bellisseria,
April 2024 Edition.
#SecondLifeMaps #SecondLifeCartography
Let's see if Bsky can handle transparent PNGs, because Xitter surely can't.
Here's a complete list of the regions that make up #SecondLife #Bellisseria , all 2662 of them:

As an illustration as to how big that is:
You will need 72 ( SEVENTY-TWO! ) 4K monitors arranged in a 6x12 grid to show the whole map at 1:1 zoom level.
#SecondLife #SecondLifeMaps #SecondLifeCartography
A map of the WHOLE #Bellisseria Supercontinent of #SecondLife is sized 19'986 x 24'576 pixels (491 MEGApixels), and as PNG consumes 333.1 MiB of storage space.
Wow.

A screenshot of the git commit logs done to update the coverage of the maps for the April 2024 Edition of Second Life Hi-Res Maps by yours truly.
So many updates ...
#SecondLife #SecondLifeCartography
Tonight I will temporarily suspend retrieval of new names/regions from #SecondLife .
Because I need every single bandwidth I have to pull in the hi-res map tiles from the #SecondLifeMaps server.
#SecondLifeCartography
Okay so I have updated the "Clumps" of regions outside of #SecondLife Mainlands.
The Mainlands, though ... with its 8340 regions (including Bellisseria) ... uh, I'll just generate-and-fix.

A screenshot of the in-viewer World Map showing the area where Fantasy Faire will take place.
Ha, that square-ish area? It's #SecondLife #FantasyFaire !!
I have no access inside, but I still can grab a hi-res map of!

A snapshot of the in-viewer World Map showing the "ElvenIsle" area, comprising 6 regions arranged vertically in one line.
Mysterious area in #SecondLife ... I cannot visit it ...
Tempted to just drop this area from my April 2024 Edition of Hi-Res #SecondLifeMaps, but they have made the 6-region cut, so I'll include them, albeit grudgingly ...

It's April !!
Do you know what that means ?
Time to make the April 2024 Edition of the Hi-Res #SecondLife Maps !!

It seems #SecondLife is preparing for SL21B already...

Wow, 32 new regions in #SecondLife ?
Interesting!
