A 'silhouette' of Second Life world map, with an arrow pointing at a vertical band of relatively recent regions, connecting the NorthEast corner of Azure Islands to the Eastern edge of Tuarua Fiji.
Oh wow, it seems #AzureIslands just made a 'bridge' connecting them to the NorthEast corner of Tuarua Fiji !
This means additional sailing path to East Corsica !

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:

Hi-res map of the "New Haven" area as of April 2024.
Oh no ... New Haven in #SecondLife is gone?
That is sad ... it was a beautifully built area.

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.

Should I add region rating indicator to my Hi-Res #SecondLifeMaps ?
If so, how -- and where -- to implement it?

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.

HEADS UP !
I'm going to upload the April 2024 Edition of my Hi-Res #SecondLifeMaps TOMORROW.
I'll OVERWRITE the PNG files of the January 2024 Edition, keeping only the WebP or JPEG-XL ones.
If you want to save the January 2024 Edition, TODAY IS YOUR LAST CHANCE

A snapshot of the Second Life World Map Mosaic, showing how far the Zindra continent is to the rest of the Mainlands.
Such uncrossable chasm ...
The funny thing is, there's a multitude of (private) A-rated regions MUCH nearer to the non-A Mainlands than Zindra ...

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.

Let's see if Bsky can handle transparent PNGs, because Xitter surely can't.

A 4% zoom-out (1:25 scale) of the High-Resolution map of Second Life's Bellisseria, as of 2024-04-10.
Here's how it looks like at 4% zoom (1:25 scale)

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.

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.

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.
